Pull request overview

This PR migrates the test infrastructure from Cypress to Vitest + Playwright. The migration separates unit tests (Vitest) from end-to-end tests (Playwright), introducing a dual-project Vitest configuration to run tests in both Node and browser environments. The PR also includes code formatting changes that were likely applied by a linter.

• Migrates all E2E tests from Cypress to Playwright with equivalent assertions
• Updates Vitest configuration to support both Node-based and browser-based unit tests
• Removes Cypress dependencies and adds Playwright and Vitest browser dependencies
• Updates documentation to reflect the new testing approach
