Subject: [PATCH] fix(ci): a bare '# shellcheck' comment is parsed as a
 directive
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Line 351's comment was literally '# shellcheck'. Comments beginning '# shellcheck' are DIRECTIVES, so this was read as a malformed one and the file failed to parse. Reworded to '# ShellCheck linting'.

Found by an estate-wide shellcheck sweep of 5,111 tracked scripts across 375
repos. This file was one of 11 that fail to PARSE (SC1073/SC1072) — shellcheck
stops analysing at the failure, so anything after it was never checked either.

Verified: shellcheck -S error now reports 0 findings for this file.
