fix: v0.23.1 — CI fix, security warnings, expanded test coverage

- Fix macOS CI: CLI help tests use inspect.signature (Rich truncation)
- Security: trust_remote_code warning panels for AWQ/GPTQ export
- Tests: packing trainer mock, curriculum fallback branch, empty list edge case
- 1979 tests across 70 test files
