E2E workflow hangs after Playwright Chromium download on GitHub Actions

[Matt-Anis]

Problem

The current E2E workflow gets stuck after the Playwright Chromium download completes (100%) and never proceeds to the next step, eventually getting killed by the job timeout with Error: The operation was canceled.

npx playwright install chromium --with-deps downloads a 170MB binary and then hangs silently during the post-extraction phase on ubuntu-latest runners. This is unnecessary because GitHub Actions runners already have Google Chrome pre-installed.

Fix:

Remove the browser install step and add channel: 'chrome' to playwright.config.js to use the system Chrome instead.

See PR #1 for the full fix.

Workaround (until PR is merged):

In playwright.config.js:

jsprojects: [
  {
    name: 'chromium',
    use: { ...devices['Desktop Chrome'], channel: 'chrome' },
  },
],

And remove the npx playwright install chromium --with-deps step from the workflow.

thanks :)
