Each role's Playwright spec is staged the same way `test-e2e-playwright` does at deploy time (central config + personas tree + service-gating) and `npx playwright test --list` runs against it. `--list` skips the browser launch and any test body, so this catches refactor regressions like missing helpers, broken exports, or syntax errors in seconds instead of waiting for a full deploy. Stub env values keyed off the variable-name suffix satisfy the few specs that build URLs or call `.replace()` at module-load time.
Parallelism caps at `INFINITO_WORKER_CPU` (same env knob as `scripts/make/parallel.sh`); output is replayed in `SPEC_FILES` order after all workers drain so stdout stays deterministic. `@playwright/test` ships as a devDep via the existing eslint `npm ci`. Workflow wires into `ci-orchestrator.yml` behind the `lint-gate`.
