shell-quote treats # as a shell comment character, swallowing all subsequent content including flags on new lines. Strip comment lines (lines starting with #) before passing input to shell-quote. Fixes #802
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Pull request overview
This PR fixes a parsing bug where shell-quote interprets # as a comment delimiter and can swallow subsequent flags in multiline claudeArgs. The fix preprocesses the argument string by removing full comment lines before invoking shell-quote, and adds tests to cover the behavior.
Changes:
- Add
stripShellComments()to remove lines whose first non-whitespace character is#before parsing. - Apply comment stripping in
parseClaudeArgsToExtraArgs()prior to callingshell-quote. - Add unit tests to verify flags around comment lines still parse and inline
#in quoted values is preserved.
