 I cannot seem to find  detailed document/manual on using bash robustly

Let me be the first of many to point you to the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide:

Mostly you need to familiarise yourself with 'man bash'. There's the
Advanced Bash Scripting Guide, but it's neither advanced nor
particularly good. The devmanual [1] has a fair bit of related
information, but it mostly focuses upon the ebuild environment.
