NITRO_SSL_CERT/KEY path value leading to "no start line" errors

I'm using Nitropack v2.12.4 and I've had to augment the built code in order for my SSL certs to work

I had been getting "no start line" errors for 2 days or so. I knew my cert and key were valid, but for some reason, no matter what I changed, nitro refused to serve my project via https mode.

So finally I decided to change the nitro source code in order to try and see where the issue was.

I placed the paths in my .env file like so:

NITRO_SSL_CERT="/path/to/certs/cert.pem"
NITRO_SSL_KEY="/path/to/certs/key.pem"

Nitro got the ssl paths but still I got the same error.

I had to change:

to this:

And this ended up working.

Now my question is, is this a bug?

Start by reproducing HTTPS startup with NITRO_SSL_CERT and NITRO_SSL_KEY set to quoted paths, then inspect the SSL configuration path handling described in the issue. Done means valid certificate and key paths from the environment work without changing Nitro's built source and no "no start line" error occurs.
