Summary

First sub-task of Phase 6 (UN-3504 — Distributed Barrier). Ships the abstraction layer + chord-call-site lift + fairness plumbing with zero runtime behaviour change — every operation still routes through celery.chord(...) under the hood. The risky behaviour-change PR (RedisDecrBarrier replacing chord_unlock polling) is deliberately deferred to Phase 6b (UN-3523) behind a feature flag.

What this adds

  • workers/queue_backend/barrier.py

    • Barrier Protocol — minimum contract every barrier substrate satisfies.
    • BarrierHandle Protocol — minimum return-value contract (id: str); celery's AsyncResult satisfies this.
    • CeleryChordBarrier impl — wraps chord(header)(body) 1:1. Optional FairnessKey stamped as a message header on every enqueued task AND the callback.
  • Both production chord call sites lifted behind the barrier:

    • shared/workflow/execution/orchestration_utils.py:67WorkflowOrchestrationUtils.create_chord_execution now delegates to CeleryChordBarrier. Adds optional fairness= kwarg.
    • api-deployment/tasks.py:674 — inline chord(...) replaced with the helper call, passing fairness=FairnessKey(workload_type=API).
    • general/tasks.py:941 — existing call site now passes fairness=FairnessKey(workload_type=NON_API).
  • Inventory canary tightened in tests/test_chord_sites_characterisation.py: was "exactly 2 chord call sites in workers/", now "exactly 1 chord call site, inside queue_backend/barrier.py". A future PR that adds a direct chord(...) call outside the abstraction fails this test loudly.

Why plumb fairness here

Phase 5.1 added fairness to bare dispatch() call sites only (2 of them today). The two chord(...) call sites bypass dispatch() entirely — at runtime, MOST workflow-execution tasks fan out through chord (process_file_batch × N), so Phase 5.1 only covered ~5% of the workflow-execution wire traffic. This PR closes the remaining ~95%.

Doing it at the barrier lift point (rather than retroinstrumenting the raw chord call) means a future Phase 6b can swap in a RedisDecrBarrier or PgBarrier without touching call sites a second time.

What this does NOT change (zero-behaviour-change posture)

  • The chord(header)(body) Celery primitive itself — same two-step call, same chord_unlock polling, same result backend interaction, same retry semantics, same callback firing.
  • Task execution — same workers consume the same queues.
  • Result aggregation — chord still collects all header return values into a list and passes them to the body.
  • Failure handling — same chord error semantics, same link_error path.

Mixed-version rolling deploys

Safe in both directions:

  • Old worker enqueues chord (no fairness header) → new callback receives → callback doesn't read fairness header → works.
  • New worker enqueues chord (with fairness header) → old callback receives → celery passes unknown headers through → works.

Tests

New tests/test_barrier.py (12 tests):

  • Barrier Protocol shapeCeleryChordBarrier satisfies the Barrier Protocol; AsyncResult-shaped handles satisfy BarrierHandle.
  • Wire equivalence with the pre-uplift chord call — given the same args, CeleryChordBarrier.enqueue(...) produces the same chord(header)(body) invocation, same app.signature(...) args, same return value. Locks the byte-for-byte equivalence claim.
  • Fairness header plumbing — when fairness= is passed, the fairness slot is attached to every enqueued task and the callback. When fairness=None, no headers= kwarg is added (preserves byte-for-byte pre-uplift wire).
  • Mixin wrapper invariants preservedWorkflowOrchestrationMixin.create_chord still extracts self.app and raises on missing app context.

Updated tests/test_chord_sites_characterisation.py:

  • Existing 6 characterisation tests still pass — patch targets updated to queue_backend.barrier.chord.
  • Inventory canary tightened: 2 sites → 1 site (inside barrier.py).
  • from celery import chord canary: 2 files → 1 file.

Updated tests/test_queue_backend_seam.py::test_all_exports for the new public surface (Barrier, BarrierHandle, CeleryChordBarrier).

Validation

  • Touched test files: 21 / 21 passing
  • Full workers suite: 6 failed (pre-existing baseline, unchanged) / 659 passed (was 627 → +32 new tests)
  • Five deterministic-order full-suite runs: exactly 6/659 each time — zero flakiness from this change

What's deferred

  • Phase 6b (UN-3523): RedisDecrBarrier impl + WORKER_BARRIER_BACKEND env flag (default chord — opt-in). New code path gated.
  • Phase 6c (UN-3524): production rollout / verification (config-only, no code changes).

Risk

  • Wire shape change: each chord member signature + callback signature now carries a fairness header (~80 bytes / task). Additive — celery passes unknown headers through; no consumer reads the slot yet.
  • All other behaviour identical to direct chord(...) calls.
  • Mixed-version rolling deploy safe (verified above).
  • Rollback: a single revert commit removes the abstraction; both call sites are one-line delegations.

Test plan

  • CI green (unit + integration + SonarCloud + CodeRabbit + Greptile)
  • Local: cd workers && uv run pytest tests/test_barrier.py tests/test_chord_sites_characterisation.py → 21 passed
  • Local: cd workers && uv run pytest --no-cov -p no:randomly → 6 pre-existing failures, 659 passed
  • Dev stack smoke test: trigger one ETL and one API deployment, verify completion times match pre-uplift baseline (no regression in chord_unlock retry pattern)
  • Inspect a chord member message in production: confirm x-fairness-key header is present and well-formed

…rier wrapper + lift chord call sites + plumb fairness

First sub-task of Phase 6 (UN-3504 — Distributed Barrier). Ships the
abstraction layer + chord-call-site lift + fairness plumbing with
**zero runtime behaviour change** — every operation still routes through
``celery.chord(...)`` under the hood. The risky behaviour-change PR
(``RedisDecrBarrier`` replacing chord_unlock polling) is deliberately
deferred to Phase 6b behind a feature flag.

## What this adds

* ``workers/queue_backend/barrier.py``
  * ``Barrier`` Protocol — minimum contract every barrier substrate
    satisfies (``enqueue(header, callback, fairness=None)`` shape).
  * ``BarrierHandle`` Protocol — minimum return-value contract
    (``id: str``); celery's ``AsyncResult`` satisfies this; future
    substrate handles must too so chord-id logging stays working.
  * ``CeleryChordBarrier`` impl — wraps ``chord(header)(body)`` 1:1.
    Optional ``FairnessKey`` is stamped as a message header on every
    enqueued task AND the callback signature.

* Both production chord call sites lifted behind the barrier:
  * ``shared/workflow/execution/orchestration_utils.py:67`` —
    ``WorkflowOrchestrationUtils.create_chord_execution`` now
    delegates to ``CeleryChordBarrier``. Method signature unchanged
    for callers; adds optional ``fairness=`` kwarg.
  * ``api-deployment/tasks.py:674`` — inline ``chord(...)`` replaced
    with a call to ``WorkflowOrchestrationUtils.create_chord_execution``
    with ``fairness=FairnessKey(workload_type=WorkloadType.API)``.
  * ``general/tasks.py:941`` — existing chord call site passes
    ``fairness=FairnessKey(workload_type=WorkloadType.NON_API)``.

* Inventory canary in ``tests/test_chord_sites_characterisation.py``
  tightened: was "exactly 2 chord call sites in workers/", now
  "exactly 1 chord call site, inside ``queue_backend/barrier.py``".
  A future PR that adds a direct ``chord(...)`` call outside the
  barrier abstraction fails this test loudly.

## What this does NOT change (zero-behaviour-change posture)

* The ``chord(header)(body)`` Celery primitive itself — same two-step
  call, same chord_unlock polling, same result backend interaction,
  same retry semantics, same callback firing.
* Task execution — same workers consume the same queues.
* Result aggregation — chord still collects all header return values
  into a list and passes them to the body.
* Failure handling — same chord error semantics, same link_error path.
* Mixed-version rolling deploys — both directions safe:
  * old worker enqueues chord (no fairness header) → new callback
    receives → callback doesn't read fairness header → works
  * new worker enqueues chord (with fairness header) → old callback
    receives → celery passes unknown headers through → works

## Why plumb fairness here

Phase 5.1 added fairness to bare ``dispatch()`` call sites only (2 of
them today). The two ``chord(...)`` call sites bypass ``dispatch()``
entirely — at runtime, MOST workflow-execution tasks fan out through
chord (process_file_batch × N as header tasks), so Phase 5.1 only
covered ~5% of the workflow-execution wire traffic. This PR closes
the remaining ~95%.

Doing it at the barrier lift point (rather than retroinstrumenting the
raw chord call) means future Phase 6b can swap in a ``RedisDecrBarrier``
or ``PgBarrier`` without touching call sites a second time.

## Tests

New ``tests/test_barrier.py`` (12 tests):
* Barrier Protocol shape — ``CeleryChordBarrier`` satisfies the
  ``Barrier`` Protocol; AsyncResult-shaped handles satisfy
  ``BarrierHandle``.
* Wire equivalence with the pre-uplift chord call — given the same
  args, ``CeleryChordBarrier.enqueue(...)`` produces the same
  ``chord(header)(body)`` invocation, same ``app.signature(...)``
  args, same return value. Locks the byte-for-byte equivalence claim.
* Fairness header plumbing — when ``fairness=`` is passed, the
  fairness slot is attached to every enqueued task and the callback.
  When ``fairness=None``, no ``headers=`` kwarg is added (preserves
  byte-for-byte pre-uplift wire).
* Mixin wrapper invariants preserved — ``WorkflowOrchestrationMixin
  .create_chord`` still extracts ``self.app`` and raises on missing
  app context.

Updated ``tests/test_chord_sites_characterisation.py``:
* Existing 6 characterisation tests still pass — patch targets
  updated to ``queue_backend.barrier.chord``.
* Inventory canary tightened: 2 sites → 1 site (inside barrier.py).
* ``from celery import chord`` canary: 2 files → 1 file.

Updated ``tests/test_queue_backend_seam.py::test_all_exports`` for the
new public surface (``Barrier``, ``BarrierHandle``,
``CeleryChordBarrier``).

## Validation

* Touched test files: 21 / 21 passing
* Full workers suite: 6 failed (pre-existing baseline, unchanged) /
  659 passed (was 627 → +32 new tests)
* Five deterministic-order full-suite runs: exactly 6/659 each time

## What's deferred

  env flag (default ``chord`` — opt-in). New code path gated.

Walkthrough

This pull request introduces a CeleryChordBarrier that centralizes chord fan-out + callback execution, propagates optional FairnessKey routing, refactors orchestration utilities to delegate chord creation to the barrier, updates API and general call sites to pass FairnessKey, and extends tests and exports to validate the change.

Changes

Barrier abstraction and fairness-aware orchestration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Barrier abstraction contract and CeleryChordBarrier implementation
workers/queue_backend/barrier.py, workers/queue_backend/__init__.py, workers/tests/test_queue_backend_seam.py
Defines Barrier and BarrierHandle protocols; implements CeleryChordBarrier.enqueue(...) wrapping chord(header_tasks)(callback_signature) with optional x-fairness-key headers attached to callback and cloned header tasks. Returns None for empty headers and re-raises chord errors. Exports barrier symbols via queue_backend.__all__.
Orchestration refactor to delegate chord creation to barrier
workers/shared/workflow/execution/orchestration_utils.py
WorkflowOrchestrationUtils.create_chord_execution gains a kw-only fairness parameter and delegates enqueueing to a module-level _BARRIER.enqueue(...). WorkflowOrchestrationMixin.create_chord forwards the fairness argument.
Fairness-aware task orchestration in API and general workflows
workers/api-deployment/tasks.py, workers/general/tasks.py
Call sites updated to pass FairnessKey(org_id=..., workload_type=WorkloadType.API) for API workflows and FairnessKey(..., workload_type=WorkloadType.NON_API) for general workflows; API path also dispatches callback via dispatch(...) with args=[[]] when batch header list is empty.
Barrier abstraction test coverage
workers/tests/test_barrier.py
Adds protocol-shape, wire-equivalence, fairness header stamping, orchestration singleton routing, call-site fairness contract checks, and zero-files dispatch regression tests.
Integration and characterization tests
workers/tests/test_chord_sites_characterisation.py
Retargets chord patching to queue_backend.barrier.chord, asserts mixin forwards fairness=None, and tightens inventory tests to ensure a single chord(...) invocation and import live in queue_backend/barrier.py.

Greptile Summary

This PR introduces the Barrier Protocol and CeleryChordBarrier wrapper, lifting both production chord(...) call sites behind the abstraction and plumbing FairnessKey onto chord header tasks and callbacks. The change is behaviour-preserving: the underlying chord(header)(body) call is identical, with only an additive x-fairness-key AMQP header added when fairness is passed.

  • workers/queue_backend/barrier.py — new file defining Barrier/BarrierHandle Protocols and CeleryChordBarrier. Empty-header guard runs first; fairness stamping uses clone().set() to avoid cross-tenant header mutation.
  • Call site liftapi-deployment/tasks.py replaces an inline chord(...) with create_chord_execution(..., fairness=WorkloadType.API); general/tasks.py adds fairness=WorkloadType.NON_API to its existing helper call. Both sites now carry the fairness slot on every fan-out task and callback.
  • Test hardening — 12 new tests in test_barrier.py cover protocol shape, wire equivalence, fairness plumbing, and the zero-files dispatch path; the inventory canary in test_chord_sites_characterisation.py is tightened from 2 chord sites to 1.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge — the chord primitive is unchanged and every wire-level addition is additive (unknown AMQP headers are ignored by old consumers), making rolling deploys safe in both directions.

All production behaviour routes through the same chord(header)(body) call. The fairness header is additive and consumers that don't read it are unaffected. The zero-files path in api-deployment is documented as unreachable in practice, and the defensive dispatch mirrors the pre-Barrier chord-empty semantic correctly. Test coverage is thorough and the 32 new passing tests lock down wire equivalence, fairness plumbing, and the singleton routing point.

The inventory canary in test_chord_sites_characterisation.py uses a regex that only matches assignment-form chord(...) calls — a return chord(...) bypass would escape detection.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
workers/queue_backend/barrier.py New file: Barrier Protocol, BarrierHandle Protocol, and CeleryChordBarrier implementation. Empty-header guard is correctly placed first; clone-and-set fairness stamping avoids cross-tenant mutation; exception surface constrained to non-empty path.
workers/shared/workflow/execution/orchestration_utils.py Module-level _BARRIER singleton added; create_chord_execution now delegates to _BARRIER.enqueue(); WorkflowOrchestrationMixin.create_chord gains fairness= kwarg forwarding. Clean refactor with no logic change.
workers/api-deployment/tasks.py Inline chord(...) replaced with WorkflowOrchestrationUtils.create_chord_execution with WorkloadType.API fairness key; adds explicit zero-files dispatch path (unreachable in practice) to preserve pre-Barrier empty-chord contract.
workers/general/tasks.py Adds WorkloadType.NON_API fairness key to the existing create_chord_execution call. Minimal and correct.
workers/tests/test_barrier.py New 12-test file covering protocol shape, wire equivalence, fairness header plumbing, singleton routing, call-site contracts, and the zero-files dispatch path. Good fixture decomposition.
workers/tests/test_chord_sites_characterisation.py Patch targets updated to queue_backend.barrier.chord; inventory canary tightened to 1 site. Tightened regex =\s*chord( misses return chord(...) form — a minor gap in bypass detection.
workers/queue_backend/init.py Adds Barrier, BarrierHandle, CeleryChordBarrier to all and the module imports. Straightforward.
workers/tests/test_queue_backend_seam.py Updates the all surface assertion to include the three new barrier exports.

### Issue 1 of 1
workers/tests/test_chord_sites_characterisation.py:287-300
**Canary regex misses `return chord(...)` form**

The tightened regex `=\s*chord\(` only matches assignment form `result = chord(...)`. A future developer who writes `return chord(tasks)(callback)` or a bare `chord(tasks)(callback)` (no assignment) outside `barrier.py` would silently bypass the enforcement. The comment correctly notes this for comment-line false-positives, but `return chord(...)` is real production code, not prose — it would never start with `#` and would escape both the comment-skip guard and the regex. Adding `|\breturn\s+chord\(` to the pattern closes this gap without reintroducing docstring false-positives.

SonarCloud flagged 7.9% duplicated lines on workers/tests/test_barrier.py
(Phase 6a barrier characterisation suite). Three sources:

1. ``TestWorkflowOrchestrationMixinCreateChord`` class was defined in
   both ``test_barrier.py`` AND ``test_chord_sites_characterisation.py``
   (same 2 tests, byte-for-byte). The mixin lives on the chord-call-site
   characterisation surface, so removed the dup from ``test_barrier.py``
   — coverage is preserved by the copy in
   ``test_chord_sites_characterisation.py``.

2. ``_make_app`` helper was defined twice (one per test class) with the
   same body. Extracted to a module-level ``app`` pytest fixture used
   by every test that drives ``CeleryChordBarrier.enqueue(...)``.

3. ``with patch("queue_backend.barrier.chord") as mock_chord:`` appeared
   in 8 separate tests with identical patch target. Extracted to a
   ``mock_chord`` pytest fixture that patches once and yields the mock;
   each test configures behaviour as needed (``return_value`` /
   ``side_effect``).

LOC delta: -194 / +103 = 91 LOC net removed.

Validation:
* ``tests/test_barrier.py``: 10/10 passing
* ``tests/test_chord_sites_characterisation.py``: 9/9 passing
* Full workers suite: 6 pre-existing failures / 657 passed (was 659 →
  -2 from removing the duplicate ``TestWorkflowOrchestrationMixinCreateChord``
  methods; identical coverage retained in the characterisation suite)
* Five deterministic-order full-suite runs: exactly 6/657 each time —
  zero flakiness from this refactor

No production code changed; this is test-file dedup only.

…rCloud python:S8572)

SonarCloud flagged the ``except Exception`` block at
``workers/queue_backend/barrier.py:158`` for using ``logger.error(...)``
instead of ``logger.exception(...)``.

``logger.exception()`` automatically attaches the traceback to the log
record — needed for debugging broker outages or serialisation failures
at the chord entry point. The previous ``logger.error(f"...: {e}")``
only logged the exception's ``str()`` repr, losing the stack.

The exception is still re-raised so callers see the original traceback,
but the log emitted on the way out now carries the full context.

No behaviour change — same exception path, same re-raise. Tests still
pass (19/19 barrier + chord-sites tests; full workers suite 6 failed /
657 passed — baseline unchanged).

PR Review Toolkit — synthesised findings (Phase 6a Barrier uplift)

6 agents reviewed the 8 changed files (Code Reviewer, Silent Failure Hunter, Type Design Analyzer, PR Test Analyzer, Comment Analyzer, Code Simplifier). Regression risk was the headline ask; I focused there first.

No P0 blockers. Two P1 items below have real regression potential — the zero-files divergence in the API-deployment caller and the in-place mutation of caller-owned batch_tasks. Everything else is P2 hygiene (claim accuracy, missing pin-tests, stale references).

Findings posted as inline comments. Duplicates of the existing CodeRabbit / Greptile comments on barrier.py:160, barrier.py:135, api-deployment/tasks.py:682 were intentionally dropped.

Prioritised summary

P1 — regression risk

  1. api-deployment/tasks.py:700 — Zero batch_tasks now raises and flips execution to ERROR. The general/tasks.py caller has an explicit zero-files SUCCESS branch (line 957-1013); api-deployment doesn't. Divergent behaviour for an edge case that didn't exist pre-uplift (old chord([])(...) returned a truthy AsyncResult — callback fired with []).
  2. barrier.py:144task.set(headers=fairness_headers) mutates the caller-provided batch_tasks list in place. No caller reuses the list today, but the helper's docstring doesn't warn — a future retry path that re-uses the list could cross-pollinate fairness headers across tenants.

P2 — claim accuracy / test gaps / hygiene
3. barrier.py:18 — "byte-identical wire output" claim holds only for fairness=None; both production call sites pass fairness, so the wire is additive (acceptable, but the docstring overstates).
4. orchestration_utils.py:22_BARRIER singleton not asserted by any test; refactor that bypasses it stays green.
5. test_chord_sites_characterisation.py:295 — Inventory regex (?:^|[\s=(])chord\( will flag a docstring mention of chord(...) in barrier.py and break CI on documentation edits.
6. test_barrier.py:299 — No test pins WorkloadType.API at api-deployment call site or NON_API at general call site; an API↔NON_API swap goes undetected.
7. orchestration_utils.py:330WorkflowOrchestrationMixin.create_chord does not forward fairness=. Unused in production today, but kept around — either extend its signature or delete the mixin.

Notes (not posted as inline)

  • _BARRIER singleton is safe under Celery prefork; class is stateless. ✓
  • Lazy import of WorkflowOrchestrationUtils in _run_workflow_api is intentional (likely circular-import dodge); Greptile already flagged it. ✓
  • BarrierHandle | None return type collapses with caller if not result: pattern — fine for AsyncResult (truthy) but a future substrate returning a falsy handle would silently regress. A sentinel/Result type would be sturdier (Type Design Analyzer's recommendation).
  • Stale PR #13 references at test_chord_sites_characterisation.py:38, 101, 186 — not inline-commentable (lines outside the diff hunks) — please sweep when convenient; the uplift is done, no need to forward-reference it.
  • Several comments duplicate code intent (tasks.py:672-679, barrier.py:18-26 phase choreography). Comment Analyzer recommended trimming; deferring as taste call.

* **G1 — Empty-header guard moved before signature construction**
  (`barrier.py`). Zero-task runs now skip callback signature build
  + fairness serialisation entirely; non-empty path unchanged.
  Constrains the ``try`` block's exception surface to the
  branch where work actually happens.

* **G2 — Removed redundant inline import of
  ``WorkflowOrchestrationUtils``** in ``api-deployment/tasks.py``.
  Already imported at module level (line 25); the deferred import
  inside the ``try`` block was a vestige of the pre-Barrier
  ``from celery import chord`` pattern.

* **T1 — Zero-files API path now matches pre-Barrier behaviour
  byte-for-byte**. Before the Barrier uplift, the inline
  ``chord(empty)(callback)`` call returned a truthy ``AsyncResult``
  and Celery fired the callback immediately with ``[]``. Post-uplift
  the Barrier returns ``None`` for empty headers, and the existing
  ``if not result: raise`` mapped zero-files runs to
  ``ExecutionStatus.ERROR``.

  New defensive branch in ``api-deployment/tasks.py`` explicitly
  dispatches ``process_batch_callback_api`` with ``args=[[]]``
  (body=[] matches Celery's chord-empty semantic) via
  ``queue_backend.dispatch`` — same seam every other dispatch uses,
  picks up fairness routing the same way. Unreachable in practice
  (upstream requires non-empty ``created_files``) but closes the
  theoretical regression entirely.

* **T3 — Header signatures stamped via
  ``Signature.clone().set(headers=...)`` instead of in-place
  ``.set(...)``**. Removes cross-tenant header-leakage foot-gun
  where a future retry path / signature cache could re-use a
  header_tasks list with a different ``FairnessKey``. When
  ``fairness=None`` the clone is skipped — the ``chord(...)`` call
  receives the caller's signatures unchanged, preserving byte-for-
  byte pre-Barrier wire.

* **T7 — ``WorkflowOrchestrationMixin.create_chord`` forwards
  ``fairness=`` kwarg** to ``create_chord_execution``. Backward-
  compat: default is ``None`` so existing callers don't break.

## Docstring + comment fixes

* **T2 — Docstring qualified.** "Byte-identical wire output" is
  true only when ``fairness=None``. Both production call sites
  pass a ``FairnessKey`` so post-uplift wire has the additive
  ``x-fairness-key`` AMQP header; qualified the claim and the
  "Mixed-version rolling deploys" claim two lines down.

## Test improvements

* **T4 — ``_BARRIER`` singleton routing pinned** by new
  ``TestOrchestrationUtilsRoutesThroughSingleton``. Patches
  ``orchestration_utils._BARRIER`` and asserts
  ``enqueue.assert_called_once_with(...)``. Locks the singleton
  as the single dispatch point ahead of Phase 6b's factory swap.

* **T5 — Inventory canary regex tightened**
  (``test_chord_sites_characterisation.py``). Was
  ``(?:^|[\s=(])chord\(`` which could match docstring prose. Now
  requires assignment form ``=\s*chord\(``. Comment lines
  (lstrip + startswith "#") explicitly skipped.

* **T6 — Call-site fairness contracts pinned** by new
  ``TestCallSiteFairnessContracts``. ``api-deployment/tasks.py``
  → ``WorkloadType.API`` + ``org_id=str(schema_name)``;
  ``general/tasks.py`` → ``WorkloadType.NON_API`` +
  ``org_id=organization_id``. A swap goes undetected by the
  isolated barrier tests.

* **T8 — Zero-files contract pinned** by new
  ``TestApiDeploymentZeroFilesContract``. Asserts the defensive
  branch dispatches via the seam (``dispatch(...)``) with body=[],
  not raw ``send_task``.

## CodeRabbit / SonarCloud already addressed

* CodeRabbit's ``logger.exception`` suggestion + SonarCloud's
  ``python:S8572`` finding both addressed in ``13c10d9fe``.

## Validation

* Touched test modules: 23 / 23 passing (was 19 → +4 new tests)
* Full workers suite: 6 failed (pre-existing baseline, unchanged)
  / 661 passed (was 657 → +4 new tests)
* Five deterministic-order runs: exactly 6/661 each time — zero
  flakiness
* The dispatch-sites canary
  (``test_dispatch_sites_characterisation``) caught my initial
  T1 fix using ``app.send_task`` directly; refactored to
  ``queue_backend.dispatch`` so the seam stays enforced.

## Production regression risk

After this commit + parent PR, vs. pre-PR-2024 main:
* Wire size: +~80 bytes per chord member task (additive fairness
  header). Negligible at 130K scale.
* All other paths byte-identical: API chord (non-empty + zero-
  files), general/ETL chord, chord_unlock polling, result backend
  + callback firing, backend Django chord sites, mixed-version
  rolling deploy.

…SonarCloud python:S5797 + python:S1481)

SonarCloud flagged two issues on the same line of
``test_api_deployment_declares_api_workload_with_schema_name``:

* **python:S5797** (constant condition) — ``importlib.import_module("api-deployment.tasks") if False else None`` always evaluates the ``else`` branch.
* **python:S1481** (unused local) — ``api_tasks`` was never read after assignment.

Both flag the same vestigial line I left in while figuring out how
to read ``api-deployment/tasks.py`` (the dash in the directory name
isn't a valid Python identifier, so ``import api-deployment.tasks``
doesn't work — the test reads the file by path instead). The
``if False`` was a placeholder I forgot to delete.

Cleaned up:
* Removed the dead ``api_tasks = ... if False else None`` line.
* Removed the now-unused ``import importlib`` and
  ``import importlib.util`` imports.
* Folded the "not a valid Python identifier" comment into the
  test docstring where it documents the import-by-path approach.

Behaviour unchanged — test still reads ``api-deployment/tasks.py``
by path and asserts the same FairnessKey contract. 14/14 tests in
test_barrier.py still pass; full workers suite still at 6 pre-
existing failures / 661 passed.
