test: restore OntologyExplorer entry in sidebar

[anuj-kumary]

Describe your changes:

Problem

Fixed test timeouts in Ontology Explorer by resolving missing sidebar mapping

All OntologyExplorer Playwright tests were timing out because sidebar could never find ontology explorer element. The sidebarClick utility looks up SIDEBAR_LIST_ITEMS to first expand the parent section (Governance) before clicking the child item but ONTOLOGY_EXPLORER had no entry in that map, so the parent was never expanded.

This issue is specific to v1.13; tests pass on main where the mapping exists, but it is missing in the release branch
