How to fix flaky Playwright crashes and random browser exits in CI?

Random exits are commonly resource-related: low memory, too many workers, or unstable shared CI agents.

Reduce concurrency, enable retries/traces, and isolate heavy suites.

// playwright.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';

export default defineConfig({
  retries: 2,
  workers: process.env.CI ? 2 : undefined,
  use: { trace: 'on-first-retry' },
});

When crashes persist, compare pass/fail runs with traces and browser stderr logs.
