-This PR adds comprehensive automated test coverage for the core error handling system in InVesalius.
A new test suite (tests/test_error_handling.py) has been introduced to validate the behavior of the error_handling.py module, which provides centralized error categorization, exception handling, decorators, and crash reporting across the application.
Summary of changes

Tests validate:
ErrorCategory and ErrorSeverity enums
Base and custom exception classes
Error-handling decorators
System information collection and crash reporting
Global error handler and error dialog behavior
Achieved 95%+ code coverage for error_handling.py
All tests pass successfully (49/49, ~0.21s execution time)
Updated requirements.txt to use python-gdcm==3.0.24.1 for improved macOS compatibility
Added supporting documentation:
TESTING_PR_SUMMARY.md
IMPLEMENTATION_COMPLETE.md
Impact
