[aws-amplify] Creating an Amplify app fails to run build, manual intervention needed.

Creating an Amplify app fails to run build, manual intervention needed. Running it manually works.

Reproduction Steps

    const amplifyApp = new amplify.App(this, 'XXX', {
      sourceCodeProvider: new amplify.GitHubSourceCodeProvider({
        owner: 'XXX',
        repository: 'XXX',
        oauthToken: cdk.SecretValue.plainText(process.env.PAT as string)
      }),
    });
    const master = amplifyApp.addBranch('master');
    amplifyApp.addCustomRule(amplify.CustomRule.SINGLE_PAGE_APPLICATION_REDIRECT);
    const domain = amplifyApp.addDomain('XXX');
    domain.mapRoot(master);
    domain.mapSubDomain(master, 'www');

amplify.yml is repo

What did you expect to happen?

Amplify app goes live.

On the Amplify console I can see the first build never being triggered:

I had the same issue, ended up resolving it using a AwsCustomResource and an SDK call to start-job. My answer on Stack Overflow is here https://stackoverflow.com/a/72146964/6056963. There is also some more context in that answer.
