This adds an extra Chromium install step in the Firefox job, but playwright.config.js no longer has the browser projects depending on security-tests, so this is likely redundant work that increases CI time. The step message also references a dependency that is now removed.

Suggested fix: remove this step (or gate it behind the same condition used to run security-tests), and update the messaging so it reflects the current project dependency graph.

Same as above: this Chromium install step in the WebKit job appears redundant now that browser projects no longer depend on security-tests. It adds avoidable runtime and the step description is now misleading.

Suggested fix: remove it (or guard it behind a flag that also re-enables security-tests dependencies), keeping Playwright installs minimal per job.

The if [ -n "$CI" ] branch likely never executes during docker build in GitHub Actions because CI is not declared as a Docker ARG/ENV anywhere in this Dockerfile, and build steps don't automatically inherit runner environment variables. As a result, CI builds will still take the slower path (30s timeout + retries), which defeats the purpose of this change.

Suggested fix: declare ARG CI (optionally ENV CI=$CI) and pass build-args: CI=true from the workflow, or use a dedicated build arg like ARG FAST_GEOIP_DOWNLOAD=1.

The new GeoIP download logic treats checksum or download failures as non-fatal by creating a placeholder file and allowing the Docker build to succeed, which in turn causes the application to run without a valid GeoIP database. At runtime, the backend only wires a GeoIPService when the database loads successfully; otherwise geoipSvc remains nil and AccessListService.testGeoIP allows traffic by default when GeoIP is unavailable, so any availability or integrity issue with the third-party GeoLite source can silently disable GeoIP-based access controls. To avoid this fail-open behavior for a security control, make checksum/download failure abort the Docker build again or ensure that missing/invalid GeoIP data causes geo-based ACLs to fail closed instead of allowing by default.

The browser projects no longer depend on security-tests, but the surrounding comment says this is a temporary CI fix. As written, this change applies to all runs (local + CI) and means security-tests/security-teardown will no longer run automatically when someone runs --project=chromium|firefox|webkit, which can silently skip the intended security preflight/teardown ordering.

Consider making the dependency conditional (e.g., keep ['setup','security-tests'] by default and only drop it when an explicit env var is set in CI), or update the project structure so CI intentionally excludes security tests without impacting local runs.
