Defect HC-13225
auth.inventory is not consistently updating the product index
Software

Observed behavior
When FilterOutOfStockInventoryExpression is used to filter out any out-of-stock items, some items appear to have inventory but do not.
Expected behavior
The out of stock filter should not be allowing products without inventory through to the storefront.
Resolution
FilterOutOfStockInventoryExpression relies on the product index to contain up-to-date inventory information about products. In some instances, insufficient indexing service wait times led to the product index being out-of-date, showing stale inventory counts.
