ci(dashboard): Phase 5 P2 — wire Playwright E2E into Gitea CI

Closes the Phase 5 P2 checkbox (second half — first half: pino logging
in 1e64d75). Phase 5 is now fully green.

Two changes:

  1. `web/e2e/hermes.spec.ts` now intercepts `/api/hermes/ops` with a
     fixture snapshot. The backend's hermes-ops endpoint shells out to
     `systemctl` / `git` / `ps` / `du` on the live VM and is therefore
     neither available nor deterministic in CI. Mocking it lets the
     suite run against the web stack alone (no backend, no live VM).
     Fixture shape mirrors the Zod schema in
     `backend/src/modules/hermes-ops/types.ts`.

  2. `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` re-enables the previously-commented-out
     E2E step. Adds a preceding `playwright install --with-deps
     chromium` step so the runner pulls the browser fresh per run.
     The web suite starts its own Next dev server via Playwright's
     `webServer` config (`pnpm exec next dev -p 3200`), so we do NOT
     start the backend in CI — every backend route used by the suite
     is mocked via `page.route` (auth, csrf, services, deployments,
     health/cache, seed, hermes-ops).

Verified locally: `pnpm exec playwright test` → 6 passed in 19.5s
(2 hermes specs + 4 dashboard/login specs across desktop + mobile).

Web client already polls `/deployments/:id/logs` via `apiRequest` — no UI change needed. If a real-time stream is wanted later, implement via `reply.raw` and update docs in the same change.)*

Allow-list wrapper around `docker`/`bash`/`npm` invocations and `projectPath` validation are queued as the next P1s; running the container as non-root and replacing the raw `docker.sock` with a verb-restricted proxy are P2/P3.)*

(2) E2E in CI: hermes spec now intercepts `/api/hermes/ops` with a fixture snapshot so it's deterministic without a live backend; CI workflow runs `playwright install --with-deps chromium` then `pnpm test:e2e` (web suite starts its own Next dev via Playwright's `webServer` config).
