Add comprehensive unit tests for PatronProfileController

Summary

This PR adds comprehensive unit tests for the PatronProfileController REST API using Spring Boot's @WebMvcTest annotation and Spock framework. The controller previously had zero test coverage despite being a critical 189-line Spring Boot REST controller handling all patron profile operations.

Test Coverage Added:

  • All 8 HTTP endpoints: GET profile, GET/POST/DELETE holds, GET checkouts
  • Request/response mapping and JSON serialization
  • Error scenarios (404, 500 status codes)
  • HATEOAS links and affordances verification
  • Edge cases: empty collections, multiple items, invalid JSON
  • Proper service dependency mocking (PatronProfiles, PlacingOnHold, CancelingHold)

The test follows existing codebase patterns using Spock's given/when/then structure and includes 17 comprehensive test methods covering success cases, error cases, and edge cases.

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

⚠️ CRITICAL - 4 items to verify due to environment limitations during development:

  • Verify tests compile and run successfully - Due to environment compilation issues, these tests could not be executed during development to verify they work correctly
  • Check mock configurations are correct - Verify the @TestConfiguration with DetachedMockFactory properly creates mocks that Spring can inject
  • Validate HATEOAS JSON assertions - Confirm the jsonPath assertions match the actual JSON structure returned by Spring HATEOAS (e.g., $._embedded.holdList, $._links.self.href)
  • Test end-to-end functionality - Run a few manual API calls to compare actual responses with test expectations, especially for collection endpoints and error scenarios

Notes

- Add @WebMvcTest for PatronProfileController with 100% endpoint coverage
- Test all 8 HTTP endpoints: GET profile, GET/POST/DELETE holds, GET checkouts
- Mock all service dependencies: PatronProfiles, PlacingOnHold, CancelingHold
- Test request/response mapping and JSON serialization
- Test error scenarios: 404 for not found, 500 for service failures
- Test HATEOAS links and affordances generation
- Test edge cases: empty collections, multiple items, invalid JSON
- Follow existing Spock test patterns with given/when/then structure
- Achieve comprehensive test coverage for the 189-line controller
