test-logic-and-interface CI hangs indefinitely on "Install dependencies"

[michielbdejong]

Problem

.github/workflows/test-logic-and-interface.yml pins Node 14.x and runs npm run setup (npm install --no-save && olsk-bundle). I watched two separate runs on this repo stall forever on the "Install dependencies" step (30+ minutes, never completing):

• https://github.com/pondersource/hyperdraft/actions/runs/30094992300
• https://github.com/pondersource/hyperdraft/actions/runs/30094906752

Locally, installing the same dependency tree reproduces a related failure: a nested dependency pulls in @playwright/test@1.25.0, whose postinstall runs npx playwright install chromium unconditionally. On Node 14 in a restricted-network environment this either errors (Failed to download Chromium ... Socket is closed) or, on a real Actions runner, appears to just hang rather than erroring out.

Impact

This check can never go green as configured — it will keep queuing/hanging on every push and PR.

Suggested next steps

• Upgrade the pinned Node version (14.x is EOL) and/or the toolchain's Playwright dependency to a version that respects PLAYWRIGHT_SKIP_BROWSER_DOWNLOAD/doesn't auto-download a browser on install.
• Consider whether npx start-server-and-test ... 'olsk-spec-ui' even needs Playwright's own browser download, given a project may already provide one.

This predates and is unrelated to the GitHub Pages deploy work in #1 — it was already hanging on main before that PR.

Update: opened PR #9 with the fix described above (PLAYWRIGHT_SKIP_BROWSER_DOWNLOAD=1 + Node/actions version bumps). Confirmed on the PR's own CI run that the indefinite hang is gone — the job now completes in ~3 minutes instead of running 30–100+ minutes without finishing.

However, getting past that hang exposed two further, pre-existing failures later in the same job (Build and Test steps) that were previously unreachable because the pipeline never got that far:

• an unpatched Svelte import (OLSKAppToolbar/.../OLSKReloadButton/main.svelte)
• Cannot find module 'OLSKString' in the test suite

Filed as #10 — looks like a separate, deeper race in olsk-bundle's own setup script (it spawns a second, un-awaited npm install in the background). That's beyond the scope of this issue and not something I can safely fix blind, so I'm leaving PR #9 open unmerged for now rather than merging a "fix" that doesn't actually get this check green. Once #10 is resolved this issue's PR should be re-checked.
