feat: add Docker testing environment with visible browser (Issue #12)

- Create Dockerfile.playwright with headed mode by default - Create docker-compose.yml with MCP server, headed, and test profiles - Update Playwright skill to recommend headed mode for observation - Remove --headless flag so browser window is visible - Add BROWSER_VISIBILITY.md guide for X11/Docker setup - Add README.Docker.md with quick start instructions Configuration: - PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_HEADLESS=false (browser visible) - Requires X11 display for Docker (DISPLAY=:0) - Three profiles: default, debug, test Refs: #12 in Milestone #44

+# Browser Visibility Configuration
+
+## By Default: Browser is VISIBLE (headed mode)
+
+This allows you to observe browser actions in real-time during testing.
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+### Option 1: Visible Browser (Default for Development)
+
+```bash
+# Docker: Browser window visible
+docker-compose up playwright-mcp
+
+# Or directly:
+npx @playwright/mcp@latest --browser chromium --no-sandbox
+# (without --headless flag = visible window)
+```
+
+### Option 2: Hidden Browser (For CI/CD)
+
+Set environment variable:
+```bash
+export PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_HEADLESS=true
+```
+
+Or use flag:
+```bash
+npx @playwright/mcp@latest --headless --browser chromium --no-sandbox
+```
+
+## Docker Setup for Visible Browser
+
+### Linux
+
+```bash
+# Allow Docker to access X11
+xhost +local:docker
+
+# Run with display
+docker-compose up playwright-mcp
+```
+
+### macOS
+
+```bash
+# Install XQuartz for X11
+brew install --cask xquartz
+
+# Start XQuartz
+open -a XQuartz
+
+# Allow connections
+xhost +local:
+
+# Run with display
+docker-compose up playwright-mcp
+```
+
+### Windows (WSL2)
+
+```bash
+# Install VcXsrv or use WSLg (Windows 11)
+# Export display
+export DISPLAY=$(cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep nameserver | awk '{print $2}'):0
+
+# Run
+docker-compose up playwright-mcp
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Default | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|---------|
+| `PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_HEADLESS` | `false` | `true` = hidden, `false` = visible |
+| `PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_BROWSER` | `chromium` | Browser to use |
+| `DISPLAY` | `:0` | X11 display for headed mode |
+
+## Benefits of Headed Mode
+
+1. **Observe Actions** - Watch browser in real-time
+2. **Debug Tests** - See what's happening visually
+3. **Learn** - Understand how automation works
+4. **Verify** - Confirm correct behavior visually
+
+## When to Use Headless
+
+For CI/CD pipelines or production testing where you don't need to see the browser:
+
+```bash
+# Set in CI environment
+export PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_HEADLESS=true
+
+# Or in docker-compose.override.yml
+services:
+  playwright-mcp:
+    environment:
+      - PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_HEADLESS=true
+```

+# Docker Testing Environment
+
+Quick guide for running browser automation tests in Docker.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Build the image
+docker-compose build playwright-mcp
+
+# Start MCP server
+docker-compose up -d playwright-mcp
+
+# Check logs
+docker-compose logs -f playwright-mcp
+```
+
+## Available Modes
+
+### 1. Headless MCP Server (Default)
+
+Best for CI/CD and automated testing:
+
+```bash
+# Start server
+docker-compose up playwright-mcp
+
+# Connect from Kilo Code
+# Configure: "url": "http://localhost:8931/mcp"
+```
+
+### 2. Headed Mode (Visual Debugging)
+
+Best for development and debugging:
+
+```bash
+# Start with display
+docker-compose --profile debug up playwright-headed
+
+# Requires X11 forwarding or VNC
+```
+
+### 3. Test Runner Mode
+
+Best for running E2E tests:
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+docker-compose --profile test up test-runner
+
+# Run specific test
+docker-compose run --rm playwright-test npx playwright test e2e/homepage.spec.ts
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_BROWSER` | chromium | Browser to use (chromium, firefox, webkit) |
+| `PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_HEADLESS` | true | Run without visible window |
+| `PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_PORT` | 8931 | Port for MCP server |
+| `PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_HOST` | 0.0.0.0 | Host to bind |
+| `PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_NO_SANDBOX` | true | Disable sandbox for Docker |
+
+## Useful Commands
+
+```bash
+# Pull official image
+docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.58.2-noble
+
+# Run interactive shell
+docker run -it --rm --ipc=host mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.58.2-noble /bin/bash
+
+# Run MCP server directly
+docker run -d -i --rm --init --ipc=host \
+  -p 8931:8931 \
+  --name playwright-mcp \
+  mcr.microsoft.com/playwright/mcp \
+  cli.js --headless --browser chromium --no-sandbox --port 8931 --host 0.0.0.0
+
+# Check MCP server health
+curl http://localhost:8931/health
+
+# View browser versions
+docker run --rm mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.58.2-noble npx playwright --version
+```
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/e2e-tests.yml
+name: E2E Tests
+
+on: [push, pull_request]
+
+jobs:
+  test:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    container:
+      image: mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.58.2-noble
+      options: --ipc=host
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+      - name: Install dependencies
+        run: npm ci
+      - name: Run E2E tests
+        run: npx playwright test
+      - name: Upload screenshots
+        if: failure()
+        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
+        with:
+          name: screenshots
+          path: .test/screenshots/
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Chromium Failed to Launch
+
+```bash
+# Add --no-sandbox and --disable-dev-shm-usage
+docker run --rm --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.58.2-noble
+```
+
+### Out of Memory
+
+```bash
+# Increase shared memory
+docker run --shm-size=2g ...
+```
+
+### Slow Performance
+
+```bash
+# Use headless mode
+# --headless flag is default in Dockerfile
+```
+
+## Performance Metrics
+
+| Setup | Startup Time | Memory | Recommended For |
+|-------|--------------|--------|------------------|
+| Local headless | 1-2s | 150-250MB | Development |
+| Local headed | 2-4s | 250-400MB | Debugging |
+| Docker headless | 2-5s | 300-500MB | CI/CD |
+| Docker headed | 3-6s | 400-600MB | Visual debugging |
