Yes, we agree that they should simply vanish. We are talking about the details of when they should vanish. Actually, the current behavior of the devel branch fails to properly remove \x01 and \x02 embedded in a command substitution, such as `$(prompt-framework git-status)'. In fact, prompt frameworks such as Starship embed \x01 and \x02 in their output to change colors and styles in the middle of their output. To remove \x01 and \x02 properly, they should be removed at the very last step, as we are requesting in the present thread.
Are you saying that bash should remove 0x01 and 0x02 anywhere they appear in a prompt string, even if they are not added behind the scenes as part of processing \[ and \] before passing the prompt to readline? Why would it do that?
We are talking about the detailed behavior of `what it should be doing'. Both removing \[\] from the beginning and removing \x01\0x02 at the final step satisfy what you seem to request. You haven't explained why they should be removed before the `promptvars' processing instead of after `promptvars'.
There is no `removing'. They are simply not added if bash can't tell that the prompt will be passed to readline.
pre-`promptvars' removal in the current devel branch, but it actually only removes the embedded markers halfway. To remove those markers, including the ones emitted by command substitutions of a prompt framework, one needs to remove them after `promptvars' instead of pre-`promptvars' removal.
Same question as above.
