Subject: [PATCH] feat(playwright): retain trace on all test runs for
 e2e-triage agent

Change trace setting from "retain-on-failure" to "on" so traces are
always available, enabling the fullsend e2e-triage agent to compare
passing and failing traces for more accurate root cause analysis.

Bump version to 2.2.0.
