Looks like this was introduced in 8426f84b18dc08042d64ecb1104267abbb7442fa which bumped the versions of some dependencies.

Edit: Confirmed that downgrading mvdan.cc/sh to v3.10.0 fixes this issue.

@NorbertHauriel Could you please report this upstream and link the issue here so we can track it.

It looks like the upstream https://github.com/mvdan/sh/issues/1138 has been fixed.

Yeah, but it’s not released yet. I’ll update mvdan/sh as soon as they publish a new version.

FWIW this was released with v3.12.0 in July.
