ajmallesh dcae34af81 fix: enable Playwright MCP browser automation in Docker containers ...

Resolves Playwright browser installation failures in Docker by using Wolfi's
system Chromium instead of downloading Playwright's bundled browsers at runtime.

## Problem
When running in Docker, agents attempted to install browsers via `browser_install`
tool, which failed due to:
- Permission issues (non-root user couldn't install system dependencies)
- npx @playwright/mcp spawns with its own Playwright dependency separate from
  global installations
- Playwright's bundled browsers require runtime download (~280MB) and glibc deps
- Environment variables alone (PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH) weren't sufficient

## Solution
**Dockerfile changes:**
- Use Wolfi's native `chromium` package (guaranteed compatible, already installed)
- Remove Playwright browser installation step (saves ~280MB and build time)
- Add explicit `SHANNON_DOCKER=true` environment variable for reliable detection
- Set PLAYWRIGHT_CHROMIUM_EXECUTABLE_PATH to point to system Chromium

**Code changes (claude-executor.js):**
- Detect Docker via `process.env.SHANNON_DOCKER` (more reliable than /.dockerenv)
- Conditionally add `--executable-path /usr/bin/chromium-browser` CLI arg for Docker
- Local: Use Playwright's bundled browsers (downloaded to ~/Library/Caches/)
- Docker: Use system Chromium with no runtime downloads

## Research Findings
- @playwright/mcp has separate playwright-core dependency (v1.56.0-alpha)
- MCP server spawned via npx doesn't inherit browser binaries from global install
- --executable-path CLI argument is required (env vars insufficient)
- /.dockerenv file is unreliable (missing in BuildKit, K8s, can be spoofed)

## Testing
✅ Docker: All 5 parallel agents successfully navigate, screenshot, create deliverables
✅ Local: All 5 parallel agents successfully navigate, screenshot, create deliverables
✅ No browser_install calls, no permission errors
✅ Image size reduced by ~280MB
