Subject: [PATCH] fix dist tests workflow summary

After kubeconfig was replaced with an in-cluster service account, k8sClient was returning null and thus no test summaries were being written to ConfigMaps. This change returns a default Kubeconfig for the k8sClient when one is not passed in an environment variable.
