bug: flaky macOS native service lifecycle test #1571

Describe the bug

test_native_personal_service_lifecycle intermittently fails during service installation in the macos-launchagent CI job. Rerunning the same commit passed without code changes.

Observed on PR #1570, commit b2e59269.

Evidence

• Failed attempt: https://github.com/oceanbase/powercontext/actions/runs/34663181365/job/103469752578
  Result: 1 failed, 3 passed, 1 skipped.
• Successful rerun: https://github.com/oceanbase/powercontext/actions/runs/34663181365/job/103471384127
  Result: 4 passed, 1 skipped.

Steps to reproduce

Run the Native personal service workflow on a disposable macOS runner. The failing test is:

tests/native/test_personal_service_lifecycle.py::test_native_personal_service_lifecycle

The failure is intermittent; a deterministic reproduction is not yet available.

Expected behavior

The registered LaunchAgent starts successfully and becomes reachable within the startup window.

Actual behavior

controller.install() raises:

the personal service was registered but did not become live: cannot reach http://127.0.0.1:49212

The controller uses a 30-second startup window. The reported server.stderr.log tail was empty.

The subsequent launchd diagnostic step reported that the service could not be found. The test performs cleanup in finally, so this diagnostic does not establish its state at the moment of failure.

Environment

• Python 3.12.10
• macOS 26.6.2, ARM64
• Runner image: macos-26-arm64, version 20260907.0351.1
• Both attempts used the same commit and runner image version.

Investigation

Capture launchd state and process diagnostics before test cleanup, then determine whether the intermittent failure comes from startup timing, runner conditions, or service behavior. The root cause is not yet confirmed.
