Research direction

Start by locating the script that installs or provides /usr/bin/run_task and inspect its shell invocation around line 6. Reproduce the command on Ubuntu 20.04, then verify that run_task completes without requiring the set -euo pipefail line to be commented out.

/usr/bin/run_task: 6: set: Illegal option -o pipefail
