Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set 'add-route' to 'enable' on the hub's ADVPN configuration
For shortcut tunnels to be established, the hub must have 'add-route' enabled so that it advertises routes to other spokes. Without this, spokes will not know how to reach each other directly and will continue to route through the hub.
