              it in both operators. Add a unit test for _input_ids covering the
              BatchEncoding and bare-sequence cases. This is the sweep I should
              have done at #15.

+Description: Add a prominent clarification to the README intro that sekft trains
+             shell operation, not function-calling: the model is given no typed
+             tool API or JSON-schema action list; it writes plain-text commands
+             at a real prompt with the whole system as its action space,
+             discovered like a person does.
