- Added a new fixture to manage runtime report artifacts in a writable temp directory during E2E tests, addressing permission issues in local CI/dev environments.
- Updated `conftest.py` to include a requirements.txt file in the model packaging path for training activities.
- Refactored existing fixtures to use `pytest.fixture` instead of `pytest_asyncio.fixture` for better compatibility.
- Enhanced the `Reports` class to include a target alias for report metrics, ensuring compatibility with Evidently's reporting requirements.
- Introduced new test scenarios to validate the handling of missing and whitespace-only `date_column` inputs in the training workflow.
These changes improve the robustness of the E2E testing framework and enhance the clarity of model reporting metrics.
