Description

As the title mentions, the current CI implementation and Cloudflare Solver being used locally is very slow and very error prone, it fails a lot of time randomly in the integration tests.

We need to enhance the CI to make sure the Integration tests stay consistent or come up with a better way to do integration tests with live Akinator API.

You can check any one of the failed Actions to see exactly how and where it is failing.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Start by looking at the existing CI workflow (e.g., .github/workflows) to understand how integration tests run. Check the latest failed GitHub Actions runs to see why they fail intermittently. The problem involves Cloudflare challenges blocking requests. Investigate ways to make the solver more robust, such as retry logic, alternative solvers, or mocking the Akinator API in tests. Propose an improvement or a new approach for consistent integration testing.
