HACS already creates clickable update entities for every integration and frontend card it tracks, but checks them on a schedule spread out to stay within GitHub's rate limit. This adds a Spook button that has Home Assistant poll every one of them immediately, so a repository's own developer does not have to wait for HACS's next scheduled scan (or dig into Developer Tools to call homeassistant.update_entity by hand) after pushing a new release.

include the HACS dependency, ensuring HACS initializes before the setup flow in
async_setup_entry checks HACS_DOMAIN and registers the button.

Home Assistant integration manifest after_dependencies optional integration setup ordering documentation
💡 Result:
In Home Assistant, the after_dependencies key in an integration's manifest.json file is used to define "soft" dependencies—integrations that should be set up before your integration if they are present in the system, but are not strictly required for your integration to load [1][2]. Key characteristics of after_dependencies include: 1. Setup Ordering: If an integration listed in after_dependencies is configured (via YAML or a config entry), Home Assistant will ensure it is set up before your integration [1][3]. 2. Optional Nature: Unlike the dependencies key—where the failure or absence of a listed integration prevents your integration from loading—your integration will still load if an after_dependency is missing [1][2]. 3. Requirement Installation: Home Assistant ensures that the requirements of any listed after_dependencies are installed, allowing you to safely import methods from those integrations regardless of whether they are actively configured [1][4]. 4. Built-in vs. Custom: For built-in integrations, after_dependencies may only list other built-in integrations. Custom integrations, however, are permitted to list both built-in and custom integrations [1][3]. When designing integrations, after_dependencies is the recommended alternative to dependencies when a connection to another integration is optional or non-critical [1]. The system generally promotes the setup of these dependencies during the bootstrap process to provide a consistent loading experience [5].

Make the optional HACS setup ordering explicit.
Add hacs to after_dependencies in custom_components/spook/manifest.json. Otherwise, Spook can set up first, return from async_setup_entry, and never register the button.

Description
Adds a new Spook ectoplasm for HACS: a single button entity, button.hacs_check_for_updates, that only appears once HACS itself is set up. Pressing it looks up every update.* entity that belongs to HACS in the entity registry and calls the built-in homeassistant.update_entity action on all of them at once, forcing an immediate check instead of waiting for HACS's own scheduled scan.
Nothing here duplicates HACS itself: HACS 2.0+ already creates clickable, install-able update entities for every tracked integration and frontend card on its own — that part needed no code. The one real gap is that HACS's own recheck schedule is spread out to stay within GitHub's API rate limit, so a repository's own developer who just pushed a new release has no quick way to make Home Assistant notice it without opening Developer Tools and calling the action by hand. This button is that shortcut.
Motivation and Context
Requested to add update-checking for HACS integrations/cards, alongside the update checking Spook already has for blueprints. After confirming HACS already provides clickable per-repository update entities and that homeassistant.update_entity already forces an immediate recheck, the remaining gap (raised directly by the requester, who develops their own integrations) was the day-to-day friction of triggering that recheck without digging into Developer Tools.
How has this been tested?
Home Assistant / pytest-homeassistant-custom-component could not be installed in this sandbox (pinned to Python 3.14.2+, and only a 3.14.0rc2 build is available here), so the full test suite could not be run directly. Instead:
Screenshots (if appropriate):
N/A — a new button entity, no UI beyond a standard entity card.
