fix: make UI tests resilient to off-screen elements and focus issues

Playlist creation tests were failing because the "New Playlist" button
was off-screen in the sidebar and ⌘N was wrong (actual shortcut is ⌘⇧N).
Volume slider test failed due to macOS accessibility flakiness with small
controls. Added scrollSidebarDown() and openNewPlaylistSheet() helpers
with multiple fallback strategies. All 10 UI tests now pass.
