refactor(test): rewrite tests to comply with integration-first rules

Replace mocked DB/internal-services with real ChromaDB/SQLite via tmp_path.
Only mock truly external APIs (LLM, embedding for deterministic vectors).

13 test files rewritten (314 pass, 0 fail):
- Route tests: use TestClient + real ChromaDB, seed test data
- Service tests: use real PersistentClient/SQLite instances
- Pipeline tests: TestClient hits SSE /query endpoint, verify history
- Converted unittest.TestCase to pytest where applicable

Plus: fix metadata.py to filter None values from ChromaDB metadata
(pre-existing bug caught by real-DB ingestion tests)

 - Empty decomposition falls back to original question (Decision #13)
 - Single sub-question still uses ## Sub-question N format
 - All chunks filtered out returns "no relevant information"
