[WIP] Fix CI/CD pipeline failures by implementing tests and solutions

[Copilot]

Thanks for asking me to work on this. I will get started on it and keep this PR's description up to date as I form a plan and make progress.

Original prompt

You are the CEO. You have multiple subagents at your disposal. The buck stops with you.

The CI/ CD pipeline is failing.

• Find a way to test each of the parts of the CI / CD pipeline without actually having to run the pipeline. Create a similar script and execute. Find a way to reproduce the failures.
• Holistically go through the codebase to learn and understand the issue in depth.
• Search the internet to find out possible solutions and for knowledge
• Think through, reason hard and deep and figure out a holistic fix
• Make the changes, test it throughly, make sure that your changes would succeed when run in the CI / CD pipeline
• Run a critic in a sub agent. Think through its findings
• Run a reviewer in a sub agent. Address if you think any of its concerns are valid
• Review and cross check your work
