What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply updates the version of a code-quality tool called ShellCheck used in Bitcoin Core's automated checks, from version 0.8.0 to version 0.11.0. It does not change any code that runs the Bitcoin network software itself, nor does it fix or introduce any security vulnerability in Bitcoin Core.
No security action needed. Treat as a routine CI/dependency maintenance update.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
