Description
Parent Issue: https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/issues/36995
When creating a course re-run, the unit prerequisite settings are not copied from the original course. This results in a new course where all prerequisite relationships between units are lost.
Expected Behavior:
A course re-run should create an exact duplicate of the original course, including all unit prerequisite configurations.
Actual Behavior:
The re-run course is generated without any of the prerequisite settings. Units that were previously locked behind prerequisites are now immediately accessible, breaking the intended learning progression.
