Research direction
Start with test_cp15514 in Tests/modules/system_related/test_nt.py and run the reproducer on Windows to observe nt.spawnv's handling of the quoted command. Trace the spawnv implementation from that test and verify that the command executes with the intended quoting and output, then make the test pass.
