Feature request: Dispatch should report failure when timeout is reached with sync-status: true #94

Description

@JR-Morgan

I'm just testing out the new 2026 refresh, as we were previously using the-actions-org/workflow-dispatch.

with the following setup

          wait-for-completion: true
          sync-status: true
          wait-timeout-seconds: 10

I notice that, if the timeout is reached, the dispatch step will report a success (with a warning about it not completing within timeout period

Would it make more sense to have the timeout behave as an error? failing the job. maybe only if sync-status: true?
Or is there an obvious way I'm missing for me to have this step fail if the timeout is reached?

I think the current behaviour is intentional, so I'm more asking to spark up a discussion... perhaps I'm missing the point of having this timeout.
Perhaps I should be using timeout-minutes instead
