## ℹ️ Description
*Provide a concise summary of the changes introduced in this pull
request.*
- Link to the related issue(s): Issue #
- Describe the motivation and context for this change.
Refactors the test harness for faster and more reliable feedback: adds
deterministic time freezing for update checks, accelerates and refactors
smoke tests to run in-process, defaults pytest to xdist with durations
tracking, and adjusts CI triggers so PRs run the test matrix only once.
## 📋 Changes Summary
- add pytest-xdist + durations reporting defaults, force deterministic
locale and slow markers, and document the workflow adjustments
- run smoke tests in-process (no subprocess churn), mock update
checks/logging, and mark slow specs appropriately
- deflake update check interval tests by freezing datetime and simplify
FixedDateTime helper
- limit GitHub Actions `push` trigger to `main` so feature branches rely
on the single pull_request run

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Tests**
* Ensure tests run in a consistent English locale and restore prior
locale after each run
* Mark integration scraping tests as slow for clearer categorization
* Replace subprocess-based CLI tests with an in-process runner that
returns structured results and captures combined stdout/stderr/logs;
disable update checks during smoke tests
* Freeze current time in update-check tests for deterministic assertions
* Add mock for process enumeration in web‑scraping unit tests to
stabilize macOS-specific warnings
