Summary

Fixes a real finding from the promotion PR's (#1046) latest review round.

Show-DownloadAndRunRemedy printed a fixed powershell -File menu.ps1 (or bootstrap.ps1) regardless of what the original invocation was called with, so a user told to download and run the file after a piped-in or no-console run lost -DryRun (or, on bootstrap.ps1, the chosen action) and got the full default behavior instead of what they asked for. Reuses the existing Get-ForwardedArgument helper to append the original bound parameters to the printed command, in both menu.ps1 and bootstrap.ps1.

Verification

  • Both files parse clean under pwsh 7 and real Windows PowerShell 5.1, and lint clean against PSScriptAnalyzerSettings.psd1.
  • Verified menu.ps1 -DryRun under a no-console run prints the remedy with -DryRun forwarded, and the no-flags case prints unchanged.
  • Verified bootstrap.ps1 -Report -Yes forwards both, isolated from an unrelated console-detection quirk in this test environment's piped stdin.
  • .husky/pre-commit (ruff, mypy, prose_lint, eol) passes clean.

Forward Invocation Flags in PowerShell Download Remedies

🐞 Bug fix 🕐 Less than 10 minutes

High-Level Assessment

Reusing each standalone script's existing Get-ForwardedArgument helper is the best fit: it keeps remedy behavior aligned with the PowerShell 7 handoff without introducing a shared dependency that independently downloadable scripts could not rely on.

Preserve bootstrap actions and flags in download remedies

• The printed bootstrap rerun command now appends arguments rebuilt from the original bound parameters. This prevents actions such as '-Report' and options such as '-Yes' or '-DryRun' from being lost after downloading the script.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The download-and-run remedies now preserve the original PowerShell invocation arguments. Non-switch values are quoted, and embedded single quotes are escaped.

The remedies format and append the original bound arguments to the generated PowerShell command. Switches remain unquoted, and non-switch values use escaped single-quoted strings.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to fab62

This localized change preserves the original command-line flags when printing download remedies in both scripts, preventing users from unexpectedly losing options such as dry-run or selected actions. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Action required

1. Forwarded values lose quoting ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
The bootstrap remedy flattens raw argument tokens with spaces, so a valid invocation such as `-Dir
'C:\Work Area' is printed as -Dir C:\Work Area` and fails to reproduce the original invocation
when pasted. Values containing PowerShell syntax characters can likewise be reinterpreted as syntax
instead of remaining one parameter value.
Code

host-setup/bootstrap.ps1[R389-391]

+    $forwarded = (Get-ForwardedArgument) -join ' '
+    $suffix = if ($forwarded) { " $forwarded" } else { '' }
+    info "  powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File bootstrap.ps1$suffix"
Relevance

●●● Strong

Clear correctness bug: joining raw PowerShell arguments breaks pasteable paths with spaces; no close
rejection precedent found.

PR-#1041

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
Ref and Dir accept arbitrary strings, while Get-ForwardedArgument returns each value as a raw
array element with no source-code escaping. The existing handoff preserves those array boundaries
via splatting, but the changed remedy converts the elements into one command string that users are
explicitly instructed to paste.

The download remedy joins raw forwarded argument tokens into PowerShell source, losing argument boundaries and allowing parameter values to be parsed as syntax.

## Issue Context
`Get-ForwardedArgument` is safe for array splatting during direct process invocation, but its output is not already quoted for inclusion in a pasteable command string. Preserve empty values, whitespace, quotes, and PowerShell metacharacters when rendering the command.

Comment thread host-setup/bootstrap.ps1 Outdated
Get-ForwardedArgument's array is safe for splatting into a real process
invocation, but joining its raw tokens with a plain space for display
loses argument boundaries: a value carrying a space (-Dir 'C:\Work Area')
printed as -Dir C:\Work Area, and a value carrying a single quote could
be reinterpreted as syntax when pasted. Format-ForwardedArgumentForDisplay
renders the same array as one pasteable command-line string instead,
single-quoting every value and doubling an embedded quote. Verified by
feeding the printed remedy back through a real PowerShell param() block
and confirming both a spaced path and an embedded quote round-trip.

Comment thread host-setup/bootstrap.ps1 Outdated
Format-ForwardedArgumentForDisplay guessed whether a token was a flag
name or a value by matching it against /^-[A-Za-z]+$/. A value that
happens to look like a flag (-Ref '-Yes') matched that pattern too, so
it printed unquoted (-Ref -Yes) and would bind -Yes as its own switch
when pasted, exactly the class of bug the quoting fix in the prior
commit was meant to close. Rewritten to classify directly from
SCRIPT_BOUND_PARAMETERS's own [switch] type instead of guessing from a
value's shape. Verified against the reported repro (-Ref '-Yes' now
prints and round-trips correctly) and both prior cases (a spaced path,
an embedded quote).
