What is a Bash workflow for repeatable sessions?

It's extract signal to files, verify line counts, cleanup temps – turning noisy terminals into documented wins.

How do you clean up Bash artifacts quickly?

Use `rm *.tmp signals.txt` or `trap 'cleanup' EXIT` for auto-wipe on exit.

Does this Bash workflow work on Windows?

Yes, via WSL or the linked Bash training in browser – perfect for cross-platform teams.
