Add unit tests for config loader pure helpers

[northline-lab]

Summary

Add comprehensive unit tests for pure helper functions in contribarena.config.loader that previously had no dedicated test coverage.

Functions now tested

Helper	Purpose	Tests
_load_yaml_like	Parse YAML or JSON config text, validate root is mapping	12
_clean_env_value	Strip matching outer quotes from env var values	10
_load_dotenv	Load .env file into os.environ without overwriting	10

Test coverage

• LoadYamlLikeTest (12 tests) — JSON/YAML parsing, leading whitespace handling, non-mapping root rejection, invalid syntax handling, unicode preservation
• CleanEnvValueTest (10 tests) — single/double quote stripping, mismatched quote preservation, empty string handling, inner quote preservation
• LoadDotenvTest (10 tests) — nonexistent file handling, comment/blank line skipping, export prefix handling, existing env preservation, multiple entry loading

Verification

pytest tests/unit/test_config_loader_helpers.py -v
# 30 passed in 0.15s

ruff check tests/unit/test_config_loader_helpers.py
# All checks passed!

pytest tests/unit/test_config_schema.py -v
# 8 passed (no regressions)

Risk

Low — test-only addition. No production code is modified.
