vt_shell: command spans are character indices but sliced as bytes (plan.rs:185)

vp run <script> aborts with a slice panic before the script runs when the
script's command string contains a non-ASCII character. The Range<usize>
returned by try_parse_as_and_list counts characters, but every consumer
slices the command string by bytes, so the range can end in the middle of a
multi-byte character.

Reproduced with vp v0.3.0 (vite-task rev d05b1dc), macOS 26.6.2 arm64.
Filing here rather than on the vite-plus tracker the panic handler points at,
since the code lives in this repo — happy to move it if you prefer.

Panic

thread '<unnamed>' (28859855) panicked at crates/vt_plan/src/plan.rs:185:65:
end byte index 78 is not a char boundary; it is inside '置' (bytes 77..80 of string)

Reproduction

A package.json is the whole repro — no dependencies, no install:

{
  "name": "pm-probe",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    "whoami": "node -e \"console.log('agent =', process.env.npm_config_user_agent || '(未设置)')\""
  }
}

$ vp run whoami
thread '<unnamed>' panicked at crates/vt_plan/src/plan.rs:185:65:
end byte index 78 is not a char boundary; it is inside '置' (bytes 77..80 of string)

The command string is 78 characters but 84 bytes, and its last multi-byte
character 置 occupies bytes 77..80 — so the character-based end index 78 lands
inside it. Position matters, not merely the presence of non-ASCII: the same
script with the Chinese text earlier in the line happens to survive, because the
byte index it produces is still a valid boundary (it just slices the wrong text).

Root cause

crates/vt_shell/src/lib.rs:95:

fn pipeline_to_command(pipeline: &Pipeline) -> Option<(TaskParsedCommand, Range<usize>)> {
    let location = pipeline.location()?;
    let range = location.start.index..location.end.index;

brush_parser::tokenizer::SourcePosition::index is documented as

The 0-based index of the character in the input stream.

while every consumer of that range slices a &str, i.e. by byte:

• crates/vt_plan/src/plan.rs:185 — the panic site
• crates/vt_plan/src/plan.rs:266
• crates/vt_plan/src/plan.rs:281

(The same range is also stored through Context::push_stack_frame, though
nothing slices with it today.)

All three sites sit under the // Build execution display comment, so what
aborts the run is display bookkeeping, not the work itself.
