Workspace environment variable inheritance limited to REST requests in Insomnia 8.x
The goal is to verify whether workspace environment variables are inherited by all request types or only by REST requests, creating a hidden permission boundary for GraphQL queries.
Testing in Insomnia 8.5 shows correct variable substitution for REST requests while GraphQL queries ignore inherited variables, leading to intermittent authentication failures when shared credentials are used.
Questions: 1) Does workspace variable inheritance apply to GraphQL requests? 2) Is there a documented constraint specifying which request types inherit variables? 3) How does this inconsistency affect configuration consistency across request types?
