Conversation
Three consecutive demo queries failed live on 2026-07-29 with "Stream error: network error". The backend never errored; the response body went silent for the whole SQL-generation phase and the connection was severed mid-flight. Streaming (the incident): - Add `with_keepalive`, wrapping the serialized stream so a bare delimiter is emitted every 10s while the pipeline produces nothing. A bare delimiter splits into an empty part, which every existing client parser already skips, so this needs no protocol or client change. Applied to all four streaming endpoints (query, confirm, refresh, connect-database). - Set `Cache-Control: no-cache, no-transform` and `X-Accel-Buffering: no` to discourage intermediaries from buffering the body. The media type stays `application/json`: the wire format is delimited JSON, not SSE, so declaring `text/event-stream` would misdescribe it. Migrating to real SSE is a follow-up. - Move every synchronous LLM call off the event loop via `asyncio.to_thread`: `get_analysis`, `heal_and_execute`, the follow-up agent and both `format_ai_response` calls. `RelevancyAgent.get_answer` was `async def` but called `run_completion` synchronously, so its `create_task` concurrency with table-finding was illusory and it blocked the loop too. This is why the failures clustered across users rather than hitting one request. Instrumentation (why it stayed undiagnosable): - `run_completion` now applies `Config.LLM_TIMEOUT` (default 90s), passed to litellm so it aborts the HTTP request rather than hanging forever, and logs every call's duration with a caller label. Calls over `LLM_SLOW_CALL_THRESHOLD` (default 20s) log at WARNING. The analysis agent had zero instrumentation, so the original slowness left no trace at all. - Route `HealerAgent` through `run_completion` so it inherits both; it called `litellm.completion` directly and had no timeout. UI: - The `sqlQuery !== undefined` render guard was always true, since `sqlQuery` is initialized to `""`. Failed runs painted an empty "Query Analysis" card, which made the screenshots misleading. Guard on truthiness. Memory (present in the same logs, unrelated to the failure): - Default `AZURE_API_VERSION` to `2025-03-01-preview`. Graphiti's client uses the Azure Responses API, which rejects older versions with HTTP 400, so every episode write was failing. - `len(history[1])` threw on the first message of a session, where the client sends no result array. Use a falsy check. - Log the previously silent `except` in `update_user_information`, which hid the failure on that path entirely. Tests: 6 new unit tests for the keepalive wrapper covering pass-through, silent-gap emission, client-parser compatibility, exception propagation and teardown on client disconnect. Verified at the wire level against uvicorn: keepalive frames arrive every ~0.4s through a 2s silent gap.

Simulating a hung provider (a local server that accepts the request and never replies) showed the timeout aborts, but far later than configured: a 3s LLM_TIMEOUT took 10.81s to fail, because `timeout` is per attempt and both the provider SDK and litellm apply their own retry loops on top. Extrapolated to the 90s default, worst case was ~270s — long enough to defeat the point of having a timeout. Pin the budget: `max_retries` comes from the new LLM_MAX_RETRIES (default 1) and litellm's outer `num_retries` loop is disabled, so the two do not multiply. Measured after the change: the same hung provider fails in 3.19s against a 3s timeout. Refs: research#86 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The off-topic test asserted that the SQL card *is* visible with no SQL behind it, which encoded the phantom "Query Analysis" card from the 2026-07-29 incident rather than guarding against it. An off-topic query never reaches SQL generation: the pipeline emits only `reasoning_step` and `followup_questions`, no `sql_query` event. Since `analysisInfo` is populated solely in the `sql_query` branch, the card had nothing to render — no SQL, and no explanation either, because `isValid` defaults to true when unset. It drew a bare header. The off-topic reason already reaches the user as a normal AI message, which the test still asserts. Verified the event sequence against the real `run_query` pipeline with the relevancy agent returning Off-topic. Refs: research#86 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview
This PR hardens QueryWeaver’s streaming endpoints against proxy idle timeouts and event-loop starvation by adding a keepalive wrapper around delimited JSON streams, and by moving synchronous LLM work off the asyncio event loop while also adding LLM timeout/retry instrumentation. It also fixes a frontend/UI artifact that could render an empty “Query Analysis” card on failed/off-topic runs.
Changes:
- Add
with_keepalivewrapper + anti-buffering headers and apply them to all streaming endpoints (query/confirm/refresh/connect). - Add LLM call instrumentation and bounded timeout/retry settings via
Config+run_completion, and offload known sync LLM calls withasyncio.to_thread. - Fix frontend + E2E expectations to avoid rendering/asserting a phantom “Query Analysis” SQL card when no SQL exists.

- Like
update_user_information, thisasyncmethod calls litellm’s synchronouscompletion()a few lines below. Because this runs inside the event loop (and is used by the background memory task), it can still block the loop and interfere with streaming responses. Run the completion off-loop and apply the configured timeout/retry bounds.

LiteLLM 1.83.0 completion timeout max_retries num_retries retry semantics official documentation
💡 Result:
In LiteLLM, completion retries and timeouts are managed through configurable parameters that allow for granular control over request reliability [1][2]. Retry Semantics LiteLLM employs automatic retry logic for failed requests, specifically targeting transient errors such as APIErrors, TimeoutErrors, and ServiceUnavailableErrors [3][2]. - Default Behavior: By default, LiteLLM performs 2 retries (resulting in 3 total attempts including the initial request) [2]. - Configuration: You can override the default global setting by setting litellm.num_retries = N or by passing num_retries=N directly into the completion() call [2]. - Execution Order: LiteLLM follows a specific hierarchy: it first exhausts all configured retries for a specific model/deployment, and only if those fail, does it proceed to execute configured fallbacks (switching to a different model or deployment) [2][4]. - Backoff: LiteLLM uses automatic exponential backoff to manage retry timing, helping to mitigate pressure on the provider [2]. Timeout Semantics - Global & Per-Request: The timeout parameter (in seconds) defines the maximum duration allowed for a completion request. It defaults to 600 seconds if not specified [3][5]. - Scope: When using the LiteLLM Router, the timeout configured at the router level applies to the entire length of the call and is propagated to the underlying completion() call [6][5]. - Streaming: For streaming responses, a stream_timeout can be configured to specifically cap the time allowed to wait for the first token, which is useful for aborting hanging providers [5]. Key Distinctions - Retries vs. Fallbacks: Retries occur within the same model/deployment group, whereas fallbacks shift the request to a different model group [2][4]. - Router Role: When using the Router, num_retries can be configured within the litellm_params of your model list to set default behavior for specific deployments [2]. Retries in the router attempt to access another available deployment within the same model group before failing over to a fallback [4].

LiteLLM 1.83.0 max_retries completion parameter forwarded provider SDK timeout per attempt num_retries=0
💡 Result:
In LiteLLM, max_retries and num_retries serve distinct roles and their interaction depends on how the call is made [1]. ### Parameter Roles and Interaction * num_retries (LiteLLM-owned): This controls the retry loop managed by LiteLLM itself (or its Router) [2][3]. It is the recommended parameter for handling retries in most application logic [2]. * max_retries (Provider-SDK-owned): This is passed directly to the underlying provider's SDK client (e.g., the OpenAI library's AsyncOpenAI(max_retries=...) constructor) [4]. It controls retries performed inside the provider SDK before it returns control to LiteLLM [3]. ### The "Retry Amplification" Risk Using both parameters simultaneously can lead to silent retry multiplication, where the total number of attempts is the product of the two retry configurations [3]. For example, if num_retries=3 and the default provider max_retries=2 are both active, a single request can result in up to 12 HTTP attempts [3]. Setting max_retries=0 is a documented best practice to prevent this nested retry behavior and ensure that LiteLLM's num_retries policy is the sole retry owner [1][3]. ### Routed vs. Direct Calls * Router/Proxy-Originated Calls: When using the LiteLLM Router or Proxy, LiteLLM now automatically forces the provider-SDK max_retries to 0 [1]. This prevents the Router's retry loop from double-counting with the provider SDK's internal retries [1]. * Direct completion() Calls: For direct calls that do not involve the Router, max_retries is still passed to the provider SDK if explicitly set [1]. Setting max_retries=0 manually in these calls is effective for disabling provider-SDK retries [1][3]. ### Timeout Behavior LiteLLM's timeout parameter applies per attempt, not to the total duration of all retries [5]. If timeout=3s and max_retries=2 (or num_retries=2), a single conceptual request could potentially block for the duration of multiple attempts (e.g., 3s + 3s + 3s = 9s total), which may conflict with external request timeouts (e.g., in FastAPI) [5]. ### Summary of num_retries=0 Explicitly setting num_retries=0 in a completion() call correctly disables LiteLLM's internal retry loop [6][7]. When combined with max_retries=0, this ensures that no retries are performed at either the LiteLLM or provider-SDK level [1].

site:docs.litellm.ai/docs completion timeout per attempt retries total duration LiteLLM
💡 Result:
In LiteLLM, timeouts, retries, and durations are managed through a combination of per-attempt configurations and global router settings. Timeouts - The timeout parameter defines the maximum time (in seconds) allowed for a completion request [1][2]. It defaults to 600 seconds [2] (or 10 minutes [3]). - This parameter applies to the entire duration of the call [1][4]. - A separate stream_timeout parameter can be used to set the maximum time to wait for the first chunk (first token) in a streaming response [1][5]. - Timeouts can be set globally, per model in litellm_params, or per individual request [1][6]. Retries - The num_retries parameter defines how many times LiteLLM should automatically retry a request if it encounters errors such as APIError, TimeoutError, or ServiceUnavailableError [7][2]. - The default number of retries is 3 [3]. - When using the Router, each deployment in a fallback sequence receives its own set of retries before the system attempts to fall back to the next model in the list [6]. Total Duration and Monitoring - LiteLLM tracks the total duration and retry attempts for each request, which can be monitored via response headers [8]. - x-litellm-response-duration-ms: Provides the total end-to-end duration of the request from the LiteLLM Proxy [8]. - x-litellm-overhead-duration-ms: Measures the internal processing overhead of LiteLLM [8]. - x-litellm-attempted-retries: Indicates the number of retry attempts made for that specific request [8]. For advanced configurations, these values can be set via config.yaml (when using the LiteLLM Proxy) or passed directly as arguments to the completion function [7][2][6]. [1][7][8][5][2][3][4][6]

LiteLLM v1.83.0 GitHub source num_retries max_retries timeout direct completion implementation
💡 Result:
In LiteLLM v1.83.0, the handling of retries and timeouts for completion calls is differentiated based on whether you are using the Router or making direct calls [1]. num_retries vs. max_retries: - num_retries: This is the primary parameter for LiteLLM's internal retry mechanism [2][3]. It enables retries with exponential backoff for specific errors like APIError, TimeoutError, or ServiceUnavailableError [2]. You can set it globally via litellm.num_retries, per-request in completion, or within Router configurations [2][4]. - max_retries: This parameter is primarily mapped to the underlying provider's SDK client (e.g., OpenAI/Azure) [1][5]. In recent versions, LiteLLM has clarified the distinction: for Router-managed requests, the Router acts as the sole retry owner, and provider-level max_retries are often forced to 0 to prevent "double-counting" or nested retry loops [1]. For direct (non-routed) calls, max_retries is honored and passed through to the provider's HTTP transport [1][5]. Timeout Implementation: - The timeout parameter in completion defines the maximum duration in seconds for a request [3]. - When using the Router, the timeout specified applies to the entire length of the call [6]. Additionally, Router configurations support stream_timeout to specifically cap the time spent waiting for the first chunk of a streaming response [6]. - If you set a timeout, it is used to constrain the request; if the request exceeds this limit, it may trigger a retry if num_retries is also configured [2]. Key Implementation Details: - The Router uses its own internal logic (e.g., async_function_with_retries) to manage failures, which is independent of the provider-SDK's retry logic [1][7]. - LiteLLM maintains an explicit distinction where num_retries is for LiteLLM's retry loop and max_retries is reserved for the provider's native client retry mechanism in direct, non-routed calls [1]. Sources: [2][1][5][3][6]

Enforce a total-call deadline when retries are enabled.
In this direct completion() path, timeout applies to each provider request. With LLM_MAX_RETRIES=1, a timed-out request can run a second attempt and retry backoff beyond the configured 90-second limit. num_retries=0 disables LiteLLM retries only.
Update api/config.py and api/agents/utils.py to enforce a total-call deadline, or set retries to zero for a strict 90-second limit. Prevent **kwargs from bypassing these settings unless intentional.

Six findings from the Copilot and CodeRabbit reviews: - The memory path had the same blocking-call bug this PR fixes elsewhere: `update_user_information` and `summarize_conversation` are `async` but called `litellm.completion` synchronously, and they run as detached tasks via `save_memory_background` — so they could stall unrelated streaming responses. Both now go through `run_completion` inside `asyncio.to_thread`, which also gives them the shared timeout and retry bounds. (Copilot) - The render guard still had a hole: `analysisInfo` is built with all five keys defined unconditionally, so `Object.keys(...).length > 0` was always true once any `sql_query` event arrived, even with every value undefined. Check the values instead, and trim the SQL before rendering. (CodeRabbit) - The off-topic E2E assertion used `isSQLQueryMessageVisible()`, which catches locator errors and returns false, so it would pass on a broken selector. Use a strict `toHaveCount(0)` web-first assertion via a new public `sqlQueryCard` accessor, matching the existing `confirmationDialog` precedent. (CodeRabbit) - `AZURE_API_VERSION` examples in README.md and examples/README.md still showed 2024-12-01-preview, which the Responses API rejects. (CodeRabbit) - `custom_model` / `custom_api_key` annotated `str | None`. (CodeRabbit) - Test module docstring referred to `_with_keepalive`; the exported name is `with_keepalive`.

…eview) Both findings from @Naseem77 are valid, and they matter more than "two more instances of the same pattern": a keepalive cannot be written while the event loop is blocked, so these two calls could defeat the keepalive this PR adds. - `api/graph.py` `find()` called litellm and the embedding provider synchronously before its first await, while being launched via `asyncio.create_task`. That made its concurrency with the relevancy agent illusory and blocked the loop — and it is the call that logs "Calling LLM to find relevant tables/columns", the last line before the stall in the 2026-07-29 logs. Now offloaded via `asyncio.to_thread` and routed through `run_completion`, so it also picks up the shared timeout and duration logging. The embedding call is offloaded too. - `loader_class.execute_sql_query` ran on the loop in both `run_query` and `run_confirmed`. A slow query blocked every other request and stopped keepalives on its own stream. Both now offloaded. The third call site, inside `_run_sql`, already runs within the healer's thread and is left synchronous. Verified with the incident harness. With the keepalive enabled but these calls back on the loop, a 12s stall still severs the stream and delivers **zero** keepalives. With them offloaded, keepalives flow every 2s through the whole execution phase and the query completes. Starvation probe during a slow query: 63 requests served, 0.00s worst latency. All graph queries on this path were already using the async client and needed no change. Refs: research#86 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

@Naseem77 both valid — fixed in 4d633cf. And they matter more than I'd credited: a keepalive can't be written while the event loop is blocked, so either of these could have defeated the keepalive this PR adds. Your #1 is especially pointed — I proved the interaction on the incident harness. With the keepalive fully enabled but these calls back on the loop, a 12s stall behind a 5s idle timeout still kills the stream and delivers zero keepalives: With them offloaded, same 12s stall in SQL execution: Starvation probe during a slow query: 63 What I changed
On your suggested alternatives: I went with offloading rather than async provider APIs / async drivers. Threads bound the change to this PR and keep behaviour identical, whereas swapping the DB layer to async drivers is a much larger migration. Statement/connection timeouts on the loaders are a real gap and worth a separate issue — offloading stops one slow query from blocking everyone, but it does not bound how long that query itself can run. I also checked the rest of this path while in there: every graph query in |

These
asyncio.to_threadcalls correctly move SQL execution off the event loop. However, the suppliedapi/loaders/postgres_loader.pyimplementation still callspsycopg2.connectandcursor.executewithout connection or statement timeouts. A stalled query can occupy a worker indefinitely and reduce capacity for the otherto_threadcalls. Ifrun_confirmedis cancelled, the synchronous destructive query can continue in the worker thread after the awaiting task is cancelled. Add database-side timeouts and define cancellation or idempotency behavior for confirmed operations. Python documents thatasyncio.to_thread()runs the function in another thread and cancellation affects the awaited Future; therefore, cancellation does not stop a synchronous call already running in that thread. (docs.python.org)The supplied loader contract and PR objective identify this as a separate reliability gap.

… idle tests Addresses the remaining items from @Naseem77's review. Items 1 and 2 of his list (offload table-finding and SQL execution) landed in 4d633cf, ten minutes after that review was written against 779c7ec. **Keepalive teardown.** Rewrote `with_keepalive` so the producer runs as a task feeding a queue, instead of this generator racing `anext` against a timeout. The previous version cleaned up by awaiting a cancellation and then calling `aclose()` on the inner generator; once cancellation is pending an `await` re-raises immediately, which could leave that `aclose()` racing an in-flight pull — the `asynchronous generator is already running` signature. Cleanup is now a single non-awaiting `cancel()`, and the inner stream is consumed by a plain `async for` so its closure follows ordinary task cancellation. Note: I could not reproduce that error locally — abrupt ASGI disconnect, task cancellation mid-gap, a 60-step sweep of cancellation timings, and teardown during a non-cancellable `to_thread` call all completed cleanly on both the old and new code. The rewrite removes the construct that produces that signature rather than being verified against a reproduction. **DB timeouts**, bounding execution now that it runs in a worker thread that cannot be cancelled: `DB_CONNECT_TIMEOUT` (10s) and `DB_STATEMENT_TIMEOUT` (60s), applied in `execute_sql_query` for PostgreSQL (`connect_timeout` plus a server-side `statement_timeout`), MySQL (connect/read/write timeouts) and Snowflake (login/network timeouts plus `STATEMENT_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS`). Scoped to query execution, leaving the schema-load path unchanged. Loader values use `setdefault` so a URL-supplied value still wins. **Tests.** `tests/test_stream_idle_timeout.py` drives the real `run_query` through the real serializer and asserts the stream never idles longer than the keepalive interval, with the stall injected into the analysis, table-finding and SQL-execution stages in turn. `tests/test_find_offloading.py` asserts `api.graph.find` keeps the loop responsive. Both were checked against injected regressions: putting the analysis and SQL calls back on the loop fails with "no keepalive during the ... stall", and un-offloading `find` fails with "event loop was starved: 1 ticks in 1.20s (expected roughly 60)". Two more keepalive teardown tests cover cancellation timing and producer cleanup. Refs: research#86 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

cursoris created outside the worker thread and then handed toasyncio.to_thread(MySQLLoader.extract_tables_info, cursor, ...)/extract_relationships. Sinceasyncio.to_threadmay run on different threads per call, this risks using the same MySQL connection/cursor across multiple threads, which pymysql does not guarantee is safe.

cursoris created on the event-loop thread and then passed intoasyncio.to_thread(SnowflakeLoader.extract_tables_info/relationships, cursor, ...).asyncio.to_threaddoes not guarantee the same worker thread across calls, so this can result in the same Snowflake cursor/connection being used from different threads.
To avoid undefined behavior, keep all Snowflake driver calls on one dedicated thread/executor for the duration of load(), or move connect + cursor + extraction + close into one to_thread call and return the extracted data.
conn = await asyncio.to_thread(
snowflake.connector.connect, **conn_params

cursoris created on the main thread, then passed into multipleasyncio.to_thread(...)calls (extract_tables_info,extract_relationships, etc.).asyncio.to_threaddoes not guarantee the same worker thread each call, and DB driver cursors/connections are typically not safe to use across different threads. This can lead to intermittent crashes or undefined behavior during schema loads.
Consider running all DB-driver interactions for load() on a single dedicated worker thread (e.g., a per-call ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=1) used for connect/cursor/extract/close), or move the full introspection (connect + search_path + extract tables + extract relationships) into a single to_thread call so the cursor never crosses threads.

…harden clamps Fourth review from @Naseem77; all four findings were valid, and the first two are consequences of the `to_thread` offloading added earlier in this PR. **1. Off-topic requests orphaned speculative work.** `find_task` and `memory_tool_task` were started before the relevancy check. Cancelling a task whose thread is blocked in a socket read does not stop that thread, so an off-topic question abandoned the task while the provider call ran to completion — consuming executor capacity and provider quota after the response had been sent, and `memory_tool_task` was never cancelled or awaited at all. Repeated off-topic requests could saturate the thread pool every other offloaded call depends on. Relevancy now runs first, and the concurrent work starts only once the question is known to be answerable; the two tasks are gathered together so neither is left unobserved if the other fails. Cost is one relevancy round-trip on answerable questions, which the original code called a "small perf win" in the other direction. Verified on the harness: an off-topic query now logs only `llm_call label=relevancy` — no find, no embedding. **2. Schema loading mishandled resources on cancellation.** PostgreSQL closed the cursor and connection from the generator's `finally`, which can run while an offloaded introspection is still using them — two threads on one connection. MySQL and Snowflake had no `finally` at all, so any failure or disconnect leaked the session outright. Connect, cursor, introspection and cleanup now live in a single worker (`_introspect_schema`) with `try/finally`, so the thread that owns the resources is the one that closes them. **3. The timeout clamp was bypassable.** libpq applies the last directive, so `statement_timeout=1000 ... statement_timeout=0` ended up unbounded, and a unit-bearing value like `2min` passed the digit check on its leading digits. Every accepted directive is now stripped and exactly one normalised bound appended; a URL value is honoured only when unambiguous — a single directive, plain milliseconds, no looser than the ceiling. **4. Zero timeouts were accepted from the environment.** Zero disables the PostgreSQL limit entirely and makes PyMySQL raise at query time. Timeout config is now validated at import: non-positive or non-numeric values fail fast with a message naming the variable. `LLM_MAX_RETRIES=0` remains valid — it means "no retry", a stricter ceiling. Tests: 18 new cases across `test_config_validation.py` (new), `test_db_execution_timeouts.py` and `test_schema_load_offloading.py`, covering the five bypass shapes, cancellation cleanup, and cleanup on a failed introspection. The last has teeth: neutering the worker's `finally` fails with "connection leaked when introspection failed". 264 unit + 14 SDK tests pass; pylint 10.00/10; make lint clean. Refs: research#86 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
`tests/test_config_validation.py` matched the repo's `*_conf*` ignore rule, so `git add` skipped it and the previous commit shipped the validation without its tests. Renamed to `test_timeout_validation.py`, which the rule does not match. Covers the four review item #4 cases: zero and negative values rejected for DB_CONNECT_TIMEOUT / DB_STATEMENT_TIMEOUT / LLM_TIMEOUT, non-numeric values rejected, and a clean environment still loading with positive defaults.

@Naseem77 all four valid — fixed in 1. Off-topic orphaned speculative work. Confirmed both halves: cancelling Took your first option — relevancy now runs before either task starts, so nothing speculative is launched for a question we can't answer. The two are then gathered together so neither is left unobserved if the other fails. Cost is one relevancy round-trip on answerable questions; the original code described the overlap as a "small perf win", and executor saturation is the worse trade. Verified on the harness: an off-topic query now logs only 2. Schema cancellation. Both diagnoses were right, and they were different bugs: PostgreSQL closed from the generator's Connect, cursor, introspection and cleanup now live in a single 3. Clamp bypass. Confirmed before fixing: Now every accepted directive is stripped and one normalised bound appended. A URL value survives only when unambiguous: a single directive, plain milliseconds, no looser than the ceiling. Unrelated options like 4. Zero timeouts. Right on both counts — 0 disables the PostgreSQL limit and makes PyMySQL raise at query time. Timeout config is validated at import now; non-positive or non-numeric fails fast naming the variable:

- LLM_MAX_RETRIES is parsed with int(os.getenv(...)) without validation, so a non-integer value will crash config import with a generic ValueError that doesn’t identify the offending env var.

- EmbeddingsModel.embed logs every successful embedding call at INFO.

…new ones Proactive sweep rather than a review response: the same pattern @Naseem77 has flagged four times still existed in three more places, all reachable from a streaming response. - `api/utils.py` `create_combined_description` issues a **batch** completion over every table, and `generate_db_description` a further completion. Both are synchronous and both are called from `load_to_graph`, which backs the connect and refresh streams — so a schema load blocked the event loop for the duration of a batch LLM call over the whole schema. Offloaded at the call sites; `generate_db_description` now goes through `run_completion` for the shared timeout, retry budget and duration logging, and the batch call carries the same bounds. - `api/routes/settings.py` `validate_api_key` called `completion` inline inside an async route, so validating a key against a slow or unreachable provider blocked the loop — and every open query stream — for as long as it took. Offloaded and time-bounded. Behaviour change: that validation call now carries `timeout`, `max_retries=LLM_MAX_RETRIES` and `num_retries=0`. Two tests in `test_settings_route.py` pinned the previous unbounded kwargs and are updated to the bounded contract. The guard in `test_embeddings_offloading.py` is extended from embeddings to all bare provider entry points (`completion(`, `batch_completion(`, `embedding(`) across `api/graph.py`, `graph_loader.py`, `graphiti_tool.py` and `api/routes/settings.py`. Verified with teeth: putting the settings call back inline fails the guard. That check is the part meant to stop this class of bug recurring, rather than finding the next instance by review. Also audited and found clean: the three fire-and-forget task sites in `pipeline.py`, `analytics.py` and `usage_tracking.py` already track their tasks in a sink and attach done-callbacks, so nothing there is unobserved. 265 unit + 14 SDK tests pass; pylint 10.00/10; make lint clean.

LLM_MAX_RETRIESis documented as rejecting negatives, but the current expression silently clamps them to 0 and will also raise a genericValueError: invalid literal for int()for non-integer values. That makes misconfiguration harder to diagnose and doesn’t match the preceding comment.
Consider validating the env var explicitly (allowing 0, rejecting negatives) and raising a clear error message, consistent with _positive_env.
# Zero is valid here (it means "no retry", a strict ceiling); negative is
# not.
# pylint: disable-next=invalid-name

…t nan/inf Fifth review from @Naseem77; all three findings were valid. **1. Cancellation could not release hung schema sessions.** Introspection had only a connect timeout, on the reasoning that a large schema may legitimately outlast the user-query ceiling. That was the wrong conclusion: the answer is a larger deadline, not none. A database that accepts the connection and then stalls held both its session and a worker thread, and since cancelling the awaiting task cannot stop that thread, repeated connect/refresh attempts could exhaust the executor every other offloaded call shares. Adds `DB_SCHEMA_TIMEOUT` (300s) — a server-side `statement_timeout` for PostgreSQL, socket read/write timeouts for MySQL, network and `STATEMENT_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS` for Snowflake — and `DB_SCHEMA_CONCURRENCY` (2), a semaphore in `api/loaders/introspection.py` capping how many introspections may hold workers at once. **2. Stricter PostgreSQL timeouts were being loosened.** The clamp only recognised lowercase bare digits, so a URL asking for `5s` was silently replaced with the 60s ceiling, and an uppercase `STATEMENT_TIMEOUT=` directive was not even stripped — it survived alongside ours, and GUC names are case-insensitive, so it could win. Values are now parsed case-insensitively with units (`us`/`ms`/`s`/`min`/`h`/`d`) and optional quotes, normalised to milliseconds, and the strictest positive value wins, capped at the configured ceiling. Sub-millisecond requests round up to 1ms rather than truncating to 0 and being discarded — which would have loosened them. **3. `nan` and `inf` passed validation.** Both slip past a `<= 0` test: nan compares False against everything and inf is a deadline that never expires. `math.isfinite` is now required. Tests: 13 new cases. The unit/case matrix, the duplicate and disabled shapes, the schema deadline on PostgreSQL and MySQL, and the concurrency cap. The last has teeth — widening the semaphore fails with "6 introspections ran concurrently, cap is 2". Two earlier clamp tests asserted duplicates collapse to the ceiling; they now assert the stricter, correct contract. 277 unit + 14 SDK tests pass; pylint 10.00/10; make lint clean.

@Naseem77 all three valid — fixed in 1. Hung schema sessions. You're right and my earlier reasoning was wrong. I left introspection with only a connect timeout because a large schema can legitimately outlast the user-query ceiling — but the answer to that is a larger deadline, not none. A database that accepts the connection and then stalls held its session and a worker thread, and since cancelling the awaiting task can't stop that thread, repeated attempts could exhaust the executor everything else shares. Added 2. Stricter values loosened. Confirmed, and one case was worse than described — the uppercase form wasn't even stripped: Since GUC names are case-insensitive and libpq takes the last occurrence, that's both a loosening and a potential bypass depending on order. Values are now parsed case-insensitively with units ( Sub-millisecond rounding up matters: truncating 3. nan/inf. Correct — nan compares False against everything and inf never expires. Tests: 13 new cases, including the full unit/case matrix, the schema deadline on PostgreSQL and MySQL, and the concurrency cap. That last one has teeth — widening the semaphore fails with 277 unit + 14 SDK pass, pylint 10.00/10, Still open: the |

- These new async tests are not marked with
@pytest.mark.asyncio(or an equivalent), even though other tests in the suite use it (e.g.,tests/test_settings_route.py). If the repo isn’t configured forpytest-asyncioauto mode, these tests will fail collection/execution. Consider adding@pytest.mark.asyncio(or switching to@pytest.mark.anyioconsistently) on the async tests in this file (and the other newly added async test files) for compatibility.
api/loaders/introspection.py:23 - The module-level
_SLOTSsemaphore is created once and then reused. If this module is imported/used across different event loops (common in some test setups or multi-loop runtimes), reusing a semaphore bound to a different loop can raiseRuntimeError. Consider storing the creating loop (e.g.,asyncio.get_running_loop()) and recreating_SLOTSwhen the running loop changes, or avoid a cross-loop global by keeping the limiter on an app-scoped object.

Fixes the 29 Jul demo failure investigated in FalkorDB/research#86 — all eight action items, plus two issues found while verifying them.
What went wrong
Three consecutive demo queries failed live with
Stream error: network error. The backend never errored; the response body went silent for the entire SQL-generation phase and the connection was severed mid-flight.Step 1chunk (text2sql.py:351) nothing was written until thesql_querychunk (:415). Everything expensive happens in that gap — schema lookup, relevancy, table finding, memory search, and the whole analysis call. There was no heartbeat.get_analysiswas a synchronous LLM call invoked withoutawaitinside an async generator, so it parked uvicorn's event loop for its full duration — no bytes could flush to any open stream. This is why three attempts failed together rather than one request getting unlucky.application/json, which proxies buffer and idle-timeout, unliketext/event-stream.The
Query Analysiscard in the incident screenshot was a UI artifact, not evidence that anything succeeded.Still unknown: why the LLM was slow in that window.
analysis_agent.pyhad no timing, no logging and no timeout, so the slowness left no trace. Item 2 below is what makes it diagnosable next time.Changes
Streaming (the incident)
api/routes/streaming.pywithwith_keepalive, wrapping the serialized stream so one call covers a whole endpoint including silent gaps added later. It emits a bare delimiter every 10s while the pipeline produces nothing. A bare delimiter splits into an empty part, which every existing client parser already skips (chat.ts:120,Index.tsx:290,DatabaseModal.tsx:199— all verified), so this needs no protocol change and no client change. Applied to all four streaming endpoints: query, confirm, refresh, connect-database.Cache-Control: no-cache, no-transformandX-Accel-Buffering: noto discourage intermediaries from buffering.asyncio.to_thread:get_analysis,heal_and_execute, the follow-up agent, and bothformat_ai_responsecalls.Instrumentation
run_completionnow appliesConfig.LLM_TIMEOUT(default 90s) per attempt, passed to litellm so it aborts the HTTP request rather than hanging, and logs every call's duration with a caller label. Calls overLLM_SLOW_CALL_THRESHOLD(default 20s) log at WARNING.HealerAgentrouted throughrun_completionso it inherits both — it calledlitellm.completiondirectly with no timeout.UI
sqlQuery !== undefinedwas always true, sincesqlQueryis initialized to"". Failed runs painted an empty "Query Analysis" card. Guard on truthiness instead.Memory (present in the same logs, unrelated to the failure)
AZURE_API_VERSION→2025-03-01-preview. Graphiti's client uses the Azure Responses API, which rejects older versions with HTTP 400, so every episode write was failing.len(history[1])threw on the first message of a session, where the client sends no result array.exceptinupdate_user_informationnow logs.Two things found while verifying
RelevancyAgent.get_answerwas a fourth instance of the blocking-call bug. It isasync def, so thecreate_taskattext2sql.py:379looks concurrent with table-finding — but it calledrun_completionsynchronously, so it blocked the loop and the concurrency was illusory. That call sits exactly where the failed queries stalled (Calling LLM to find relevant tables/columns).The timeout was not a real ceiling. Against a hung provider, a 3s
LLM_TIMEOUTtook 10.81s to fail:timeoutis per attempt and the provider SDK and litellm each retry on top, so the effective bound was a multiple of the configured one — ~270s at the 90s default. Pinned viaLLM_MAX_RETRIES(default 1) with litellm's outer loop disabled; the same hung provider now fails in 3.19s.Verification
Reproduced the incident and the fix against the real pipeline, with only
litellm.completionand the graph/DB seams stubbed, behind a TCP proxy enforcing an idle timeout.Legacy code — 12s stall, 5s proxy idle timeout:
Fixed code — identical conditions:
Event-loop starvation — probing
/healthduring a 10s query:Instrumentation output — the line that was missing during the incident:
Also verified at the wire level against uvicorn: keepalive frames arrive every ~0.4s through a 2s silent gap.
Tests: 6 new unit tests for the wrapper (pass-through, silent-gap emission, client-parser compatibility, exception propagation, teardown on client disconnect). One caught a real bug in the first implementation —
aclose()raced the cancelled pull and raisedasynchronous generator is already running.221 unit + 14 SDK tests pass; pylint 10.00/10;
tsc --noEmitclean.Reviewer notes
One deviation from the original plan:
media_typestaysapplication/jsonrather than becomingtext/event-stream. The wire format is delimiter-separated JSON, not SSE framing, so that header would misdescribe the body — it works today only because the client uses a rawfetchreader instead ofEventSource. With keepalives flowing, the media type is no longer load-bearing. A real SSE migration is worth doing separately.One behavior change beyond the eight items: the off-topic E2E assertion was inverted. It asserted the SQL card is visible with no SQL behind it, which encoded the phantom card rather than guarding against it. An off-topic query emits only
reasoning_step+followup_questions(verified against the real pipeline), andanalysisInfois populated solely in thesql_querybranch, so the card rendered a bare header with nothing under it. The off-topic explanation still reaches the user as a normal AI message, which the test continues to assert. Playwright could not be run locally (needs the CRM demo Postgres, a loaded graph and auth setup), so CI is the first browser run of this.Deployment:
AZURE_API_VERSIONis supplied to Playwright from a repo secret and set on Railway. This PR only changes the default — if either has an old value pinned, memory writes keep failing and need updating separately. The three newLLM_*vars all have working defaults, so no env change is required to deploy.Refs: FalkorDB/research#86 · incident 2026-07-29
