Recovered 70 prior commits from Gitea mirror and resolved divergent history using --allow-unrelated-histories. Integrated 16 recent local commits via patch. Applied targeted technical fixes: added explicit bash shell declaration in shellcheck YAML configuration (commit 693caff) and targeted SC2120 disables in modules/utils.sh (commit 3614b56). All verifications passed: shellcheck compliance, bash syntax check (bash -n), and BATS test suite passing cleanly. Symmetrically synchronized repository state across GitHub and Gitea.
