Update health endpoint and refine test documentation

- Modified the health endpoint to return "None" for AI availability when inference is not initialized, improving clarity on system status.
- Enhanced the test documentation to include handling of skipped tests, emphasizing the need for investigation before proceeding.
- Updated test assertions to ensure proper execution order and prevent premature engine initialization.
- Refactored test cases to streamline performance testing and improve readability, removing unnecessary complexity.

These changes aim to enhance the robustness of the health check and improve the overall testing framework.
