Description
I have a variable in Jenkins containing a pipe '|' which does not get sent to AWS. I have tried single and double escapes, but it makes no difference.
JMeter shows the pipe and escapes:
AWS does not see them:

Research direction
The report identifies Jenkins environment-variable overrides and AWS CodeBuild as the affected path, but names no source file or test. First reproduce the Jenkins-to-AWS transfer with a value containing `|`, then trace where the override is parsed or escaped. Done means the pipe reaches AWS intact and the behavior is covered by a regression check.
