Code Review

This pull request introduces a new function demo_shellcheck_break to Backend/test/smoke_test.sh. The review suggests simplifying this function by inlining the variable and using printf instead of echo for improved portability and safety, as echo's behavior can be inconsistent across shells and is flagged by ShellCheck (SC2028).

[gemini-code-assist]

This function can be simplified by inlining the variable. Also, printf is safer and more portable than echo for printing arbitrary data, as echo's behavior with backslashes or leading hyphens is not consistent across shells. This is flagged by ShellCheck as SC2028, which is likely the intended violation for this demo.

Suggested change

	local name="Sprint 7"
	echo "$name"
	printf "Sprint 7\n"
