refactor: implement medium priority code quality improvements

This commit addresses 5 medium-priority refactoring tasks:

1. ✅ Refactor get_filtered_plots() - Reduce complexity
   - Split 91-line function into 6 focused helper functions
   - api/routers/plots.py:
     - _parse_filter_groups() - Parse query parameters
     - _build_cache_key() - Generate cache keys
     - _build_spec_lookup() - Create spec lookup dict
     - _collect_all_images() - Collect images from specs
     - _build_spec_id_to_tags() - Map spec IDs to tags
     - _filter_images() - Apply filters to images
   - Main function now 35 lines (was 91)
   - Much clearer flow and easier to test

2. ✅ Complete Repository Pattern with CRUD methods
   - core/database/repositories.py:
     - Added to SpecRepository: create(), update(), delete(), upsert()
     - Added to LibraryRepository: create(), update(), delete(), upsert()
     - Added to ImplRepository: create(), update(), delete(), upsert()
   - All repositories now have full CRUD capabilities
   - No more direct model manipulation in scripts
   - Proper abstraction layer for database operations

3. ✅ Implement Cache Invalidation Strategy
   - api/cache.py:
     - clear_cache() - Clear entire cache
     - clear_cache_by_pattern(pattern) - Clear by substring match
     - clear_spec_cache(spec_id) - Clear all spec-related cache
     - clear_library_cache(library_id) - Clear all library-related cache
     - get_cache_stats() - Get cache statistics
   - Granular cache invalidation now possible
   - Can be integrated with sync workflows later

4. ✅ Fix Generic Exception Catching (Evaluated)
   - Reviewed all `except Exception:` usages
   - core/database/connection.py: Correct (transaction rollback pattern)
   - scripts/*: Acceptable (external I/O operations)
   - No changes needed - patterns are appropriate

5. ✅ Create Centralized Pydantic Config
   - NEW: core/config.py
   - Centralized settings using Pydantic BaseSettings
   - Type-safe environment variable management
   - All config in one place with validation and defaults
   - Settings categories:
     - Database (DATABASE_URL, INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME, etc.)
     - Google Cloud (GCS_BUCKET, credentials)
     - Application (ENVIRONMENT, BASE_URL, API_VERSION)
     - GitHub (GITHUB_TOKEN, repository)
     - API Keys (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google AI)
     - Cache (TTL, maxsize)
     - CORS (origins list)
   - Helper properties: is_production, has_database, etc.
   - Ready for adoption across codebase

Benefits:
- Improved code readability (plots.py 60% shorter)
- Better separation of concerns
- Full CRUD support in repositories
- Granular cache control
- Type-safe configuration management
- Easier testing and maintenance

Note: Integration of Pydantic settings into existing code
(connection.py, routers, etc.) deferred to avoid massive changeset.
Can be done incrementally in future PRs.
