The multiline script fails to be uploaded to server (Windows)

[byme8]

I have the following playbook:

user: adminuser                       # default ssh user. Can be overridden by -u flag or by inventory or host definition
ssh_key: ~/.ssh/id_rsa               # ssh key
ssh_shell: /bin/bash                # shell to use for remote ssh execution, default is /bin/sh
inventory: ./css_server_setup.invertory.yml  # default inventory file. Can be overridden by --inventory flag

tasks:
  - name: copy server configs to remote server
    commands:
      - name: Update the APT package cache
        script: sudo apt-get update

      - name: Install required dependencies
        script: sudo apt-get install -y nginx wget

      - name: Install 32-bit libraries
        script: sudo apt-get install -y gcc-multilib lib32stdc++6 lib32gcc-s1

      - name: Download, extract, give premissions SteamCMD
        script: |
          mkdir -p ~/steamcmd
          wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz -O ~/steamcmd/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
          tar -xvzf ~/steamcmd/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz -C ~/steamcmd
          chmod +x ~/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh
        condition: ! test -d ~/steamcmd

It fails with the next logs:

[css_server 13.80.253.217:22] run task "copy server configs to remote server", commands: 15
[css_server 13.80.253.217:22] completed command "Update the APT package cache" {script: /bin/sh -c 'sudo apt-get update'} (1.621s)

If I rewrite the command into multiple stages:

      - name: Download, extract, give premissions SteamCMD
        script: mkdir -p ~/steamcmd
        condition: ! test -d ~/steamcmd
        
      - name: Download, extract, give premissions SteamCMD
        script: wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz -O ~/steamcmd/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
        condition: ! test -d ~/steamcmd
        
      - name: Download, extract, give premissions SteamCMD
        script: tar -xvzf ~/steamcmd/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz -C ~/steamcmd
        condition: ! test -d ~/steamcmd
        
      - name: Download, extract, give premissions SteamCMD
        script: chmod +x ~/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh
        condition: ! test -d ~/steamcmd

it starts to work fine.

I suppose it is some weird interaction between the spot, golang on windows machine and the target linux machine because on the target machine in ~/ folder, I can see the following:

adminuser@vm:~$ ls
 Steam  '\tmp\.spot-1115342305558551936'  '\tmp\.spot-2664757902190471168'  '\tmp\.spot-6584203395433061376'  '\tmp\.spot-8180703307877217280'   css_server   steamcmd

Something like that, when the folder names are concatenated together, I saw when working on another project on Linux and creating folders with long names like that '/tmp/random stuff/another random stuff' in one attempt. I suppose the solution would be to use some "official way" to create temp folders in golang or create multiple folders in steps.

Later on, I may have a look at the source code of the spot to figure out the issue myself.
