Github Copilot CLI incorrectly says data input to an awk command is in a different path

[jovere]

Describe the bug

When using github copilot cli, I'll get annoying popups where it claims copilot is trying to access directories outside the workspace, when it's nothing close to a directory, it's the data from an AWK command.

Affected version

GitHub Copilot CLI 0.0.400.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

It's difficult to get the specific steps, but here's a command that will cause the nuisance trip.

  $ for phase in {1..21}; do echo "=== Phase $phase ==="; grep -A 2 "^/// Phase $phase:"
  controller.cpp | head -3; grep "^TEST_F"
  controller.cpp | awk -v p=$phase 'BEGIN{start=0} /Phase
  '"$phase"'/{start=1} start && /Phase [0-9]+/ && !/Phase '"$phase"'/{start=0} start' | wc -l | xargs echo "  Tests:";
  echo ""; done

It incorrectly thinks '/{start=1} start && /Phase [0-9]+/ && !/Phase '"$phase"'/{start=0} start' is a path.

Expected behavior

No nuisance trips

It looks like whatever is parsing shell commands is doing a terrible time at it.

Same thing with a sed parameter:
