Identified and fixed security vulnerabilities in copyables/entrypoint.sh related to shell variable expansion.

Vulnerabilities Fixed:

  1. Weak Passwords: Passwords containing spaces (e.g., "secret phrase") were truncated (to "secret") because they were passed as unquoted arguments to the adduser function.
  2. Command Injection/Globbing: The VPNCMD_SERVER and VPNCMD_HUB processing used unquoted variable expansion that was vulnerable to file globbing (e.g., * expanding to filenames).
  3. Broken Functionality: The loop for processing multiple VPNCMD_* commands was broken, executing only the first command and ignoring the rest.

Changes:

  • Quoted variables in adduser calls.
  • Refactored VPNCMD_* loops to iterate correctly over arrays.
  • Used set -f to safely disable globbing during command execution.
  • Added a regression test script tests/verify_password_fix.sh.
  • Added security journal entry in .jules/sentinel.md.

This commit addresses several security and functional issues in `copyables/entrypoint.sh`:
-   **Password Truncation:** Quoted `$username` and `$password` variables when calling `adduser`. Previously, passwords with spaces were truncated due to shell word splitting.
-   **Command Injection/Globbing:** Added `set -f` (disable globbing) around dynamic command execution for `VPNCMD_SERVER` and `VPNCMD_HUB`. This prevents accidental or malicious file path expansion if arguments contain glob characters like `*`.
-   **Command Loop Fix:** Fixed logic that silently ignored multiple semicolon-separated commands in `VPNCMD_*` variables. Now correctly iterates over the array to execute all provided commands.

Added `tests/verify_password_fix.sh` to verify these fixes and prevent regression.
Added `.jules/sentinel.md` to document the security learning.
