test(smoke): make PR Core admin-menu check label-agnostic

The peptide CPT menu was restructured (no top-level 'Peptides' label), so the
text=Peptides assertion failed. Assert the CPT's admin link by href
(a[href*='post_type=peptide']) and toBeAttached — robust to label changes and
submenu (hidden-until-hover) placement.

-# Changelog
-
-All notable changes to the peptide-e2e smoke suite will be documented here.
-
-## [1.1.0] - 2026-06-12
-
-### Added
-- **Board page smoke test** (`03-admin-plugins.spec.ts` — `WP Admin — PRAutoBlogger board page`).
-  Navigates to `/wp-admin/admin.php?page=prautoblogger-board`, asserts HTTP 200,
-  `#prab-board` container visible, and body does NOT contain "Invalid plugin page".
-  Guards against the v0.19.1 regression class: Board submenu registered before parent
-  menu existed (both at admin_menu priority 10) → WordPress fallback hookname →
-  wp_die 404. Now in the deploy-gate smoke suite so this failure class is un-shippable.
-
-  Note: cannot be validated against prod until v0.19.1 of PRAutoBlogger deploys.
-  Spec compiles and lists cleanly under `npx playwright test --list`.
-
-## [1.0.0] - 2026-06-11
-
-Initial release. 21 tests across 5 specs: homepage, reconstitution calculator,
-peptide search, admin plugins, REST API.
