Thank you for the review. I agree that the two wait checks serve distinct
purposes and are not redundant. The main motivation for this patch was
efficiency. In my testing, the new test added approximately 7 seconds to
the runtime, while the creation of the procedure and function completed
quickly. I suspect the latency stems from the wait-for-catch-up step. When
I removed it, the test runtime dropped by about 7 seconds.I haven't yet
investigated why the wait is so costly in this case. I should probably look
into that before proposing this change.

Best,
Xuneng
