All UI testing so far is Chromium. iOS Safari is the platform with the most open unknowns (composer vs keyboard #175 E4, long-press reliability, PWA install hint, audio unlock) and Playwright ships a WebKit engine. Add a webkit project to playwright.config.ts (desktop Safari + the iPhone 14 device descriptor) and run the boot + composer + thread + gallery specs under it in the CI job. It will not emulate the iOS on-screen keyboard or Home-Screen install, but it catches WebKit-only breakage (CSS, dvh, IndexedDB quirks, media decode) that Chromium emulation hides.
