Code Review

This pull request updates the dependency shell-quote to version 1.8.4 and adds it to the root package.json dependencies, alongside minor reordering of read-package-up and lockfile updates. Feedback on these changes highlights that adding shell-quote directly to the root package.json is an anti-pattern if it is not directly imported there, and suggests utilizing the overrides field or declaring it within the specific workspace package instead.

_{Note: Security Review has been skipped due to the limited scope of the PR.}

[gemini-code-assist]

Adding shell-quote directly to the root package.json dependencies is an anti-pattern if it is not directly imported or used by the root package.

• If it is a transitive dependency: Since the package requiring it specifies ^1.6.1, the upgraded version 1.8.4 already satisfies this semver range. You can simply run npm update shell-quote to update the lockfile without adding it to the root package.json dependencies.
• If you must force the version: Use the overrides field in the root package.json instead of adding it to dependencies.
• If it is used directly by a workspace package: It should be declared in that specific workspace's package.json (e.g., packages/cli/package.json) rather than the root.

    "punycode": "^2.3.1",
    "simple-git": "^3.28.0"
