Group nodes do not expose devStatus in the plugin API

Hey, while updating one of my plugins I noticed missing feature. When using the Figma Plugin API, the devStatus property is undefined for nodes of type GROUP, even if the group is marked as Ready for dev.

This causes an inconsistency between what’s visible in the UI and what’s accessible to plugins. Other node types, including FRAME, COMPONENT, INSTANCE, COMPONENT_SET, and SECTION  correctly expose their devStatus values.

Expected behavior:
If a group is marked as Ready for dev, its corresponding GroupNode should expose a valid devStatus object through the plugin API.

Actual behavior:
For GroupNode objects, devStatus is always undefined, even when the group is visibly marked as Ready for dev in Dev Mode.

Thanks and best
