[Bug] menuBarInfo not updated correctly (only after canvas focus)

Update: After hours of trying different things to invalidate menuBarInfo with no joy and finally digging through the internal UXP JavaScript for answers, I came across the following descriptor that does exactly what I need. It produces a real-time uncached status for a given menu item (commandID) including both the enabled and checked properties.

{
    _obj: 'uiInfo',
    _target: {
      _ref: 'application',
      _enum: 'ordinal',
      _value: 'targetEnum',
    },
    command: 'getCommandEnabled',
    commandID: <commandID>,
  }

Executing this in a BatchPlay returns a result similar to the following:

{
    "result": {
        "commandID": 1002,
        "enabled": true,
        "checked": true
    },
    "command": "getCommandEnabled",
    "dontRecord": true,
    "forceNotify": true
}

I don’t know if this is an undocumented descriptor or how well it is supported.
If anyone has any further information, I would like to learn more about it.
