Fixed in 6606367. The message now interpolates the expansion's source text, so ${arr[@]} and ${x:-default} are quoted back exactly as written (and $var is no longer rewritten to ${var}). Lines 50 and 83 are the same single report call, so the one change covers them. Added cases asserting the message data for subscripted and operator forms.

POSIX shell Bash mksh redirection word parameter expansion field splitting authoritative documentation
💡 Result:
Authoritative references:
- **POSIX.1-2024, Shell Command Language §2.7 “Redirection”**: the standard specifies expansion of redirection operands. In a **non-interactive shell**, pathname expansion is not performed; an interactive shell may perform it only if it produces one word. POSIX also specifies the relevant field-splitting and expansion rules. ([pubs.opengroup.org](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html?utm_source=openai))
- **Bash Reference Manual, §3.6 “Redirections”**: Bash applies brace, tilde, parameter/variable, command, and arithmetic expansion, quote removal, filename expansion, and word splitting to a redirection word; if it yields more than one word, Bash reports an error. ([gnu.org](https://www.gnu.org/s/bash/manual/html_node/Redirections.html?utm_source=openai))
- **mksh(1)**: the available mksh manual describes its shell expansion and redirection behavior, but the result found here is a third-party Linux man-page mirror, not the upstream MirBSD documentation. Treat it as a useful reference, not the strongest authoritative citation. ([linux.die.net](https://linux.die.net/man/1/mksh?utm_source=openai))
**Bottom line:** Don’t assume Bash’s redirection-word splitting/globbing behavior is portable to POSIX shell. POSIX explicitly differs for pathname expansion in non-interactive shells; for exact mksh behavior, consult the manual for the specific mksh version you use.

site:pubs.opengroup.org POSIX redirection operand field splitting word splitting redirection word shall be subjected
💡 Result:
POSIX says the redirection operand **is expanded**, but that does not mean it undergoes field splitting. For example, the current POSIX text says input redirection opens the file named by the expansion of `word`; the separate field-splitting step is specified for command words, not redirection operands. ([pubs.opengroup.org](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html?utm_source=openai))
So the phrase “the redirection word shall be subjected to field splitting” is **not established by the cited POSIX text**. The closest relevant source is the POSIX Shell Command Language section on redirection and word expansions. ([pubs.opengroup.org](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html?utm_source=openai))

Restrict redirect diagnostics by shell dialect.
cat > $file reaches the Redirect listener in shell/posix. POSIX sh redirection operands are not field-split, so this diagnostic and its quoting fix are false positives there.
The plugin’s posix language represents POSIX sh, not Bash POSIX mode. Do not remove the check for every dialect: non-POSIX Bash can report an ambiguous redirect for a multiword unquoted expansion. Make the listener mode-specific, or exclude it only for dialects with POSIX redirection semantics.

The message rebuilt every parameter as ${name}, dropping subscripts and
operators. It now interpolates the expansion's source text.
