Summary

• The source-connect desktop e2e asserted GitHub pending is true during a fixed 500 ms delay on the credential check. expect.poll backs off to 1 s, so it can notice the check request after the response is back and the flag is false again — the long serial desktop release run lost that race on both attempts.
• The fixture now holds the credential-check response until the test has seen the pending state, then releases it (in finally) and asserts the verified credential and pending: false as before. Same assertions, no timing window.

Type of Change

Testing
