You are fixing an API QA failure created by Sladdis/Testbench. Context: - Test case: Breed-filtered image search returns breed data (API-BREED-FILTERED-IMAGE-SEARCH-RETU-DDF5CE97) - Run: TheCatAPI public demo regression with subagent tracks - Environment: Production - Request: GET https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search?limit=%5Bset%5D&breed_ids=%5Bset%5D&include_breeds=%5Bset%5D - Response status: 200 - Failure: JSON path $[0].breeds[0].id was not found. - Notes: [failure:JSON path $[0].breeds[0].id was not found.] API runner failed. Task: 1. Reproduce the API failure with safe/redacted test data. 2. Inspect the route handler, validation, auth policy, upstream dependency, or fixture that controls this response. 3. Implement the smallest fix that makes the expected API assertion pass. 4. Add or update regression coverage for this exact API behavior. 5. Rerun the QAA API test and update the ticket with the fix summary. Definition of done: - The API test case passes on rerun. - Secrets and response bodies remain redacted according to QAA policy. - The ticket records the changed code path and any residual risk.
