fix: refactor environment detection to enable test environment isolation

- Extract environment detection logic from validation.ts into dedicated environment.ts
- Create EnvironmentDetector interface with ProductionEnvironmentDetector implementation
- Add automatic test environment override to disable Claude Code detection during tests
- Update validation.ts to use environment abstraction
- Add createMockEnvironmentDetector utility for testing
- Resolves all 44 test failures caused by Claude Code consolidation in test runs
- Maintains production Claude Code detection functionality
