fix(ci): run browser checks when Ubuntu package mirrors are unavailable #916
Description
Failure
The normal browser jobs install operating-system packages on every GitHub-hosted runner before starting Chromium. On November 11, Ubuntu archive DNS failures stopped the mock job and the live Kind suites on both amd64 and arm64. The same PR commit failed again on a fresh runner. The matching mock suite passed earlier, and the same-commit retry failed before loading a test. The ARM64 logs show the corresponding failure fetching ports.ubuntu.com.
This blocks independent PRs #903, #906, #910 and #911. One shared change in CI can serve all four.
Acceptance
Use the Playwright and Chromium versions pinned by the repository. On runners with a usable browser runtime, verify that Chromium can launch, render and record video before running the existing suites. When the runner lacks required dependencies, retain an explicit installation path and report setup failures. Keep both live architectures, the mock suite, authentication, the local Kind/API connections, file-download assertions and test artifacts. Qualify the change with actual mock and live runs.

All browser checks passed at signed commit 3829f05. The regular mock suite passed 83 cases in 3.8 minutes with 55 mode-specific skips. The live Kind suites passed 61 cases each, with 77 mode-specific skips per architecture. The amd64 suite took 7.4 minutes and arm64 took 6.0 minutes. Both used the original bootstrap admin session, real API port-forward and colocated browser. Mock · Live amd64 · Live arm64 · CI report
