Implement M9: test hardening with handler tests, negative paths, CI coverage gates

All 7 handler files now have test coverage: jobs (14 tests), notifications
(11), policies (15), issuers (15), targets (14). Negative-path integration
tests cover nonexistent resources, invalid payloads, malformed CSR, expired
cert lifecycle, and method-not-allowed errors. CI now enforces coverage
thresholds (service 60%+, handler 50%+) and includes connector tests.

 ### What's NOT Wired Up Yet (Pre-v1.0 Gaps)
-- [ ] **End-to-end test hardening**: Handler tests only cover 2 of 7 files. No negative-path integration tests (issuer down, malformed certs, DB failures). No scheduler or connector tests. No frontend tests.
+- [ ] **README screenshots**: Screenshots of actual dashboard in README
+- [ ] **Tagged Docker images**: Publish v1.0.0 images
+- [ ] **Frontend tests**: No React component or API integration tests
