[BUG] Windows: Custom exec keybindings pass malformed arguments to Neovim in v4.25.0

[daniel-leinweber]

Describe the bug

After upgrading gh-dash from v4.24.1 to v4.25.0, custom exec keybindings that launch Neovim no longer work on Windows.

The same configuration has been working in older versions. After the upgrade, gh-dash appears to pass an invalid path to Neovim. Neovim reports:

E303: Unable to open swap file for "C:\DEV\FruVaDEV"", recovery impossible

Notice the unexpected trailing double quote in the path.

Downgrading back to v4.24.1 immediately resolves the issue without any configuration changes.

---

To Reproduce

1. Install gh-dash v4.25.0 on Windows.

2. Configure a custom exec keybinding, for example:

   keybindings:
     prs:
       - key: e
         name: edit in nvim
         action: exec
         command: nvim -c ":cd {{.RepoPath}}" +":silent Octo pr edit {{.PrNumber}}"

3. Configure a valid repoPaths mapping.

4. Open any pull request or issue in gh dash.

5. Press the configured key (e).

---

Expected behavior

Neovim should start, change to the repository directory, and execute the configured command.

This works correctly with gh-dash v4.24.1.

---

Screenshots

Neovim displays:

E303: Unable to open swap file for "C:\DEV\FruVaDEV"", recovery impossible

The error disappears after downgrading to v4.24.1.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11
• Terminal Emulator: Windows Terminal
• Using tmux? No

The same issue.
And it is generating that I cannot run gum commands but they run in Powershell/"Windows Terminal" correctly.

An example of a custom command that it run but now it fails:

$label = gum choose (Get-Content -LiteralPath "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\gh-dash\labels.txt"); if ($label) { gh pr edit 725 --repo <my_repo> --remove-label "$label" }

And the system fails silently.
