fix(developer): install Playwright and its browsers - #125

Conversation
Playwright defines dependencies per release. The role leaves the apt package list to Playwright. The CLI installs through uv without a version pin. On apt hosts, `playwright install-deps` installs system libraries. Its `--dry-run` check keeps converged hosts reporting no change. Browsers install as the target user. On apt hosts, the run fails after install-deps if libavif or libmanette is missing. This catches missing WebKit libraries if a future Playwright release drops either dependency. Playwright does not support Fedora. Fedora gets the CLI through uv and libavif and libmanette from dnf. Tag: playwright.

playwright install-depsadds system libraries from Playwright's list for the host release. A--dry-runprobe keeps a converged host at changed=0.~/.cache/ms-playwright.Tag:
playwright. Playbook syntax and ansible-lint checks pass. Local dpkg-query assert checks pass for both success and failure cases. The apt install-deps path requires root and has no local or CI test coverage.
