Fix SyntaxWarning in cli.py replicate command

Goal

Eliminate the SyntaxWarning that appears on every CLI invocation due to invalid escape sequence \$ in the cmd_replicate function's bash heredoc string.

Acceptance Criteria

☑ Fix invalid escape sequence in cli.py
☑ Verify no SyntaxWarning when running scidex status
☑ Confirm syntax validation passes
☑ Commit and push changes

Approach

  • Identify the source of the SyntaxWarning in cli.py
  • Change the f-string to a raw f-string (rf""") to properly handle bash heredoc with escaped dollar signs
  • Verify the fix with py_compile
  • Test with scidex status command
  • Commit and push
  • Work Log

    Investigation:

    • Found SyntaxWarning in cli.py:396 for invalid escape sequence \$
    • Located issue in cmd_replicate() function at line 356
    • The bash heredoc contains nginx configuration with \$uri which Python interprets as an invalid escape sequence
    Implementation:
    • Changed line 356 from bundle_script = f""" to bundle_script = rf"""
    • Raw f-string (rf) prevents Python from interpreting backslash escapes while still allowing variable interpolation
    Verification:
    • Committed: "Changed f-string to raw f-string (rf""") to properly handle bash heredoc with escaped dollar signs"
    • Pushed to branch orchestra/task/e87a14ab-dd95-4adb-9f4d-71a673f3eef0
    Result: Complete. SyntaxWarning eliminated from worktree. Change ready for merge to main branch by supervisor.
