fix: install Playwright globally in CI without changing lockfile

- Revert root package.json dependency changes to avoid lockfile conflicts
- Update CI workflow to install Playwright globally via npm install -g
- Ensure Playwright browsers are available for all projects without lockfile changes
- Maintain CI compatibility while providing Playwright support

This approach avoids the frozen-lockfile error in CI while ensuring
Playwright is available for all projects that need it.
