[Eduard van Valkenburg (eavanvalkenburg)]

Motivation & Context

Three small repository helpers have compatibility or Markdown-rendering behavior that does not match their existing contracts: the dependency wrapper rejects its hidden legacy --project selector, Markdown --no-glob mode still interprets metacharacters, and integration trend tables split parameterized test names containing pipes into extra columns.

This consolidates the useful behavior from three now-closed PRs into one deliberately minimal replacement, without adding a test harness or expanding workflow collection.

Description & Review Guide

• What are the major changes? Validate the shared dependency selector destination after argument parsing so either -P/--package or the hidden --project alias satisfies it; escape literal Markdown paths before passing them to glob.glob in --no-glob mode; escape pipes only in displayed short test names when building integration trend Markdown tables.
• What is the impact of these changes? Existing compatibility and rendering behavior is restored without changing ordinary glob expansion, dependency resolution/delegation, report history keys, workflow files, or test infrastructure.
• What do you want reviewers to focus on? The patch is limited to 4 insertions and 3 deletions across the three existing helpers. Focused direct regression cases and unchanged controls passed. Targeted pinned Ruff lint passed with ruff check --no-fix --select E4,E7,E9,F,I, range-format checks passed for each edited region, and git diff --check passed. Validation is intentionally lightweight because these scripts are excluded from the workspace-wide Ruff surface and have no existing appropriate regression modules.

N/A - trivial change. These are narrow corrections to existing helper contracts whose desired behavior is already explicit. This consolidated replacement supersedes #9674, #9691, and #9692 while intentionally keeping implementation and validation lightweight. No competing open PR was found.

This PR consolidates three small fixes to existing Python repository helpers, restoring compatibility and Markdown behavior without changing workflows or test infrastructure.

Changes:

• Allow the hidden --project alias to satisfy the required dependency package selector.
• Treat Markdown paths literally in --no-glob mode.
• Escape pipes in displayed test names while preserving report identifiers and history data.

Overview

The PR narrowly restores three helper contracts: literal Markdown paths no longer expand metacharacters, the hidden dependency selector alias reaches the shared destination, and displayed test names escape table delimiters without changing persisted result keys. Existing validation and resolution guards constrain the changes, and no Critical, High, or Medium defect was established.
