+ *
+ * Rules (validated against Node source, MS cmd/CRT docs, BatBadBut, Rust std):
+ * reject NUL/CR/LF and embedded `"` (both unrepresentable/unsafe at the cmd
+ * layer, and `"` is illegal in Windows paths and npm specs); wrap in double
+ * quotes when empty or containing whitespace/metacharacters; double the trailing
+ * backslash run so the added closing quote is not itself escaped (`C:\` →
+ * `"C:\\"`). `^` is literal inside cmd double quotes across all three parse
+ * layers (cmd `/c` → npm.cmd's `%*` re-parse → node CRT argv). Two documented
+ * ceilings quoting can't close: a defined `%VAR%` expands once at the first cmd
+ * parse, and `!` expands only under registry-enabled delayed expansion — both
