It is still not a proper fix. It is still busy-looping 100% CPU.

Given that Github Actions is quite popular, probably wasting large amount of energy.

But probably good at generating billable Actions minutes.

One can only hope that not many people use sleeps to handle their CI race conditions, as that itself is also not a proper fix.
