The poll is the fallback, not the mechanism. It is 30s on staging but 300s
on production, so a green run could sit five minutes ahead of the deploy it
claimed to have made -- the smoke job was absorbing that wait.
Copied from easyDent verbatim, including the soft failure: an unset secret
or an unreachable API logs and falls back to the poll rather than failing
the build. That matters right now because production has no Watchtower HTTP
API yet, so the production URL will do nothing until the infra stack there
is updated.
