chore: setup complete testing infrastructure

[Opulencechuks]

This PR closes #205
PR Description: Comprehensive Frontend Testing Infrastructure

Description
This PR introduces a complete, multi-layered testing infrastructure for the frontend to ensure robust code quality, prevent visual and accessibility regressions, and maintain performance standards.

Implementation Details

• Unit & Component Testing: Enhanced the Jest and React Testing Library setup. Configured a strict >85% global coverage threshold and integrated jest-axe for component-level accessibility assertions.
• E2E Testing: Configured Playwright for end-to-end testing across multiple browsers (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit) and mobile viewports, including automated axe-core checks.
• Visual Regression: Integrated Storybook and Chromatic. A sample story for ThemeToggle has been provided to demonstrate component isolation and visual diffing.
• API Mocking: Implemented Mock Service Worker (MSW) to intercept and mock network requests consistently across both Node (Jest) and browser (Playwright/Storybook) environments.
• Performance Budgets: Added Lighthouse CI (lighthouserc.js) to assert that the application meets high standards for performance, accessibility, SEO, and best practices.
• CI/CD Integration: Expanded the .github/workflows/ci.yml pipeline to automatically run all testing layers (Coverage, Playwright, Lighthouse, Chromatic) on pushes and pull requests.

How to Test
To verify the new testing infrastructure locally, pull this branch and run the following commands from the frontend/ directory:

1. Install new dependencies:

   npm install

2. Run Unit & Component Tests (with Coverage):

   npm run test:coverage

   Note: This will output a coverage table. Currently, it will fail the threshold check because coverage is below 85% (~60%). This proves the strict thresholds are working.
3. Run End-to-End Tests (Playwright):

   npx playwright install # Install required browsers if not already installed
   npm run test:e2e

4. Run Storybook (Visual Components):

   npm run storybook

   Navigate to the local URL provided (usually http://localhost:6006) to view the isolated components.

Testing Requirements Met

• Unit test coverage > 85% for components and utilities enforced.
• E2E tests cover critical user journeys (infrastructure and sample test added).
• Visual tests catch UI regressions automatically (via Chromatic).
• Accessibility tests validate WCAG compliance (via jest-axe & Playwright).
• Performance tests enforce budgets and thresholds (via Lighthouse CI).
• All tests run reliably in CI/CD pipeline.

Important Note for Reviewers/Admins:
To allow Chromatic to process visual regressions in the CI pipeline, please ensure that the CHROMATIC_PROJECT_TOKEN is added to the repository's GitHub Secrets.
