After editing any shell script in `local/bin/`, `scripts/`, or `config/` (files with a `#!` shebang or `# shellcheck shell=` directive), validate it:
## 1. Determine the shell
- `/bin/sh` or `#!/usr/bin/env sh` shebang -> POSIX, use `sh -n`
- `/bin/bash` or `#!/usr/bin/env bash` shebang -> Bash, use `bash -n`
- `# shellcheck shell=bash` directive (no shebang) -> use `bash -n`
- `# shellcheck shell=sh` directive (no shebang) -> use `sh -n`
- No shebang and no directive -> default to `bash -n`
## 2. Syntax check
Run the appropriate syntax checker:
```bash
bash -n <file> # for bash scripts
sh -n <file> # for POSIX sh scripts
```
If syntax check fails, fix the issue before proceeding.
## 3. ShellCheck
Run `shellcheck <file>`. The project `.shellcheckrc` already disables SC2039, SC2166, SC2154, SC1091, SC2174, SC2016. Only report and fix warnings that are NOT in that exclude list.
## Key files to never validate (not shell scripts)
- `local/bin/fzf-tmux` (vendor file)
- `*.md` files
- `*.bats` test files (Bats, not plain shell)
