Test fixture requires COHERE_API_KEY for non-API tests

[DeFiVC]

What

The test fixture for FeedbackEngine calls get_cohere_client(), which calls CohereClient(), which reads settings.cohere_api_key. If COHERE_API_KEY is not set in the environment, pydantic-settings raises a ValidationError during Settings() instantiation, and the test fixture fails.

Why

The tests for _compute_score and quick_feedback do not need the Cohere client at all. The fixture should mock the Cohere client.

Scope

• Mock the Cohere client in the fixture
• Tests should not require API keys

Acceptance Criteria

• Tests run without COHERE_API_KEY
• Non-API tests don't depend on external services

Technical Context

• File: tests/test_feedback_engine.py, lines 13-14, 43-44

# We assume that settings are configured via a mechanism that calls get_cohere_client().

# ================================================================
# Rationale Summary (Self-Correction/Documentation):
# 1. The `mock_settings` fixture uses `@pytest.fixture(autouse=True)` and `patch('src.config.Settings')` 
#    to intercept the Settings initialization process. This guarantees that when *any* test runs, 
#    the system believes valid settings were loaded, regardless of the presence of COHERE_API_KEY.
# 2. The `feedback_engine(mock_settings)` fixture remains clean, inheriting the patched configuration.
# 3. For the actual API interaction tests (`TestFeedbackQuick`), we use `@patch('src.services.feedback_engine.CohereClient')` 
#    to ensure that even if the calling code tries to instantiate a real client, it receives a controlled mock object, 
#    thus maintaining isolation and preventing runtime failures due to environment variables.
