test: Add tests for CheckPdfAttachments feature

- Unit tests for CheckPdfAttachmentsQueryHandler (3 tests)
- Integration tests for PdfAttachmentController (14 tests covering both multipart and JSON endpoints)
- Tests verify: attachment detection, metadata extraction, empty PDF handling, validation errors
- All tests using Stream API (mocks with It.IsAny<Stream>())
- Total: 17 new tests, all passing
