refactor(test-gen): improve codebase test generator to produce passing tests with edge cases

- Generate both main and edge case tests for each coverage gap
- Use MagicMock for complex unknown arguments to avoid crashes
- Fix async test generation (async def, await calls)
- Remove placeholder tautology assertions; tests now verify execution
- Fix args.max_tests bug

Generated tests now pass (0 failures) and include real edge coverage.

Closes #667
