Description

Summary

Some tracked files in this repo currently have executable mode (100755) even though they are not executed directly in our workflow.

We run Bash/Fish scripts via ./..., so executable bits on *.sh / *.fish are intentional. Python scripts are run via uv or python ..., so +x is unnecessary for those files.

Affected files

dev/scripts/check_translation_keys.py dev/scripts/update_version_announcement.py

Why this matters

  • Reduces noisy permission-only diffs and review comments.
  • Keeps file modes aligned with actual execution patterns.
  • Improves repo consistency.

Proposed fix

Change both files from executable (100755) to regular (100644) and commit the mode change only.

Acceptance criteria

  • Both Python files are 100644 in git.
  • No content changes, only permission/mode changes.
  • Bash/Fish scripts remain executable where needed.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Use `git update index chmod= x` to remove executable permission from the two Python files, then commit the changes.
