Research direction

Start with common/lib/xmodule/xmodule/partitions/tests/test_partitions.py around the deleted test at line 560, then read PR 27885 and the linked flaky-test guidance. Investigate why get_all_partitions_for_course sometimes returns one partition instead of two, reproduce the intermittent failure if possible, and ensure the enrollment-track partition behavior has stable regression coverage.
