This commit fixes a Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) vulnerability
in `tools/setup-ssh-keys.sh`. Previously, the SSH private key was
created with the default system umask and subsequently modified with
`chmod 600`. This left a brief window where the key was readable by
unauthorized processes. The fix wraps the file creation in a subshell
with `umask 077` to guarantee it is created securely from the start.

In addition, it resolves a few preexisting shellcheck errors, and records
the security learning in `.jules/sentinel.md`.

+## 2025-04-12 - Prevent TOCTOU vulnerabilities in file creation
+
+**Vulnerability:** SSH private keys and other sensitive files were being written
+to disk and subsequently restricted using `chmod 600`. This creates a
+Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition where the file is briefly
+readable with default permissions before `chmod` executes.
+**Learning:** Shell scripts generating sensitive files must ensure the file is
+created with secure permissions from the moment of creation. Explicitly calling
+`chmod` after creation leaves a brief window for local privilege escalation or
+unauthorized read access.
+**Prevention:** Wrap the file creation logic in a subshell `(...)` and set
+`umask 077` immediately before the command that writes the file. This ensures
+the file is created with 600 permissions without affecting the global script's
+umask.
