Environment variables documented but not working

Bug Summary

I'm running this task:

  ansible.platform.user:
    username: jdoe
    first_name: Jane
    last_name: Doe
    email: jdoe@example.com
    password: "P@ssw0rd"
    state: present
    update_secrets: false

the following environment variables are defined:

GATEWAY_HOSTNAME and AAP_HOSTNAME

the resulting error:

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "gateway_url or gateway_hostname must be provided as task parameter or defined in inventory"}

I'm running AAP 2.7, ee-supported-rhel9 with collection version 2.7.20260630".
Same result for latest git/main version.

The environment variables GATEWAY_HOSTNAME and AAP_HOSTNAME are described in the modules docstring. Am I missing something?
