Research direction

Reproduce the reported command using the lint command with a quoted resource glob, then compare its behavior with the run command, which handles the same pattern successfully. Trace how the lint command processes its --resources values and verify completion by confirming matching resource files are loaded instead of treating the glob literally.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bughancement cli needs investigation

I can read in the help that I can use glob patterns on resources when using the lint command:

NAME:
   redpanda-connect lint - Parse Redpanda Connect configs and report any linting errors

USAGE:
   redpanda-connect lint [command options]

DESCRIPTION:
   Exits with a status code 1 if any linting errors are detected:

     redpanda-connect lint ./configs/*.yaml
     redpanda-connect lint ./foo.yaml ./bar.yaml
     redpanda-connect lint ./configs/...

   If a path ends with '...' then Redpanda Connect will walk the target and lint any
   files with the .yaml or .yml extension.

OPTIONS:
   --deprecated                                                 Print linting errors for the presence of deprecated fields. (default: false)
   --labels                                                     Print linting errors when components do not have labels. (default: false)
   --skip-env-var-check                                         Do not produce lint errors when environment interpolations exist without defaults within configs but aren't defined. (default: false)
   --resources value, -r value [ --resources value, -r value ]  pull in extra resources from a file, which can be referenced the same as resources defined in the main config, supports glob patterns (requires quotes)

but in reality it does not work, if I try in one of my projects:

$ docker run --net host --env-file ${ENV} -v ./config:/c -v ./resources:/r -v ./templates:/t ${IMAGE} lint --skip-env-var-check -r "/r/resource.yaml" -t "/t/*.yaml" /c/config.yaml

/r/*.yaml(1,1) open /r/*.yaml: no such file or directory

but it runs fine with the run command
