Subject: [PATCH 01/14] fix: materialize pipeline caches and migrate Core.Tests
 to TUnit

Production changes:
- Materialize static pipeline caches from IOrderedEnumerable to IReadOnlyList
  to fix thread-safety bug with concurrent LINQ enumeration
- Fix missing post-attribute caching in BuildPipeline/BuildAsyncPipeline
- Remove ClearPipelineCache() methods (no longer needed with materialized caches)

Test migration (Core.Tests):
- Replace xUnit with TUnit test framework
- Convert all test attributes ([Fact]->[Test], [Theory]->[Test]+[Arguments], etc.)
- Convert xUnit assertions to TUnit async assertions
- Convert void test methods to async Task
- Replace [Collection] with [NotInParallel]
- Replace IClassFixture/IAsyncLifetime with TUnit equivalents
- Rename TestState to SpecificationState to avoid TUnit.Core.TestState conflict
- Remove all ClearPipelineCache() calls across all test projects
- Enable ImplicitUsings in tests/Directory.Build.props
- Update test generator Liquid templates

Subject: [PATCH 02/14] fix: upgrade TUnit to 1.33.0, fix all Core.Tests
 parallel execution failures

Upgrade TUnit from 0.67.10 to 1.33.0 and fix all test failures to achieve
650 tests passing with full parallel execution (0 failures, 7 intentional skips).

Production code changes:
- PipelineBuilder: add inbox-aware cache key for pre-attributes to prevent
  cross-contamination between tests with/without global inbox config
- RequestHandler: add self-reference guard in SetSuccessor (parity with async)

Test fixes for parallel safety:
- Clear Activity.Current in test method bodies to prevent TUnit ambient
  activity from contaminating observability tests (Before hooks and
  constructors run in different async scopes, so clearing there has no effect)
- Convert static fields to instance fields in pipeline test classes
- Change Dictionary.Add() to indexer assignment in 7 test doubles to prevent
  duplicate key exceptions under concurrent invocation
- Add [NotInParallel] groups for tests sharing process-global state:
  Observability (ActivitySource/Listener), Workflows (static handler state),
  ContextAware (static test strings), ExceptionPolicy (shared handler flag)

TUnit assertion fixes:
- byte[] comparison: IsEqualTo -> IsEquivalentTo (reference vs value semantics)
- ContentType comparison: add .ToString() for object-to-value-type comparison
- Header bag deserialization: compare via .ToString() for numeric type mismatches
- HasCount().EqualTo() -> Count().IsEqualTo() for TUnit 1.33.0 API
- Swap incorrect Assert.That argument order in context test
- Add #pragma for TUnit0031 in synchronization context tests
