fix: test database setup and scheduling test build error

- Add explicit verification loop in local-dev-2.sh to wait for crussell_test database to be ready before running tests (prevents race condition)
- Remove unused 'handler' variable declaration in scheduling_test.go that was breaking the build
- Tests now properly execute without immediate 'database does not exist' errors
- Real test failures are now visible instead of being masked by setup issues
