Description

Assuming this can be done safely (that there aren't notable features we lose by using nodejs APIs directly), this should be done to remove transitive dependencies.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify all usages of the 'request' package in the codebase and determine appropriate native Node.js alternatives (e.g., 'http' or 'https' modules) for each. Ensure error handling and features like redirects are preserved.
