Description

I don't see the playwright tests being sharded and running on every pull and push to be needed. I moved to just PRs on ym major release or main branches. Also moved to one shard. Running 4 just increases the ci minutes by 4 and doesn't really speed up the process of wall time. Just wanted to see what people though before I submitted a PR to undo this. I think that this is costing people money needlessly for no good benefit unless you have hundreds of tests.
