Subject: [PATCH] v2.26.4: fix Environment Configurator crash when .env
 variable missing (#191)

read_env_var() grep pipeline failed under set -euo pipefail when .env
existed but didn't contain the requested key. grep returned 1 (no match),
pipefail propagated it, and set -e killed the script.

+## [2.26.4] - 2026-03-14
+
+### Fixed
+- **Environment Configurator crash** — `read_env_var()` crashed with "Setup failed at line 2333" when `.env` existed but didn't contain the variable being looked up. `grep` returned exit code 1 (no match), which `pipefail` propagated and `set -e` turned into a fatal error. Fixed by appending `|| true` to the pipeline. (#191)
