Description

Playwright recently introduced a watch mode via a new `--ui` flag. While awesome, it doesn't quite meet some other use cases for a "Watch Mode". Namely continuous background validation of tests where a UI might be intrusive, but you still want red/green when test srcs are updated. At that point you might jump in the UI to debug, but by default you're mostly just interested in continuous background validation.

Playwright is also increasingly being used for unit tests or integration tests, where a full browser step through might not be relevant.
