IndexError and corrupted hosted feature service when using the ViewManager create method

Start with arcgis/features/managers.py, especially create_view and set_visible_fields_and_query, then follow the ViewManager.create entry point in arcgis/gis/init.py. Reproduce the traceback with a multi-layer hosted feature service using query and visible_fields, and compare the service definition before and after. Done means view creation completes without IndexError and the parent service still exposes its feature layers.

Describe the bug
The create method in the ViewManager class throws an IndexError when using the query or visible_fields parameters, for hosted feature service containing more than one feature layer.

Removing the query and visible_fields parameters also throws the IndexError after successfully creating just one view from the parent hosted feature service.
It seems to corrupts the parent hosted feature service definition in some way(s), where the layers are no longer recognized via the sharing REST endpoint and in the view creation/update UI.
See screenshots for examples of expected versus corrupted.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

# example parameters
view = {
      "name": "Sanitary Lift Stations view",
      "hfl_itemid": sanitary_hfl_itemid,
      "layer_id": 0,
      "vis_field": ["*"],
      "filter": "Status <> 'Abandoned' AND StructureType = 'Lift Station'"
  }

view_item = flyr_item.view_manager.create(
                        name=new_view_name, 
                        view_layers=[flyr_item.layers[view['layer_id']]], 
                        allow_schema_changes=False, 
                        updateable=False, 
                        capabilities="Query", 
                        preserve_layer_ids=True, 
                        query=view['filter'], 
                        visible_fields=["OBJECTID", "GlobalID"] + view['vis_field']
                    )

error:

Screenshots
After running the view create() method, with OR without the query and visible_fields parameters, the UI no longer recognizes feature layers and only tables are available when creating or updating the view.

Expected behavior
This API call has been working for over a year in our scripts, creating hundreds of views programmatically. I expect that the views be created with query and visible_fields parameters defined and that the parent hosted feature service is not altered in any detrimental way.

Platform (please complete the following information):

• OS = Windows 11
• Browser = Chrome
• Python API Version = 2.4.2
