Replace dynamic imports with static imports in wait-helpers module
to prevent cold module cache failures when Shard 1 executes first
in CI sequential worker mode.
Dynamic imports of ui-helpers were failing in CI because Shard 1
runs with cold module cache (workers: 1), while local tests pass
due to warm cache from parallel execution. Static imports eliminate
the async resolution overhead and ensure consistent behavior across
all execution modes.
Affected test files in Shard 1:
- access-lists-crud.spec.ts (32 wait helper usages)
- authentication.spec.ts (1 usage)
- certificates.spec.ts (20 usages)
- proxy-hosts.spec.ts (38 usages)
Fixes CI failure rate from 50% (6/12 jobs) to expected 100% (12/12).
Resolves: Shard 1 failures across all browsers
