-# Passing commands as positional arguments ($*) is fragile when the command
-# string itself contains double quotes, e.g.:
-#
-#   bash run-amd-test.sh "export FLAGS="value" && pytest -m "not slow""
-#
-# The outer shell resolves the nested quotes *before* this script runs, so
-# the script receives mangled input it cannot fully recover.
-#
-# Preferred: pass commands via the VLLM_TEST_COMMANDS environment variable:
-#
-#   export VLLM_TEST_COMMANDS='export FLAGS="value" && pytest -m "not slow"'
-#   bash run-amd-test.sh
-#
-# Single-quoted assignment preserves all inner double quotes verbatim.
-# The $* path is kept for backward compatibility but callers should migrate.

-# When commands are passed through Buildkite -> shell -> $* -> bash -c,

-# becomes:

-#
-# pytest then interprets "cpu_test" as a file path, not part of the marker.
-#
-# This function detects unquoted expressions after -m/-k and re-quotes them
-# by collecting tokens until a recognizable boundary is reached:
-#   - test path (contains '/')

-# Single-word markers (e.g. -m cpu_test, -m hybrid_model) pass through
-# unquoted since they have no spaces and work fine.

-# Already-quoted expressions (containing literal single quotes) are passed
-# through untouched to avoid double-quoting values injected by
