Review comment (suggestion):
I see that you didn't change this logic from before, just removed the private method it was in before, but I still need some help understanding:
Why would a connected vault have the state `tested` while `success=true`?
Doesn't a successful test go hand-in-hand with the provider being connected at the time of the test?

My thinking: Only if we would support passing in the settings to the test endpoint before saving a connection, could we support a case where a connection is tested successfully but is not connected yet.

Code after:

		const result = await this.providerLifecycle.initialize(provider, testSettings);

		if (!result.success || !result.provider) {
			return errorState;
		}

		try {
			// Connect the provider to authenticate before testing
			const connectResult = await this.providerLifecycle.connect(result.provider);
			if (!connectResult.success) {
				return {
					...errorState,
					error: connectResult.error?.message,
				};
			}

			const [success, error] = await result.provider.test();

			// This mostly forces the "typing" to work correctly
			if (!success) {
				return { success: false, testState: 'error', error };
			}

			const currentSettings = await this.settingsStore.getProvider(provider);
			const testState: 'connected' | 'tested' = currentSettings?.connected ? 'connected' : 'tested';

			return { success: true, testState };
		} catch {
			return errorState;
		} finally {
			await result.provider?.disconnect();
		}
	}
