This reduces the Playwright browser download size by ~44% (189MB vs 336MB for full Chromium) while maintaining full web compatibility. Changes: - Update CI to install chromium-headless-shell instead of chromium - Add documentation to capybara.rb about headless shell usage The headless shell uses the same V8 engine and DOM implementation as full Chrome, so all JavaScript-dependent tests work correctly. See: https://playwright.dev/docs/browsers#chromium-headless-shell
