Description

fetch_latest_conf can return nil when the referenced resource has already been deleted. get_nodes_ver and set_nodes_ver_and_nodes used the returned value immediately, which could raise an attempt to index a nil value.

This PR adds nil guards for that case. get_nodes_ver now returns nil when the latest resource config is unavailable, and set_nodes_ver_and_nodes exits without updating nodes when the resource no longer exists.

Thanks for the fix! The two nil guards look good. Could you add regression tests for both helpers when the resource does not exist? Also, please add the fix: prefix to the PR title, for example: fix: handle missing resource config in node version helpers.
