When this happens, advisory and license data are never ingested, which causes Dependency Scanning v2 to fail at the `vuln-scan` step with: `[FATAL] vulnerability scanning: ... advisory data is missing from your GitLab instance` This matches the rollout risk already called out in the `package_metadata_sync_using_labels` rollout issue: if the label-based code errors in a way that is not caught and execution never reaches `listObjects`, the instance cannot sync advisory or license data. ### Workaround: Disable the label-based sync and force the existing nil-safe fallback route: ``` sudo gitlab-rails runner "Feature.disable(:package_metadata_sync_using_labels)" sudo gitlab-rails runner "PackageMetadata::AdvisoriesSyncWorker.new.perform" ``` ### Steps to reproduce 1. Start with a fresh 19.0+ Ultimate instance with `package_metadata_sync_using_labels` enabled. 2. Ensure there is no `PackageMetadata::Checkpoint` row for advisories, for example: ` PackageMetadata::Checkpoint.where(data_type: 'advisories').delete_all` 3. Trigger: ` PackageMetadata::AdvisoriesSyncWorker.new.perform` 4. Observe `NoMethodError: undefined method '>=' for nil` in Sidekiq logs. 5. Observe that no advisory data is ingested. ### What is the current _bug_ behavior? The worker enters the label-based sync path first, hits a comparison against `checkpoint.sequence == nil`, raises `NoMethodError`, and exits before the `listObjects` fallback is reached. ### What is the expected _correct_ behavior? A fresh instance with no saved checkpoint should fall back to the existing `listObjects` sync path and complete the initial advisory/license sync successfully. <details> <summary> ### Relevant logs
