Summary

Restore dedalus machines exec --machine-id <id> -- <command> [args...] and the optional create verb. Literal remote arguments preserve spaces, empty values, flags, and @file text without reading local files. Combining argv with --command, omitting the separator, or using an empty executable fails before making an API request.

The existing machines:executions commands remain available; machines executions and both exec spellings share their API handlers, authentication, and output behavior. Execution management commands and JSON --command input continue working.

Validation

• npm run build and npm run typecheck passed.

• node --test tests/*.test.mjs: 42 tests passed, including 3 new HTTP-boundary tests covering resource spellings, implicit/explicit create, literal argv, rejected input, and existing commands.

• Added the new tests to the default test script and installed-package verifier.

• pnpm run test:package: clean tarball installation passed all 29 selected tests, including execution HTTP-boundary checks.

The custom registration calls a small literal-value guard in the generated runtime. Hosted regeneration and live machine execution have not been verified.
