fix: exclude tests/ from Bandit's assert_used (B101) check - #99

Bare `assert` is idiomatic pytest style (~45 test-suite uses), not a security concern -- B101 exists to catch assert used for real validation in src/ (asserts vanish under `python -O`), where it's still doing legitimate work (48 findings there, unaffected by this change). Verified with a throwaway venv: `bandit -c pyproject.toml -r src tests` now reports the same 48 issues as `-r src` alone (was 93 combined before this config), and `-r src` alone is unchanged. Codacy's Python engine is Prospector, which wraps Bandit and honours this native pyproject.toml config directly -- no Codacy-side setting needed.

Summary
Codacy has been flagging every bare
assertin the test suite (Prospector's Bandit integration, rule B101 "assert_used"). Bareassertis idiomatic pytest style (~45 uses acrosstests/), not a security concern there -- B101 exists to catchassertused for real validation insrc/, where an assert can silently vanish underpython -O. That's still a legitimate 48 findings, untouched by this change (tracked in #41).Fix
