Argument boundaries

Arguments supplied to an alias are passed through without reconstructing them as a shell-joined string. Keep each intended argument quoted at the calling shell; quoted whitespace and special characters remain part of that argument. Explicit shell aliases still execute shell code and require review before use.

Quick start

glab alias --help
glab alias list

glab alias list wraps long rows instead of truncating expansions at a fixed column width, so the complete stored command remains visible. Treat shell aliases as executable code and review the full expansion before running an unfamiliar alias.
