Under set -u, "${arr[@]}" on an empty array aborts on bash before 4.4,
which is what macOS ships as /bin/bash. Three expansion sites now use
${arr[@]+"${arr[@]}"} consistently.
The hazard is not currently reachable: verified on a bash 3.2.57 built
from source that all seven invocation shapes succeed against the
previous code, including zero args, flags-only and an empty directory.
vale_args is provably non-empty at every site because the default
--config branch always appends first. The guard is kept because that
invariant is non-local and untested, so an edit to the default-config
branch would reintroduce a macOS-only crash silently.
Test fidelity is deliberately mixed. Case 16 is static and is the only
one that fails against the previous code, since no bash 5 host can
reproduce the abort at runtime. Case 17 runs the emptiest invocations
under the oldest bash it can find and names that shell in its output
so it cannot overclaim. Case 18 guards against the tempting wrong fix
of dropping the quotes, which also silences the abort but word-splits
a path containing a space.
No other bash 4.x construct is present; swept for mapfile, declare -A,
case modification, negative indices, globstar, wait -n and namerefs.
