ML framework correctness

TensorFlow

Corrected the xlogy and xlog1py gradients at x = 0, where a forward-pass mask erased a valid derivative. Updated the tests that expected the old result.

Retrieval & indexing

Swiftide

Deferred cache writes until processing completes. Preserved source identity through chunking, tracked filtered failures, and kept completion writes within the caches a source actually passed.

Merged PR #1164 ↗Read the story ↗

LLM inference

OGX

Closed upstream inference streams when consumers disconnect or abandon responses. The merged work includes the maintainer's context-handling fix.

Merged PR #6506 ↗

MCP tools

Apache Superset

Isolated database sessions for concurrent async MCP tool calls, so one invocation's cleanup cannot detach another invocation's objects. Preserved the default scope outside those calls.

Merged PR #42629 ↗

Pipeline observability

Swiftide

Added processing counters, per-model token usage, and timing statistics for indexing pipelines.

Merged PR #1038 ↗

Model artifacts

NVIDIA NVCF

Added a Function-to-Task reference pipeline to inventory model and dataset artifacts, with deterministic hashing and bounded polling.

Merged PR #457 ↗

Concurrency

Celery

Serialized shared Redis pub/sub access across result polling and subscription changes. Accounted for nested callbacks, idle waits, and replacement of inherited locks after a fork.

Merged PR #10671 ↗Read the story ↗

Distributed state

Apache Airflow

Recognized stale executor success events after a deferred task returned to QUEUED. Kept ordinary mismatch handling for tasks without a continuation marker.

Distributed storage

rqlite

Preserved snapshot ordering when the wall clock moves backwards.
