test: cover registered package manager lifecycles

 - **Never skip tests to hide infrastructure problems**: If tests require native binaries (like `pet`), the CI workflow must build/download them. Skipping tests when infrastructure is missing gives false confidence. Build from source (like vscode-python does) rather than skipping. Tests should fail clearly when something is wrong (2)
 - **No retries for masking flakiness**: Mocha `retries` should not be used to mask test flakiness. If a test is flaky, fix the root cause. Retries hide real issues and slow down CI (1)
 - **pet binary is required for environment manager registration**: The smoke/E2E/integration tests require the `pet` binary from `microsoft/python-environment-tools` to be built and placed in `python-env-tools/bin/`. Without it, `waitForApiReady()` will timeout because managers never register. CI must build pet from source using `cargo build --release --package pet` (2)
+- **Check exact project registration with `getPythonProjects()`**: `getPythonProject(uri)` can return a containing parent project, so it cannot prove that a nested project was registered or unregistered (1)

+## [1.2.0]

+### Added
+
+- Added `PackageManagementInteractionOptions` with an optional `runHeadless?: boolean` property, mixed into `PackageManagementOptions`. When `true`, package management operations run without any user prompts or interaction — steps that would normally require input, such as selecting packages to install when none are specified, are skipped instead of prompting — for automated or headless scenarios such as integration tests.
+- Added `RemoveEnvironmentOptions` with an optional `runHeadless?: boolean` property to remove environments without a confirmation prompt in automated or headless scenarios.
