There was a problem hiding this comment.
The shell change itself is the right direction: replacing local -A with a linear lookup keeps the script compatible with older Bash implementations.
Blocking concern: this PR also commits .slim/deepwork/issues-500-505.md, which is unrelated to #501 and duplicates planning/handoff context that now belongs on issues, especially #505. The issue #505 comment already defines the override direction and explicitly defers that work to a dedicated session, so this implementation PR should not carry a broad deepwork planning artifact.
Please remove the .slim/deepwork file from this PR and keep the change focused on stackctl.sh. The stackctl fix itself looks acceptable after that cleanup.

…tion Replaces local -A dir_to_stack=() (Bash 4+ only) in _secrets_deploy() with a linear-scan _dir_to_stack() function. macOS ships Bash 3.2 which does not support associative arrays. Also removes 2>/dev/null from the generator call so errors are visible. Ref: #501
