Tags were mutable aliases that caused confusion alongside the immutable
version system. This removes tags entirely, keeping only PackageVersion
for artifact references.
Changes:
- Remove tags and tag_history tables (migration 012)
- Remove Tag model, TagRepository, and 6 tag API endpoints
- Update cache system to create versions instead of tags
- Update frontend to display versions instead of tags
- Remove tag-related schemas and types
- Update artifact cleanup service for version-based ref_count
The background task queue for proactively caching package dependencies was
causing server instability and unnecessary growth. The PyPI proxy now only
caches packages on-demand when users request them.
Removed:
- PyPI cache worker (background task queue and worker pool)
- PyPICacheTask model and related database schema
- Cache management API endpoints (/pypi/cache/*)
- Background Jobs admin dashboard
- Dependency extraction and queueing logic
Kept:
- On-demand package caching (still works when users request packages)
- Async httpx for non-blocking downloads (prevents health check failures)
- URL-based cache lookups for deduplication
Replace unbounded thread spawning with managed worker pool:
- New pypi_cache_tasks table tracks caching jobs
- Thread pool with 5 workers (configurable via ORCHARD_PYPI_CACHE_WORKERS)
- Automatic retries with exponential backoff (30s, 60s, then fail)
- Deduplication to prevent duplicate caching attempts
New API endpoints for visibility and control:
- GET /pypi/cache/status - queue health summary
- GET /pypi/cache/failed - list failed tasks with errors
- POST /pypi/cache/retry/{package} - retry single package
- POST /pypi/cache/retry-all - retry all failed packages
This fixes silent failures in background dependency caching where
packages would fail to cache without any tracking or retry mechanism.
