We need comprehensive unit and integration tests leveraging the TinyBDD library that many of our other tests use.

Not all tests are leveraging the TinyBDD library. We're also on version 0.14.3 of TinyBDD. https://github.com/jerrettDavis/tinybdd
There are extensive docs: https://jerrettdavis.github.io/TinyBDD/user-guide/index.html

Updated to TinyBDD version 0.14.3 and completely rewrote all tests to properly use the fluent API with Given().When().Then() chains. All 17 tests now leverage the TinyBDD library correctly with Task.Run() wrappers to avoid async/await ambiguities. Tests include:
All tests passing. Commit: b31fb47 |

<issue_title>[Feature] [Governance] Durable Persistence Backplanes for Experiment Governance</issue_title>
<issue_description>#### Summary
Add durable persistence backplanes for governance-related state, including experiment lifecycle, approvals, configuration versions, policies, and history.
With the governance model and APIs in place (via PR #16 and PR #18), consumers often desire durable, replayable, and queryable storage for governance state so that lifecycle decisions, approvals, and policy evaluations survive restarts, deployments, and multi-process environments.
This feature focuses on persistence, not new governance concepts.
Problem
The governance system now defines:
However, governance state is currently in-memory or implementation-defined, which limits:
Consumers often need governance state to be treated as authoritative system data, not ephemeral runtime state.
Goals
Governance Data to Persist
Persistence backplanes should support, at minimum:
All persisted data should be append-friendly and version-aware.
Proposed Backplane Connectors
1) SQL-based backplane
A relational persistence backplane (e.g., SQL Server, Postgres).
Capabilities:
Use cases:
2) Redis / key-value backplane
A fast, distributed persistence backplane for coordination.
Capabilities:
Use cases:
3) Event-sourced backplane (optional / extensibility target)
A log-based persistence model where governance state is derived from events.
Capabilities:
This does not require building a full event-sourcing framework, only ensuring the governance model can emit and consume events.
Concurrency and conflict handling (Critical)
Persistence backplanes must define and enforce:
Example conflicts:
Integration with Governance APIs
Persistence must be transparent to consumers using:
Backplanes should be selected via DI and configuration, not hardcoded.
Example (illustrative):
DSL Compatibility
Governance persistence must be configurable through the ExperimentBuilder YAML/JSON DSL.
Requirements:
Example (illustrative):
