Subject: [PATCH] test(e2e): take the sidebar measured-row baseline with
 reduced motion (#23588)

The fixture's collapse starts a row-removal slide; on hidden Linux windows the
animation clock can stall, so the 'settled' baseline read LaunchStack 94px low
(104 vs the resting 10). Emulate reduced motion, as the active-delete scroll
spec already does, so the baseline is the resting layout.

Linear: STA-8021
