end_of_line = crlf is applied globally, which conflicts with existing LF-terminated Linux shell scripts (e.g., test/linux/unit_tests/build_tests.sh) and can break execution on Unix-like systems if editors rewrite them to CRLF. Please add per-file overrides (at least *.sh/*.bash/*.py/*.cmake -> LF) or change the default to LF and opt-in CRLF only for Windows-specific file types (e.g., .resw, .idl, .ps1).
