Subject: [PATCH 2/5] test: deliberate lint error to verify the NODE-7694 gate

Whitespace-only prettier violation. Fails `prettier --check .evergreen/*.js`
in run-lint-checks.sh while leaving config.yml byte-identical, so the task
matrix is unchanged and the gate is the only variable.

Revert before merge.
