What changed?

Add a separate set of E2E tests that can run against stormbox stage or prod in BrowserStack.

Why?

The existing E2E tests in /tests/e2e (which run in CI against PRs) require a local stormbox dev stack which they make direct DB/cache/JMAP calls etc. and are not built to run in BrowserStack against a deployed stormbox instance; so adding a separate set of E2E tests specifically to be able to run in BrowserStack.

Details

Added a standalone BrowserStack E2E test package under tests/browserstack for UI-only testing against deployed Stormbox stage/prod. This includes its own package.json, package-lock.json, tsconfig.json, and pinned dependencies for Playwright 1.59.1, BrowserStack SDK 1.57.2, and dotenv 16.6.1.

Implemented desktop and mobile basic-ui coverage that signs in through the Stormbox UI using TB Pro credentials from .env.browserstack, then verifies the basic authenticated Stormbox UI appears. Desktop uses a dedicated tests/desktop/auth.desktop.ts setup file to save auth state, while mobile signs in per test.

Added shared constants, auth helpers, and a Stormbox page object for the new suite. Updated the BrowserStack Playwright config to load .env.browserstack and match auth.desktop.ts.

Added tests/browserstack/README.md documenting that these tests target deployed stage/prod only, not the local stack, with setup and run instructions for local Playwright and BrowserStack runs. Added tests/browserstack/.env.browserstack to .gitignore so credentials stay local.

Limitations and Notes

Worked with Codex AI to write this patch.

Applicable Issues

Fixes #17.
