534-534: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winWrap unquoted shell variables to prevent word-splitting and globbing.
The variables
$file,$image_disk, and$log_outputlack double-quotes on line 534. While their expected values (filenames, device paths, log paths) are typically single tokens, unquoted variables create word-splitting and globbing vulnerabilities if these values ever contain spaces, glob characters, or special shell metacharacters. This violation of shell quoting discipline is flagged by ShellCheck (SC2086).🔧 Proposed fix with properly quoted variables
- qemu-img convert -p -O raw -S 0 $file $image_disk 2>&1 | tee $log_output + qemu-img convert -p -O raw -S 0 "$file" "$image_disk" 2>&1 | tee "$log_output"🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Description
Ensure OS image conversion writes zero-filled and unallocated source regions to the destination boot disk. Without
-S 0, sparse conversion can leave stale filesystem or volume metadata behind when reprovisioning a previously used disk.1s1s then a 9GB sparse region of0s-S 0flag will not overwrite the 2nd GB of1s with zeros as expected; the disk will still contain 2GB of1s.Related issues

Testing
Validated with:
git diff --check nvidia-upstream/main...personal-upstream/codex/pxe-overwrite-sparse-imagesbash -n pxe/common_files/disk_imaging.shAdditional Notes
qemu-img convert -S 0disables sparse-region detection so zero-filled regions represented by the source image are explicitly written. This is not a secure wipe of any destination capacity beyond the source image's virtual size.
