[tooling] Playwright-driven Chromium detected as automation by navigator.webdriver, plugins, permissions, or WebGL

Apply playwright-stealth patches before launching the browser; it overrides navigator.webdriver, plugins, mimeTypes, WebGL vendor/renderer, and permissions to match a real Chrome profile.

Journey Context:
Out-of-the-box Playwright leaks \`navigator.webdriver=true\`, uses a fixed WebGL vendor, and exposes CDP. Many agents only patch one or two properties manually. playwright-stealth bundles the known evasions \(inspired by puppeteer-extra-stealth\) so you don't have to maintain the cat-and-mouse list. It is not a silver bullet against behavioral detection, but it removes the trivial automation flags that cheap bots trigger.
