Operator-flagged 2026-05-28: tag_and_embed on image 6288 (an mp4) was
marked failed by recover_stalled_task_runs at the 5-min sweep tick
while still legitimately running. The error_type='RecoverySweep' /
"no completion signal received within 5 min" message was misleading
— the worker was busy, not stuck.
Root cause is two interacting limits, both undersized for video work:
tag_and_embed: soft_time_limit=300, time_limit=420
(sized for the image branch, ≈2 GPU ops)
recovery sweep: STUCK_THRESHOLD_MINUTES = 5 across all queues
The video branch samples 10 frames via ffmpeg, then runs tagger +
embedder on EACH frame — ~20 GPU ops vs 2 for an image. A loaded
ml-worker can take 5-10 min on a long video, which trips both
limits well before the task naturally finishes.
**Two-part fix**
1. `tag_and_embed` time limits bumped to soft=900 (15 min) / time=1200
(20 min). Sized for the video path's worst case; image runs return
in seconds and don't care.
2. New `QUEUE_STUCK_THRESHOLD_MINUTES` override dict in maintenance.py.
Queues with legitimately-long-running tasks (currently just `ml` at
25 min — 5-min buffer past the new hard kill) get their own
threshold; queues not in the dict use the default 5 min. The sweep
now issues one UPDATE per distinct threshold value, with
`queue.notin_(override_queues)` on the default pass so each row is
touched at most once.
Tests:
- _make_task_run helper accepts `queue=` (defaults to "default") so
existing tests use the default-threshold path.
- New test `test_recover_stalled_task_runs_ml_queue_uses_longer_threshold`
pins both directions: a 10-min-old ml row survives (fresh by 25-min
override), a 30-min-old ml row gets flagged.
After deploy, operator's mp4 ML jobs run to completion without
spurious RecoverySweep failures.
scan_directory creates ImportTask rows with status='pending' (commit) then
in a second pass transitions to 'queued' + .delay() (commit). Crashes in
that window leave rows orphaned with no recovery path. Operator hit 5490
such rows 2026-05-25; the existing sweep only handled 'processing'.
Flipping to 'failed' (not re-enqueue) lets the operator drain via the
existing /api/import/retry-failed endpoint at their own pace.

The CI failure resolving 'postgres' hostname was the symptom; the cause is
that the workflow violated FabledRulebook/forgejo.md's "CI philosophy —
lint + short unit tests only" rule. Integration tests against a real
Postgres are supposed to run locally via docker-compose, not in CI.
Changes:
- Marked 8 DB-dependent test files with @pytest.mark.integration:
test_tag_service, test_importer, test_gallery_service, test_api_gallery,
test_api_tags, test_api_settings, test_api_import_admin, test_maintenance.
- CI workflow drops the postgres/redis service containers and the alembic
upgrade smoke step entirely.
- Pytest invocation in CI changes to `pytest -v -m "not integration"`.
- Added pytest marker registration to pyproject.toml.
- DB_PASSWORD and SECRET_KEY env vars retained because config.py reads
them at import time even though unit tests don't actually use them
(set to placeholder values).
What CI now runs:
- ruff check
- pytest on the 6 unit test files: test_slug, test_paths,
test_migration_0002, test_thumbnailer, test_celery_smoke,
test_tasks_register.
- npm install + npm run build
What CI no longer runs:
- alembic upgrade (no live DB)
- the 8 integration test files (these run locally via docker-compose)

Ruff lint surfaced 23 violations across three rules; all addressed:
UP017 (Use datetime.UTC alias):
Replaced 13 sites of datetime.now(timezone.utc) with datetime.now(UTC),
also adjusted from-imports accordingly. UTC is a Python 3.11+ alias for
timezone.utc that ruff's pyupgrade rules prefer.
UP042 (StrEnum):
Replaced `class TagKind(str, Enum)` and `class SkipReason(str, Enum)`
with `class Foo(StrEnum)`. StrEnum was added in Python 3.11 stdlib and
is the modern idiom. Behavior is equivalent for our usage (the .value
attribute, str(member) semantics).
I001 (Import sorting):
Added `known-first-party = ["backend"]` to ruff.toml's [lint.isort] so
ruff groups `backend.*` imports correctly. Without it, ruff treated
them as third-party and demanded a different grouping. The existing
import order is stdlib → third-party → first-party → local relative,
which ruff now accepts.

recover_interrupted_tasks runs every 5 minutes, finds ImportTask rows
stuck in 'processing' for >30 minutes (well above any legitimate import
duration), and re-queues them. cleanup_old_tasks runs daily and deletes
finished tasks older than 7 days so the task table stays an operational
view rather than an archive.
Both thresholds match ImageRepo's precedent. The 30-min stuck threshold
is documented inline so a future reader can adjust it intentionally
rather than mistaking it for a 'magic number'.
