Description

GitHub Actions tests are consistently failing on the main branch. The zig-tests workflow has been failing since at least December 14, 2025 (run #20210398182 and subsequent runs through #20238288233).

This task investigates and fixes the root cause of these test failures to restore CI health.

Files to Modify

• .github/workflows/zig-tests.yaml (if workflow configuration is the issue)
• zig/ (if Zig implementation has issues)
• zig/harness/ (if test harness setup is the issue)
• Any other files identified during investigation

Acceptance Criteria

• Identify the root cause of the GitHub Actions test failures
• Document the root cause in the Progress Log
• Implement fixes to resolve the failures
• All GitHub Actions workflows pass on the main branch
• CI remains green after the fix
• Document the fix and verification steps in Completion Notes
