Subset builds

Argos running on a Playwright test suite with some skipped builds

Subset builds let you run Argos on a partial test suite while keeping feedback focused on what actually ran. When a build is marked as subset, Argos ignores removed screenshots and only reports changed and added screenshots from the tests that executed.

Fast feature validation: Skip the full E2E suite on branches without losing visual insight.
No false removals: Missing screenshots from skipped tests won’t be flagged.
Baseline safe: Full runs on the main branch still power baseline builds.
