refactor(tests): improve conversations page tests following best practices

Refactor tests to follow established testing patterns:
- Use service spies instead of MSW to avoid global handler conflicts
- Organize tests with clear describe blocks for better readability
- Extract common setup into beforeEach hooks (DRY principle)
- Use descriptive test names that read like documentation
- Use findBy queries for better async handling
- Add comments to clarify test helpers and setup

All 16 tests passing with improved structure and clarity.
