Subject: [PATCH] test(e2e): wait for connections fetch before asserting
 applications status pill (#10384)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip relies on end-to-end tests to catch regressions in the
operator UI
> - The applications list status pill is rendered from more than one
data fetch, so the visible label can lag behind the row itself
> - A default Playwright assertion timeout can expire before the
connections fetch finishes under CI load
> - That creates a flaky failure without changing the underlying product
behavior
> - This pull request extends the two status-pill assertions to use the
longer timeout already used elsewhere in the spec
> - The benefit is the same UI coverage with fewer false negatives

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

There is no public GitHub issue linked to this repo-local fix. This PR
addresses a flaky Playwright assertion in
`tests/e2e/applications-crud.spec.ts`, where the status pill can render
after the default assertion timeout because it depends on the
connections fetch as well as the applications fetch.

## What Changed

- Increased the wait window for the two status-pill visibility
assertions in `tests/e2e/applications-crud.spec.ts`.
- Kept the assertions anchored to the exact expected labels (`Healthy`
and `Not connected`) so the test still verifies the same behavior.

## Verification

- The spec is still discovered cleanly by Playwright.
- The diff stays limited to `tests/e2e/applications-crud.spec.ts`; there
are no product, dependency, or lockfile changes.
- The full browser-backed e2e signal remains CI for this change.

## Risks

- Low risk. This only changes assertion timing in a test file and does
not alter runtime product behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool-using coding agent.
