Three faults found while porting this repository's build tasks into
OpenINF/.github, all of which are here too. Fixed there in #888;
this is the same three changes.

editorconfig-checker 6.1.1 → 7.0.0

The npm package is a wrapper that fetches a Go binary from the
project's newest GitHub release and globs the asset by name.
v4.0.0, published 2026-09-03, renamed every asset from ec-* to
editorconfig-checker-*, so 6.1.1 now asks for one that does not
exist:

Failed to download binary:
Error: The binary 'ec-linux-amd64*' not found

This is the urgent one — verify.validForEC fails on any machine
without a cached binary, which is every CI runner and no development
machine. It fails where nobody is watching and passes where they are.

Because 4.0.0 is a major bump of the checker itself, I confirmed it
still does its job rather than passing vacuously: a file with trailing
whitespace and a tab indent gives 2 errors and exit 1, and emptying
Exclude in .ecrc.json surfaces new errors, so the config is read.

JSON5 was checked by nothing

Biome has no JSON5 parser. Handed one it reports the path as ignored
and carries on, so **/*.json5 in the JSON tasks read as coverage
while being none — .renovaterc.json5 was not being looked at at all.
It now goes to prettier, which does have the parser. The override uses
quoteProps: preserve and singleQuote: false so the file keeps the
spelling renovate documents; this is for syntax and layout, not a
restyle, and the file is unchanged.

Discovered paths reach the shell unquoted

Each task builds its command as one string, so ${files.join(' ')}
makes a filename shell text. A path with a space splits into two failed
arguments; a $(...) or ; in a tracked filename is a command of
someone else's choosing running in CI, and this repository is public.

verify.filenames objects to such names, but it cannot be the guard:
verify.all continues past a failing task and hands the next one
exactly what it just objected to, and the per-language workflow steps
do not run it at all.

Added quote() in build/utils.mts, routed all 23 tasks through it,
and covered it with five tests — including a round trip through the
real shell exec uses, since the escaping is only worth anything if
that shell agrees with it.

Verification

nps test passes locally except verify.svg and
verify.htmlValidForVNU, which fail with command not found: java on
the untouched baseline too — no JDK in my container. CI has one.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Formatting and verification commands now shell-quote discovered paths. JSON5 files use Prettier with dedicated configuration, while JSON and JSONC files continue to use Biome.

Changes

Formatting tooling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shell quoting helper and tests
build/utils.mts, build/utils.test.mts
Adds the exported quote utility and tests path escaping, shell metacharacters, embedded quotes, and shell round trips.
Formatter command and JSON5 handling
.prettierrc.yml, build/tasks/format/*
Formatter commands quote file arguments. JSON5 files use Prettier, while JSON and JSONC files use Biome.
Verification command arguments
build/tasks/verify/*, package.json
Verification commands quote discovered paths. JSON5 files use Prettier, and the editorconfig-checker development dependency changes to version 7.0.0.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 380dd

Build tasks now safely pass file paths to shell commands and route JSON5 through Prettier. No current merge-blocking risk remains.

Fixed in the latest push, and thank you — that was the same bug this PR is about, in the one place I did not look.

${vnu} is an absolute path into node_modules rather than something glob returned, so quoting the discovered paths left it bare. A checkout under a directory with a space in its name would have split java -jar from its argument.

Sweeping for the pattern rather than fixing the one site turned up a second instance you did not flagbuild/tasks/verify/verify-html-valid-for-vnu.mts:22 had the identical java -jar ${vnu}. Both are quoted now.

I checked the rest of the sweep by hand: the remaining unquoted interpolations are either report prose (check-vendored.mts building an issue body) or execFileSync argv arrays in land-pull-request.mts, neither of which reaches a shell.

Three faults found while porting this repository's build tasks into
OpenINF/.github, all of them here too.

`editorconfig-checker` moves to 7.0.0. The wrapper fetches its binary
from the newest GitHub release and globs the asset by name, and 4.0.0
renamed every asset from `ec-*` to `editorconfig-checker-*`. So 6.1.1
asks for one that is no longer there, and `verify.validForEC` fails on
any machine without a cached binary -- which is every CI runner, and no
development machine, so it fails where nobody is watching and passes
where they are.

JSON5 goes to prettier rather than to Biome, which has no parser for
it. Handed one, Biome reports the path as ignored and carries on, so
naming `**/*.json5` beside the others read as coverage while being
none: nothing was looking at `.renovaterc.json5` at all. The prettier
override keeps the spelling renovate documents rather than restyling
the file.

Every path a task discovers is quoted before it reaches the shell. A
task builds its command as one string, so a filename is shell text by
the time the tool sees it: a space in one splits an argument in two,
and a `$(...)` or a `;` is a command of somebody else's choosing,
running in CI. `verify.filenames` objects to names like that, but it
cannot be the guard -- it is one task among the rest, and a failing one
does not stop the others being handed what it just objected to.

The path to the vnu jar is quoted too, in both tasks that run it. It is
an absolute path into node_modules rather than something glob found, so
the first pass left it bare -- and a checkout under a directory with a
space in its name would have split `java -jar` from its argument. The
same bug this commit is about, in the one place it did not look.

A name that looks like an option gets a leading `./` as well. Quoting
settles what the shell does with a name and nothing about what the tool
makes of it: `'--write.md'` reaches prettier as `--write.md`, which it
reads as an option, printing an error and exiting 0 -- a check that
passed having checked nothing.

Follow-on, pushed just now: the same sweep turned up that quoting does not go far enough on its own.

quote('--write.md') produces '--write.md'; the shell strips the quotes and prettier receives --write.md, which it reads as an option — it prints Cannot read properties of null and exits 0. A check that passes having checked nothing.

A leading ./ on names beginning with - fixes it, with two tests. Same change is up for review separately in OpenINF/.github#903, where the original quote() landed.

nps test passes here except verify.svg and verify.htmlValidForVNU, which fail with command not found: java on the untouched baseline too — no JDK in my container.
