Two bugs in the one-row "+N" collapse:
- measure() used the border box, which grows by 4 px while collapsed
  (margin -2 / padding 2), so a row within 4 px of fitting flipped
  collapsed↔expanded every frame (flicker, layout shifts, ~11 % of a core
  per looping message). It now measures the content box.
- The collapsed style used the `margin` shorthand, which overrode the
  timeline's marginTop and, when removed, cleared it; the row then stuck
  to the message text. Longhand margins keep marginTop (minus 2 px).

Verified headless (12 reactions, viewport sweep 1300–1400 px): before,
90 style flips in 1.5 s at 1344 px and margin-top 0px after a cycle;
now 0 flips at every width and margin-top stays 8px.

Fixes #305
