Pull request overview

This PR replaces the prior server-side fetch/axios fixture approach with a nock-based record/replay system intended to make Playwright E2E runs deterministic, while also updating E2E tests/docs and adjusting dependencies/patches to support the new interception behavior.

Changes:

• Introduces a new server-side nock record/replay installer and wires it into the Playwright webserver startup.
• Removes the legacy fixture modules/manifest and deletes existing recorded fixtures.
• Updates E2E tests and testing documentation, plus bumps/patches dependencies used by the new fixture system.
