Subject: [PATCH] test(agent): strengthen regression test for missing thread
 error handling

Replace shallow assertion-only test with one that exercises the actual
match-based error detection pattern used in process_approval()'s
rejection and state-setting paths.

Addresses Gemini review feedback on #1579.
