Research direction
Start by locating the auto_reduce_topic entry point and reproduce the failure with input where all documents are outliers. Trace the assumption that a unique non-outlier topic exists, then add coverage for this case. Done means auto_reduce_topic no longer throws an error when every document is an outlier.
