- Success/failure counting

Refs: #101
Implements comprehensive timeout enforcement tests for ProcessWorker
validating the three-layer timeout strategy from issue #101.

- Layer 2: Handler execution timeout (timeout during handler execution)
- Layer 3: Timeout vs graceful shutdown distinction
- Remaining time calculation
- Grace period enforcement

Refs: #101
Documents the three-layer timeout enforcement strategy implemented

for GetProcessAsync (Task<Process>).

Refs: #101

feat: Implement ShippingProcessHandler Example (Phase 7.2)
Problem:
- CI jobs (Build, Test, Quality) were running twice on PRs
- Once triggered by pull_request event
- Once triggered by push event on develop

Solution:
- Remove push trigger for develop branch
- Keep pull_request for all PR validations
- Keep push trigger for main (post-merge validation)
- Keep push trigger for tags (release workflow)

This follows GitHub Actions best practices:
- PRs should validate via pull_request events
- Direct pushes to main (after merge) get final validation
- Release tags trigger release workflow

… tests

Problem:
- ShippingProcessHandler uses Random() with no seed
- ReserveCarrierCapacityAsync has 2% random failure rate
- Tests fail randomly in CI/CD pipeline

Solution:
- Add optional randomSeed parameter to constructor (default: null for prod)
- Use seed-based Random when provided (for tests)
- Use time-based Random in production (current behavior)
- Tests can now pass deterministic seed for consistent results

This approach:
- Maintains production randomness for realistic simulation
- Enables deterministic test execution
- Follows dependency injection principles
- No mocking required - clean solution

Related to PR #150
Problem:
- Tests were failing randomly due to 2% simulated failure rate
- CI/CD pipeline showed intermittent failures
- No way to reproduce failures consistently

Solution:
- Use seed=42 for all test instances (deterministic behavior)
- With seed=42, random.Next(100) never returns < 2
- All tests now pass consistently
- Remove warning comments about random failures

Test Results with seed=42:
- ExecuteAsync_Should_AcceptValidCarriers: ✅ Always passes
- ExecuteAsync_Should_CompleteSuccessfully_WithValidData: ✅ Always passes
- All other tests: ✅ Unaffected (no random logic)

Production behavior:
- Still uses random failures (no seed)
- Realistic simulation maintained
