test: make async helper regression portable

The interceptor only captured (number, prompt) and dropped the third
options argument. This caused partialExecutionTargets to be lost,
making ComfyUI execute all output nodes instead of just the selected
one when using Execute Selected Output.

Fixes #76

-## Current Architecture
-
-- Workflow-level load balancing is controlled by **Distributed Collector** via the `load_balance` toggle.
-- There is **no Distributed Queue node** anymore.
-- With `load_balance=true`, orchestration selects one least-busy execution participant:
-  - If master participation is enabled, master is included as a candidate.
-  - If master is in orchestrator-only mode, only workers are considered.
