The record must identify the execution surface; a cloud sandbox is not local-machine shell access.
Direct answer
8 of 10 tracked products have a source-backed state for terminal access.
That total includes conditional, plan-limited, platform-limited, and experimental support. It is not a count of universal “yes” answers. Records were reviewed on 2026-07-27.
| Product | State | Scope | Evidence | Verified |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | Supported with conditions | Agent mode runs commands in a terminal on ChatGPT's virtual computer, not the user's local shell. The help center says agent mode is paid plans only, not Free, and lists monthly limits for Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise. Edu appears in workspace-control headings but not in that limit table, so it is not recorded as a confirmed plan. ChatGPT Work also documents shell commands, with availability depending on plan, platform, region, rollout, and workspace settings. Codex CLI is a separate product. | 3 primary | |

A support state only becomes decision-grade when the required plan, product surface, platform, and operating conditions match your use case. Open a record before treating a matrix symbol as a purchase decision.
