commit f0cbdc517ff8c184fe7f818071025ba162737d06
Author: Nilesh Patra <nilesh@debian.org>
Date:   Sun Nov 8 08:17:23 2026 +0100

    tests(exec-exception): Add test to check against exec exception for bashism in scripts

commit 2848ee687825a87a1aafb9d332e01893c97ef544
Author: Nilesh Patra <nilesh@debian.org>
Date:   Sun Nov 8 08:07:24 2026 +0100

    BashCentric.pm: Tighten check for `exec` to continue parsing on redirection execs (See: #997911)
    
    The test skips everything after `exec` which is too simplistic. As seen in #997911, this happens
    to skip the entire script since there is an `exec >&3` which is incorrect behavior. This commit tries
    to amend regex to skip redirection related `exec` calls to reduce the rate of unchecked files.

commit 486801a960303027b1149e90f64be27ab9286d12
Author: Nilesh Patra <nilesh@debian.org>

Author: Nilesh Patra <nilesh@debian.org>
Date:   Tue Nov 3 20:02:39 2026 +0100

    Distribution.pm: Do not error `distribution-and-changes-mismatch` for sid and unstable

commit b2d6bf8c486d098b40b987857d1095cc1313dcbb
