Smoke tests only ran astro dev, which uses Vite's on-demand compilation and never invokes the adapter build pipeline. Build failures in cloudflare/playground demos (or any adapter-dependent site) passed CI undetected. Add a build verification suite that runs astro build for every site in the matrix before the existing runtime tests. Bumps smoke test CI timeout from 15 to 30 minutes to accommodate.
