Autopilot: Add deterministic test + fix flaky behavior (safe-small)

[OgeonX-Ai]

Objective

Autopilot must create a PR that adds a deterministic unit test and fixes one flaky/fragile behavior.

Required behavior

1. Scan the repo for an existing test framework and pick ONE:
   • Python: pytest
   • Node: jest/vitest
   • .NET: xUnit/NUnit
2. Add ONE new test that:
   • is deterministic
   • runs fast
   • proves a bug fix or prevents regression
3. Apply a minimal code change to satisfy the test.
4. Run the test suite locally (best effort) and post results.

Retry rules (must be implemented)

• If tests fail after your first fix:
  • Retry once (try-2) with expanded context:
    • include failing output
    • include files touched
• If second attempt fails:
  • Label this issue human and explain precisely what blocks you.

Constraints

• Keep diff minimal.
• No refactors unless needed for fix.
• Never ask me anything. Either fix, retry, or escalate to human.
