ee28032fb9 fix(middleware): replace BaseHTTPMiddleware HTTP middlewares with pure ASGI implementations (#23709)
* fix(middleware): replace BaseHTTPMiddleware HTTP middlewares with pure ASGI implementations

Starlette's BaseHTTPMiddleware (and the @app.middleware('http')
decorator that uses it) wraps the downstream app in an anyio task
group whose cancel scope tears down the inner task on every exit —
client disconnect, response complete, or any outer middleware bailing.
That CancelledError gets injected into whatever the inner task was
awaiting, so DB queries, embedding calls, and other long awaits get
killed mid-flight. Under aiosqlite the cleanup path then logs a
multi-page `terminate_force_close() not implemented` traceback at
ERROR for every cancelled DB call.

Open WebUI had four such middlewares stacked
(`commit_session_after_request`, `check_url`, `inspect_websocket`,
`RedirectMiddleware`) so a single cancellation would compound through
all four.

Move the four middlewares to a new `open_webui.utils.asgi_middleware`
module as plain ASGI classes (`__call__(scope, receive, send)`):

  * `CommitSessionMiddleware`   — was `commit_session_after_request`;
                                  now also rolls back if commit fails
                                  before releasing the connection.
  * `AuthTokenMiddleware`       — was `check_url`; sets request.state
                                  token + enable_api_keys + stamps
                                  X-Process-Time via a wrapped send.
  * `WebsocketUpgradeGuardMiddleware`
                                — was `inspect_websocket`; rejects
                                  /ws/socket.io HTTP requests that
                                  claim transport=websocket without a
                                  proper Upgrade/Connection header.
  * `RedirectMiddleware`        — was the BaseHTTPMiddleware subclass;
                                  same /watch + share-target rewrites.

Pure ASGI does not introduce a cancel scope around the downstream app,
so client disconnects propagate via `receive()` (the way ASGI was
designed) instead of being injected as CancelledError. Middleware
ordering is preserved.

* fix(middleware): CommitSessionMiddleware — rollback on downstream error, never commit failed requests

The first cut put commit() in a finally block, which meant that even
when a downstream handler raised, the middleware would still commit
whatever partial sync writes that handler had made before the
failure. That regressed the previous BaseHTTPMiddleware semantics
where commit only ran on the success path.

Restructure the failure handling:

* Downstream raised → rollback any pending sync work, release the
  connection, re-raise so the outer error middleware turns it into
  an error response. We never commit a request that did not complete.
* Downstream returned → commit. On commit failure, log loudly,
  rollback, and re-raise. ScopedSession.remove() always runs in
  finally so the connection cannot leak.

Document the inherent pure-ASGI limitation explicitly: by the time
`await self.app(...)` returns the response messages have already
been emitted, so a commit failure can no longer change what the
client sees on the wire. Buffering the response to gate it on commit
success would break streaming responses (chat completions, SSE) which
are core to Open WebUI; the trade-off is intentional. Routes that
need commit-before-send must manage the sync session explicitly.

Also drop unused `typing` imports flagged by review.

"""
Pure-ASGI replacements for the project's previous
`@app.middleware('http')` / `BaseHTTPMiddleware` middlewares.
Why this matters
----------------
Starlette's `BaseHTTPMiddleware` (which `@app.middleware('http')` is
sugar for) runs the downstream app inside an `anyio` task group. When
the wrapper exits — for any reason: response complete, client
disconnect, an outer middleware bailing out — the task group cancels
the inner task. That `CancelledError` then propagates into whatever
the inner task was doing, including in-flight DB queries, embedding
calls and disk I/O.
In Open WebUI this surfaces as:
* SQLAlchemy logging multi-page `NotImplementedError:
terminate_force_close()` tracebacks at ERROR every time a request is
cancelled mid-DB-call (the aiosqlite connector cleanup path).
* Spurious cancellations cascading through the four stacked
`@app.middleware('http')` wrappers.
Pure ASGI middleware does not introduce a cancel scope around the
downstream app, so client disconnects propagate the way ASGI was
designed to (via `receive()` returning `http.disconnect`) instead of
being injected as `CancelledError` into arbitrary `await` points.

"""Commit and release the thread-local sync `ScopedSession` after each
HTTP request.
Most requests now use the async session; the sync ScopedSession is
only touched by startup, healthchecks, and a handful of legacy
helpers (notably the pgvector / opengauss vector-DB clients). The
middleware exists so that PostgreSQL connections do not accumulate
as "idle in transaction" and so that any pending sync work made
inside the request is durably persisted.
Failure semantics
-----------------
* Downstream raised → roll back any pending sync work, release the
connection, and re-raise so the outer exception middleware can
turn it into an error response. We never commit work on a
request that did not complete successfully.
* Downstream returned → commit pending sync work; on commit
failure, log loudly, roll back, and re-raise. Note that in pure
ASGI the response messages have already been emitted by the
time `await self.app(...)` returns, so a commit failure cannot
retroactively change what the client sees on the wire — but
re-raising still surfaces the error in logs and to ASGI servers
that expose it. We deliberately do not buffer the response to
gate it on commit success, because that would defeat streaming
responses (chat completions, SSE) which are core to the app.
For request paths where commit-before-send is required, manage the
sync session explicitly inside the handler instead of relying on
this middleware.
