The file list came from `find .`, so every path carried a leading './'.
shellcheck writes those paths verbatim into its `-f diff` output, and
`git apply` rejects a diff whose paths start with './' as "invalid path",
which aborts the whole autoformat run.
The autofix branch was therefore dead from the start and nobody noticed:
it only runs when shellcheck actually has something to correct, and until
now it never did. The first real finding turned a silent no-op into a red
`make quality`.
