fix: handle race condition in release promote job - #49

Conversation
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.

Problem
When a fresh (non-prerelease) release is created, GitHub fires both
publishedandreleasedevents simultaneously. Thepromotejob (triggered byreleased) races thedeployjob (triggered bypublished) and tries tonpm dist-tag addbefore 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
promotejob.Note
Low Risk
CI-only change confined to the release workflow; main risk is delayed/failed promotions if npm is slow or credentials/registry access changes.
Overview
Prevents a race between the
deploy(publish) andpromote(dist-tag) release jobs by makingpromotepoll npm for the just-released version before runningnpm dist-tag add ... latest.If the version doesn’t appear within ~5 minutes, the job now fails with an explicit error instead of attempting the promotion immediately.
