docs: Clarify batch processing scalability test purpose [AI-assisted] (#248)
The test test_large_bibtex_file_processing was checking batch processing scalability but the weak assertion (legitimate_count > 0) appeared to be a test quality issue. However, this is actually appropriate for an integration test that makes real API calls. Renamed test to test_batch_processing_scalability to better reflect its purpose and enhanced documentation to clearly explain that this tests batch processing capability, not assessment correctness. Added inline comment explaining why we only verify > 0 instead of all 50 entries. This resolves confusion about the test's purpose and makes it clear that weak assertions are intentional for integration tests with external dependencies. Closes: #246 Co-authored-by: florath-ai-assistant[bot] <Andreas.Florath@telekom.de>
