Fix e2e tests to work with WordPress Playground.

- Simplified blueprint to generate 15 posts with wp-cli (faster setup)
- Updated tests to work with randomly generated posts instead of specific titles
- Tests now verify core functionality: visibility, selection, search, multiple selection
- All 9 tests passing in 1.2 minutes

Tests verify the fix for #142 by ensuring search functionality works correctly
and posts can be selected from the controls.
