No latest updates on MacBook 16 Pro M1

I had updated my MacBook to Sonoma recently and after that, I didn't see any updates so I missed 14.1.1 and 14.1.2 security updates. I googled without success and investigated all parameters with the help of

/usr/bin/defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist and see nothing suspicious.

There is the only moment that bothers me and this is /var/log/install.log where I observe the following:

You can download the 14.2 full installer and see if it resolves your issue going forward.

When complete it will be in your Applications folder "Install macOS Sonoma.app" you can launch it from there like any other app.

to see all software update Installers via Terminal.app:

softwareupdate --list-full-installers

for the latest Sonoma

sudo softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 14.2

(sudo note: your psswd will not echo on screen type it in anyway, then to proceed use the enter\return key.)
