feat(KB-648): enable parallel test execution and optimize test performance

- Optimize backup tests using fake timers instead of real timeouts

- Enable parallel file execution in core, engine, CLI, and dashboard packages

- Add inline test helpers to reduce dependencies in dashboard routes tests

- Update executor tests with exact command matching and improved assertions

- Update AGENTS.md with test optimization patterns (fake timers, unique temp dirs)
