blocking => false not working

Summary

When I set blocking => false, the request is still blocking.

Given the following code sample

# make options
    $options = array(
        'timeout' => 60,
        'connect_timeout' => 10,
        'blocking' => false
    );

# request
$response = WpOrg\Requests\Requests::request($url, $headers, $data, POST, $options);

Unfortunately, if I set a short timeout like 1 second, the remote API call will not complete.
I don't need the response, only for it to run in the background while the script does something else.

I'd expect the following behaviour

I would expect it to return immediately, so the rest of the script can run.

Instead this happened

With a long API call lasting over 1 minute, the script hangs until it returns a reply.

Additional context

The way around this for non blocking requests is to use curl with CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL set to 1.
This let's me timeout early and the api call will complete properly.

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $endpoint);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($fields));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 1); // Set timeout to 1 second
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL, 1); // Ignore all cURL signals to ensure script continues 
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

Your environment

Tested against develop branch?

no

Start by reproducing the provided Requests::request call with blocking set to false, a short timeout, and a long-running endpoint, then compare its behavior with the cURL example using CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL. Trace how the blocking and timeout options are handled in the request path. Done means the call returns promptly while preserving the intended non-blocking request behavior.
