💡 What:

Replaced the synchronous sleep(delaySeconds) call in waitForSandboxReady with an asynchronous await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, delaySeconds * 1000)). The function signature was updated to be async, and all callers were updated to await it.

🎯 Why:

The previous implementation used a synchronous wait primitive that completely blocked the Node.js main thread (via Atomics.wait). Because this polling loop runs over network-bound checks (waiting for a Kubernetes pod to transition to "Running"), completely halting the JavaScript event loop is highly detrimental. It prevents other asynchronous I/O, timers, or promise continuations from executing in the background, starving the application.

📊 Measured Improvement:

In a benchmark comparing the synchronous wait versus the asynchronous wait:

  • Baseline (Sync): A background timer expected to tick ~30 times during a 3-second wait recorded 0 ticks. The event loop was completely deadlocked.
  • Improved (Async): The same background timer successfully recorded 29 ticks, indicating the Node.js event loop remained free and fully responsive to other operations while waiting.
    This ensures concurrent network requests, timeouts, and user interactions in the CLI or library can proceed unabated.

Replaced the synchronous `sleep(delaySeconds)` with `await new Promise(...)`
to avoid blocking the Node.js event loop during sandbox readiness checks.
