📄 Description

Closes #5688

Previously, when importing Postman collections with API key authentication, if the "in" field was missing or undefined in the auth configuration, the code would incorrectly default to passing the API key via query parameters (with ?? "query" fallback). As seen in the issue #5688, this caused the Authentication method to always be set as "QUERY_PARAMS" incorrectly.

What's changed

Now there is no default fallback for the API key authentication when importing Postman collections, which correctly maps the "HEADERS" configuration from the collection being imported. The "QUERY_PARAMS" behaviour keeps working as expected.
