Warning: yabai output special characters break jq if not escaped

[ahttraga]

In my browser I have a focused tab whose title has a special character:

All skhd keyboard shortcuts which pipe to jq stop working when I focus this tab. If I change tabs or close it, the shortcuts start working again.

This is because jq fails processing if it encounters some special characters, such as in an application title, which are output in a yabai query:

jq: parse error: Invalid string: control characters from U+0000 through U+001F must be escaped at line 278

So either yabai should sanitize the output, OR we have to pipe the output to a sanitizer before sending it to jq. A nasty edge case. Maybe yabai could have a command line flag to escape control characters? I couldn't find a jq option to escape the input.
