Preston Percival e8f19aa338 feat(graphrag): fix merge concurrency and add resume-from-checkpoint (#14238)
This PR addresses three related GraphRAG reliability issues that
together allow long-running GraphRAG tasks (10+ hours of LLM extraction)
to be resumed after a crash or pause without re-doing completed work. It
builds on #14096 (per-doc subgraph cache) and extends the same idea to
the resolution and community-detection phases.

Fixes #14236.

## 1. Fix concurrent merge crash

Long GraphRAG runs would crash near the end of entity resolution with:
```
RuntimeError: dictionary keys changed during iteration
```
in `Extractor._merge_graph_nodes`. Two changes:

- `rag/graphrag/general/extractor.py`: snapshot `graph.neighbors(node1)`
via `list(...)` before iterating, so concurrent `add_edge` /
`remove_node` mutations on the shared `nx.Graph` cannot invalidate the
iterator. Also tracks each redirected neighbour in `node0_neighbors` so
a later merged node sharing the same external neighbour takes the
edge-merge branch instead of overwriting via `add_edge`.
- `rag/graphrag/entity_resolution.py`: serialize the merge step with a
dedicated `asyncio.Semaphore(1)`. `nx.Graph` is not thread-safe and
concurrent merges on overlapping neighbourhoods can produce incorrect
results even with the snapshot fix.

## 2. Don't wipe partial graph on pause

Previously the pause / cancel UI path called
`settings.docStoreConn.delete({"knowledge_graph_kwd": [...]}, ...)`,
destroying every subgraph, entity, relation, and graph row.
Re-triggering then started GraphRAG from scratch even though #14096 had
already added `load_subgraph_from_store`.

After main was merged in (which deleted `api/apps/kb_app.py` per
#14394), the pause path now lives on the new REST surface `DELETE
/v1/datasets/<id>/<index_type>`:

- `api/apps/services/dataset_api_service.py`: `delete_index` accepts a
`wipe: bool = True` parameter. When `False` the doc-store rows and
GraphRAG phase markers are left intact and only the running task is
cancelled. Default preserves historical behaviour.
- `api/apps/restful_apis/dataset_api.py`: parses `?wipe=false|0|no|off`
from the query string and forwards it.
- `web/src/utils/api.ts` + `web/src/services/knowledge-service.ts`:
`unbindPipelineTask` appends `?wipe=false` when explicitly false.
- The GraphRAG pause action in
`web/src/pages/dataset/dataset/generate-button/hook.ts` passes `wipe:
false` for `KnowledgeGraph`; raptor is unchanged.

**UX impact:** the pause icon next to a running GraphRAG task no longer
wipes graph data. The only path that still wipes is the explicit Delete
action in `GenerateLogButton` (trash icon behind a confirmation modal).

## 3. Phase-completion markers (`rag/graphrag/phase_markers.py`)

A small Redis-backed marker layer at
`graphrag:phase:{kb_id}:{resolution_done|community_done}` (7-day TTL).
`run_graphrag_for_kb` consults the markers on entry and skips phases
that already completed in a prior run. Markers are cleared automatically
when:
- new docs are merged into the graph (which invalidates prior resolution
and community results),
- `delete_index` wipes the graph, or
- `delete_knowledge_graph` is called.

Redis failures never block a run -- markers are an optimization, not a
gate.

## 4. Idempotent community detection

`extract_community` previously did `delete-then-insert` on
`community_report` rows; a crash mid-insert left the dataset with no
reports. Now report IDs are derived deterministically from `(kb_id,
community.title)`, the existing report IDs are snapshotted before
insert, new rows are written, then only stale rows are pruned. A failure
at any step leaves either the prior or the new report set intact --
never a partial mix.

## 5. Tunable doc-store insert pipeline

The GraphRAG insert loop in `rag/graphrag/utils.py` and the
`community_report` insert in `rag/graphrag/general/index.py` were both
hardcoded to `es_bulk_size = 4` and ran strictly sequentially. On a real
KB this meant 1077 chunks took ~21 minutes for a 100-chunk slice -- pure
round-trip overhead.

- New `insert_chunks_bounded()` helper in `rag/graphrag/utils.py`
batches inserts via a bounded `asyncio.Semaphore`. Same retry / timeout
semantics as the prior loop.
- Defaults: 64 docs per batch, 4 batches in flight (matches the regular
ingest pipeline in `document_service.py`). Tunable per-deployment via
`GRAPHRAG_INSERT_BULK_SIZE` and `GRAPHRAG_INSERT_CONCURRENCY`.
- Both `set_graph` and `extract_community` now use the helper.

This dropped the same 1077-chunk insert from minutes to seconds in local
testing without measurable extra pressure on Infinity (total in-flight
docs ≤ `BULK_SIZE × CONCURRENCY` = 256 by default).

## Tests

- `test/unit_test/rag/graphrag/test_merge_graph_nodes.py` (3 tests):
dense neighbourhood merge, neighbour-snapshot regression, concurrent
serialized merges.
- `test/unit_test/rag/graphrag/test_phase_markers.py` (4 tests): set/has
round-trip, kb-scoped clear, no-op on empty input, graceful Redis
failure.
-
`test/testcases/test_web_api/test_dataset_management/test_dataset_sdk_routes_unit.py`:
new `test_delete_index_wipe_flag_unit` covers `wipe=false` for both
GraphRAG and raptor on the new REST route, and confirms the default
still wipes and clears phase markers.

## Compatibility

- Backward compatible: tasks queued before this change behave
identically (default `wipe=true`, no markers expected).
- No schema/migration changes; all new state lives in Redis.
- New optional REST query param `wipe` on `DELETE
/v1/datasets/<id>/<index_type>`.
- New optional env vars `GRAPHRAG_INSERT_BULK_SIZE` and
`GRAPHRAG_INSERT_CONCURRENCY`; defaults preserve safe behaviour.

## Example of resume

applying the concurrency fix and re-deploying.
