Description
Keybase "command line with [bash + GPG + cURL]" actions produce shell scripts that use backticks for command substitution. Using `$(command)` for command substitutions is preferred over ``command``. See http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/082.
[Backtick command substitutions also produce warnings in shellcheck](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/wiki/SC2006).

Research direction
Start by locating the Keybase command-line actions that generate the bash + GPG + cURL shell scripts, since the issue names no files or tests. Inspect the generated command substitutions and verify that replacing backticks removes ShellCheck SC2006 warnings without changing script behavior.
