Are you able to show the curl CLI from fc35?
Which public-inbox/lei version was it?

I'm actually curious fc35 worked at all, since the quoting would've
been broken, I think...

The %22 in fc36 is because your entire query is treated as one
element in argv and matches expected behavior.

Since '(' and ')' in the shell CLI is special, I suggest either:

a) using --stdin to enter queries containing '(' and ')'

b) quoting (or escaping) only the '(' and ')':

    '('tc:liuhangbin AND rt:6.month.ago..')' NOT ...

                or

    \(tc:liuhangbin AND rt:6.month.ago..\) NOT ...

  Which makes your argv something like:

    [ "(tc:liuhangbin", "AND", "rt:6.month.ago..)", "NOT", ... ]
