What?
Remove the deprecated
K6_BINARY_PROVISIONINGenvironment variable that was kept as a backward-compatible alias forK6_AUTO_EXTENSION_RESOLUTION.Why?
The feature was originally introduced as "Binary Provisioning" with the
K6_BINARY_PROVISIONINGenv var in v1.0.0-rc2. In v1.2.0, it was renamed toK6_AUTO_EXTENSION_RESOLUTIONand enabled by default. The old name was kept for backward compatibility with v1.0.x/v1.1.x users, with an explicit code comment: "maintained for backward compatibility to be removed in a future release".v2 is the appropriate semver boundary for removing this deprecated alias.
