[chore] rm old performPlaywrightMethod

[seanmcguire12]

why

• it is not good practice to maintain two separate implementations of the same function

what changed

• removed a duplicate implementation of performPlaywrightMethod which was being used by the observe_simple_google_search eval
• replaced the function call with a call to page.act(ObserveResult) which targets the implementation of performPlaywrightMethod that is actually being used (and is therefore the implementation that we should be testing

test plan

• regression evals
• observe evals

Greptile Summary

This PR is a code cleanup that removes a duplicate implementation of performPlaywrightMethod from a11y/utils.ts and consolidates its usage in observe_simple_google_search.ts to use the primary implementation through stagehand.page.act(). The change simplifies the codebase by eliminating redundant code while maintaining the same functionality.

The PR aligns with good engineering practices by:

1. Eliminating duplicate code that could lead to maintenance issues
2. Ensuring consistent behavior by using a single implementation
3. Making the codebase more maintainable

Confidence score: 5/5

1. This PR is extremely safe to merge as it's a straightforward cleanup that doesn't change functionality
2. The high score is due to comprehensive test coverage (regression + observe evals) and the mechanical nature of the change
3. Files that need attention:
   • evals/tasks/observe_simple_google_search.ts - verify the new act() calls work as expected
   • lib/a11y/utils.ts - ensure no other code was depending on the removed implementation
