Problem

When a fresh (non-prerelease) release is created, GitHub fires both published and released events simultaneously. The promote job (triggered by released) races the deploy job (triggered by published) and tries to npm dist-tag add before the package is published to npm.

Fix

Add a retry loop that waits up to 5 minutes for the package version to appear on npm before promoting. If the version never appears, the job fails with a clear error instead of silently succeeding.

This is better than simply skipping when the version doesn't exist (as in lando/phpmyadmin#72), because it still catches genuine failures — e.g., if a prerelease promotion runs and the version is truly missing.

Affected repos

This same fix is being rolled out to all Lando repos with this release workflow pattern.

Closes any race condition failures on the promote job.


Note

Low Risk
CI-only change to GitHub Actions scripting; main risk is delayed or failed releases if npm propagation is slower than the 5-minute timeout.

Overview
Prevents the release promote job from racing the deploy publish by polling npm for the just-released $PACKAGE@$VERSION before running npm dist-tag add ... latest.

If the version does not appear within ~5 minutes, the workflow now fails with an explicit error, instead of attempting promotion immediately.

Written by Cursor Bugbot for commit d9dca24. This will update automatically on new commits. Configure here.

When a fresh non-prerelease is published, GitHub fires both 'published'
and 'released' events simultaneously. The promote job races the deploy
job and fails because the package isn't on npm yet.

Add a retry loop (up to 5 min) so promote waits for the package to
appear, while still failing loudly if it never does.
