Description
The vouch wrapper installed by action/setup-vouch cannot pass arguments that contain spaces (or other special chars) to nushell. Any multi-word argument is broken before it reaches the nushell command.
I tried to workaround the manage-by-issue action to add a custom commit message, but got an error. To reproduce this issue, you can find my test workflow here: https://github.com/meteyou/vouch-system-test/blob/2ad01e7a72b6723ce8e258c2009a0d6a85e68a03/.github/workflows/vouch-manage-by-issue.yml#L25-L40
and here you can find the failed run: https://github.com/meteyou/vouch-system-test/actions/runs/28329531587/job/83925189414

Research direction
Start with the vouch wrapper installed by action/setup-vouch and reproduce the failure using the linked workflow, especially its custom commit message argument. Trace how arguments are quoted before reaching the nushell command; done means arguments containing spaces or special characters arrive intact and the linked workflow succeeds.
