Ken Johnson 7712f5867f Fix test failures on Ubuntu and other platforms (issue #486)
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

Fixes #486
