What changed

• More reliable release checks on Windows

  • Hardened scripts/release_check_e2e.ps1 output capture to avoid false failures caused by benign stderr handling in PowerShell.
  • Improved Windows task execution in taskfile.yaml (race-test fallback when gcc is missing, more robust npm resolution, safer tag-fetch behavior, default single-scenario e2e value).

• Build toolchain alignment

  • xk6 bumped from v1.4.4 to v1.4.6 across release/CI/task config.

• Dependency refresh

  • Updated module graph, including:
    • github.com/grafana/sobek -> v0.0.0-20260612080906-524cb275218c
    • github.com/dlclark/regexp2/v2 -> v2.2.1 (indirect)
    • github.com/google/pprof -> v0.0.0-20260604005048-7023385849c0 (indirect)
    • golang.org/x/text -> v0.38.0 (indirect)
    • golang.org/x/sync -> v0.21.0 (indirect)

Upgrade impact

• No migration needed for existing xk6-kv JS API usage.
• Recommended upgrade for teams relying on Windows-based release validation and up-to-date toolchain deps.

Build toolchain

• Go: 1.25.11
• xk6: v1.4.6
