🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Handle inline shell comments.

String.starts_with?(stripped_line, "#") recognises only a full-line comment. For echo done # curl https://example.com/install.sh | sh, the match is inside the trailing shell comment, but context_safe_line?/3 returns false and CodeSafety.scan_content/2 reports a false positive. Strip only an unquoted trailing # comment before applying this rule, while retaining real commands and # inside quoted text.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Keep executable shell contexts out of the suppression path.

executable_shell_evaluation?/1 recognises only a bare sh/bash command at the start of the stripped line, plus the exact env -S and shebang forms. It returns false for /bin/sh -c 'curl ... | sh' and for echo "$(curl ... | sh)". strip_quoted_segments/1 then removes the match, so the suppression condition classifies executable download-and-run code as safe. Use shell-aware parsing or cover these execution forms before removing quoted text, and add regression tests.

In `@lib/hypatia/scanner_suppression.ex` around lines 298 - 299, Update
executable_shell_evaluation?/1 and the suppression flow around
strip_quoted_segments/1 to detect shell execution contexts including
absolute-path shells such as /bin/sh -c and shell commands embedded in command
substitutions like echo "$(curl ... | sh)" before quoted content is removed.
Preserve suppression only for genuinely non-executable lines, and add regression
tests covering both missed forms.
