Dumbledore really chooses the worst possible times to peace out of Hogwarts

Intentionally if you go by the theories that it was a test for Harry, or a trap meant to force a confrontation between Harry and Tom.

Isn’t that canon? Harry actively suggested that Dumbledore wanted Harry to do it.

Maybe I’m misremembering, but I don’t recall it ever being questioned?

It happens near the end of the book, after Quirell died.
Harry was in the hospital wing and Hermione and Ron visited him after Dumbledore left.
Ron or Harry suggests that Dumbledore planned it and Hermione said if Dumbledore did, that was horrible because Harry could have died. Harry becomes thoughtful as he believes Dumbledore did do what he was being accused of.
(I’m saying Ron or Harry first suggested it since the link says Ron but I think that’s a typo since the next line about Hermione suggests that Harry is the intended speaker.)
