This PR restructures the end-to-end tests for the multi-database search
layer to improve maintainability, consistency, and coverage across
supported Python versions and database settings.
Key Changes
-Migrates the existing E2E tests to pytest for a more standard and
extensible testing framework.
-Introduces pytest fixtures to centralize and reuse test setup logic.
-Implements proper event loop management to support multiple
asynchronous pytest tests reliably.
-Improves SQLAlchemy handling in tests, ensuring clean setup and
teardown of database state.
-Extends multi-database E2E test coverage across all supported Python
versions.
Benefits
-Cleaner and more modular test structure.
-Reduced duplication and clearer test intent through fixtures.
-More reliable async test execution.
-Better alignment with our supported Python version matrix.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Tests**
* Expanded end-to-end test suite for the search database with
comprehensive setup/teardown, new session-scoped fixtures, and multiple
tests validating graph/vector consistency, retriever contexts, triplet
metadata, search result shapes, side effects, and feedback-weight
behavior.
* **Chores**
* CI updated to run matrixed test jobs across multiple Python versions
and standardize test execution for more consistent, parallelized runs.
