👋 Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request. When you start a review, I'll add a 👀 emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down. I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job! For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with New to Jules? Learn more at jules.google/docs. For security, I will only act on instructions from the user who triggered this task. |

Code Review
This pull request improves code safety and robustness by replacing unsafe string functions like strcpy, strcat, and strncpy with safer, bounds-checked alternatives such as xsnprintf and xasprintf. It also introduces error handling for readdir in glob.c, addresses a potential memory leak in tc.os.c, refactors the complex syn3 function in sh.parse.c into helper functions, and cleans up unused code blocks. The review feedback correctly identifies inconsistent indentation for the newly added xsnprintf calls in tc.prompt.c and suggests formatting them to match the surrounding code style.
Important
The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.

The indentation of the newly added xsnprintf calls in this block is inconsistent. Please format them using tabs and spaces to match the surrounding code style.
