feat: add Cypress setup action with caching support for CI workflows

[kb-typeform]

Summary

Adds comprehensive Cypress support to the frontend PR workflow with a new reusable setup action that provides binary caching to speed up CI runs.

Changes

New Shared Action: setup-cypress

Created a new reusable action (shared-actions/setup-cypress) that:

• Automatic version detection from node_modules or package.json
• Intelligent caching of Cypress binary with version-specific cache keys
• Fallback cache restoration for faster setup across versions
• Installation verification to ensure Cypress is ready for tests

Cypress Integration in Frontend PR Workflow

Enhanced frontend-pr-workflow.yml with two new optional jobs:

Job 8: Cypress Functional Tests (cypress-functional)

• Configurable test command, server start command, and wait-on URL
• Uses new setup-cypress action for optimized binary installation
• Uploads screenshots and videos as artifacts
• Supports Cypress Cloud recording via CYPRESS_RECORD_KEY

Job 9: Cypress Visual Regression Tests (cypress-visual)

• Dedicated job for visual regression testing
• Integration with VRT service (API URL, key, project)
• Tracks branch and commit info for visual diffs
• Separate artifact uploads for visual test results

⚙️ New Configuration Options

Cypress-specific inputs:

• run-cypress-functional / run-cypress-visual - Enable/disable test types
• cypress-functional-command / cypress-visual-command - Test commands
• cypress-functional-start / cypress-visual-start - Server start commands
• cypress-functional-wait-on / cypress-visual-wait-on - URLs to wait for
• cypress-runner - Dedicated runner (defaults to e2e-runner)
• cypress-timeout - Test timeout in minutes (default: 20)

New secrets:

• CYPRESS_RECORD_KEY - For Cypress Cloud recording
• VRT_APIURL, VRT_APIKEY, VRT_PROJECT - For visual regression service

Benefits

• ⚡ Faster CI runs: Binary caching saves time per workflow
• 🔄 Backward compatible: All new inputs are optional with sensible defaults
• 🧪 Flexible testing: Separate functional and visual test jobs
• 📦 Reusable: setup-cypress action can be used in any workflow
