This might not be shortest, but 12.0 seems to be dualed. Is this a try on the Schnoebelen theme?

Proof game in 20.5. BishopTakesH7 will tell us how much shorter it needs to be.

Newly shortened 52-move game for a position posted over two and a half years ago at the link below. Will it get any shorter?

Yes. In fact, the position was first posted at #65, around 12+ years ago.

Proof game still shrinking after 12 years. Will it ever end?
First try, 11.5
One of various SPGs.
