Task Logs - Fix Reset Document Status Feature

Date: 2025-12-05 Mode: beastmode

Actions

• Fixed bug in reset_document_status endpoint: changed attribute access (status_doc.content_summary) to dict key access (status_doc.get("content_summary", ""))
• Cleared Python cache and reinstalled package with pip install -e .
• Restarted LightRAG server to pick up changes
• Verified endpoint registration via OpenAPI spec
• Tested API endpoint with curl - successfully reset document from "failed" to "pending"
• Rebuilt WebUI with bun run build

Decisions

• Used .get() with default values for safe dict access to handle potentially missing keys
• Kept existing endpoint design pattern consistent with other document routes

Changes Made

lightrag/api/routers/document_routes.py

• Line 3280-3293: Changed from object attribute access to dict key access:

# Before (buggy):
"content_summary": current_status.content_summary,
"content_length": current_status.content_length,
...

# After (fixed):
"content_summary": current_status.get("content_summary", ""),
"content_length": current_status.get("content_length", 0),
...

Next Steps

• Test the "Reset to Pending" button in the WebUI
• Document the new API endpoint in API documentation
• Consider adding rate limiting for reset endpoint

Lessons/Insights

• PGDocStatusStorage.get_by_id() returns a dict, not a DocProcessingStatus object - important to check return types when working with storage adapters
• Server needs package reinstall (pip install -e .) when router structure changes, not just cache clearing
• OpenAPI spec is the source of truth for verifying endpoint registration
