Is HttpClientEngineBase intended to be subclassed? I ask because suspend fun execute(data: HttpRequestData): HttpResponseData is maked as @InternalAPI, but HttpClientEngineBase itself isn’t.

Yes, if you want to implement a custom engine. I think this was made to prevent users from calling the execute method directly. On the other hand, engine implementers should ignore it.
