Permission rule validation, such as for Bash(...) allow/deny rules, now catches rules where a backslash before a parenthesis is ambiguous, a pattern common in Windows paths, and returns a dedicated error instead of silently misparsing the rule. The error suggests using forward slashes or doubling backslashes and escaping parentheses.
