[detect_move] fix: reset collection status on repo move to prevent scheduler stall

[mn-ram]

Description

When detect_github_repo_move_core or detect_github_repo_move_secondary detects a 301-redirected repository, the task previously raised Retry() with no arguments. Celery does not forward positional args on a bare Retry, so the task would restart with the original (now-stale) repo_git, crash, and leave core_status stuck in COLLECTING. Once all 40 scheduler slots were occupied by these stalled tasks, augur_collection_monitor stopped dispatching any new Core collection work — requiring manual container restarts to recover.

This PR fixes the root cause by using self.retry(args=[new_url], countdown=0, max_retries=1) so the task restarts immediately with the correct, updated repo_git. All downstream tasks in the chain then run against the new URL. No collection-status columns are modified; the existing on_success handler manages state cleanup as normal.

Fixes #3667

Changes

• augur/tasks/github/detect_move/tasks.py:
  • Add bind=True to both task decorators so self is available
  • Replace bare pass / Retry() with self.retry(args=[e.new_url], countdown=0, max_retries=1) on RepoMovedException
  • Fall back to Reject if new_url is not present

Notes for Reviewers

self.retry raises celery.exceptions.Retry internally, so the raise is the standard Celery pattern. countdown=0 means the retry is enqueued immediately with no delay. max_retries=1 prevents an infinite loop if the new URL also returns 301.

I really dont think we should be changing the task status things as a solution to this problem.

the whole reason for calling retry is to cause the task to start over with the updated repo name so that all the downstream tasks are run on the correct/newly updated repository name

Hi @MoralCode, I've addressed your feedback:

• Removed all collection-status changes — core.py is untouched by this PR
• Using self.retry(args=[new_url], countdown=0, max_retries=1) so the task restarts immediately with the correct URL
• Added unit tests covering the retry and reject paths

Could you take another look when you get a chance? Thanks!

If the task resterts, does the entire rest of the chain get the new URL?

[mn-ram]

Yes, the rest of the chain gets the new URL. ping_github_for_repo_movecallsupdate_repo_with_dict(), which updates repo_git in the DB before the exception is raised. So when self.retry(args=[new_url]) re-executes the current task, the DB already has the new URL—and all downstream tasks read from the DB, so they automatically pick it up.

executes the current task, the DB already has the new URL—and all downstream tasks read from the DB, so they automatically pick it up.

I'm fairly sure that many of the tasks would already have been scheduled in celery, potentially before the move detection ever runs. Was there particular documentation you found that led you to your conclusion?

[mn-ram]

You're right — I investigated further and confirmed the issue.

All downstream collection tasks are built with .si(repo_git) (Celery's immutable signature), so the old URL is baked into their callbacks at chain-construction time. Since detect_github_repo_move_core is the first task in the chain, the downstream tasks are stored as callbacks in the task message (not yet on the broker), so self.retry() only re-ran the detection step while leaving those stale callbacks in place.

Fix applied:

Instead of self.retry(), the handler now:

1. Sets self.request.chain = None — discards the downstream callbacks before Celery can dispatch them (same pattern already used in task_failed_util).
2. Resets core_status / secondary_status to PENDING in the DB so the scheduler picks the repo up again in the next cycle with the correct new URL already in the DB.
3. Returns cleanly.

Updated the test to assert request.chain is None and core_status == PENDING instead of the old retry assertion.
