fix(ci): wait for npm package readiness - #1616
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds an npm readiness polling helper and invokes it after package publishes. The helper verifies exact-version metadata and tarball availability within a bounded timeout. Unit, workflow, and RelayFlow tests cover the behavior. ChangesNPM publish readiness
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds npm registry readiness gating, but an individual metadata or tarball request can still run past the intended 30-minute window, allowing a publishing job to remain active longer than planned. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a follow-up to cap each request by the remaining readiness budget. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Bound both requests by the remaining timeout budget.
waitForNpmPackage checks timeoutMs only after fetchImpl returns. The metadata and tarball requests both use the full requestTimeoutMs, so a request started near the deadline can exceed timeoutMs. Use the smaller of requestTimeoutMs and the remaining budget before each request. Add a near-deadline test.
