ci: take the workflow input through the environment in both Playwright steps

[TallblokeUK]

Follow-up from review of #526. Both steps that build the log and report suffix now read it from a step environment variable, so the workflow input is no longer interpolated into any script; the project names are read into an array before iterating, so nothing is subject to pathname expansion. The suffix text is unchanged, so downstream steps that look for the log by name are unaffected.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved automated browser test execution when running multiple projects.
  • Prevented project names and report suffixes from being misinterpreted by the shell, producing more reliable test results and reports.

Walkthrough

The workflow passes Playwright values through environment variables. It safely tokenizes multiple project names before building arguments and uses the environment suffix during report normalization.

Changes

Playwright workflow execution

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Safe Playwright project arguments .github/workflows/playwright-test.yml	The Playwright test step reads PLAYWRIGHT_SUFFIX and PLAYWRIGHT_PROJECTS from the environment. It tokenizes project names with read -ra before building --project arguments. Report normalization also reads PLAYWRIGHT_SUFFIX from the environment.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 66151

An empty project input could run a broader Playwright test selection than intended. Add input validation before tokenization to make the workflow behavior explicit and safe.

Full details: Correctness And Security

Explanation

PASS. The diff in .github/workflows/playwright-test.yml lines 243-270 moves the suffix to step environment variables and quotes its shell use. Lines 255-258 split project names into an array and quote each argument, which prevents pathname expansion and shell interpretation. The current callers use valid project names, and the suffix remains unchanged for downstream report and log paths. No correctness or security failure was introduced.

Full details: Ponytail: No Over-Engineering

Explanation

No needless complexity is introduced. In .github/workflows/playwright-test.yml lines 243-260, read -ra and the quoted array loop prevent pathname expansion while preserving multiple project arguments. In lines 265-270, the step environment avoids direct input interpolation in the report step. These changes use existing Bash features and add no abstraction or dependency.

Full details: Pr Hygiene

Explanation

No PR hygiene problem found. The title uses a conventional-commit form and is 76 characters. The description is present and gives a factual change summary. The commit has no AI-attribution trailer. The changed lines in .github/workflows/playwright-test.yml:243-270 contain no private, internal, or cross-repo disclosure.

Full details: Scope Discipline

Explanation

The PR is scope-disciplined. The exact diff changes only .github/workflows/playwright-test.yml. Both changes address one concern: safe handling of Playwright workflow inputs in shell steps. The suffix moves to PLAYWRIGHT_SUFFIX in the test and report steps at lines 244-270. Project names use an array at lines 255-258 to prevent pathname expansion. No unrelated feature, test, or documentation change is present.
