fix: resolve environment validation test failures

- Add environment variable support for testing in NodeJSChecker and ClaudeCodeChecker
- Update test file to use environment variables instead of mocking
- Fix all 6 failing tests in test_req_006_environment_validation.py
- Tests now properly simulate missing Node.js, incompatible versions, and missing Claude Code
- All 21 environment validation tests are now passing
