there would probably be a little bit of waste heat through the shell, but it would likely be too little to pick up from any meaningful stellar distances

thinking about this for the last hour... i think i take it back. wouldn't all the energy have to make it out of the shell eventually, else the interior would just keep getting hotter. so, whatever the output of the star, would just be dispersed over the surface area of the shell (without some other dedicated release mechanism). i'd imagine that math is doable, but it's beyond my knowledge.
