fix(e2e): start smoke stack in CI instead of skipping tests

- deployment/docker-compose.smoke.yml: stock-image stack (nginx stub
  gateway + real phpMyAdmin/Mongo Express/RedisInsight + their DB deps)
  using tmpfs for ephemeral infra — no custom image builds required
- deployment/config/nginx-smoke/default.conf: stub nginx returns 200
  for all app paths and "MetaBuilder" on root for portal test
- Gate 2.2: starts smoke stack before playwright (--wait, 3 min
  timeout) and tears it down after with -v to clean volumes
- e2e/playwright.config.ts: removed testIgnore — all tests run
