Jordan Ritter c43ed08e7b ci(e2e-dojo): run dojo suites on 4-vCPU runner (−40% wall-clock) (#5452)
Bumps the dojo e2e matrix from `depot-ubuntu-24.04` (2 vCPU) to
`depot-ubuntu-24.04-4` (4 vCPU) and `NX_PARALLEL: 4` so the build uses
the extra cores. This is the non-serializing way to cut dojo wall-clock
(the build-once dedup tried in #5450 regressed wall-clock and was
reverted).

## Result: −40% wall-clock (measured on CI)

Dojo wall-clock = the single slowest suite (the 15 run in parallel).
Comparison vs the 2-vCPU baseline:

| metric | 2-vCPU baseline | 4-vCPU | Δ |
|---|---|---|---|
| **wall-clock** (long pole `langgraph-python`) | 623s (10.4m) | **373s
(6.2m)** | **−40%** |
| runner-minutes (wall summed, 15 suites) | 105m | 76m | −28% |
| **billed compute** (vCPU-min; 4-vCPU ≈ 2× rate) | ~210 | ~304 |
**+45%** |

Every suite got faster; the long-pole suites benefited most:

| suite | 2-vCPU | 4-vCPU |
|---|---|---|
| langgraph-python | 623s | 373s |
| langgraph-typescript | 547s | 362s |
| langgraph-fastapi | 500s | 337s |
| adk-middleware | 414s | 286s |
| (… all 15 faster …) | | |

Long-pole `langgraph-python` step breakdown:

| phase | 2-vCPU | 4-vCPU |
|---|---|---|
| Build cpk | 82s | 48s |
| Prep dojo | 94s | 52s |
| **Run tests (Playwright)** | **271s** | **117s** |
| total | 623s | 373s |

**Key finding:** the Playwright phase more than halved → the e2e suites
are **CPU/worker-bound, not LLM-latency-bound**. A bigger runner is the
right lever; test sharding is not needed to reach ~6 min.

## Trade-off
−40% wall-clock for **~+45% billed compute** (4-vCPU costs ~2×/min,
partly offset by finishing 28% sooner). If the cost bump isn't worth it
across all 15 suites, a follow-up can scope `-4` to just the slow suites
via a per-matrix `runner` field (wall ~6.5m, smaller cost increase).

Companion to #5450 (unit-test `nx affected`).
