+ * NOTE: These unit tests validate API availability but have limited coverage
+ * due to QuickJS async callback timing issues. Callback assertions don't
+ * execute reliably in the test context.
+ *
+ * For production validation, see the comprehensive E2E tests in:
+ * packages/hoppscotch-cli/src/__tests__/e2e/fixtures/collections/scripting-revamp-coll.json
+ *
+ * The E2E tests make real HTTP requests and fully validate:
+ * - String URL format
+ * - Request object format
+ * - URL-encoded body
+ * - Response format validation
+ * - HTTP error status codes
+ * - Environment variable integration
+ * - Store response in environment
