Description

Fixes cloud tenant outage reported in #4673 where POST /api/v1/add and POST /api/v1/search hung forever (0 bytes, http 000, up to 90s timeout) while all other routes answered <1.2s and /health reported healthy. Root causes: DatasetQueue semaphore (max_concurrent=6) leaked via stale DATASET_PROCESSING_INITIATED rows never reset → ensure_slot() blocked indefinitely while holding per-dataset lock; custom_openapi() threw on Annotated[UploadFile]/Union[UUID,Literal] annotations → /openapi.json 500; stale INITIATED never recovered at startup.

Changes:

  • cognee/infrastructure/databases/dataset_queue/queue.py: add DATASET_QUEUE_ACQUIRE_TIMEOUT (30s, env) with asyncio.wait_for on ensure_slot()/acquire(); on timeout raise CogneeApiError 503 DatasetQueueFull instead of hanging. HEALTH now surfaces pressure.
  • cognee/modules/pipelines/layers/reset_dataset_pipeline_run_status.py: only skip young INITIATED (<1h); stale INITIATED (> COGNEE_STALE_RUN_RECOVERY_MIN_AGE_SECONDS 3600s) now resettable — fixes 56h INITIATED stuck.
  • cognee/modules/cognify/recovery.py: recover_stale_cognify_runs_on_startup() now handles both STARTED and INITIATED; for INITIATED just reset, for STARTED rollback + reset. Switched to get_latest_pipeline_runs_by_datasets (dev) helper.
  • cognee/api/client.py: wrap get_openapi() + security mutation in try/except, return minimal fallback {"openapi":"3.0.0"...} so /openapi.json never 500s.
  • cognee/api/v1/health/health.py: add check_dataset_queue() to critical checks; reports UNHEALTHY when no slots free, DEGRADED when ≤⅓ free, so /health reflects actual read/write capability.

Acceptance Criteria

  • POST /api/v1/add and POST /api/v1/search return 4xx/5xx or 503 within bounded timeout instead of hanging, even when queue is full or payload is malformed {"unsinn":1}
  • GET /openapi.json returns 200 (fallback) instead of 500 when schema generation fails
  • GET /api/v1/datasets/status no longer stuck in DATASET_PROCESSING_INITIATED for >1h; stagnant runs recovered at startup and via add reset
  • GET /health reports dataset_queue: UNHEALTHY/DEGRADED when queue pressured, not silently healthy

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)

uv run python -c "dataset_queue timeout" → CogneeApiError 503 after 0.2s, queue UNHEALTHY when full / HEALTHY when free
uv run python -c "custom_openapi fallback" → fallback 3.0.0 when get_openapi fails, normal has ApiKeyAuth

- mark all LLM/embedding secrets as required:false in reusable
  workflows (basic_tests, e2e, cli, slow_e2e, adapter_caching,
  db_examples, relational, reusable_notebook, test_different_os)
  so 'secrets: inherit' on fork PRs no longer fails validation
  with 'Secret LLM_PROVIDER is required' (174 errors in run
  33062047930)
- add needs+if fork gate to OS matrix jobs in test_suites.yml and
  gate 18 LLM-dependent suites with 'head.repo == base' check
- allow notify check to treat 'skipped' as success so fork PRs
  show green when LLM suites are skipped

Fixes fork PR CI for topoteretes#4690, aligns with pre_test/test_mcp pattern
and production checklist (least privilege, timeout, concurrency)

- add timeout to DatasetQueue.ensure_slot/acquire to avoid infinite
  semaphore wait; return 503 DatasetQueueFull instead of hanging
- recover stale DATASET_PROCESSING_INITIATED runs at startup and allow
  reset of INITIATED older than threshold (fixes 56h stuck datasets)
- wrap custom_openapi generation in try/except with fallback schema
- add dataset_queue pressure to health checks
