fix: clean up utcnow deprecation warnings, fix 12 failing tests, add CI/CD pipeline manifests

- Replace all datetime.utcnow() with datetime.now(tz=timezone.utc) across 8 files
- Fix 12 failing tests to match current implementation behavior
- Fix pytest_plugins in non-top-level conftest (moved to root conftest.py)
- Auto-fix 189 lint issues (import sorting, unused imports)
- Add CI/CD pipeline infrastructure (ARC, ArgoCD, Kargo manifests)
- Add values-beta.yaml and values-paper.yaml for staged deployments
- Update GitHub Actions workflow to use self-hosted-gremlin runners
- Add integration-test job to CI pipeline
