[Feature]: Trace viewer: Add timeout-risk highlighting for actions in Playwright traces

[scott-au]

🚀 Feature Request

It would be useful if Playwright traces could visually highlight actions based on how close they came to their configured timeout. It seems like the trace file for the most part has all of the info to work this out.

Example

something so it can searched for in the Filter Actions seach box ?

(ms paint mockup)

Motivation

Many tests pass successfully but still contain actions that regularly run close to their timeout limit. For example, an action that takes 25 seconds with a 30 second timeout may pass, but it is likely to become flaky when the environment is slower.

This should be obvious to your agent - try using trace-cli and ask it if any of the actions are at risk.

I guess not everyone would have access/authority to use AI within corporate settings.

This will probably make more sense as a warning on the test run, no need to hide it in the trace viewer btw.

I just figured that was the best place so that the other languages would also benefit from this feature (as a user of playwright-python)
