## Problem

Playwright CI jobs were hanging for 2–6 hours and then timing out
without running a single test. Root cause: `npx playwright install
--with-deps chromium` downloads the browser binary successfully (~3s),
but the `--with-deps` flag then runs a second `apt-get` call that waits
indefinitely for the dpkg lock held by Ubuntu's `unattended-upgrades`
background daemon on ubicloud runners.

Evidence: in a 2h8m run, Chromium downloaded at `08:51:49`, but the
`playwright install` process was still listed as a zombie when the job
was killed at `11:00:23`.

## Fix

Two-layer fix applied to all four workflow files (`playwright.yml` +
`playwright_regression.yml` in both OSS and enterprise):

**1. Kill background apt services at job start** (new first step)
```bash
sudo systemctl stop apt-daily.service apt-daily-upgrade.service unattended-upgrades.service
sudo systemctl stop apt-daily.timer apt-daily-upgrade.timer
sudo systemctl disable apt-daily.service apt-daily-upgrade.service unattended-upgrades.service
sudo flock --wait 30 /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend true
```
This eliminates the root cause — the dpkg lock contender is gone before
`playwright install` runs.

**2. Cache the browser binary** (`actions/cache@v4` keyed on
`package-lock.json` hash)

On cache hit, only system dependencies are installed (`playwright
install-deps chromium`), avoiding apt entirely. On cache miss, the full
`playwright install --with-deps chromium` runs with apt services already
stopped.

**3. Filter TestDino uploads to failures only**

Before uploading to TestDino, the JSON report is filtered to only
include tests with `status === 'unexpected'`. This prevents passing
tests from polluting the TestDino failure history.

## Files changed
- `.github/workflows/playwright.yml` — kill apt, cache browser,
cache-aware install, TestDino filter
- `.github/workflows/playwright_regression.yml` — kill apt, cache
browser, split into separate npm/playwright/test steps
