 Users can disable animation effects at the OS level. For example, on
 Windows, this can be done via Settings → Accessibility → Visual effects.
 Similar settings should be available on all major operating systems.

 In my opinion, if a user prefers reduced motion, view transitions should
 also be disabled.

 We may be able to simply change it as follows:

 {{{
 #!css
 @view-transition {
         navigation: auto;
 }

 @media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
         @view-transition {
                 navigation: none;
         }
 }

 #adminmenu > .menu-top {
         view-transition-name: attr(id type(<custom-ident>), none);
 }
 }}}

 or:

 {{{
 #!css
 @media (prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference) {
         @view-transition {
                 navigation: auto;
         }

         #adminmenu > .menu-top {
                 view-transition-name: attr(id type(<custom-ident>), none);
         }
 }
 }}}
