Description
However, prints when escaped or put within "..":
Minimal repro dockerfile:
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:ltsc2022
RUN echo C:\hello\world\path
RUN echo C:\\hello\\escaped\\path
RUN echo "C:\hello\quoted\path"
Result:
#5 [2/4] RUN echo C:helloworldpath
#5 1.359 C:\hello\world\path
#5 DONE 1.7s
#6 [3/4] RUN echo C:\hello\escaped\path
#6 1.734 C:\\hello\\escaped\\path
#6 DONE 2.1s
#7 [4/4] RUN echo "C:\hello\quoted\path"
#7 1.765 "C:\hello\quoted\path"
#7 DONE 2.1s
With classic docker build:

Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Start by tracing BuildKit's progress-stream handling for Dockerfile RUN commands and compare it with the classic docker build output using the provided Windows Dockerfile. Done means unescaped backslashes remain visible in progress output, while escaped and quoted cases retain their current behavior.
