      "Excerpt": "## Environment\n\n- Provider: Sauce Labs (`src/providers/cloud/saucelabs.provider.ts`)\n- Affects: browser and mobile (native app / mobile browser) session capabilities\n\n## Summary\n\nThe Sauce Labs provider's `buildCapabilities()` builds its own `sauce:options` object and assigns it to the resolved capabilities. Every other top-level user capability is merged via spread, but `sauce:options` is a nested object the provider also constructs, so it gets overwritten wholesale — any Sauce settings a calle",
