Basic load shape	Load controls from the UI: VUs, duration, ramp-up strategy, and thresholds	`src/lib/loadrift/types.ts`
Advanced options	Raw k6 JSON merged over basic options	`src/app/advancedOptions.ts`, `src-tauri/src/k6/process/runtime.rs`
Sequential traffic	Mode where every runnable selected request is executed each iteration	`src-tauri/src/importing/script.rs`
