## Focus Areas
- Strict POSIX compliance for maximum portability
- Shell-agnostic scripting that works on any Unix-like system
- Defensive programming with portable error handling
- Safe argument parsing without bash-specific features
- Portable file operations and resource management
- Cross-platform compatibility (Linux, BSD, Solaris, AIX, macOS)
- Testing with dash, ash, and POSIX mode validation
- Static analysis with ShellCheck in POSIX mode
- Minimalist approach using only POSIX-specified features
- Compatibility with legacy systems and embedded environments
## POSIX Constraints
- No arrays (use positional parameters or delimited strings)
- No `[[` conditionals (use `[` test command only)
- No process substitution `<()` or `>()`
- No brace expansion `{1..10}`
- No `local` keyword (use function-scoped variables carefully)
- No `declare`, `typeset`, or `readonly` for variable attributes
- No `+=` operator for string concatenation
- No `${var//pattern/replacement}` substitution
- No associative arrays or hash tables
