feat: track model execution status with failure icon in explorer

[abhizipstack]

What

• Add RunStatus enum and 4 new fields to ConfigModels: run_status, failure_reason, last_run_at, run_duration
• New migration 0003_add_model_run_status.py
• Update file_explorer.load_models() to return status fields for each model
• Add _update_model_status() to DAG executor in visitran.py — called before execution (RUNNING), after success (SUCCESS), and on exception (FAILED)
• Update execute/views.py to return 400 on DAG execution failures
• Fix clear_cache decorator to re-raise exceptions instead of silently swallowing them
• Frontend: add colored status dot badges next to model names in the explorer tree (blue=running, green=success, red=failed)
• Frontend: Popover on hover over failed status shows full error message (scrollable) and last run timestamp
• Frontend: trigger explorer refresh via setRefreshModels after runTransformation succeeds or fails

Why

After a model build/run, users had no visual indication of which models succeeded or failed. They had to manually open each model to check. This change shows failure icons directly in the explorer so users can quickly identify broken models and fix them via prompts or manual edits.

How

Status is tracked at the DAG node level (not API level). When the DAG executor processes each node, it updates the corresponding ConfigModels row in the database with the current status. This ensures accurate per-model status even when Model A succeeds but downstream Model B fails — Model A is marked SUCCESS while Model B is marked FAILED.

The frontend file_explorer API already returns the full model tree — we just add the new status fields to each model entry. The explorer renders a small colored dot inline before the model name based on run_status. Failed models show a Popover on hover with the full failure_reason and last_run_at.

Can this PR break any existing features. If yes, please list possible items. If no, please explain why. (PS: Admins do not merge the PR without this section filled)

Low risk:

• The 4 new DB fields are nullable with sensible defaults (NOT_STARTED), so existing models continue to work
• Status tracking wraps the existing execution logic with try/except — if status update fails, the error is logged but does not interrupt execution
• The clear_cache decorator fix actually addresses a pre-existing silent bug where execution errors were being swallowed and returning NoneType to DRF (causing 500 errors instead of proper error responses)
• CLI mode (no Django) is handled — ConfigModels import is wrapped in try/except so visitran CLI still works without Django
• Frontend badge rendering is additive — models without status fields render unchanged

Database Migrations

• backend/backend/core/migrations/0003_add_model_run_status.py — adds 4 nullable fields to configmodels table (run_status, failure_reason, last_run_at, run_duration)

Notes on Testing

Tested locally with Python 3.11:

• Migration applied cleanly
• Model RunStatus choices verified via Django shell
• DAG execution correctly updates status per-node (RUNNING → SUCCESS/FAILED)
• Explorer renders status dots correctly with inline vertical-align
• Popover on failed models shows full error message with scroll
• clear_cache fix verified — MultipleColumnDependency exception now returns proper 400 error response instead of 500 NoneType

Screenshots

TBD — will add after testing locally

Greptile Summary

This PR adds per-model execution status tracking — a RunStatus enum, four new DB fields, a migration, DAG-level status updates in the executor, and frontend status dot badges with hover popovers in the explorer tree.

• P1 — connection leak in failure path: close_db_connection() is only called in the success branch of execute_run_command; every failed DAG run leaves the connection open. Should move to a finally block.

Confidence Score: 4/5

Safe to merge after fixing the DB connection leak in the execute_run_command failure path.

One P1 defect: close_db_connection() is never called when execute_visitran_run_command raises, leaking a connection on every run failure. All other changes (migration, model, status tracking, frontend badges, cache decorator fix) are well-structured and low risk.

backend/backend/core/routers/execute/views.py — missing close_db_connection() in the exception path.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
backend/backend/core/routers/execute/views.py	Adds try/except around DAG execution to return 400 on failure, but omits close_db_connection() in the failure path — leaks the DB connection on every run error.
backend/visitran/visitran.py	Adds _update_model_status() with RUNNING/SUCCESS/FAILED transitions and run_duration tracking; logic is sound.
backend/backend/utils/cache_service/decorators/cache_decorator.py	Adds raise to re-propagate exceptions from the view function instead of silently swallowing them and returning None — correct fix.
backend/backend/application/file_explorer/file_explorer.py	Extends the model tree payload with run_status, failure_reason, last_run_at, and run_duration; handles missing model lookup gracefully with getattr defaults.
backend/backend/core/migrations/0003_add_model_run_status.py	New migration adds 4 nullable fields (run_status with default, failure_reason, last_run_at, run_duration) — non-breaking, backward-compatible.
backend/backend/core/models/config_models.py	Adds RunStatus TextChoices enum and 4 new nullable DB fields consistent with the migration.
frontend/src/ide/explorer/explorer-component.jsx	Adds getModelRunStatus helper rendering colored dot badges (RUNNING/SUCCESS/FAILED) with Tooltip/Popover; triggers explorer refresh on both success and error paths.
frontend/src/ide/editor/no-code-model/no-code-model.jsx	Calls setRefreshModels(true) in both then/catch of runTransformation so the explorer badge updates after each run attempt.

**DB connection leaked on execution failure**

`close_db_connection()` is only called in the happy path. When `execute_visitran_run_command` raises, the `except` branch returns immediately without ever closing the connection, leaking it every time a DAG run fails. This should use a `finally` block:

```suggestion
    try:
        app.execute_visitran_run_command(current_model=file_name, environment_id=environment_id)
        app.backup_current_no_code_model()
        logger.info(f"[execute_run_command] Completed successfully for file_name={file_name}")
        _data = {"status": "success"}
        return Response(data=_data)
    except Exception:
        logger.exception(f"[execute_run_command] DAG execution failed for file_name={file_name}")
        _data = {"status": "failed", "error_message": "Model execution failed. Check server logs for details."}
        return Response(data=_data, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)
    finally:
        app.visitran_context.close_db_connection()
```

How can I resolve this? If you propose a fix, please make it concise.

Addressed all review feedback in 55332f7:

Greptile P1s

• Non-executable parent nodes stuck in RUNNING → wrapped the RUNNING status update with if is_executable so parents imported only for DAG resolution no longer get a permanent blue badge.
• Context-menu run failures not refreshing the explorer → handleModelRun's .catch() now calls getExplorer(projectId) and setRefreshModels(true), so the red FAILED badge appears immediately.

Greptile P2

• run_duration now populated via time.monotonic() around each node; persisted on SUCCESS and both FAILED branches.

@tahierhussain

• Dropped the conditional ConfigModels import and the if ConfigModels else "FAILED" fallbacks.
• Missing session/project_id now raise ValueError (still caught + logged via logging.exception).
• getModelRunStatus hoisted to module scope; uses antd theme tokens (colorInfo / colorError / colorSuccess / colorTextSecondary) instead of hardcoded hex.

CodeQL

• Response no longer includes the raw exception string; full traceback is logged server-side and a generic error message is returned to the client.

Unconditional Django imports break CLI mode

from django.utils import timezone (and from backend.core.models.config_models import ConfigModels at line 76) are top-level, unconditional imports. Before this PR, visitran.py had no Django imports. Any caller that uses visitran in CLI mode without Django configured will now get a ModuleNotFoundError or django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured at module load time — before any try/except can help.

The PR description explicitly states "CLI mode (no Django) is handled — ConfigModels import is wrapped in try/except", but neither import has a guard in the code. The try/except inside _update_model_status only catches runtime failures, not import-time failures.

To protect CLI mode as stated, wrap both imports:

try:
    from django.utils import timezone
    from backend.core.models.config_models import ConfigModels
    _DJANGO_AVAILABLE = True
except ImportError:
    _DJANGO_AVAILABLE = False
    timezone = None
    ConfigModels = None

Then gate _update_model_status on _DJANGO_AVAILABLE.
