DhanushSantosh 89a960629a fix: Improve E2E test workflow for better backend debugging
Enhanced backend server startup in CI:
- Track server PID and process status
- Save logs to backend.log for debugging
- Better error detection with process monitoring
- Added cleanup step to kill server process
- Print backend logs on test failure

Improves reliability of E2E tests by providing better diagnostics when backend fails to start
