Summary

Updated Slurm version references from 25.05.x to 25.11.x, updated installation paths, and added new download URL and SHA256 checksum for Slurm 25.11.2-1 installer.

Security assessment

This is a routine version update for Slurm software. The change updates version numbers, paths, and adds a new checksum for the new version. There is no evidence of addressing a security vulnerability or adding security-specific documentation. The checksum addition is part of standard integrity verification, not a new security feature.
