It’s probably been asked before, but is there a reason why MockEngine.create doesn’t return MockEngine? At the moment we’re doing MockEngine.create { … } as MockEngine - will it be expected in the future that MockEngine.create might not return MockEngine?

Could you please describe why do you need to know a specific type of engine? You can create a feature request to share your idea about returning specific engines.

Only really applies to our usage of MockEngine where we’re obtaining and asserting over the requestHistory collection. Effectively we are wanting to configure the engine while having the same usage pattern as MockEngine { req -> … } usage.
