Bug: When trying to start node with debug logging it fails at the passphrase.

Trying to debug the following command:

rad seed rad:z4V1sjrXqjvFdnCUbxPFqd5p4DtH5

In a new terminal:

rad node stop ; rad node start --foreground -- --log debug | tee -a node.log
✓ Node stopped
✗ Error: your radicle passphrase is required to start your node

Adding node passphrase as a startup argument is not successful, even though the passphrase is valid and works on manual startup:

rad node stop ; RAD_PASSPHRASE="<redacted-passphrase-here-remember-to-clear-history>" rad node start --foreground -- --log debug | tee -a node.log
✓ Node stopped

To stay in sync with the network, leave the node running in the background.

Following variations of quoting have been tried to escape potential special characters in the passphrase. All with the same result as above.

rad node stop ; RAD_PASSPHRASE=$'<redacted-passphrase-here-remember-to-clear-history>' rad node start --foreground -- --log debug | tee -a node.log

rad node stop ; RAD_PASSPHRASE='<redacted-passphrase-here-remember-to-clear-history>' rad node start --foreground -- --log debug | tee -a node.log

rad node stop ; RAD_PASSPHRASE=$"<redacted-passphrase-here-remember-to-clear-history>" rad node start --foreground -- --log debug | tee -a node.log

rad node stop ; RAD_PASSPHRASE="<redacted-passphrase-here-remember-to-clear-history>" rad node start --foreground -- --log debug | tee -a node.log

Reproducing the logging method on another node with another generated passphrase revealed further escaping issues:

rad node stop ; RAD_PASSPHRASE=$'<redacted-passphrase-here-remember-to-clear-history>' rad node start --foreground -- --log debug | tee -a node.log
bash: !,': event not found
rad node stop ; RAD_PASSPHRASE="<redacted-passphrase-here-remember-to-clear-history>" rad node start --foreground -- --log debug | tee -a node.log
bash: !t9<redacted>: event not found

Note the differing locations within the passphrase that cause the command to fail.
