## Summary
- serve the release workflow's already-built `dist` from the production
Playwright gate
- preserve the existing auto-build behavior for standalone local
production tests
- keep the pre/post `dist` inventory guard strict and unchanged
## Root cause
The release workflow built and fingerprinted `dist`, but Playwright then
launched `preview:prod`, which ran a second Vite build. Timestamped
build metadata changed hashed chunks and caused the integrity comparison
to fail after all 26 production browser tests had passed.
## Verification
- production Playwright gate: 26/26 passed
- pre/post inventory: 735 files, zero changes
- release package validation: 735 files passed
- ESLint passed
- Prettier passed
- release package unit tests: 7/7 passed
- workflow YAML parsed successfully
- no test files changed
