feat: automation hooks and attach-mode state handling on top of shared parallel E2E execution

[yasenltd]

Description: This PR extracts reusable Playwright automation helpers and reorganizes shared utilities into domain-specific modules to reduce duplication and make the automation suite easier to maintain.
• Extract shared local and organization suite setup and teardown helpers
• Move repeated group, settings, and organization test actions into reusable flow helpers and fixtures
• Reorganize automation/utils into focused baselines, crypto, data, db, files, network, runtime, and setup modules
• Convert automationSupport into a thin re-export layer over the new utility modules
• Update automation pages, services, and tests to use the new module structure

Related issue(s):
Fixes #2598

Notes for reviewer:
This is primarily a test automation refactor with no intended functional changes. Review focus:
• extracted helpers under automation/tests/helpers
• utility moves and import rewiring under automation/utils
• suite setup/isolation changes for local and organization tests

Pull request overview

Refactors the Playwright automation suite to better support parallel/shared-environment execution and attach-mode debugging by extracting reusable bootstraps/fixtures/flows, reorganizing automation/utils into domain modules, and updating tests/pages/services to use the new structure and state-preservation controls.

Changes:

• Introduces shared-environment isolation + attach-mode preservation toggles for local app state and backend state.
• Reorganizes automation/utils into focused domains (runtime, setup, db, files, data, crypto, seeding) and makes automationSupport a thin re-export layer.
• Updates suites to use extracted bootstraps/fixtures/flows and (in several suites) recreates seeded fixtures per test.
