- Around line 41-42: Update the Literal handling in getStaticPartText to decode
backslash escapes according to the shell quoting context, passing double-quote
context through from the quoted-string traversal. Ensure unquoted escapes and
double-quoted escapes follow their respective shell rules so getStaticText
returns the command name Bash uses.

mvdan-sh npm 0.10.1 mvdan.cc/sh syntax Lit.Value backslash escaped literal
💡 Result:
`mvdan-sh` **0.10.1** is the old GopherJS JavaScript build of `mvdan/sh`; it is now deprecated. ([npmjs.com](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mvdan-sh?activeTab=dependencies&utm_source=openai))
In the shell syntax tree, `Lit.Value` is **not a decoded, shell-evaluated argument**. It holds the literal text of an unquoted `Lit` node. So an escaped character such as `\*` remains represented with its backslash in the literal text; a backslash-newline continuation is the exception—the newline is removed, and the split isn’t preserved in `Value`. ([pkg.go.dev](https://pkg.go.dev/gopkg.in/mvdan/sh.v1/syntax?utm_source=openai))
That describes the Go syntax API; I couldn’t verify the exact behavior against the transpiled **npm 0.10.1** build specifically. If you share the shell input you’re parsing, I can illustrate the expected node/value.

🌐 Web query:
GitHub source mvdan-sh npm 0.10.1 GopherJS Lit Value escaped backslash
💡 Result:
For **`mvdan-sh@0.10.1`**, the npm page confirms it is the GopherJS-transpiled JavaScript package and documents assigning to a parsed node’s `Value`. ([npmjs.com](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mvdan-sh?activeTab=dependencies&utm_source=openai))
The GitHub parser source shows that a `Lit` node’s `Value` is assigned from the parser’s literal text; when interpreting an unquoted literal, the parser treats a backslash as escaping the following character. So `Lit.Value` is **not necessarily the shell’s unescaped argument value**—it can retain the backslash as part of the source literal. ([github.com](https://github.com/mvdan/sh/blob/master/syntax/parser.go?utm_source=openai))
**Version caveat:** that GitHub link is the current `master` source, not a verified snapshot of the code bundled in npm `0.10.1`. The npm page links to the repository, but the available sources don’t establish the exact `Lit.Value` behavior for that package version.

mvdan-sh npm package 0.10.1 GitHub repository GopherJS source syntax Lit.Value
💡 Result:
`mvdan-sh@0.10.1` is a deprecated npm package that exposes a JavaScript version of `mvdan/sh`, transpiled from Go with GopherJS. The npm README’s example walks the parsed syntax tree and changes `node.Value` when the node type is `"SglQuoted"`; that is the package’s documented JavaScript usage, not a direct Go source excerpt. ([npmjs.com](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mvdan-sh?activeTab=dependencies&utm_source=openai))
The repository is [`mvdan/sh`](https://github.com/mvdan/sh). Its current README says the old GopherJS package is archived and recommends `sh-syntax` instead. The repository-level information doesn’t establish the exact Go source or commit bundled in npm version 0.10.1, so I can’t confirm that version’s `Lit.Value` definition from these sources.

Decode literal escapes in their shell quoting context.
mvdan-sh preserves unquoted escapes in Lit.Value, and the translator copies that value to Literal.value. For c\d /tmp, getStaticText therefore returns c\d, while Bash uses cd as the command name. isCommandNamed(statement, "cd") can miss that command. Decode escapes according to whether each literal is unquoted or inside double quotes.
Suggested fix

+function getStaticPartText(
+ part: WordPartNode,

Update the Literal handling in getStaticPartText to decode backslash escapes
according to the shell quoting context, passing double-quote context through
from the quoted-string traversal. Ensure unquoted escapes and double-quoted
escapes follow their respective shell rules so getStaticText returns the command
name Bash uses.
