Add comprehensive report generator test with generated data for fast format validation

[Copilot]

This PR addresses the need for a fast, comprehensive test of the report generator that validates format and display output without running expensive optimizations.

Problem

The existing test infrastructure had a gap:

• Individual report components were tested in isolation using UnifiedReportTestSuite
• Full benchmarks in benchmark_reports.rs run actual optimizations which are slow
• No test existed to validate the complete ReportGenerator::generate_main_report() pipeline using only generated data

Solution

Added tests/report_generator_test.rs which provides:

Fast End-to-End Testing

• Uses UnifiedReportTestSuite::create_test_data() for consistent synthetic data
• Tests complete in ~0.01 seconds vs minutes for real optimization runs
• Validates the entire report generation pipeline without computational overhead

Comprehensive Format Validation

The test validates that ReportGenerator::generate_main_report() correctly creates:

• Directory structure: reports/, data/, convergence/, plots/, latex/
• Unified reports in all formats: HTML, LaTeX, Markdown, CSV
• Legacy reports: Benchmark markdown and LaTeX tables
• Data exports: Detailed results and summary statistics CSV files
• Report index: Main HTML navigation page

Content Quality Checks

• Validates HTML contains proper DOCTYPE and substantial content
• Checks CSV files have expected headers and data rows
• Verifies LaTeX files contain appropriate markup
• Tests both normal and family optimization modes

Test Structure

#[tokio::test]
async fn test_report_generator_complete_pipeline() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    // Uses generated test data for speed
    let test_data = UnifiedReportTestSuite::create_test_data();
    
    // Tests complete report generation
    report_generator.generate_main_report(&data_refs, false).await?;
    
    // Validates all expected outputs exist and have proper content
    // ...
}

Benefits

• Developer productivity: Quick feedback on report generation changes
• CI/CD friendly: Fast execution suitable for automated testing
• Regression prevention: Catches format/structure issues early
• Documentation: Serves as executable specification of expected outputs

The test follows existing repository patterns and integrates seamlessly with the current test suite, providing confidence in report generation functionality without the computational cost of running actual optimizations.

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• esm.ubuntu.com
  • Triggering command: /usr/lib/apt/methods/https (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
