**Problem**
When you pass -sbt-dir "/Users/a' dog" on the command line, the launcher correctly produces:
-Dsbt.global.base=/Users/a' dog
But when you put the same option into .sbtopts, the launcher previously split the line on spaces without respecting quotes, so the resulting -Dsbt.global.base was truncated (for example, -Dsbt.global.base=/Users/a'). This made .sbtopts behavior inconsistent with CLI behavior and broke setups where the global sbt directory path contains spaces and an embedded quote.
Avoid launching sbt just to render --version by reading sbt.version directly from project/build.properties in the shell script, batch script, and sbtw wrapper. Tighten launcher integration assertions to verify version output no longer depends on the sbtVersion command output.
**Problem**
1. It's difficult to find out when Process fails.
2. global.base setting isn't needed in sbt runner script.
**Solution**
1. Forward to stderr as it happens.
2. Remove global.base setting in the runner script.
**Problem**
After PR #8730 (commit 921efce), inline comments in .jvmopts and .sbtopts files cause errors.
For example, `--add-opens=java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED # comment` results in:
Error: Could not find or load main class #
The # and everything after it is now parsed as separate arguments instead of being stripped as a comment.
**Solution**
Update the sed command in outputConfigFileTokens() to strip inline comments (everything from # to end of line) before parsing tokens.
The new s/\s*\#.*// pattern matches optional whitespace + # + rest of line and removes it.

**Problem**
The sbt launcher script used naive word splitting when parsing `.sbtopts` and `.jvmopts`, so arguments with spaces were split incorrectly. For example, `-J--add-modules jdk.incubator.concurrent` in `.sbtopts` and `-Dtest.key="value with spaces"` in `.jvmopts` were not passed to the JVM as intended.
**Problem**
`sbt --version` in sbt 2.x project directories was delegated to the native client, which could try to start/connect to a server instead of printing version info.
**Solution**
Skip native-client delegation when `--version` is requested, and add runner-script tests for sbt 1.x and 2.x project variants.
When in an sbt 2.x project directory, the script used to delegate to sbtn
before checking --script-version, so 'sbt --script-version' ran sbtn and
failed. Now we print the script version and exit before the native client
branch.
According to the issue, `.sbtopts` entries are appended after
CLI args in sbt 1.12.x, so `.sbtopts` JVM memory settings (e.g., `-Xmx2g`) override CLI `--mem`,
causing invalid JVM settings.
- Replace 'eval echo $line' with 'printf "%s\n" "$line"' in loadConfigFile()
- Prevents shell expansion of special characters like |, *, &, etc.
- Fixes issue where properties with pipes, wildcards, and ampersands
caused 'command not found' or 'unexpected' errors
- Add test to verify special characters are handled correctly on all platforms
