Multiline agent-launch prompts (claude/codex/opencode argv injection) were mangled when Orca typed the startup command into the interactive shell. The command is single-quoted, but its literal embedded newlines survive quoting; bash readline / zsh zle read every raw LF as accept-line (Enter), so the first newline submits an unterminated single-quoted command, drops the shell into PS2 (>) continuation, and the rest executes piecemeal — backticks/$ evaluate, quotes go unbalanced, and the agent never receives the intact prompt. Short single-line prompts worked because they have no embedded newline. Fix: when a startup command contains a newline, wrap the payload in bracketed-paste markers (ESC[200~ … ESC[201~) before the trailing submit CR/LF so the line editor inserts the multiline text literally and only the trailing byte submits it. The single-line fast path is unchanged. Gated on the target line editor having bracketed-paste mode active (Orca-wrapped bash/zsh) so shells without it never echo the markers as garbage; Orca's bash rc wrappers now force `enable-bracketed-paste on` (zsh has it on by default). Applied consistently across every startup-command delivery path: - src/main/providers/local-pty-shell-ready.ts (in-process / degraded local) - src/main/daemon/terminal-host.ts (daemon host — primary local) - src/relay/pty-handler.ts (SSH relay, remote host) - src/renderer/src/lib/ssh-background-startup-delivery.ts (hidden SSH tab) All share src/shared/startup-command-submission.ts. Windows cmd.exe and other shells keep the current CR submit path (no regression); PSReadLine/POSIX bash/zsh get the fix.
