feat: add comprehensive unit tests for pipeline stages (#1701)

* feat: add comprehensive unit tests for pipeline stages

* fix: deps install in ci

* ci: use venv

* ci: run run_tests.sh

* fix: resolve circular import issues in pipeline tests

Update all test files to use lazy imports via importlib.import_module()
to avoid circular dependency errors. Fix mock_conversation fixture to
properly mock list.copy() method.

Changes:
- Use lazy import pattern in all test files
- Fix conftest.py fixture for conversation messages
- Add integration test file for full import tests
- Update documentation with known issues and workarounds

Tests now successfully avoid circular import errors while maintaining
full test coverage of pipeline stages.

* refactor: rewrite unit tests to test actual pipeline stage code

Rewrote unit tests to properly test real stage implementations instead of
mock logic:

- Test actual BanSessionCheckStage with 7 test cases (100% coverage)
- Test actual RateLimit stage with 3 test cases (70% coverage)
- Test actual PipelineManager with 5 test cases
- Use lazy imports via import_module to avoid circular dependencies
- Import pipelinemgr first to ensure proper stage registration
- Use Query.model_construct() to bypass Pydantic validation in tests
- Remove obsolete pure unit tests that didn't test real code
- All 20 tests passing with 48% overall pipeline coverage

* test: add unit tests for GroupRespondRuleCheckStage

Added comprehensive unit tests for resprule stage:

- Test person message skips rule check
- Test group message with no matching rules (INTERRUPT)
- Test group message with matching rule (CONTINUE)
- Test AtBotRule removes At component correctly
- Test AtBotRule when no At component present

Coverage: 100% on resprule.py and atbot.py
All 25 tests passing with 51% overall pipeline coverage

* refactor: restructure tests to tests/unit_tests/pipeline

Reorganized test directory structure to support multiple test categories:

- Move tests/pipeline → tests/unit_tests/pipeline
- Rename .github/workflows/pipeline-tests.yml → run-tests.yml
- Update run_tests.sh to run all unit tests (not just pipeline)
- Update workflow to trigger on all pkg/** and tests/** changes
- Coverage now tracks entire pkg/ module instead of just pipeline

This structure allows for easy addition of more unit tests for other
modules in the future.

All 25 tests passing with 21% overall pkg coverage.
