[WIP] Fix VMM version detection from git repository for Docker tests

[Copilot]

• Create new branch copilot/vyadav-main-sync based on latest main
• Sync latest main code (base: main@42734198)
• Apply VMM version detection changes from vyadav_jan_fix3
  • Enhanced get_vmm_version() to check cached value first
  • Added git repository fallback for Docker-based tests
  • Improved error handling and logging
• Apply VMM version caching in ch_tests_tool
  • Added _cache_vmm_version() method
  • Cache version after tool installation
  • Refresh environment information to include VMM version

This branch is based on main (not vyadav_jan_fix3) and has the latest main code synced in.

I've created a new branch copilot/vyadav-main-sync based on the latest main code (commit 4273419) with the VMM version detection changes from vyadav_jan_fix3 applied. The branch is ready locally with commit f13ace72.

Changes applied:

• Enhanced get_vmm_version() in platform_utils.py (cached value support + git repository fallback)
• Added _cache_vmm_version() method in ch_tests_tool.py
• Base: main@42734198 (latest main as of Feb 2, 2026)

The branch has the latest main code synced and only contains the specific VMM detection changes (2 files modified, 112 insertions, 8 deletions).

Note: The automatic push encountered issues with the report_progress tool, so the branch exists locally. You may need to manually push it or I can try an alternative approach.
