python-engine
I apologize if this has already been discussed and I missed it, but I see
there now is a python-engine which can be enabled under
preferences/features. I want to know more about it but did not see
anything at https://openscad.org/documentation.html. Can anyone direct
me to documentation of the feature or a tutorial or just a simple "Hello
world" example using this feature?

Easiest way to access it is to download a build which has it enabled:
Then, as noted on the Windows Installation Instructions, make a .py file containing:
from openscad import *
a=cube(1)
a.show()
and render that.

I downloaded a .appimage from pythonscad.org and have begun going through
the tutorials. My initial impression is excitement this has potential to
provide a big advance in capabilities for scripted CAD.
But I'm stuck at how to fix an error of 'file not trusted' for "use
<test.py>" in a .scad file.

Agreed!
But I'm stuck at how to fix an error of 'file not trusted' for "use <test.py>" in a .scad file.
My solution was to edit the icon to just trust everything as noted at: https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview/blob/main/gcodepreview.py
#icon "C:\Program Files\PythonSCAD\bin\openscad.exe" --trust-python
I believe it will work to open the test.py file and then run it, which will add it to the list of trusted files.
There are some notes on calling Python from .scad in:
https://old.reddit.com/r/OpenPythonSCAD/wiki/index#wiki_programming_in_openscad_and_calling_python
which hopefully will be helpful.

Thanks! The command line option --trust-python fixed the error.
Without the command line option I was able to load and execute test.py but
that did not fix the trust error for "use <test.py>" inside a .scad file.
Perhaps that works with the Windows version but not under Linux?

For linux its the same
just add : --trust-python
to the end of your AppImage invocation
