playwright install --with-deps runs apt-get update across every apt repo on the runner, including Google's Chrome repo. We never use it — Playwright downloads its own chromium build.

Today that repo served a bad index and the job died four times in a row with E: Failed to fetch .../chrome-stable/deb/... Hash Sum mismatchInstallation process exited with code: 100, on branches with no UI changes. The tests never ran.

The README badge points at this workflow on main, and the repo is public during judging, so red has to mean the tests failed. Removes the unused apt source and retries once.

`playwright install --with-deps` runs `apt-get update` over every repo the runner image has
configured, Google's Chrome repo included. We do not use it — Playwright downloads its own
chromium — but when it published a bad index today (`Hash Sum mismatch` on
dl.google.com/linux/chrome-stable/deb) the whole install exited 100 and took this job down
four times, on branches that had not touched a line of UI code.

The repo is public and the README carries this workflow's badge, so a red E2E during judging
is a claim about our tests. It should not be able to mean "Google was mid-publish". Drop the
repo we do not need, and retry once for an ordinary transient.

The first attempt removed /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list and the job failed
identically: the runner image does not always name it that. Match on dl.google.com instead,
across whatever file declares it.
