Attempt to fix UI coverage

[SchrodingersGat]

Changes

• Split frontend tests into separate workflow file (due to increased complexity)
• Split firefox and chromium into separate workflows

Firefox Build

• Compiles frontend code first
• Runs playwright tests against compiled code (on port :8000)
• Does not run coverage

Chromium Build

• Runs playwright tests against dev server (on port :5173)
• Runs coverage
• Is split into multiple shards (single shard takes over 1 hour for all our tests)

---

By running separate workflows for firefox and chromium we gain the following advantages:

• Reduce run time (due to parallel workflows)
• Test dev (5173) and prod (8000) UI code

It would appear that changing from using compiled UI code to the vite live-load is causing the playwright tests to timeout entirely..

Pull request overview

This pull request aims to improve Web UI test coverage reporting by ensuring Playwright-driven unit tests run against the instrumented (dev) UI and by explicitly uploading the generated LCOV report to Codecov.

Changes:

• Force Playwright baseURL to the Vite dev server (http://localhost:5173) to better support collecting UI coverage.
• Configure the QC GitHub Actions workflow to upload src/frontend/coverage/lcov.info to Codecov for the web flag.
