StepRight - Integration Testing, Packaging and Deployment

Every pipeline, job, and dashboard StepRight has built so far exists only in dev, deployed by hand. This closing section packages the whole project as a Databricks Asset Bundle, adds the integration tests that verify a real deployment (not just isolated logic) works end to end, and automates the entire dev -> uat -> prod promotion path through CI/CD – so that shipping a change to production is a reviewed pull request and one approval click, not a checklist of manual commands.
