This PR introduces a new storageState option in the Playwright helper configuration.
With this change, users can pass a Playwright storage state directly (either as a path to a JSON file or as an object) to initialize browser contexts with preloaded session data such as cookies, localStorage, IndexedDB, or authentication tokens.

Key points

  • storageState can be configured globally in codecept.conf.js or overridden per scenario.
  • Ensures Playwright handles storage state validation and errors natively.
  • Simplifies authentication and session reuse across tests.

Applicable helpers:

  • Playwright
  • Puppeteer
  • WebDriver
  • REST
  • FileHelper
  • Appium
  • TestCafe

Applicable plugins:

  • allure
  • autoDelay
  • autoLogin
  • customLocator
  • pauseOnFail
  • coverage
  • retryFailedStep
  • screenshotOnFail
  • selenoid
  • stepByStepReport
  • stepTimeout
  • wdio
  • subtitles

[nitpick] The logic for handling storageState and cookies should be more explicit. Consider extracting this into a separate method or adding a comment explaining why scenario cookies completely override storageState rather than merging.

Honestly, this feels like nitpicking. The current else if is already clear enough, and extracting it into a separate method or adding more comments wouldn’t really improve understanding here.
