## Description When `soft_fail=True`, deferred sensors currently skip on **all** exceptions, while non-deferred (`poke`/`reschedule` mode) sensors only skip on timeout-related exceptions (`AirflowSensorTimeout`, `AirflowTaskTimeout`, `AirflowFailException`) and let unexpected errors propagate. This behavior gap means operators cannot distinguish between a sensor timeout (legitimate skip) and a sensor misconfiguration or unexpected error when using deferred mode with `soft_fail=True`. ## Fix In `BaseSensorOperator.resume_execution()`, split the exception handling into two tiers matching the `execute()` method: 1. **Timeout-related exceptions** (`AirflowSensorTimeout`, `AirflowTaskTimeout`, `AirflowFailException`) → `soft_fail` and `never_fail` apply (skip) 2. **Other exceptions** (`AirflowException`, `TaskDeferralError`) → only `never_fail` applies (not `soft_fail`) ## Related issue Closes #71255 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
