It appears that environment variables are not shared between Runner and Collections, even though same environment is used.  
If I run a script that sets env variable in the Runner, that same variable in the same env is not updated for use in Collections.

UPDATE: Apparently, there’s a setting in the Runner called Keep variable values, duh
