🎯 What: The Gosec G204 vulnerability indicating potential command injection by running user-supplied variables directly via a system shell.
⚠️ Risk: Left unfixed, automated security scanners raise this as a medium-severity issue. However, because the input is drawn directly from the user's local configuration file, it is considered trusted.
🛡️ Solution: Rather than removing the system shell (which would break critical shell-specific features like pipes and redirects that users rely on for provider configurations), this PR formally acknowledges and suppresses the false positive by adding an inline /* #nosec G204 */ annotation with a clear justification.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Added security-analysis annotations for provider command execution.
    • Command behavior remains unchanged, including support for pipes and environment variable expansion.

Addresses a Gosec G204 (Command Injection) warning where provider command strings were passed directly into `sh -c` and `cmd /C`. Since these commands originate from the user's trusted local config and explicitly require shell features (like pipes and variable expansions) to function, removing the shell invocation introduces a breaking change. This adds a documented `#nosec` annotation to suppress the false positive instead of degrading functionality.
