test: add 105 new unit tests for untested core functionality

Add comprehensive tests for B-class issues (core functionality untested):

Pipeline:
- test_pool.py: QueryPool ID generation, caching, async context (12 tests)
- test_ratelimit.py: Fixed timing-sensitive test tolerance
- test_pipelinemgr.py: Use real Pydantic StageProcessResult instead of Mock

Utils:
- test_version.py: Version comparison functions (20 tests)
- test_logcache.py: Log page management and retrieval (18 tests)
- test_httpclient.py: HTTP session pool management (10 tests)
- test_proxy.py: Proxy configuration from env and config (10 tests)
- test_image.py: URL parsing and base64 extraction (12 tests)
- test_pkgmgr.py: Pip command generation (8 tests)

Discover:
- test_engine.py: I18nString, Metadata, Component manifest (15 tests)

Test count: 1193 → 1298 (+105 tests)

Note: Some B-class issues cannot be tested due to circular import bugs
filed as GitHub issues #2175 (pipeline) and #2176 (persistence).
