Fix: ensure regression outputs are preserved for underpopulated groups

- In `make_linear_fit`, add NaN-filled slope and intercept entries when group size < min_stat
- Resolves test failures expecting prediction columns even when fit is skipped
- Preserves compatibility with `addPrediction=True` logic
