Block sleep at the beginning of bash commands to prevent agents from wasting time waiting. Polling loops with sleep are still allowed. Error message guides agents to use 'while ! condition; do sleep 1; done' instead of standalone 'sleep N'. Pattern: /^\s*sleep\s/ - only matches sleep at start, not in loops or after other commands.

Blocks
sleepat the start of bash commands to prevent agents from wasting time waiting. Agents are instructed via error message to use polling loops instead (while ! condition; do sleep 1; done).Pattern:
/^\s*sleep\s/- Only blocks sleep at the beginning, not in loops or after other commands.Examples:
sleep 5while ! test -f done; do sleep 1; doneecho start; sleep 2Tests verify blocking behavior and confirm sleep works correctly in polling loops.
