Description

One of the big benefits of using the nunit package is not having to worry about lots of setup boilerplate.

However, I can't seem to set the BaseUrl with an env var, which seems pretty crucial to me...

Can we get this added please?

Research direction

Start by tracing how the NUnit package reads runsettings and applies ContextOptions, focusing on BaseUrl and environment-variable configuration. Confirm the expected runsettings format and behavior, then verify that BaseUrl can be set without additional setup boilerplate.
