Bump @playwright/test from 1.59.1 to 1.60.0 so that bunx playwright install stops hanging on Node 24.16 and later.

Problem

On Node 24.16+ and Node 26, bunx playwright install hangs forever after the download reaches 100%. The process never extracts the browser and never exits. Agents hit this in almost every session.

Cause

Fix

  • Set the workspace catalog entry for @playwright/test to 1.60.0. This is the smallest release with the fix; there is no 1.60.x patch release.
  • bun install updated bun.lock: @playwright/test, playwright, and playwright-core now resolve to 1.60.0.
  • packages/app, packages/session-ui, and packages/storybook use catalog:, so no other manifests change.
  • The browser cache key in .github/workflows/test.yml reads the catalog version, so it rolls over automatically. No other file hardcodes 1.59.1 or a browser revision.
  • The browser revision moves from chromium-headless-shell v1217 to v1223 (Chrome Headless Shell 148.0.7778.96).

Verification

Windows, Node 26.8.1:

  • bunx playwright install chromium-headless-shell downloaded v1223, extracted it, and exited 0 in 22 s.
  • bunx playwright test e2e/regression/timeline-geometry.spec.ts in packages/app: 8 passed in 19.6 s.

Looks good: a minimal catalog bump, and the lockfile resolves @playwright/test, playwright and playwright-core to 1.60.0. On Linux with Node 24.21 I couldn't reproduce the hang with 1.59.1 (extraction finished fine), so I'm relying on your Windows/Node 26 run for that. With this PR, playwright install chromium-headless-shell fetches and extracts v1223 and exits cleanly, and packages/app type-checks. The CI browser cache key follows the catalog version, so it rolls over on its own.

Public API: unchanged (dev dependency only).

One leftover: .github/workflows/test.yml still pins node-version: "24.15" with the comment "Playwright 1.59 hangs while extracting Chromium with Node 24.16." With 1.60.0 that workaround is stale, and it could be dropped here or in a follow-up so CI exercises the Node version the fix targets.
