I added a prop hidden to the container component used for the Panel.
A wrapped the content in another one of those wrappers, because that seemed like the easiest way to get this done quick. I didn't want to make changes all over the place at this time.
I could remove the double container, but I'd have to touch something like 10 components and possibly a similar number of story files (add decorators if needed).
I opted not to do that right now.
How to test
open storybook in the repo
open the actions panel
refresh the page
the visual tests addon panel should not be shown
assert that state does get set (easy way to verify is to look at the network tab)
