Zamil Majdy 3abea1ed96 fix(backend): prevent duplicate graph executions across multiple executor pods (#11008)
## Problem
Multiple executor pods could simultaneously execute the same graph,
leading to:
- Duplicate executions and wasted resources
- Inconsistent execution states and results
- Race conditions in graph execution management
- Inefficient resource utilization in cluster environments

## Solution
Implement distributed locking using ClusterLock to ensure only one
executor pod can process a specific graph execution at a time.

## Key Changes

### Core Fix: Distributed Execution Coordination
- **ClusterLock implementation**: Redis-based distributed locking
prevents duplicate executions
- **Atomic lock acquisition**: Only one executor can hold the lock for a
specific graph execution
- **Automatic lock expiry**: Prevents deadlocks if executor pods crash
or become unresponsive
- **Graceful degradation**: System continues operating even if Redis
becomes temporarily unavailable

### Technical Implementation
- Move ClusterLock to `backend/executor/` alongside ExecutionManager
(its primary consumer)
- Comprehensive integration tests (27 test scenarios) ensure reliability
under all conditions
- Redis client compatibility for different deployment configurations
- Rate-limited lock refresh to minimize Redis load

### Reliability Improvements
- **Context manager support**: Automatic lock cleanup prevents resource
leaks
- **Ownership verification**: Locks can only be refreshed/released by
the owner
- **Concurrency testing**: Thread-safe operations verified under high
contention
- **Error handling**: Robust failure scenarios including network
partitions

## Test Coverage
-  Concurrent executor coordination (prevents duplicate executions)
-  Lock expiry and refresh mechanisms (prevents deadlocks)
-  Redis connection failures (graceful degradation)
-  Thread safety under high load (production scenarios)
-  Long-running executions with periodic refresh

## Impact
- **No more duplicate executions**: Eliminates wasted compute resources
and inconsistent results
- **Improved reliability**: Robust distributed coordination across
executor pods
- **Better resource utilization**: Only one pod processes each execution
- **Scalable architecture**: Supports multiple executor pods without
conflicts

## Validation
- All integration tests pass 
- Existing ExecutionManager functionality preserved   
- No breaking changes to APIs 
- Production-ready distributed locking
