This works identically across all runtimes (Node, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare) because it uses Web Standards Request/Response. Do not use supertest -- it is an Express-specific library that requires a running HTTP server. With app.request(), tests are fast, portable, and require no server startup. The app definition should be in a separate file from the entry point so tests can import the app without starting a server.",
