fix(tests): resolve unit test failures and mark external dependency tests

Fixes:
- auth.py: validate_api_key now correctly rejects invalid keys
- issue_detection_rules.py: wrap project_path in Path() for / operator
- pattern_migrator.py: pass pg_db_url to UnifiedDatabase
- test_error_solution_manager: update mocks to use unified_db instead of chroma
- test_issue_prediction_models: fix random mock paths and return values
- test_pattern_manager_simple: use encode() instead of get_embeddings()
- test_workflow_manager: use dict access instead of attribute access
- test_workflow_router: create isolated FastAPI app for role override tests

Mark tests requiring PostgreSQL/ChromaDB/sentence_transformers as external_deps:
- integration tests (auth_flow, centralized_architecture, knowledge_manager)
- e2e tests (basic_workflow, knowledge_lifecycle)
- storage tests (postgresql_connector, unified_database)
- tests requiring ML models (multi_modal_embeddings, universal_knowledge_server)
