Research direction

Start by running python -m pytest backend/tests/test_helloworld.py and inspect the backend development-dependency configuration and existing lockfiles. Ensure the declared dependencies provide async pytest support and that CI installs the same dependencies; done means the test command runs cleanly without the async-plugin errors.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Impact:
  • python -m pytest backend/tests/test_helloworld.py fails with “async functions are not natively supported… Unknown pytest.mark.asyncio”.
  • Expected: Tests run clean with the project’s declared dev dependencies.
  • Actual: pytest-asyncio (or any async plugin) isn’t installed/declared, so async tests cannot run.
  • Fix recommendation: Add pytest-asyncio to backend dev dependencies and ensure it’s included in lockfiles/CI.

Happy to also do a pr for this as well!
