#2382 Fix dependency artifact pattern for branch names with glob-special characters

Fixed a bug where dependency artifact downloads failed silently when branch names contained special characters that minimatch interprets, such as commas, braces, or parentheses.

What changed

  • Branch names with special characters (comma, braces, parentheses, exclamation, plus, at, hash, bracket) were incorrectly interpreted by minimatch glob patterns
  • These characters caused artifact download to match zero artifacts and silently fall back to main branch artifacts
  • Special characters in branch names are now backslash-escaped in the minimatch pattern to be treated literally
  • Artifact upload, baseline lookup, and release lookup are unaffected by this change
  • Tests added to prevent regression
  • Behaviour changes for users or extensions.
