Above lines are included in the your 3/22/26 18:56 pm patch.

Here, you not only changed the file permission from 755 to 644, but also 
removed the shebang testing framework. That was clearly incorrect — 
fortunately, you seem to have realized this and sent another patch. ;)

I have no objections to the changes mentioned above, but I think you 
should name this patch V2, which is the community standard. Also, I 
think it would be great if you replied to the reviewers.

Thanks,
