The PR title and description state this upgrades shell-quote to 1.8.4 (the minimal patch that fixes CVE-2026-9277), but the actual implementation pins 1.9.0, which includes additional type and quoting/parsing changes unrelated to the CVE. Per the reviewer's feedback, we align the implementation to the documented intent by pinning 1.8.4 in:

  • package.json overrides block
  • Both shell-quote entries in package-lock.json (the node_modules/ section and the legacy flat section), including version, resolved URL, and integrity hash
  • The pinned "shell-quote" version inside launch-editor's requires block in the lockfile

Files modified:

  • package.json
  • package-lock.json
