My deployment is stuck at the release task which performs a database migration.

```auto
==> Creating release
Release v18 created
Release command detected: this new release will not be available until the command succeeds.

You can detach the terminal anytime without stopping the deployment
==> Release command
Command: /app/bin/homer eval Homer.Release.migrate
Running release task (pending)...⣷

```

My release command is :

```auto
[deploy]
  release_command = "/app/bin/homer eval Homer.Release.migrate"

```

From the logs I know that the migration was successful :

```auto

Did the new version get deployed? The release command and following release should both run even if the CLI hangs trying to monitor them.
