Scoped shells require v4 access to run

[ptpaterson]

Note

FQL v4 will be decommissioned on June 30, 2025. Fauna accounts created after August 21, 2024 must use FQL v10. These accounts will not be able to run FQL v4 queries or access the v4 Dashboard. To get started with FQL v10, please refer to our latest documentation at docs.fauna.com

We validate the database scope using a FQL v4 query, which means accounts created after August 21 cannot use scoped shells, e.g. run fauna shell child_db_name
