Steve Yegge f6dbcd1a4f Add test safeguards to prevent production database pollution (bd-2c5a)
- Add failIfProductionDatabase() check in Go test helpers
- Add temp directory verification in RPC test setup
- Create conftest.py with pytest safety checks for Python tests
- Add BEADS_TEST_MODE env var to mark test execution
- Tests now fail fast if they detect production .beads/ usage

This prevents test issues from polluting the production database
like the incident on Nov 7, 2025 where 29+ test issues were created
in .beads/beads.db instead of isolated test databases.

Resolves: bd-2c5a
