Summary

I've successfully completed the global rename from execute_bash to execute_terminal across the codebase. Here's what was changed:

Files Modified (3 files, 36 insertions, 36 deletions):

  1. openhands/core/llm/utils/fn_call_converter.py:

    • Renamed EXECUTE_BASH_TOOL_NAME → EXECUTE_TERMINAL_TOOL_NAME
    • Updated all function call examples: <function=execute_bash> → <function=execute_terminal>
    • Updated all execution result messages: [execute_bash] → [execute_terminal]
    • Updated dictionary key: TOOL_EXAMPLES["execute_bash"] → TOOL_EXAMPLES["execute_terminal"]
    • Updated tool name checks in get_example_for_tools()
    • Updated Windows-specific logic to replace "terminal" with "powershell"

  2. openhands/core/context/prompt.py:

    • Updated Windows-specific refine_prompt() function to replace "terminal" with "powershell" instead of "bash"
    • Updated docstring and comments accordingly

  3. README.md:

    • Updated tools list: execute_bash → execute_terminal

Verification:

  • ✅ All pre-commit checks passed (Ruff formatting/linting, Pyright type checking)
  • ✅ No remaining references to execute_bash or EXECUTE_BASH in the codebase
  • ✅ No BashTool class existed (already renamed in previous work)
  • ✅ Changes committed and pushed to the rename branch

The PR will be automatically updated with these changes.
