Description
Let's re-enable admin View Transitions in Chromium after Chromium crash is resolved:
https://issues.chromium.org/issues/530704642
For context, playground disabled admin View Transitions in Chromium-based browsers in https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-playground/issues/3845 because Chromium crashed during the transition.
Follow-up to https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-playground/issues/3845 and PR https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-playground/pull/3886.
What needs to happen
Once the Chromium bug is fixed and available in stable Chrome/Edge:
- Verify the crash no longer reproduces in a stable Chromium-based browser.
- Remove the Chromium-only admin View Transitions workaround from
packages/playground/remote/src/lib/playground-worker-endpoint.ts. - Confirm Playground’s fallback View Transitions and WordPress Core’s
wp-view-transitions-adminstyles can run normally inwp-admin. - Consider whether the
?with-admin-transitionsrepro override is still useful or should be removed with the workaround.

Research direction
Start by checking Chromium issue 530704642 and the workaround in packages/playground/remote/src/lib/playground-worker-endpoint.ts. After the fix reaches stable Chrome or Edge, verify the crash no longer reproduces, then inspect the admin transition behavior and decide whether the ?with-admin-transitions override is still needed. Done means the Chromium-only workaround is removed and fallback transitions and wp-view-transitions-admin styles work normally in wp-admin.
