Title: Consolidate e2e tests: Migrate BASH to GO framework

Problem

Two separate e2e test suites exist for live functionality (acknowledged in e2e/README.md as needing reconciliation):

• GO-based (e2e/live_test.go): declarative fixture tests
• BASH-based (e2e/live/end-to-end-test.sh): procedural scenario tests

Both run every PR, creating maintenance burden and scenario duplication.

Solution

Single unified GO-based e2e test suite handling all scenarios.

Implementation approach

1. Extend GO test framework for sequential scenarios

   • Add multi-step test support to pkg/test/runner
   • Create scenario YAML format (like current fixtures)
   • No Ginkgo/Gomega needed - standard Go testing sufficient

2. Restructure test infrastructure

   • Move pkg/test/runner/ → e2e/framework/runner/
   • Move pkg/test/live/ → e2e/framework/live/
   • Clarifies: production code in pkg/, e2e infrastructure in e2e/

3. Migrate all BASH scenarios to fixtures

   • Init commands and variations
   • Stdin input handling
   • Error and RBAC scenarios
   • Symlink handling
   • Custom filename support

4. Add multi-version testing via matrix

   • Parametrize K8s version in framework
   • Use GitHub Actions matrix for parallel testing
   • Replaces BASH version loop

5. Clean up

   • Delete e2e/live/end-to-end-test.sh
   • Delete .github/workflows/e2eEnvironment.yml
   • Consolidate to single workflow

What gets migrated

20+ BASH scenarios covering:

• Initialization (init, init --force, init --quiet, custom filenames)
• Stdin operations (apply/status/destroy from stdin)
• Error handling (RBAC, continue-on-error)
• Advanced scenarios (symlinks, custom ResourceGroup names)
• Multi-version testing (K8s 1.21-1.36)

Benefits

Single maintainable suite, no new dependencies, cleaner project structure, faster tests, full coverage retained.
