Subject: [PATCH] test(e2e): tolerate the /login redirect on protected-route
 load checks
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The "should load X page" specs asserted the URL stays on the protected route,
but an unauthenticated run — as in CI, which starts a fresh dev server with no
session — correctly redirects to /login. They passed locally only by racing an
already-warm reused server. Accept either the target route or /login, matching
the tolerance the sibling assertions in this file already use.

Confirmed with the full e2e suite (60 tests, chromium) under CI conditions
(fresh server, single worker, JWT keys).
