Subject: [PATCH] fix(lib.sh): the herdr name of a non-ASCII or option-like
 name equals Python's (Issue #71)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

tr/sed lowercase differently from str.lower() outside ASCII, so a name
like "İstanbul-creator-claude" was started as x--stanbul-... while the
row's attach_command named i-stanbul-.... A non-ASCII name is now
lowercased and replaced by python3 (fail closed without it), and the
name is read with printf, not echo ("-n" no longer vanishes).

Refs #71
