I’m running into a similar issue that was resolved in 3.193.1, where specifying an optional in an a environment lens throws exception in runtime.
Only this time it’s happening in a composite environment object.
Version Used: 3.193.1

Caused by: org.http4k.lens.LensFailure: location 'NON_OPTIONAL_VAR' must be object

Code Snippet:

    val optionalVar: String?

            listOf(env[location]!!)
        },
        LensSet { _: String, _: List<String>, env: Environment ->
            env
        })
    private val lens = spec.composite {
        CompositeConfig(
            nonOptionalVar = required("NON_OPTIONAL_VAR")(it),
            optionalVar = optional("OPTIONAL_VAR")(it)

        val defaultEnvironment = Environment.defaults(
            EnvironmentKey.k8s.SERVICE_PORT of 8000
