test: add nested enrich_span() backend validation for evaluate()

- Add comprehensive test for nested function calls with enrich_span() in evaluate() workflows
- Test validates enriched properties (metadata, metrics, config, feedback) persist to backend
- Covers parent function → nested helper function enrichment pattern
- CRITICAL assertions fail if enrichment not found (zero-false-positives)
- Mark as @pytest.mark.slow to prevent performance test interference
- Reduce sleep from 10s → 5s to minimize parallel execution contention

Test Results: 170/170 integration tests passing

+- **🧪 Testing: Nested enrich_span() Backend Validation**
+  - Added comprehensive test for nested function calls with `enrich_span()` in `evaluate()` workflows
+  - Test validates enriched properties (metadata, metrics, config, feedback) actually persist to backend
+  - Covers parent function → nested helper function enrichment pattern
+  - Uses real API fixtures (`real_project`, `integration_client`) for accurate validation
+  - CRITICAL assertions fail if enrichment not found in backend (zero-false-positives policy)
+
 - **📚 Examples: Strands Multi-Agent Integration**
   - Added comprehensive Swarm collaboration example demonstrating multi-agent handoffs
   - Added Graph-based workflow example with parallel processing and aggregation patterns
