WHAT IT DOES

What build_script_from_commands does on Remote Terminal

AI agents invoke build_script_from_commands to trigger actions in Remote Terminal. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
