Resolve Sudo Account Issue on the Integritee Shell Parachain

- Parachains need HRMP channels to talk to each other.
- Right now, Kusama only allows 10 HRMP channels.
- There are 27 parachains, and Karura already uses 6 channels.
- 10 channels are not enough for all parachains to communicate.
- Too many channels can slow down the relaychain, so there’s a limit.
- The proposal wants to increase the limit from 10 to 30 channels.
- This will help parachains work better and test Kusama’s performance.
- If needed, they can increase the limit again later.
