Problem
alias and unalias are implemented in the interpreter and covered by spec tests, but public docs/specs still imply alias support is missing. That makes feature discovery and roadmap discussion inaccurate.
Evidence
crates/bashkit/src/interpreter/mod.rs implements execute_alias_builtin() and execute_unalias_builtin()crates/bashkit/tests/spec_cases/bash/alias.test.sh existsspecs/009-implementation-status.md still lists alias under "Not Yet Implemented"specs/005-builtins.md does not list alias/unalias among supported builtins
Scope
- Update builtin reference to include
alias and unalias
- Remove alias from stale "Not Yet Implemented" status
- Clarify current behavior: gated by
shopt -s expand_aliases, parser-time first-word expansion, trailing-space chaining, recursion guard
- Add cross-links from compatibility/docs if needed
Why
If Bashkit already supports aliases, docs should say so. If behavior is intentionally partial, document the exact limits instead of advertising the feature as missing.
