Timed out finding dispatched mac release build workflow run

Error message

Timed out finding dispatched mac release build workflow run named "${expectedTitle}".

What it means

Thrown by findDispatchedReleaseMacBuildRun when, within RUN_DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT_SECONDS (120s), no workflow run matching the dispatch can be found. A match requires created_at >= dispatchStartedAtMs (now-10s) AND display_title === expectedReleaseMacBuildRunTitle ('Mac release build <tag> (<releaseRunId>)').

Solutions

1. Confirm options.workflow (RELEASE_MAC_BUILD_WORKFLOW) matches the actual workflow file name.
2. Verify tag and releaseRunId produce the exact expected title via expectedReleaseMacBuildRunTitle.
3. Reduce concurrent dispatches or bump per_page/poll if the run falls outside the first 20.
4. Re-run; transient GitHub lag under heavy load is common.

Example fix

// before
const workflowRun = await findDispatchedReleaseMacBuildRun(api, options, deps)
// after
// confirm title formula matches what the workflow produces
console.log(expectedReleaseMacBuildRunTitle(options))
// and widen discovery by increasing pollSeconds / re-dispatching if GitHub lagged

const expectedTitle = expectedReleaseMacBuildRunTitle(options)
// sanity-check inputs that form the title before dispatching
if (!options.tag || !options.releaseRunId) {
  throw new Error('tag and releaseRunId are required to match the dispatched run title')
}

function isWorkflowRun(value) {
  return value != null && (typeof value.id === 'number') && (typeof value.display_title === 'string')
}

try {
  workflowRun = await findDispatchedReleaseMacBuildRun(api, options, deps)
} catch (err) {
  if (/Timed out finding dispatched mac release build/.test(err.message)) {
    // GitHub lag: wait and re-dispatch/re-poll once, with a wider per_page
  }
  throw err
}

When it happens

Trigger: After dispatchReleaseMacBuildWorkflow, polling GET .../actions/workflows/<wf>/runs?event=workflow_dispatch&per_page=20 never yields a run whose title and creation time match. Possible because the dispatch was accepted but the run is slow to register, the title format changed, or per_page=20 omits it behind many newer runs.

Common situations: Workflow file renamed/mismatched, tag or releaseRunId mismatch, high workflow churn pushing the new run past the first 20, clock skew on created_at, dispatch actually 202 (queued) but not yet creating a run object.
