test: split vitest into unit + integration projects

tests/backend-new/specs/** are mock-heavy unit tests that need
per-file isolation (vi.mock must apply before the SUT is loaded,
and a shared module graph defeats it). tests/backend/specs/**
share rustydb and need the old isolate:false sequential model.

Split via test.projects (vitest 4): unit gets isolate:true +
parallelism; integration keeps the existing serial config.
Different sequence.groupOrder values (1 vs 2) are required by
vitest when projects have different maxWorkers settings.
Fixes 8 mock-related test failures in updateStatus, firstAuthorOf,
and updateCheck-optout that came in from the develop merge.
