 In 6.4, the E2E tests switched to using Playwright. Earlier branches
 continue to utilize Puppeteer (see [56926]).

 Recently, the E2E testing workflow in 6.3 and earlier has
 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/actions/runs/13888222347
 started] to [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/actions/runs/13888222350 fail]. The failures are caused by the
 `npx install playwright --with-deps` command. This step is not necessary
 for older branches because Playwright is not even used.
