The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds missing quotation marks around variables in a collection of build and release shell scripts. In shell scripting, unquoted variables can split or be interpreted unexpectedly if paths contain spaces or special characters. The change is defensive hardening of the project's build tooling rather than a fix for a specific reported exploit. It reduces the risk of build failures or accidental command injection during release builds, but it does not patch a vulnerability in the wallet software that end users run.

Recommended action

Treat as low-risk hardening. Reviewers should verify that no unquoted variables remain in the same scripts and that quoting does not break intentional word-splitting elsewhere. No urgent user action is required; downstream builders should update to this commit to reduce build-time fragility.
