Subject: [PATCH] test(delegation): add comprehensive CLI flag passthrough
 tests

Add 45 test cases covering all edge cases for CLI flag passthrough:
- DelegationHandler: timeout/max-turns/fallback-model/agents/betas validation
- HeadlessExecutor: duplicate flag filtering, undefined vs truthy checks
