Add Node 26 to the build matrix

[YasharF]

Prerequisits

• ➡️Must have valid API keys for ALL supported providers
• Wait until Node 26 release next week (May 5, 2026) 2026-05-05, Version 26.0.0 (Current) nodejs/node#62526
• Wait until actions/setup-node GitHub action supports Node 26

Scope

• Test and verify that the following pass with no issues on Nodejs 26:

npm run lint
npm run test
npm run test:e2e:live

• Test and verify that build job in the GitHub action goes thru successfully. This requires a fork of the repo, and adding a repo variable RUN_E2E with value of true.

• Launch an instance with Nodejs 26 and manually navigate and verify the following views are not broken:
  /ai/ai-agent
  /api/facebook
  /api/google/drive
  /api/google/sheets
  /ai/llm-camera
  /api/paypal
  /api/paypal/success
  /api/paypal/cancel
  /api/quickbooks
  /api/steam
  /api/stripe
  /api/tumblr
  /api/twitch

I'm blocked on a different issue, which is to be fixed in playwright 1.61 microsoft/playwright#40117 , which is blocked because https://github.com/actions/runner-images doesn't have Ubuntu 26 yet.

$ npm run test:e2e:live

> hackathon-starter@10.0.0 pretest:e2e:live
> npx playwright install chromium

Failed to install browsers
Error: ERROR: Playwright does not support chromium on ubuntu26.04-x64

I managed to get things working by adding an Ubuntu 24 image to my WSL setup in addition to my regular Ubuntu 26.
