After an SDK release, the automatic update started before the new versions were available on npm, so it failed and no PR was opened.
It now waits up to 5 minutes for the new versions to appear before updating, and fails with a clear message if they never show up.

TL;DR

This PR changes the automatic SDK update workflow so it waits up to 5 minutes for new versions to appear on npm, then fails with a clear error if they never do. The logic and style reviews read the code and reported no problems, but no workflow tests were run. The adversarial lane errored and produced no usable behavior or test-quality evidence, so that coverage is missing.

This review is inconclusive. Some evidence is missing or failed, so it does not establish that the change is safe. No code issues were reported. Failed or incomplete gates still require attention.

logic — passed (0 findings)

Reviewed the workflow change, setup action, dependency-update/install flow, and PR creation guards. No supported regressions found; existing steps and tests were not removed or weakened. No workflow-specific tests were found or executed. Graph coverage excluded YAML, and Argus was unavailable because no files were supported.

I reviewed the one changed file, .github/workflows/auto-update-core.yml, by reading the full patch and the file at the head commit. I found nothing worth reporting on structure or style. The PR adds one step that waits for each package in the payload to show up on npm before the update runs. It checks up to 10 times, 30 seconds apart, then fails with an ::error:: message. It reuses the same jq -c '.[]' loop and name/version parsing as the update step after it, and passes the payload through an env variable rather than putting it directly into the script, which is cleaner. It uses continue 2 to skip to the next package once one is found, so it needs no extra flag variables or nested conditionals. It sits in its own step before the update step instead of being mixed into the update logic. Two small things I chose not to report: the "5 minutes" in the error message is written by hand rather than worked out from the retry count and wait time, and the payload-parsing loop now appears in two steps. Neither is a clear upkeep problem in a short, single-purpose workflow, and pulling the loop out into a shared script would be an abstraction nothing here calls for. What this review didn't cover: the separate Argus pass didn't run on this PR (it reported no supported files), so I had only my own reading of the source to go on.
