…_OVERRIDE Playwright does not yet ship a native chromium build for ubuntu26.04-x64. When setup detects Ubuntu 26.04, it now automatically sets PLAYWRIGHT_HOST_PLATFORM_OVERRIDE=ubuntu24.04-x64 before calling bunx playwright install chromium. The ubuntu24.04 binary runs fine on ubuntu26.04 (same glibc lineage). Without this fix users see: Failed to install browsers Error: ERROR: Playwright does not support chromium on ubuntu26.04-x64 The override is scoped to the install subshell; it does not persist to the environment or affect subsequent setup steps.

Summary
Fixes #2101
Playwright does not yet ship a native chromium build for ubuntu26.04-x64. Running ./setup on Ubuntu 26.04 fails immediately with:
\
Failed to install browsers
Error: ERROR: Playwright does not support chromium on ubuntu26.04-x64

Fix
The setup script now reads /etc/os-release before calling �unx playwright install chromium. When it detects Ubuntu 26.04, it sets PLAYWRIGHT_HOST_PLATFORM_OVERRIDE=ubuntu24.04-x64 for the install subshell only. The ubuntu24.04 binary runs correctly on ubuntu26.04 (same glibc lineage).
The override is scoped to the subshell — it does not persist to the caller's environment or affect any other setup step.
The workaround documented in #2101 (PLAYWRIGHT_HOST_PLATFORM_OVERRIDE=ubuntu24.04-x64 ./setup) still works for users on other unsupported future Ubuntu versions.
