dbt adapters maintain an internal state that holds onto semaphores.
When running with Airflow 3, this causes "leaked semaphore objects"
warnings from Python's resource tracker at task shutdown.

This fix resets dbt adapters and triggers garbage collection after
each dbt command execution to properly release these resources.

Closes: #2334

Pull request overview

Adds a post-dbt-run cleanup to prevent Airflow 3 “leaked semaphore objects” warnings by resetting dbt adapters and forcing garbage collection.

Changes:

  • Introduces _cleanup_dbt_adapters() to reset dbt adapters and run gc.collect().
  • Calls _cleanup_dbt_adapters() after each dbtRunner.invoke(...).
  • Adds unit tests covering adapter cleanup behavior and ensuring cleanup is triggered after run_command.

Reviewed changes

File Description
cosmos/dbt/runner.py Adds adapter reset + GC cleanup and wires it into run_command.

Looks good, @pankajkoti , thanks for working on this!
I gave some minor feedback inline. My main concern is the usage of Exception.
