Code Review

This pull request introduces a new function, demo_shellcheck_break, within smoke_test.sh to demonstrate an intentional ShellCheck violation. Feedback suggests adding a shellcheck disable comment to explicitly acknowledge this intentional violation for clarity and to prevent CI tools from flagging it. Additionally, it's recommended to redirect the output of demo_shellcheck_break to /dev/null to maintain clean test results.

[gemini-code-assist]

While this ShellCheck violation is intentional as per the PR description, it's a good practice to explicitly acknowledge this in the code using a shellcheck disable comment. This clarifies the intent for future maintainers and prevents CI tools from flagging it, which is especially important for code intended for demonstration.

To do this, you can add a comment on the line preceding the command.

[gemini-code-assist]

The output of demo_shellcheck_break is sent to standard output, which can clutter test results. Since the output isn't being asserted, consider redirecting it to /dev/null to keep the test output clean. This change does not interfere with the primary goal of introducing a ShellCheck violation for testing purposes.
