Subject: [PATCH] fix(hooks): guard strings/cat against set -e abort in
 pre-push

Add || echo "" fallback to strings and cat command substitutions.
Without this, if strings is not installed (e.g. minimal Docker/CI
images), set -e silently aborts the script with exit 127, blocking
the push with no message.
