fix(ci): stabilize Python environment and pin dependencies

Pin Python package versions for CI stability:
  - pyyaml 6.0.1
  - pytest 7.4.0
  - All dependencies pinned to specific versions

Improve all CI jobs:
  - Add cache-dependency-path to setup-python
  - Add 'pip cache purge' after Python setup
  - Prevents non-deterministic package installation

This resolves intermittent CI failures (runs appearing to pass/fail randomly).
CI stability improved by ensuring consistent dependency versions across runs.
