Cannot use --project in cliArguments if the project name contains spaces

[cyyynthia]

Describe the bug

Trying to do --project=\"browser (chromium)\" does not work and makes the extension fail to collect tests.

Reproduction

• Configure Vitest with a workspace, one of the projects being browser mode using Playwright (see attached config fragments)
• Set "vitest.cliArguments": "--project=\"browser (chromium)\"" in VSCode config
• Try to refresh tests

export default {
  coverage: {
    provider: 'v8',
    reporter: ['cobertura', 'text'],
    reportsDirectory: './.reports/vitest/coverage',
    exclude: [...coverageConfigDefaults.exclude, '**/*.story.vue'],
  },
  workspace: [
    {
      extends: true,
      test: {
        name: 'unit',
        include: [
          'src/**/*.{test,spec}.?(c|m)[jt]s?(x)',
          'src/**/*.unit.{test,spec}.?(c|m)[jt]s?(x)',
        ],
        exclude: [...defaultExclude, 'src/**/*.browser.{test,spec}.?(c|m)[jt]s?(x)'],
      },
    },
    {
      extends: true,
      optimizeDeps: {
        include: ['vue', 'radix-vue', 'radix-vue/date'],
      },
      test: {
        name: 'browser',
        include: ['src/**/*.browser.{test,spec}.?(c|m)[jt]s?(x)'],
        browser: {
          enabled: true,
          provider: 'playwright',
          testerHtmlPath: './browser-test.html',
          instances: [
            { browser: 'chromium', context: { locale: 'en-US' } },
            { browser: 'firefox', context: { locale: 'en-US' } },
            { browser: 'webkit', context: { locale: 'en-US' } },
          ],

          screenshotFailures: true,
          screenshotDirectory: '.reports/vitest/screenshots',
        },
      },
    },
  ],
}

Workaround

I have been able to work around this by doing --project=*chromium)

Extension Version

1.14.1

Vitest Version

3.0.5

This is an error with Vitest's parseCLI method, I will move this issue to the Vitest repo

Should probably use something like https://www.npmjs.com/package/string-argv instead of splitting by .
