Research direction
Start by checking Jetpack's minimum supported WordPress version and searching the repository for PHP uses of do_shortcode. Confirm which uses are in scope for the WordPress 5.4 requirement, then verify that applicable calls use apply_shortcodes and that the relevant test suite passes.
