Are you sure?  I don't think so.  Remember, \ is not special inside
'...' quoting.

Here's some of the top part of your attachment for reference:

name='main' sshstart='y=~/$y
touch /tmp/foo
[[ -d $y ]] || mkdir -p "$y"
cd "$y" || exec printf \'\''err cd transit\n\'\''

Now... where is the closing single quote?

More importantly, where is it *supposed* to be?  I cannot guess.  This
is all incomprehensible gibberish.  All I can say is that it looks wrong.
