Research direction

Start with the failed run linked in the issue, then read workflows/repo-assist.md and .github/skills/agentic-workflows/SKILL.md. Use the provided debugging prompt to determine why the copilot engine terminated unexpectedly and whether the reported meanTruncatedBy work was actually applied. Done means the workflow failure is resolved or its failure reporting is intentionally configured.

Description

agentic-workflows
Workflow Failure

Workflow: Repo Assist
Branch: developer
Run: https://github.com/fslaborg/FSharp.Stats/actions/runs/37073441542

[!WARNING]
Engine Failure: The copilot engine terminated unexpectedly.

Last agent output:

- **Doc example:** the XML-doc example result changed from 7.0 to 6.0, which is the correct value.
- **Behaviour change:** `meanTruncatedBy` returns different results for any proportion above 0, so maintainers should be aware.
- **Tests:** three new tests cover both-end trimming, agreement with `meanTruncated` for the identity function, and a zero proportion.
- **Testing:** the Release build passes, the `meanTruncated`-filtered tests pass 10/10, and the `Seq`-filtered run passes 359/359. I did not run the full `./build.sh RunTests`.
- **Why now:** my notes said a fix like this was already made, but no such branch existed in the repo, so I re-created it. I haven't checked whether an earlier PR for it exists on GitHub.
Of the three selected tasks, only the issue fix produced output. I skipped the monthly activity summary issue update this run, so it is out of date.
