What happened?

Please note I use realtime compositions feature of crossplane 1.14

Some of my compositions are creating other composite resources, triggering near instant reconciliation of multiple nested level of composite/composed resources.

In a fair amount of tries, composition creation get stuck because of the following error:

2023-12-19T16:33:55Z    DEBUG    crossplane    cannot get composite resource    {"controller": "defined/compositeresourcedefinition.apiextensions.crossplane.io", "controller": "composite/xuserswithattachment.iam.crossplane.airnity.net", "request": {"name":"crossplane-dev-user"}, "error": "XUserWithAttachment.iam.crossplane.airnity.net \"crossplane-dev-user\" not found"} 

This error happens the exact moment composite is created by crossplane and should be reconciled.

There is maybe a race condition here and crossplane does not retry reconciliation so my composition is stuck until i delete the composite resource:

return reconcile.Result{}, errors.Wrap(resource.IgnoreNotFound(err), errGet)

How can we reproduce it?

I can make it happens regulary (once every 3/4 apply of my composition) with the setup i described: a composite resource creating other composite resources, realtime compositions feature enabled, and maybe functions are involved in the bug (server side apply?)

Here you can see on argocd, i delete my composition, and creation get stuck after the creation of XPolicy because of this bug. Crossplane never retries and I have to trigger a reconciliation manually, by deleting the XPolicy for example.

What environment did it happen in?

Crossplane version: 1.14.4
