Super not finding latest MacOS Update (15.2, stuck on 15.1.1)
Super is unable to find the latest MacOS update (15.2), and is therefore currently stuck on 15.1.1 on all of my test devices.
I have deployed this through Jamf Pro to a group of test devices, below is the current configuration.
Configuration Policies:

Below is the most important section of the affected log files that can be used to demonstrate the mentioned behavior, all laptops in this test group are displaying the same logs. It seems like the devices are unable to find the MacOS Update (15.2), even though it is listed locally on every mac in the test group.

This is what it is supposed to look like accordingly to the Troubleshooting wiki: super.log line entry example: Tue Oct 10 06:58:29 ASVM-13-0 super[4450]: Status: A macOS minor update is available: macOS Ventura 13.6-22G120
I have not seen this on any device, is there a specific .plist key or something else that I am missing?
mdmclient-list.log > Empty even when the mac is locally showing that 15.2 is available for update > Maybe super is just failing to find the update available on the system instead of downloading the update from apple?
Software updates listed for this device within Jamf Pro: macOS Sequoia 15.2 | macOS Sequoia 15.2-24C101 | 15.2
Software Update Tool
Finding available software Software Update found the following new or updated software:
- Label: SafariTechPreview-212 Title: Safari Technology Preview, Version: 212, Size: 167778KiB, Recommended: YES,

Sorry for the delayed response.
Are you using a deferrral configuration profile as well? This is the most likley cause of an update being unavailable to super.
