Better Python tests with inline-snapshot

SMRTR summary

inline-snapshot transforms Python testing by automatically generating and updating test assertions for complex data structures. Instead of manually writing tedious expected values, developers write assert result == snapshot() and run pytest --inline-snapshot=fix to auto-generate comprehensive assertions. Combined with dirty-equals for dynamic data handling, this approach makes thorough testing effortless and maintainable across large codebases.
