Summary

Fill two recurring documentation gaps surfaced by assistant conversations where users could not find answers in the docs.

Changes

  • send-requests/REST/req-header.mdx — List the default headers Bruno sends automatically (User-Agent, Accept, Accept-Encoding, Content-Type, Content-Length, Host), where to inspect them (Timeline tab), and note that adding a header with the same name overrides the default. Values verified in packages/bruno-electron/src/ipc/network/axios-instance.js and packages/bruno-cli/src/utils/axios-instance.js in usebruno/bruno.
  • variables/request-variables.mdx — Add a "Deleting a Request Variable" section documenting UI removal from the Vars tab, and clarify that bru.deleteVar() / bru.deleteAllVars() target runtime variables, not request variables.

Context

Assistant sessions in the review window repeatedly hit dead ends on these two topics — one thread cycled three times on "how to delete the request variable", and another was told the docs don't list the default headers Bruno sends.
