Subject: [PATCH] feat: Implement conditional quoting in shellVariablesEncoder

- Modify doEncode method to check pe.prefs.UnwrapScalar.
- If UnwrapScalar is true, output raw node.Value.
- Otherwise, use quoteValue for shell-safe quoting.
- This enables quote-free output for Kubernetes workflows when -r is used.
