Fixes test suite to run cleanly across different platforms (macOS, Linux, Windows)
after the Rails 5→8 upgrade and UI/UX overhaul.
## Issues Fixed
1. **Firefox/Selenium driver errors**: Removed deprecated Poltergeist/PhantomJS
configuration and properly configured Selenium with headless Chrome. This
works across all platforms without requiring Firefox.
2. **CSS selector errors** ('Unable to find css ".signup"'): The UI/UX overhaul
removed the .signup CSS class. Updated the login helper to work with the
new login form structure.
3. **Ambiguous Login button**: The new UI has both a Login button and Login link.
Changed from `click_on "Login"` to `click_button "Login"` to be specific.
4. **Deprecation warning**: Opted into Rails 8.1 behavior for to_time timezone
preservation to eliminate deprecation warnings.
## Changes
- spec/support/capybara_shared.rb:
* Removed deprecated Poltergeist/PhantomJS configuration
* Configured Selenium with headless Chrome
* Updated login helper to work with new UI (removed .signup/.actions selectors)
* Changed click_on to click_button for specificity
- spec/spec_helper.rb:
* Removed conflicting Capybara.javascript_driver override that was forcing
selenium_headless (which tried to use Firefox)
- config/application.rb:
* Added config.active_support.to_time_preserves_timezone = :zone to opt into
Rails 8.1 behavior and eliminate deprecation warning
## Test Results
Before: 43 failures (driver errors, CSS selector errors)
After: 46 examples, 0 failures, 14 pending ✅
The 14 pending specs are expected - they verify vulnerabilities still exist.
## Platform Requirements
JavaScript tests now require Chrome/Chromium to be installed:
- macOS: Chrome is usually installed
- Ubuntu: `sudo apt-get install chromium-browser chromium-chromedriver`
- Windows: Chrome is usually installed

## Testing
- Application starts successfully and responds to requests
- Test suite runs with 23 examples (14 intentional vulnerability failures)
- Database migrations applied successfully

This upgrade maintains all intentional security vulnerabilities that make
RailsGoat an effective training tool. The failing tests are expected and
demonstrate the vulnerabilities the application is designed to teach.

* use bang version of save methods in the seeds file, so that when you fix validation,
it will at least explode, rather than silently failing to create users
* fix two tests where passwords are hardcoded so that they use stronger passwords,
since password complexity is not the important bit of either of those tests.
When the database is empty, which can happen in the test database and in
the dev database if the seeds.rb aren't applied, the assign_user_id
method would not assign an id and the newer before_filter block to
generate_token would fail.
UserFixture had a password on it that wouldn't pass the new validation
rules once that vulnerability is patched.
