Closing as superseded by the independently implemented Windows daemon fix merged in #632 (merge commit 94da74e).\n\nExact overlap:\n- PR #581 escapes backslashes, double quotes, and U+0000–U+001F control characters before writing daemon TOML.\n- Current main now applies the same required TOML escaping to session_name, log_dir, repo path, and alias.\n- The merged implementation is slightly stricter: it also escapes U+007F, which TOML forbids unescaped.\n- Current regression tests parse Windows backslash paths and quoted values through tomllib, and the dedicated Windows CI job passed after merge.\n\nBecause the production fix was implemented independently through #632, no code from #581 was copied and I am not claiming contributor attribution for the merged implementation. The reported bug itself is resolved on main, so there is no remaining change to merge from this branch.
