Research direction
Start with the shlex.quote entry point and reproduce the reported behavior using a glob pattern, checking how the quoted result is consumed. Read the existing shlex-related tests and determine the intended interaction between shell quoting and glob matching. Done means the behavior is specified, covered by regression tests, and the affected Python versions behave consistently.
