What happened?

The Core Issue: "The dashboard falsely implies a device is 'Up to Date' by hiding the update indicator immediately after a YAML edit (even a comment change) is saved, but before that change is actually compiled or deployed."
Security Impact: "In a managed environment, this creates a false sense of security. A user may believe a device is fully patched because no update button is visible, when in reality it is running an older, potentially vulnerable binary that does not match the current source code."

How to reproduce

Find a device with an available update.
Click 'Edit', add a space or comment, and hit 'Save'.
Observe that the 'Update/Install' button is now gone from the device card.
Verify via Home Assistant API or CLI that the firmware on the chip is still the old version.

Expected behavior

Because no compile/update/install has been performed, the update button should remain visible.

When I'm testing this issue, there seems to be about 1 or 2 seconds after the save button is pressed before the update button disappears. So, perhaps its seeing the timestamp change on the yaml file to be newer than the thing its being compared against? My expectation is that since the builder has not yet taken any building actions it should know what its not yet done and the update button should still remain. So, there seems to be a logic flaw in the current implementation.
