Description

Bug description

Currently we dont use the scalar api proxy, however we should probably do the following 2 attempts at an http request:

  1. first attempt is directly try without proxy
  2. second attempt is try with proxy only if CORS error is reached

we can make this a configuration option with scalar api references, but will be default off

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by locating the HTTP request handling and Scalar API reference configuration. Trace how CORS errors are surfaced, then verify that requests try direct access first and use the Scalar proxy only after that error, with the option disabled by default.
