Hydrogen April 2026 release

The Hydrogen April 2026 release (v2026.4.0) is out. This release updates the Storefront API and Customer Account API to 2026-04 and includes breaking changes to consent handling and the API proxy.

• Updated Storefront API and Customer Account API to 2026-04 (#3651)
• Breaking: The Storefront API proxy is now always enabled. The proxyStandardRoutes option has been removed from createRequestHandler. If your load context does not include a storefront instance, the request handler will throw an error. (#3649)
• Breaking: Backend consent mode is now on by default, replacing the legacy _tracking_consent JS cookie with server-set cookies via the Storefront API proxy. (#3649)
