Research direction

Run the test suite and inspect lib/httpClient.js at lines 6-7, then read the linked Node.js issue and compare the suggested jest-light-runner workaround. Done means identifying a supported change that prevents the segmentation fault when tests run, with the test suite completing successfully.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When tests run, there is a high probability for them to end with a segmentation fault.

The issue seems to come from https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/35889.

A temporary fix would be to use https://github.com/nicolo-ribaudo/jest-light-runner.

The culprit seems to be https://github.com/digitalbazaar/http-client/blob/1d86e5099ce4aec3e312bcb5c5b24bde548b5f86/lib/httpClient.js#L6-L7.
