What?

Make the cloud secrets not configured error accurate when a test run is reused via K6_CLOUD_PUSH_REF_ID under k6 cloud run --local-execution. In that case secrets.get() now returns a message pointing to K6_CLOUD_SECRETS_TOKEN / K6_CLOUD_SECRETS_ENDPOINT, instead of the misleading "make sure you're using k6 cloud run --local-execution" text (which the user already is).

The cloud secret source selects the message itself by reading the K6_CLOUD_PUSH_REF_ID env var from its params (internal/secretsource/cloud/cloud.go); the reuse-specific guidance appears only when that env var is set, and the original generic message is unchanged otherwise. Covered by a unit test in internal/secretsource/cloud.

Why?

#5814 (fixing #5813) made k6 cloud run --local-execution skip CreateTestRun when K6_CLOUD_PUSH_REF_ID is set, to avoid creating orphan test runs. That CreateTestRun response is the only place the cloud secret source is configured from the cloud API, so reusing a run left the source unconfigured and secrets.get() failed with a message instructing the user to do what they were already doing (#6050).

There is no cloud API to fetch per-run secrets config for an existing run without creating a new one, so secrets in this path must be supplied via K6_CLOUD_SECRETS_TOKEN / K6_CLOUD_SECRETS_ENDPOINT (the PLZ operator path, which I verified still works). This keeps #5814 intact and makes the error accurate and actionable. The reuse case is detected by reading the K6_CLOUD_PUSH_REF_ID env var the source already has access to (the documented way to reuse a run), which keeps the change self-contained to the secret source with no cross-package plumbing.

Not sure about this, would it be better with conf.PushRefID?

When a test run is reused via K6_CLOUD_PUSH_REF_ID, k6 skips
CreateTestRun (#5814) to avoid orphan runs. That response is the only
place the cloud secret source is configured from the cloud API, so
secrets.get() failed with a message telling the user to use
'k6 cloud run --local-execution' -- which they already were.

The cloud secret source now reads K6_CLOUD_PUSH_REF_ID from its params
and, when set, points users to K6_CLOUD_SECRETS_TOKEN and
K6_CLOUD_SECRETS_ENDPOINT instead. The generic message is unchanged
for all other cases.

Created with `brew bump-formula-pr`.<details>
  <summary>release notes</summary>
  <pre>k6 `v2.2.0` is here πŸŽ‰! This release includes:

- `k6 cloud run --local-execution` now streams k6's logs to Grafana Cloud, so the test run's log view works for local execution too.
- `chromium.connectOverCDP()`, which connects browser tests to an already-running Chromium instance.
- `TextEncoder` and `TextDecoder` available as globals, and `WritableStream` support in `k6/experimental/streams`.
- A `k6 cloud load-zone list` command.
- Two new experimental feature flags: `merge-run-tags` and `freeze-env`.

## Breaking changes

There are no breaking changes in this release.

## New features

### `k6 cloud run --local-execution` streams logs to Grafana Cloud [#6171](grafana/k6#6171)

When a cloud test runs locally with `k6 cloud run --local-execution`, k6's logs now stream to the Grafana Cloud test run, so the run's log view is populated the same way it is for cloud execution. Previously, local-execution logs stayed on the machine running k6 and never reached the cloud. Work with Grafana's secrets management to safely work with secrets and redact them if they're accidentally leaked into logs are pushed. Use the new `--no-cloud-logs` flag opts out to opt out of streaming of logs when working with `--local-execution`:

```shell
k6 cloud run --local-execution script.js
k6 cloud run --local-execution --no-cloud-logs script.js
```

### Connect to a running browser with `chromium.connectOverCDP()` [#6165](grafana/k6#6165)

The browser module can now attach to an existing Chromium-based browser over the Chrome DevTools Protocol, mirroring Playwright's `browserType.connectOverCDP()`. Pass the browser's WebSocket endpoint and k6 manages the returned browser's connection β€” it's auto-closed at the end of the iteration, though you can call `close()` earlier to release the connection on demand.

```js
import { chromium } from 'k6/browser';

export default async function () {
  const browser = await chromium.connectOverCDP('ws://localhost:9222/devtools/browser/<id>');
  const page = await browser.newPage();

  try {
    await page.goto('https://quickpizza.grafana.com/');
  } finally {
    await page.close();
    await browser.close();
  }
}
```

Unlike the `K6_BROWSER_WS_URL` environment variable, the endpoint is a runtime value β€” you can, for example, request a fresh session URL from a browser provider's API in `setup()` and connect to it from the iterations.

### `TextEncoder` and `TextDecoder` globals [#6182](grafana/k6#6182)

`TextEncoder` and `TextDecoder` are now available as standard globals in both the init and VU contexts, no import required β€” matching how they are exposed in browsers and other JavaScript runtimes.

```js
const encoded = new TextEncoder().encode('Hello, world!');
const decoded = new TextDecoder().decode(encoded);
```

### `WritableStream` in `k6/experimental/streams` [#6132](grafana/k6#6132)

The experimental streams module now implements `WritableStream` and `WritableStreamDefaultWriter` following the WHATWG Streams specification, complementing the existing `ReadableStream` and paving the way for a future `TransformStream` implementation.

```js
import { WritableStream } from 'k6/experimental/streams';

export default async function () {
  const stream = new WritableStream({
    write(chunk) {
      console.log(`wrote ${chunk}`);
    },
  });

  const writer = stream.getWriter();
  await writer.write('hello');
  await writer.close();
}
```

### `k6 cloud load-zone list` command [#6142](grafana/k6#6142)

A new `k6 cloud load-zone list` subcommand lists the load zones β€” public and private β€” available in the configured Grafana Cloud k6 stack, mirroring the existing `k6 cloud project list` command. Output defaults to a human-readable table; pass `--json` to emit a JSON array instead.

```console
$ k6 cloud load-zone list
Load zones for https://example.grafana.net:

ID                     NAME                     TYPE      AVAILABLE
amazon:us:ashburn      Ashburn, US (Amazon)     public    yes
amazon:sa:cape town    Cape Town, SA (Amazon)   public    yes
```

### Configurable `handleSummary()` timeout [#5854](grafana/k6#5854)

The time budget for the `handleSummary()` callback β€” previously hardcoded to 120 seconds β€” is now configurable through the `handleSummaryTimeout` option or the `K6_HANDLE_SUMMARY_TIMEOUT` environment variable, so long-running tests with heavy summaries no longer fail with `handleSummary() execution timed out`. Thanks, @LBaronceli!

```js
export const options = {
  handleSummaryTimeout: '5m',
};
```

### New experimental feature flags: `merge-run-tags` and `freeze-env`

Two new experimental flags join the feature-flag system introduced in v2.1.0:

- [#5714](grafana/k6#5714) `merge-run-tags` merges run tags per key across config layers, so `options.tags` in a script is no longer silently discarded when `--tag` or `K6_TAGS` is also used β€” higher-priority layers win on conflicting keys instead of replacing the whole map. Thanks, @yordis!
- [#6032](grafana/k6#6032) `freeze-env` freezes the `__ENV` object, so modifications from script code throw a `TypeError` (in strict mode) instead of silently persisting across iterations and scenarios. Thanks, @lohitkolluri!

```shell
k6 run --features merge-run-tags,freeze-env script.js
```

## UX improvements and enhancements

- [#5631](grafana/k6#5631) Makes the browser module's header accessors β€” `response.allHeaders()`, `headerValue()`, `headerValues()`, and `headersArray()` β€” return the raw wire headers (including `Set-Cookie` and security-related headers), correctly paired with each hop of a redirect chain instead of Chrome's provisional headers. As part of this, `headerValues()` now matches header names case-insensitively and splits repeated values on newlines rather than commas, and the `browser_data_sent`/`browser_data_received` metrics now include the raw header bytes and no longer vary run-to-run with CDP event ordering.
- [#6208](grafana/k6#6208) Makes `k6 cloud` reject the run flags (for example, `--vus`) with an `unknown flag` error and a non-zero exit code. Previously `k6 cloud --vus 10 script.js` accepted the flags, printed the help text, and exited 0 β€” running tests with `k6 cloud` directly was deprecated in v2.0.0 in favor of `k6 cloud run`.
- [#6096](grafana/k6#6096) Points the cloud secrets error at `K6_CLOUD_SECRETS_TOKEN` and `K6_CLOUD_SECRETS_ENDPOINT` when a test run is reused via `K6_CLOUD_PUSH_REF_ID` under `--local-execution`, instead of suggesting the `--local-execution` flag the user is already using.
- [#6196](grafana/k6#6196) Adds `catch` blocks to the browser examples so a failing iteration reports the original error instead of a subsequent `page.close()` failure. Thanks, @locker95!

## Bug fixes

- [#6234](grafana/k6#6234) Classifies HTTP/2 errors by message so the `error_code` metric tag stays correct when k6 is built with Go 1.27 (whose `x/net/http2` delegates to the standard library), and explicitly enables HTTP/2 negotiation on VU transports.
- [#6232](grafana/k6#6232) Drains queued log entries in the Loki hook at shutdown so `--out loki` and cloud log streaming no longer lose the final batch, and emits a `k6 dropped N log messages` warning when the cloud log buffer overflows instead of dropping logs silently.
- [#6125](grafana/k6#6125) Serializes the first concurrent open of a file in the caching filesystem so parallel `fs.open()` calls on the same file no longer read zero or truncated bytes.
- [#6147](grafana/k6#6147) Fixes a data race and inconsistent request-interception state when browser routes are added or removed concurrently. Thanks, @somak2kai!
- [#6070](grafana/k6#6070) Flushes buffered file log output once per second so recent logs aren't lost when k6 is killed before shutdown. Thanks, @rohan-patnaik!
- [#6205](grafana/k6#6205) Stops sending an invalid `Sec-WebSocket-Protocol` header when tailing Grafana Cloud logs; spec-strict servers rejected the handshake with `websocket: bad handshake`.
- [#6200](grafana/k6#6200) Leaves a counter's `rate` unset when the observed duration is zero, instead of computing `+Inf` and spuriously failing `rate` thresholds. Thanks, @samarth70!
- [#6195](grafana/k6#6195) Initializes a gauge's maximum from the first sample so all-negative gauge series no longer report `max=0`. Thanks, @Solaris-star!
- [#6145](grafana/k6#6145) Prevents the OpenTelemetry output from panicking at startup when basic auth is configured without `K6_OTEL_HEADERS`. Thanks, @lukdz!
- [#6140](grafana/k6#6140) Stops `SharedArray` deep-freezing JS primitives, which needlessly wrapped large strings in `String` objects β€” cutting memory usage in the reported reproduction from roughly 1 GB to 100 MB.

## Maintenance and internal improvements

- [#6126](grafana/k6#6126), [#6224](grafana/k6#6224), [#6229](grafana/k6#6229) Adds anonymous extension usage to the k6 usage report: a run reports the Go module path, version, and type of registry-cataloged extensions it actually uses (imported `k6/x/` modules, output extensions selected with `--out`, and `k6 x` subcommands). Private and unlisted extensions are never reported, and the existing `--no-usage-report` opt-out covers it.
- [#6183](grafana/k6#6183), [#6218](grafana/k6#6218) Updates Sobek and regexp2, making `W
