Testing: Streamline table reset procedure using SA's drop_all_tables

[amotl]

More ergonomic table resets for software tests.

[coderabbitai]

Walkthrough

Introduces a new helper function unblock_all_tables in conftest.py that resets table blocking states for a schema. Both conftest.py and test_integration.py are refactored to replace inlined cleanup logic with inspector-based helper functions for table unblocking and deletion, simplifying schema teardown operations.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Change Summary
Helper Functions & Cleanup Refactoring tests/conftest.py, tests/test_integration.py	Introduces new unblock_all_tables() helper function in conftest.py that iterates over tables in a schema and resets their read-only blocking state via ALTER TABLE statements. Both files refactored to use inspector-based cleanup with unblock_all_tables and drop_all_tables helper functions instead of explicit per-table DROP statements, consolidating cleanup logic.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~12 minutes

• New helper function is straightforward and follows a clear iteration pattern
• Refactoring consistently applies the same helper function calls across files
• Changes are localized to test setup/teardown logic with minimal business logic complexity

Poem

🐰 A bunny hops through cleanup code,
Where tables once blocked the road—
With helper friends both spry and neat,
The teardown dance is now complete!
Less mess, more zen, the schema's freed, ✨
