The previous commit's refresh(query, attribute_names=["status"]) correctly
avoids writing a dirty `status` itself (SQLAlchemy expires the named
attribute before reloading it, so a stale local value is discarded rather
than flushed) -- but verified empirically (SQLAlchemy 2.0.52) that the
reload's own SELECT still triggers a normal autoflush of any OTHER dirty
attribute on the object first. With a second field (e.g. tmp_table_name)
also dirty alongside status -- which is the normal, expected state when an
exception interrupts execute_sql_statements() partway through -- the
targeted refresh still emitted `UPDATE ... SET tmp_table_name=?` before
`SELECT ... status`. So the previous commit's comment claim ("without
writing this handler's own possibly-stale local state first") was only
actually true for the status column itself, not for pending local state in
general.
Wrapped the targeted refresh in `db.session.no_autoflush`: verified this
emits only the targeted SELECT, with no UPDATE beforehand, and leaves other
pending attributes exactly as dirty as they were, to be flushed normally by
this function's own commit() later (once past the STOPPED check). Updated
the comment to describe what's actually guaranteed now.
Added a direct regression test that captures the real SQL statements
handle_query_error() emits (via a SQLAlchemy `before_cursor_execute` event
listener, not mocked) with a second dirty field alongside status, and
asserts no UPDATE/INSERT appears before the targeted, single-column status
SELECT -- following the same verification method used to find the bug in
the first place, rather than only checking the final outcome (which this
bug doesn't actually corrupt, since the premature write happens inside a
transaction that gets rolled back on the STOPPED early-return path; the SQL
ordering itself is the only place this regression is observable). Also
extended the existing concurrency test with a second dirty field for the
same reason.
