hello-theme Playwright happy-path refactor plan

Source plan: hello-theme-playwright-happy-path-refactor_12452bce
Scope: themes/hello-theme/.github/workflows

Current implementation status (latest feedback incorporated)

• Create playwright-with-specific-elementor-version-candidate.yml as rollout candidate.
• Keep legacy workflow file unchanged.
• Add test_source input to candidate workflow (workflow_dispatch / workflow_call), default candidate.
• Prefix workflow artifact names with core-${{ inputs.test_source || 'candidate' }}-... for parity and distinguishability.
• Add execution mode visibility line in candidate workflow summary.
• Duplicate daily matrix rows so each core entry runs twice:
  • once via playwright-with-specific-elementor-version.yml with test_source: legacy
  • once via playwright-with-specific-elementor-version-candidate.yml with test_source: candidate
• Keep + workflows unchanged.
• Thread test_source through matrix metadata and artifact naming for comparable reports.
• Run full matrix for both workflow paths (no canary/filtering).

Plan file updates completed

The following plan items were updated as completed in the working plan:

• duplicate-workflow → completed
• run-parallel-matrix → completed
• no-canary-run-all → completed

Remaining work (not yet implemented)

• extract-input-resolver remains pending.
• extract-elementor-download remains pending.
• dedupe-test-setup remains pending.
• unify-test-run remains pending.
• validate-and-guard remains pending.
• extract-runtime bootstrap action remains pending.

Files already changed during rollout wiring

• themes/hello-theme/.github/workflows/playwright-with-specific-elementor-version-candidate.yml
• themes/hello-theme/.github/workflows/daily-test-matrix.yml

Next recommended step

Proceed to steps 1–3 from the original plan (resolver scripts + test-run unification) while retaining the current legacy/candidate matrix structure in place.
