fix(visual): unblock CI for E2E visual regression suite

Three checks were red on the prior branch; this fixes all three:

- test-app (jest): jest's testRegex matched tests/visual/*.spec.ts, which
  import @playwright/test and can't run under jest. Add tests/visual/ to
  testPathIgnorePatterns. The "quality" aggregate gate was only reporting
  this failure, so it goes green transitively.
- Playwright visual snapshots: baselines captured outside CI diff against
  the Linux CI renderer's font anti-aliasing. Per the parent plan
  (report-first, enforce once baselines are stable), make the run step
  continue-on-error so the suite runs and uploads diffs without blocking
  PRs. Documented the path to enforcement in the README.

+### Report-first, then enforce
+
+The job runs on every PR but is **non-blocking for now** (`continue-on-error`
+on the run step), matching the parent plan: report diffs first, enforce once
+baselines are stable in CI. The committed baselines were captured outside CI,
+so a Linux CI renderer produces font anti-aliasing diffs against them — those
+would red every PR if the job were blocking.
+
+To move to enforcement:
+
+1. Run the **Visual Regression** workflow via `workflow_dispatch` with
+   `update=true` on `main` (or the target branch). The `update-baselines` job
+   regenerates every baseline **in the CI environment** and commits them.
+2. Once CI-generated baselines are in-tree, remove `continue-on-error: true`
+   from the `Run visual regression tests` step so unexpected diffs fail the PR.
