The command splitter pre-replaced shell constructs with placeholder
tokens by regex before handing the string to shell-quote. Parameter
expansions were masked before substitution extraction, so the payload
of `echo ${x:-$(rm -rf ~/work)}` never became its own segment, and the
lazy substitution regex cut nested forms at the first close paren, so
`ls $(foo $(rm -rf /) bar)` produced three bogus fragments. In both
shapes the inner command rode the outer command's allowlist approval
(Zoo-Code-Org#1947).
Replace the sequential regex pipeline in parse-command.ts with one
quote-aware, left-to-right scan that tracks quote state, delimiter
depth, and heredoc state in a single pass. shell-quote still
tokenizes the masked host text. Every extracted substitution payload
is re-scanned through the same path, so nested, expansion-embedded,
process-substitution, and heredoc-embedded commands become independent
segments that each match the allow/deny lists under the existing
rules. A heredoc body under an unquoted delimiter is scanned, because
the shell expands substitutions there; a quoted-delimiter body stays
literal.
The scan also fails closed. An expansion or arithmetic delimiter that
was opened but never closed, a stray close delimiter with no opener,
a raw NUL byte, or substitution nesting beyond 64 levels now yields a
parse error, and the decision becomes malformed_command (ask/deny)
instead of an approval resting on a partial decomposition. Unbalanced
delimiters inside quoted regions stay parseable: a shell never parses
them there.
Allow/deny matching semantics are untouched; commands.ts gains
comment updates only. Substitutions inside double-quoted regions
remain opaque to the splitter, as before.

Handle empty heredoc delimiters before masking to end of input.
<<'' produces an empty delimiter, so the first blank line terminates the heredoc. This branch instead masks through end of input. For cat <<''\nbody\n\nrm -rf /, parseCommand returns one cat segment and an allowlist containing cat can auto-approve the later rm -rf /. Parse the empty-line terminator or return a heredoc parse error. Add a regression test for a command after that terminator. Bash applies quote removal to the delimiter word, including quoted empty words. (gnu.org)

Track grouping parentheses inside substitution frames.
Inside $( (echo safe) ), the first ) closes the command-substitution frame because the scanner does not track the inner bare (. The final ) then becomes a stray closer. parseCommand returns malformed_command for valid shell input and blocks normal allowlist approval. Track bare-parenthesis depth per command/process-substitution frame and add this regression case.

Reject an unclosed quote in a heredoc delimiter before approval.
parseHeredocDelimiter stops at CR and accepts the missing closing quote. For cat <<'X\r\n'; rm -rf /\nX\r\n, the parser marks the heredoc as quoted, keeps '; rm -rf / in the body, and emits no separate rm command. getCommandDecision(..., ["cat"]) can therefore auto-approve it.
Bash treats CR and LF as ordinary characters inside a single-quoted word. The quote on the next line closes the delimiter, and ; rm -rf / is an executable command separator. Return a delimiter parse error when the closing quote is absent, and update the expectations in src/shared/__tests__/parse-command.spec.ts.

What this fixes
The allowlist splitter cuts a command into sub-commands with a regex pipeline that cannot see nesting, so a substitution hidden inside a parameter expansion or truncated by nesting never gets matched against the lists and runs on the outer command's approval. #1947 has the two repro one-liners (
echo ${x:-$(rm -rf ~/work)}andls $(foo $(rm -rf /) bar), bothauto_approveonmain) and the root-cause walkthrough; this PR implements the fix that issue asks for.What the PR does
