fix(ci): pin Lighthouse Chromium and stop advisory Chrome-drift fails

[BigSimmo]

Summary

• Diagnose PR fix(navigation): wire the forms section anchors, drop the dead presentation set #1697 advisory failure: Lighthouse budget (advisory) exited 1 with Evidence incomplete because the committed baseline was measured on HeadlessChrome/151 while that job measured on HeadlessChrome/150. Metrics were fine; required PR required was already green and the PR had merged.
• Pin Chromium for the pre-merge Lighthouse job through Playwright (setup-ui-e2e + CHROME_PATH) so the browser only moves with the lockfile, not the ubuntu image Chrome rollout.
• While enforce is still false, treat baseline browser mismatch as a warning (exit 0) instead of a hard fail; once enforce flips, mismatch still fails closed until --update.
• Fix the --update catch-22: baseline-comparability checks (Chrome drift / missing rows) no longer block a refresh that exists to rewrite them.

Verification

• Reproduced PR fix(navigation): wire the forms section anchors, drop the dead presentation set #1697 artifact grade: same Chrome 151 vs 150 mismatch now exits 0 with ::warning::check:lighthouse-budget — baseline browser mismatch — refresh with --update
• Proved --update --dir <artifact> succeeds (exit 0) against that Chrome-drift evidence, then restored lighthouse-budget.json (did not commit system-Chrome 150 numbers; CI will restamp on pinned Playwright Chromium)
• Direct Node contract assertions for warn/fail/update-skip/CI pin/table label: PASS
• Verification not run: full npm run test / verify:pr-local — shared node_modules junction was mid-mutation and the repo heavy-run lock was held by another worktree; CI will run the lighthouse unit suite and workflow contracts on this head

Risk and rollout

• Risk: Advisory Lighthouse may warn (not fail) on browser mismatch until the baseline is restamped on the pinned Playwright Chromium after this lands. Once enforce is true, mismatch still fails.
• Rollback: Revert this commit; advisory job returns to system Chrome and hard-fail on major drift.
• Provider or production effects: None

Notes

• Does not change product UI or retrieval behaviour.
• Follow-up for #118: after this merges, download a green lighthouse artifact measured with the pinned Chromium and run npm run check:lighthouse-budget -- --update before flipping enforce.

Warning

Review limit reached

You’ve reached a temporary PR review limit under our Fair Usage Limits Policy.

Your recent review volume is higher than typical usage, so adaptive limits are currently applied.

Next review available in:31 minutes

Your organization has reached its usage spending cap. Adjust your spending cap in the billing tab.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Superseded by #1716, which merged the same fix (pin Playwright's managed Chromium for the lighthouse-budget job instead of relying on the ambient ubuntu-24.04 runner Chrome). #1716 was a minimal, workflow-only change — it doesn't modify check-lighthouse-budget.mjs's fail-closed grading contract the way this PR does — and was live-validated on a manual workflow_dispatch run before merge (Lighthouse budget (advisory) went from consistent failure to success).

Closing this to avoid duplicate/conflicting work on the same job. Thanks for the diagnosis work here — the root-cause analysis (Chrome 150/151 drift across the runner fleet) matches what landed.
