[plan] Add minimal Playwright visual regression example workflow for Frontend Developer persona #28544

@github-actions

Description

@github-actions

Objective

Add a minimal Playwright visual regression example to the agentic workflow reference documentation or as a shared snippet to better serve Frontend Developer personas.

Context

From discussion #28538 (Agent Persona Exploration 2026-04-26), the agent persona analysis identified that Frontend Developer scenarios (especially visual regression with Playwright) are underserved compared to Backend/DevOps patterns. The agent instructions reference Playwright support, but there are few example workflows to guide users.

Approach

  1. Create a minimal example workflow (e.g., visual-regression-checker.md) that demonstrates:
    • Trigger: pull_request: types: [opened, synchronize]
    • Playwright tool configuration with version pin
    • Network permissions for the app's domain
    • Agent prompt for visual comparison and accessibility snapshot
    • Safe-outputs add-comment with the report
  2. Add this to the appropriate examples directory or reference it from .github/aw/github-agentic-workflows.md
  3. Ensure the workflow compiles cleanly

Files to Create/Modify

  • Create: a visual-regression-checker.md example workflow
  • Update: .github/aw/github-agentic-workflows.md to reference the Playwright example in the tools section

Acceptance Criteria

  • Example workflow compiles without errors
  • Playwright tool is configured with a pinned version
  • Network access is appropriately scoped
  • A comment safe-output reports the visual regression result
  • Workflow is linked or mentioned in agent instructions
