The attached patch (against devscripts master) fixes this bug: the 'command' option check no longer treats a bare "--" as an option token. Only the exact end-of-options marker is exempted; bad options still fire, before or after it (e.g. "command -p -a test", "command -a -- foo").
Two regression lines are added to test/bashisms/command.sh: "command -v -- test" and "command -- test" now stay silent. Verified: the full test/test_checkbashisms suite passes with the patch; the added lines fail without it. Disclosure, encouraged by Debian GR 2026-002: this patch was prepared with AI assistance; it was verified by me against the reproducers and the devscripts test suite.
