Unable to get correct syntax for -a param when command has a space - ie "state list"

ie if i pass
- 'state list'

it just shows state in the output and shows a usage message

tried "'state list'" and get

tf_action : ''state'

am calling from a github action workflow / job / step as per below

single word actions - like plan , validate work fine with same confired

name: Rover State List
env:
ARM_CLIENT_ID: ${{ steps.GetCredentials.outputs.client_id }}
ARM_CLIENT_SECRET: ${{ steps.GetCredentials.outputs.client_secret }}

echo "github_workspace : $GITHUB_WORKSPACE"
echo "CONFIG_PATH: ${{env.CONFIG_PATH }}"
if [ ${{ inputs.apply }} == "false" ]; then
echo "Running Rover Plan..."

Start with the GitHub Actions workflow shown in the issue and reproduce the spaced action passed to /tf/rover/rover.sh using -a. Read how rover.sh parses the -a argument and compare it with the working single-word actions; done means a command such as state show azurerm_network_security_group.nsg_obj is accepted without truncation or a usage message.
