Subject: [PATCH 1/5] feat: implement transaction retry queue with exponential
 backoff

- Add useRetryQueue hook with complete state management for transaction retries
- Implement exponential backoff delays: 1s, 5s, 15s, 30s, 60s
- Add localStorage persistence for queue recovery across page reloads
- Implement all required functions: enqueue, updateTxHash, markConfirmed, markFailed, retry, purge
- Add proper timer cleanup and memory leak prevention
- Fix state transitions: pending -> submitted -> confirmed/failed with retrying intermediate state
- Add comprehensive test suite with 13 test cases covering serialization and retry logic
- Update Playwright configuration with webServer support for E2E testing
- Ensure SSR safety with window checks for localStorage access

Subject: [PATCH 2/5] refactor: extract transaction types and remove any types

- Create src/types/retry-queue.ts with QueuedTransaction and UseRetryQueueReturn types
- Update useRetryQueue hook to import types from centralized location
- Replace all 'any' types in tests with proper QueuedTransaction type
- Remove unused 'devices' import from playwright.config.ts
- Improve type safety and developer experience with better IntelliSense support

Subject: [PATCH 3/5] fix: use localhost for localStorage access and CI-aware
 server reuse

- Replace data: URL with http://localhost:3000 in tests for proper localStorage support
- Update reuseExistingServer to use !process.env.CI for better CI/CD compatibility
- Fixes SecurityError when accessing localStorage in data: URLs
- Ensures fresh server startup in CI environments while reusing in local development

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] fix: resolve SSR, hydration, lint, and E2E test issues

- Fix lint error by removing any type usage in useRetryQueue tests
- Add SSR guards for localStorage access in useWeb3Auth and session service
- Replace Math.random() with seeded random generators in FleetGrid and GridMap to fix hydration errors
- Update E2E tests to navigate to / instead of about:blank for localStorage access
- Add playwright-report and test-results to .gitignore

All 20 E2E tests passing, build successful, no lint or type errors
