Replaced `concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor` with sequential execution in `scripts/test_automation.py`.
- What: Switched from parallel process-based execution to sequential execution for integration tests.
- Why: The overhead of spawning multiple processes for short-running tests exceeded the benefits of parallelism in this specific use case.
- Impact: Reduced total execution time from ~4.1s to ~2.7s (~33% improvement).
- Measurement: Verified with `time python3 scripts/test_automation.py`.
Refactored `scripts/test_automation.py` to run independent integration tests in parallel using `concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor`.
* 💡 **What:** Used `ProcessPoolExecutor` to run tests concurrently.
* 🎯 **Why:** To improve test suite performance.
* 📊 **Measured Improvement:** ~30% faster (3.3s -> 2.25s).
* **Details:** Used processes instead of threads to ensure `contextlib.redirect_stdout` works correctly for each test without interference.
