🎉 MAJOR MILESTONE: End-to-End Testing Framework Complete!

✨ NEW FEATURES:
- Comprehensive end-to-end testing framework for complete workflow validation
- EnvironmentValidator with tool detection and permission checking
- EndToEndTester with multi-phase testing (environment, extraction, manifest, execution, validation)
- Test report generation with detailed next steps and troubleshooting
- Real workflow testing with actual container images (Debian, Ubuntu, Alpine)

🔧 IMPROVEMENTS:
- Testing infrastructure moved from component testing to complete workflow validation
- Environment validation with comprehensive tool detection
- Test coverage extended to end-to-end integration testing
- Documentation expanded with environment setup guides

🧪 TESTING RESULTS:
- Container extraction: Successfully tested with debian:trixie-slim, ubuntu:22.04, alpine:latest
- Manifest generation: Validated dynamic creation with multiple configurations
- Environment validation: All required tools detected and accessible
- Integration testing: Complete workflow testing framework functional

📊 PROGRESS:
- Major achievement: End-to-end testing framework complete and functional
- Ready for proper debos environment setup and validation

📁 FILES:
- New: test-end-to-end-workflow.go, test-simple-debos.yaml
- New: DEBOS_ENVIRONMENT_SETUP.md, END_TO_END_TESTING_STATUS.md
- Updated: README.md, todo, CHANGELOG.md, all progress docs

🚀 STATUS: Testing framework complete - ready for environment setup!
