fix(desktop): keep preset gating from throwing on unparseable commands - #9632
The v2 workspace page falls to its error screen when any terminal preset command contains shell that shell-quote cannot tokenize, for example an unclosed ${. The page stays broken while that preset exists.
Root cause
commandPrograms in renderer/lib/agent-launch-command.ts calls shell-quote's parse on free-form preset text to find which agent binary a preset runs (feature-flag gating). parse throws Bad substitution on an unterminated or empty ${...} (shell-quote/parse.js, parseEnvVar). The call runs inside a useMemo in useV2PresetExecution via isLinkedPresetLaunchable → runsGatedAgent, so the throw escapes into render. The same helper backs isTerminalPresetEnabled in the v1 workspace view, presets bar and tab menus.
Fix
Tokenize through a small wrapper that returns no tokens when parse throws. A command we cannot read names no program we can match, so it is not gated; the user's shell reports the syntax error when the preset runs, as it did before gating existed.
Verification
Probe (not committed): runsGatedAgent(["echo ${"], …) and ["echo ${}"] — throws on origin/main, returns false with the fix.

Summary by cubic
Stops terminal preset gating from crashing the v2 workspace page when a preset command contains shell that shell-quote cannot tokenize, like an unclosed ${. The page no longer falls to its error screen; unparseable commands are treated as naming no program, so gating skips them and the user's shell reports the syntax error when the preset runs, as before gating existed.
Written for commit a4fb3ae. Summary will update on new commits.

Bug Fixes
Invalid command syntax no longer causes program detection to fail with an error.
shell-quote throws on shell it cannot tokenize, such as an unclosed ${.
commandPrograms ran it during render of the workspace page, so one such
terminal preset sent the page to its error screen. Treat an unparseable
command as naming no program; the shell reports the error on launch.
Refs DESKTOP-1VC
Command tokenization now catches errors from shell-quote.parse. When parsing fails, program detection receives an empty token list instead of propagating the error.
ParadevAI/Paradev#9605: Both changes update command handling around shell-quote parsing.

This fixes the workspace page error for presets with unparseable shell syntax. A custom preset with unusual but valid shell syntax can still launch a feature-flagged agent when its flag is off. A regression test for the parse failure is also missing. Both are bounded follow-ups.

Preserve gating for valid commands that the parser rejects.
shell-quote throws on valid shell syntax such as pdev ${FOO:-one two}. The empty fallback hides pdev from runsGatedAgent, so a custom preset can launch it when its feature flag is off. Preserve detection of gated programs on parse failure without blocking unrelated malformed commands.

Closing: the review gate rejected this. Treating an unparseable preset command as running no program opens the agent feature-flag gate for commands the shell still runs in part (for example pdev; echo ${} in zsh). The crash is real; the right policy for unparseable presets (fail closed on a gated-binary match, or reject such commands on save) needs a human decision. Refs DESKTOP-1VC
