   > > > 409 invalid_state is coming when same TI gets terminal `SUCCESS` 
update more than once. In this case, by the time task runner sends final 
SUCCESS, DB already has SUCCESS (`previous_state=success`), so API rejects the 
second write.

   > In `DagRun.schedule_tis()` (`airflow-core/src/airflow/models/dagrun.py`), 
the scheduling update is keyed by TI id and can run from a stale scheduler 
view, which allows duplicate scheduling / try bump for the same TI under 
contention. That means the same TI can be enqueued as try 1 and try 2.

   > Then one attempt finishes first and sets TI to `success`. When the other 
attempt later reports terminal state, execution API correctly rejects it with 
`409 invalid_state` / `previous_state=success` 
(`airflow-core/src/airflow/api_fastapi/execution_api/routes/task_instances.py`).
   
   If you say that tghe issue is due to a stale view, maybe this can be solved 
by an exclusive lock? or if the stale view comes from ORM cache, maybe we can 
clear the cache before running the query?
   
   as this probably should also be part of the critical section of the main 
scheduler loop, what do you think?
