test(templates): cover instance_seed helper and update service tests

Add tests/service_testing/test_instance_seed.py — pins NODE_NAME to assert
determinism of seeded functions and sweeps NODE_NAMEs to assert cross-fleet
divergence. Conftest gains load_real_instance_seed() so template tests see
the real seeding behavior instead of a stub. Existing template tests updated
to pin NODE_NAME and match seeded outputs.
