📝 Description

Fixed E2E Test Infrastructure and Added Web Auth Flow Tests

This PR fixes multiple issues with the E2E test setup and adds comprehensive web authentication tests.

Issues Fixed

Issue	Root Cause	Solution
TypeScript error on expect().status()	Missing await before request.post()	Added await and fixed assertion syntax
Tests running in wrong order	Parallel execution of dependent tests	Added test.describe.configure({ mode: 'serial' })
Missing name field in sign-up	Better Auth requires name for registration	Added name to user object and request
Port conflict with Docker Playwright	Browser server and API both on 3000	Moved Docker browser server to port 3001
Browser can't reach frontend	Docker container using localhost	Uses hostmachine alias via --add-host
Missing API_URL env var	Tests couldn't find API endpoint	Added to .env.test
