Description

**Describe the bug**
On Windows, running poetry run uvicorn main:app --reload --port 7001 crashes with NotImplementedError during Playwright startup probe. This happens because uvicorn --reload defaults to SelectorEventLoop on Windows, which does not support child process transports needed by Playwrigh

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Run the project on Windows.
2. In backend/, run poetry run uvicorn main:app --reload --port 7001.
3. Watch terminal during startup.
4. See error: Task exception was never retrieved: NotImplementedError.

**Screenshots of backend AND frontend terminal logs**
