+## Tests
+
+To run all tests, use:
+```bash
+pixi run test
+```
+But if you have modified recipe data under the tests/data/channels directory, you need to update the test channel before running tests:
+```bash
+pixi run update-test-channel <channel_name>
+```
+> [!NOTE]
+> This task currently only works on unix systems. If you are on Windows, it is recommended to use [WSL](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install).
+
+For example, if you modified data for dummy_channel_1:
+```bash
+pixi run update-test-channel dummy_channel_1
+```
+After updating the test channel, run the tests again:
+```
+pixi run test
+```
+
 ## CLI documentation
 The CLI reference is automatically generated from the code documentation of CLI commands under `src/cli`.

 !!! note
     Even though the variables are environment variables these cannot be overridden. E.g. you can not change the root of the project by setting `PIXI_PROJECT_ROOT` in the environment.
+
+## Environment Variable Priority
+
+The following priority rule applies for environment variables: `task.env` > `activation.env` > `activation.scripts` > activation scripts of dependencies > outside environment variables.
+Variables defined at a higher priority will override those defined at a lower priority.
+
+!!! warning
+
+    In older versions of Pixi, this priority was not well-defined, and there are a number of known
+    deviations from the current priority which exist in some older versions.
+    Please see the warning in [the advanced tasks documentation](../workspace/advanced_tasks.md#environment-variables)
+    for further details and migration guidance.
+
+##### Example 1:  `task.env` > `activation.env`
+
+In `pixi.toml`, we defined an environment variable `HELLO_WORLD` in both `tasks.hello` and `activation.env`. 
+
+When we run `echo $HELLO_WORLD`, it will output:
+```
+Hello world!
+```
+
+```toml title="pixi.toml"
+[tasks.hello]
+cmd = "echo $HELLO_WORLD"
+env = { HELLO_WORLD = "Hello world!" }
+[activation.env]
+HELLO_WORLD = "Activate!"
+```
+
+##### Example 2: `activation.env` > `activation.scripts`
+
+In `pixi.toml`, we defined the same environment variable `DEBUG_MODE` in both `activation.env` and in the activation script file `setup.sh`.
+When we run `echo Debug mode: $DEBUG_MODE`, it will output:
+```bash
+Debug mode: enabled
+```
+
+```toml title="pixi.toml"
+[activation.env]
+DEBUG_MODE = "enabled"
+
+[activation]
+scripts = ["setup.sh"]
+```
+
+```bash title="setup.sh"
+export DEBUG_MODE="disabled"
+```
+
+##### Example 3: `activation.scripts` > activation scripts of dependencies
+
+In `pixi.toml`, we have our local activation script and a dependency `my-package` that also sets environment variables through its activation scripts.
+When we run `echo Library path: $LIB_PATH`, it will output:
+```
+Library path: /my/lib
+```
+
+```toml title="pixi.toml"
+[activation]
+scripts = ["local_setup.sh"]
+
+[dependencies]
+my-package = "*"  # This package has its own activation scripts that set LIB_PATH="/dep/lib"
+```
+```bash title="local_setup.sh"
+export LIB_PATH="/my/lib"
+```
+
+##### Example 4: activation scripts of dependencies > outside environment variable
+
+If we have a dependency that sets `PYTHON_PATH` and the same variable is already set in the outside environment.
+When we run `echo Python path: $PYTHON_PATH`, it will output:
+```bash
+Python path: /pixi/python
+```
+```
+# Outside environment
+export PYTHON_PATH="/system/python"
+```
+```toml title="pixi.toml"
+[dependencies]
+python-utils = "*"  # This package sets PYTHON_PATH="/pixi/python" in its activation scripts
+```
+
+##### Example 5: Complex Example - All priorities combined
+In `pixi.toml`, we define the same variable `APP_CONFIG` across multiple levels:
+```toml title="pixi.toml"
+[tasks.start]
+cmd = "echo Config: $APP_CONFIG"
+env = { APP_CONFIG = "task-specific" }
+
+[activation.env]
+APP_CONFIG = "activation-env"
+
+[activation]
+scripts = ["app_setup.sh"]
+
+[dependencies]
+config-loader = "*"  # Sets APP_CONFIG="dependency-config"
+```
+```bash title="app_setup.sh"
+export APP_CONFIG="activation-script"
+```
+```bash
+# Outside environment
+export APP_CONFIG="system-config"
+```
+
+Since `task.env` has the highest priority, when we run `pixi run start` it will output:
+
+```
+Config: task-specific
+```

+Notes on environment variables in tasks:
+- Values set via `tasks.<name>.env` are interpreted by `deno_task_shell` when the task runs. Shell-style expansions like `env = { VAR = "$FOO" }` therefore work the same on all operating systems.

+
+    If you previously relied on a certain priority which no longer applies, you may need to change your
+    task definitions.
 
-These variables are not shared over tasks, so you need to define these for every task you want to use them in.

 The task shell is a limited implementation of a bourne-shell interface.
