Summarize: - Critical issues (failures masked, security risks) - Major issues (portability, maintainability) - Minor issues (style, documentation) ## Output Format ```markdown ## Summary Shell script review findings ## Scripts Reviewed - [list with line counts] ## Exit Code Issues ### [E1] Pipeline masks failure - Location: script.sh:42 - Pattern: `cmd | grep` loses exit code - Fix: Use pipefail or capture separately ## Portability Issues [cross-platform concerns] ## Safety Issu
