### Version 6.1.6 (November 24, 2025)

**Features**

- Added Checkly environment variables and configuration to [Playwright Check Suites](/detect/synthetic-monitoring/playwright-checks/overview). See the docs on [Playwright Check Suites environment variables](/detect/synthetic-monitoring/playwright-checks/environment-variables)
- Adds support for `CHECKLY` to all checkly triggered runs: scheduled checks and test sessions triggered through either `npx checkly test`, `npx checkly trigger` or `npx checkly pw-test`
- Includes the environment variable `CI` as true only for test session triggered runs

### Version 6.1.5 (November 14, 2025)

### Version 6.1.3 (August 14, 2025)

**Security updates**

- Additional commits from runners
- Full changelog [here](https://github.com/checkly/checkly-runners/releases/tag/v6.1.3)

### Version 6.1.2 (August 6, 2025)

**Features**

- Add support for CHECKLY_SECRET environment variables
- When an environment variable prefixed with `CHECKLY_SECRET_` contains special characters (anything other than A-Za-z0-9-_.~), the system now:
1. Detects special characters using the regex pattern `/[^A-Za-z0-9\-_.~]/`
2. Creates an encoded version using `encodeURIComponent()` with additional `!` character encoding (%21)
3. Adds it to the scrubbing cache to ensure both original and encoded values are properly scrubbed from traces
- This ensures that secrets containing special characters like `@, %, !, +`, etc. are properly scrubbed even when they appear in encoded form within request payloads or URLs
