What it actually did when run
observedLoaded in a sandbox with no network, a read-only filesystem and a recording stand-in for pi's API. This is what it called — not what the source suggests it might.
Replaces pi's built-in tools: read, glob, bash.
Every use of those tools goes through this
package instead of pi.
