[PATCH v3 1/3] environment: drop redundant NULL checks in config getters

From
Tian Yuchen <cat@malon.dev>
Date

Message-ID

<20260807085932.3958759-1-cat@malon.dev>

These repository config getters require a valid repository pointer. While an uninitialized repository is a valid state and is handled by returning default values, passing NULL is a programming error.

Drop the NULL checks so that invalid callers are not silently accepted.
