      Task

      Optimize Playwright parallel execution. Currently runs with 3 workers. Showcase (~5.4m) and showcase-rbac (~4.7m) run sequentially.

      Background

      Worker count is defined in e2e-tests/playwright.config.ts. The smoke-test dependency (10 retries) gates downstream projects.

      Opportunities:

      1. Benchmark workers at 3, 4, and 5 on CI runner
      2. Validate smoke-test completes in <10s
      3. Profile individual test durations to find slow outliers

      Acceptance Criteria

      • Optimal worker count documented with empirical data
      • Playwright execution reduced from ~10 min to ~7 min
      • No increase in flake rate
