QTZPOC-13: Introduce joblib fallback for MLflow model loading
Enhances model loading resilience by attempting to deserialize models directly with joblib if MLflow's native flavor loaders fail. This mechanism handles cases where .pkl files are present in the artifact.
Adds joblib as a core dependency and includes new end-to-end and unit tests to validate fallback behavior, covering success, no-fallback, and double-failure scenarios. Also updates .gitignore for .claude/ files and incorporates minor refactorings and linting adjustments across E2E tests and utility functions.
Enhance E2E testing with MinIO support and update documentation
- Updated `requirements-dev.txt` to include MinIO support in testcontainers.
- Added a new fixture for MinIO container setup in `conftest.py` to facilitate E2E tests involving S3-compatible storage.
- Introduced a new test fixture for activities using a real MinIO container in `conftest.py`.
- Updated E2E test scenarios and documentation to reflect the integration of MinIO for offload uploads and clarified error handling in workflows.
- Refactored existing tests to improve clarity and maintainability.
Update dependencies and refactor input filter handling for consistency
- Updated sientia-dataops-library dependency version from 1.10.3 to 1.10.4 in requirements.txt.
- Refactored input filter handling in the Gates class to read policy and config keys in a case-insensitive manner.
- Updated test cases to ensure consistency in filter key naming conventions across various scenarios.
Update coverage source in pyproject.toml, add testcontainers for PostgreSQL in requirements-dev.txt, increment image tag and adjust probe delays in values.yaml, and refine condition checks in format_and_export_prediction.py and mlflow.py. Additionally, enhance test coverage in test_gates.py.
