Our Commentary ​

Bun support in Playwright is a big deal, even if it's experimental. The testing landscape is getting wild with all these runtimes. I'm also really digging the new failures reporter; it's a small quality-of-life improvement that makes a huge difference when debugging. The exclusive test lock is a clever addition for those tricky integration scenarios.
