Frequency-based trips don't appear in stoptimesForPatterns query

[ethanpooley]

Expected behavior

Trips defined by frequencies.txt entries will appear in both routing results and GTFS query results such as stoptimesForPatterns

Observed behavior

Frequency-based trips appear in routing results but not in stoptimesForPatterns

Steps to reproduce the problem

Run this query in the GraphiQL UI:

query Stoptime {
  stop(id: "patco:4") {
    gtfsId
    name
    stoptimesForPatterns(
      startTime: 1738259951
      timeRange: 5000
      numberOfDepartures: 25
      omitNonPickups: true
    ) {
      pattern {
        code
        id
        directionId
        headsign
        name
      }
      stoptimes {
        stopPosition
        scheduledArrival
        realtimeArrival
        arrivalDelay
        scheduledDeparture
        realtimeDeparture
        departureDelay
        timepoint
        realtime
        realtimeState
        pickupType
        dropoffType
        serviceDay
        headsign
        trip {
          gtfsId
          directionId
          route {
            gtfsId
            longName
            shortName
            mode
            type
            color
            textColor
            agency {
              gtfsId
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

You'll get one item for 2:18 PM local time. There should also be a frequency-based item for 1:06 PM local time (and 1:21, 1:36, etc.). GTFS service ID is 87. Trip ID is 10202. Relevant portion of the frequencies.txt file looks like this:

trip_id,start_time,end_time,headway_secs,exact_times
10202,09:00:00,14:00:01,900,1

For comparison, OneBusAway returns the very next instance of the frequency-based trip, but not additional instances. When it returns a frequency-based trip it includes a value like this:

"frequency": {
    "startTime": 1738230248,
    "endTime": 1738274834,
    "headway": 900
}

Presumably so that the consumer can a) identify them properly, and b) extrapolate future instances easily if they choose.

In a gitter.im thread, @miklcct responded:

Yes that's a bug and needs to be reported.
I haven't had time to work on it yet.

Is it an exact times frequency trip? If so it should extrapolate, if not it shouldn't.
