Advent's Recall ability also recalls Assembly Drones, leaving the gravity well unable to construct anything, forever

As per title. This occurs unbeknownst to the player, and unless they realize that their assembly drones are hanging out on the edge of the homeworld gravity well, they will not be able to construct anything. They are unable to return back to the affected gravity well as they have no hyperlane drives.

Only fix is to scuttle the assembly drones, and wait for them to reappear in the affected gravity well.

This is a very annoying bug.

It took me half an hour before I realized one of my planets was not building anything ... when the AI overran it with a small fleet because it only had a half built starbase and a ton of scheduled defenses that never were built after I had to recall the fleet to reenforce against another AI on the other side of my little empire. The drone was sitting in my capital eating chips and chilling since then.

Assembly drones are not combat ships. They should be treated as local infrastructure and not be affected by recall.

This is a major issue and means you can't really recall from your own systems.
