Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing `asdf-plugin-manager add shellcheck` in the stated Ubuntu and zsh environment, then trace the CLI path that updates the internal plugin list and the command producing the sed error. Done means the command completes without the sed message and `shellcheck` appears in the internal plugin list.
