Check legacy properties with their scope argument prefix.

These assertions do not detect --property=Delegate=yes or --property=DelegateControllers=.... A scope launch could include those arguments alongside the expected controller list and still pass this test. Check both bare systemctl properties and --property= scope arguments.

Update the assertions in the agent scope test to reject both bare systemctl
properties and scope-prefixed arguments using the “--property=” form for
Delegate and DelegateControllers. Ensure the filters detect the exact legacy
property prefixes regardless of which argument form is used, while preserving
the existing expectation that neither property appears.

review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr
