[FIX] High volume of terminal tool failures

[Da-Mikey]

Problem (observed in real usage)

The agent experiences a very high rate of direct failures when using the tool, distinct from repeated attempts.

Evidence (aggregated, anonymized)

• Frequency: 1625 tool failures across recent sessions.
• Tool/area involved: tool.
• Failure shape: Direct command failures, indicating issues with command syntax, environment, or execution.

Impact on real tasks

This severely impacts the agent's ability to perform core system operations, installations, and other shell-based tasks, leading to frequent task blockages.

Proposed direction

Investigate the root causes of command failures. This could involve improved command validation, better handling of environment specifics, or more robust error parsing and recovery for common shell utilities.

Value

• Impact: 1.0
• Effort: 0.9
• Priority Score: 2.22

Rejected by evolution-analysis: out-of-scope — This is an investigation meta-issue. The evolution introspection pipeline already surfaces tool_failure signals per tool and generates concrete implementation issues from them. A general 'investigate terminal failures' issue has no actionable implementation path.
