Empty workspace intermittently fails to start when AI tool is selected for injection

[svor]

Describe the bug

When a user selects an AI provider/tool to be injected into a new empty workspace, the workspace intermittently fails to start. The issue does not reproduce consistently, the same configuration sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

After clicking the Restart button, the workspace started successfully and the AI tool became available in the container.

Steps to reproduce

2. On the Get Started page, select an AI provider in the AI Selector widget
3. Start an empty workspace
4. Observe that the workspace occasionally fails to start
