fix(parse-sdk-options): prevent shell-quote from collapsing unquoted Bash(X:*) rules to bare Bash (#1350)

* fix(parse-sdk-options): prevent shell-quote from collapsing unquoted Bash(X:*) rules to bare Bash

shell-quote's parse() tokenizes unquoted `(`, `)` as control operators
and barewords containing `*` as glob ops, all returned as non-string
objects. parseClaudeArgsToExtraArgs filtered those out, so an unquoted
`--allowedTools View,Bash(gh:*),Bash(cat:*)` collapsed to bare `Bash` —
silently widening scoped permission rules to unrestricted Bash(*).

Escape shell control metachars to Unicode private-use placeholders
before parse() and restore after; extract .pattern from glob ops.
Preserves existing quote/whitespace handling.
