[Testing] Offline Horizon RPC Mocking for Stellar SDK

[AlAfiz]

Description: Implement a robust HTTP mocking layer intercepting outbound requests from the @stellar/stellar-sdk to the Horizon RPC.
Context / Motivation: Running backend tests shouldn't require an active internet connection or rely on the rate-limited public testnet Horizon nodes. Offline mocking ensures our CI pipelines run blazingly fast and predictably.
Acceptance Criteria: - [ ] Integrate a mocking library like nock or msw (Mock Service Worker).

• Capture and store raw JSON responses from Horizon for standard calls (e.g., fetching account balances, fee stats).
• Configure the test suite to intercept SDK network calls and return these stored JSON fixtures instead.
• Write a test asserting that API handles a mocked 504 Gateway Timeout from Horizon gracefully.
  Technical Pointers: The Stellar SDK relies heavily on standard HTTP requests under the hood. You will need to explicitly mock the exact URL paths (e.g., https://horizon-testnet.stellar.org/accounts/...) that the server utilizes.

Hey team,

I would love to take this on. My planned approach:

• Structure backend handlers for [Testing] Offline Horizon RPC Mocking for Stellar SDK with strict input validation, proper HTTP error codes, and idempotent execution.
• Cover implementation with end-to-end integration tests for standard and edge-case inputs.

I am ready to start immediately—please assign this to me!
