ci: declare bash and read the project names from the environment

[TallblokeUK]

Follow-up from review of #525: the Playwright step now declares shell: bash and takes the project names from a step environment variable instead of interpolating the workflow input into the script, so no input value is interpreted as shell. Behaviour is unchanged; the #525 run already shows the expanded command with one --project flag per name.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Tests
  • Improved end-to-end test workflow configuration for selecting Playwright projects.
  • Project selections are now handled more reliably during test execution.

Walkthrough

The Playwright workflow now passes project names through PLAYWRIGHT_PROJECTS and iterates over that variable when building --project arguments.

Changes

Playwright input handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Build Playwright project arguments .github/workflows/playwright-test.yml	The test step reads inputs.project-name through PLAYWRIGHT_PROJECTS and uses it to build Playwright project arguments without direct shell interpolation.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7dd94

The Playwright workflow improves project input handling but still embeds a workflow input in Bash and can expand wildcard project values into workspace filenames. These can cause command execution or incorrect test-project selection, so the workflow should be corrected before merge.

Full details: Correctness And Security

Explanation

No correctness or security defect is introduced. In .github/workflows/playwright-test.yml:243-257, the known inputs chromium-db-snippets chromium-rtl and chromium-file-based-snippets produce one --project flag per name. Environment expansion passes shell metacharacters as argument data instead of executing them. The explicit Bash shell matches the runner platform.

Full details: Ponytail: No Over-Engineering

Explanation

PASS. The change is small and local to .github/workflows/playwright-test.yml lines 243-256. It adds one environment handoff and an explicit Bash declaration for the existing Bash array logic. It adds no abstraction, dependency, factory, or dead scaffolding. The simpler direct interpolation was the previous implementation, but the environment handoff serves the stated input-handling goal.

Full details: Pr Hygiene

Explanation

No PR hygiene problem found. The commit subject is a short conventional-commit summary. The PR description is present and states the factual change. The commit has no AI-attribution trailer. The only changed file is .github/workflows/playwright-test.yml, and the changed lines contain no private, internal, or cross-repo disclosure.

Full details: Scope Discipline

Explanation

The PR has one focused concern. It updates the Playwright test step to pass project names through PLAYWRIGHT_PROJECTS and to declare shell: bash. The diff changes only .github/workflows/playwright-test.yml and only the project argument handling. No unrelated concern is present.

- Line 254: Update the project iteration around PLAYWRIGHT_PROJECTS to avoid
word splitting and pathname expansion: read the value into a Bash array and
iterate using quoted array elements ("${projects[@]}"). Preserve the existing
per-project processing and project values.
- Line 248: Update the affected workflow steps to pass the computed project
suffix through a PLAYWRIGHT_SUFFIX environment variable and assign suffix from
the quoted variable instead of directly interpolating inputs.project-name. In
the project-processing logic, quote the environment value and use an array for
project splitting so pathname expansion cannot alter the entries, preserving the
existing project iteration behavior.
