Compile/Upload Fails with Paths Containing Spaces

[10xdev4u-alt]

Critical Bug:

Problem Description:

The $sketch_file variable is passed unquoted to arduino-cli compile and arduino-cli upload commands within the aci_project/bin/aci.sh script. In shell scripting, unquoted variables with spaces undergo "word splitting," causing the command to misinterpret the single path as multiple arguments.

Impact:

• Compilation and upload operations fail if the sketch file or any parent directory in its path includes spaces.
• Leads to immediate frustration and a broken workflow for users in common environments.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a new directory with a space in its name (e.g., ~/Arduino Projects/).
2. Create a new sketch inside this directory (e.g., ~/Arduino Projects/MyBlink/MyBlink.ino).
3. Use aci_project/bin/aci.sh to select this sketch.
4. Attempt to "Compile Code" or "Upload Code".
5. Expected: The sketch compiles/uploads successfully.
6. Actual: The arduino-cli command fails with errors related to file not found or invalid arguments because the path is incorrectly parsed.
