What happens when you cancel and then rerun the workflow?

Edit: I can repro locally, both in an interactive and non-interactive shell, bash and zsh, but only when running through vp, not pnpm. Will do some more digging tomorrow if no one beats me to it. (vite-plus installed via mise and https://github.com/markmals/mise-vite-plus)

This might be an upstream vp/vite issue. The workaround would be to exec via pnpm or npm instead.

Edit: also worth noting that playwright redownloads on the next run when invoked via vp, despite having reached 100%.

Playwright hangs at pw:install extracting archive. Relevant issue: microsoft/playwright#39692

[mootari]

... In summary: This is a bad interaction with Node 24.16.0 (which vp includes) in the yauzl library which Playwright uses to extract the archive. The actual workaround is to pin Node to 24.15.0 until Playwright publishes a new release with the updated dependency.

Edit: @serhalp found that a fix has already been published in Playwright 1.60, so we'd only need to update.
