+    Decide whether one attempt of an IterableOperator may resume from its 
per-index checkpoints.
+
+    Checkpoints are only consulted from the second attempt onwards. A 
completion marker left by a
+    previous attempt whose iterations all finished means this attempt follows 
a manual clear when
+    ``max_tries`` changed since: a clear sets it to ``try_number + retries``, 
a retry leaves it
+    alone, and it can go down when the retries were lowered, so any change 
counts. Every index then
+    runs again: the stale ``SUCCESS`` checkpoints are ignored and overwritten. 
With ``max_tries``
+    unchanged, the iterations finished but the task failed afterwards (the 
worker died, or
+    ``post_execute`` or the result push failed), and this retry resumes from 
the checkpoints that
+    attempt could trust; only a clear that leaves ``max_tries`` exactly as it 
was (the retries
+    lowered by as many attempts as ran since) is taken for such a retry. A 
marker without
+    ``max_tries`` counts as a clear. On entry after a clear the marker is 
replaced by the
+    attempt the rerun starts at, so that a crash during the rerun resumes from 
the checkpoints
+    written since, and only from those: an index the crashed rerun did not 
reach still holds its
+    checkpoint from before the clear, which must not be replayed. The marker 
is written again when
+    the block exits without an exception, and when every iteration skipped: 
the task is then
+    ``SKIPPED``, a final state, and a clear of it must run every iteration 
again rather than
+    replay the skips, as a cleared mapped task instance would. An attempt that 
fails, even with
+    some iterations skipped, writes no marker, so a retry or a clear after it 
resumes: iterations
+    that succeeded or skipped keep that outcome and only the others run again.
+
+    The checkpoints themselves are never deleted: one marker write costs the 
same whatever the indexed task
+    count, and the store is scoped to the parent task instance, so state a 
sub-task stored for itself
+    is never touched. They expire with the store's default retention 
(``[state_store]
+    default_retention_days``, 30 days unless configured, 0 disables expiry), 
which also bounds how
+    long a task that exhausted its retries keeps them. Keeping them until then 
is intended: a manual
+    clear of such a task resumes from the checkpoints instead of re-running 
every index, and the
+    marker is what tells a clear-after-success apart from that.

+class IterableOperator(BaseOperator):
+    """
+    Operator used for Iterable Tasks (IT) that runs a mapped operator over an 
iterable input.
+
+    The IterableOperator wraps a :class:`MappedOperator` together with an
+    :class:`ExpandInput` and is responsible for creating and running the
+    per-index runtime task instances. The IterableOperator itself participates
+    in Airflow's native retry mechanism — its ``retries`` and ``retry_delay``
+    are inherited from the wrapped operator so that when any sub-task needs
+    a retry the whole IterableOperator is retried by Airflow. Already-succeeded
+    sub-tasks are skipped on each retry attempt because their state is
+    checkpointed in the ``task_state_store``.
+
+    The IterableOperator executes the mapped operator instances using a
+    concurrent executor with a configurable number of workers. By default
+    the worker count is taken from the mapped operator's ``partial_kwargs``
+    (``task_concurrency``) if present, otherwise falls back to
+    ``os.cpu_count()`` and finally to ``1``. ``os.cpu_count()`` counts the 
CPUs of
+    the machine: a worker in a container with a CPU limit still sees every CPU 
of
+    its node, so set ``task_concurrency`` there.
+
+    **Crash recovery:** When the worker crashes mid-iteration and the task is 
re-run (e.g. via a
+    manual clear), already-succeeded sub-tasks are skipped and only the 
pending/failed ones are
+    executed again. Every sub-task inherits its ``try_number`` from the 
IterableOperator's own task
+    instance, so the attempt count reported to a sub-task matches the attempt 
Airflow is currently
+    running. The checkpoint is only consulted from the second attempt onwards, 
and solely to decide
+    whether an index already succeeded. Once every index has succeeded, a 
completion marker is written
+    so that a *subsequent* manual clear (which does not reset ``try_number``) 
re-runs every index from
+    scratch instead of replaying the previous run's stale results (see 
:class:`Checkpoints`). A
+    checkpoint carries the indexed task's full result (plus its extra XComs 
and outlet events) and lives in
+    the ``task_state_store`` table for the store's retention, unless a 
``[workers]
+    state_store_backend`` is configured and only a reference is stored; a 
custom XCom backend alone
+    does not keep large results out of the metadata database.
+
+    :param operator: The :class:`MappedOperator` to unmap and execute for
+        each element of ``expand_input``. Each indexed runtime receives a
+        deep copy/unmapped instance of this operator.
+
+    :param expand_input: Provider of the values to iterate
+        over. Its ``aresolve(context)`` method gives the indexed task count 
and the
+        per-index ``mapped_kwargs`` used to unmap the operator.
+
+    :param kwargs: Additional keyword arguments forwarded to
+        :class:`BaseOperator` when instantiating the IterableOperator
+        (e.g. ``dag``, ``start_date``).
+
+    :returns: An :class:`XComIterable` if the mapped operator pushes XComs, 
otherwise ``None``.
+
+    .. note::
+        ``multiple_outputs`` is ignored for iterated tasks. Each sub-task's 
return value is pushed
+        whole as ``return_value_<index>`` and the task's own return value is 
the ``XComIterable``
+        over them, so a ``Mapping`` return annotation on the wrapped ``@task`` 
does not fan its
+        keys out into separate XComs the way it does for ``.expand()``.
+
+    .. note::
+        Deferred operators (those that raise 
:class:`~airflow.sdk.exceptions.TaskDeferred`) are not
+        supported yet inside IterableOperator. A ``TaskDeferred`` exception 
raised by an indexed task
+        instance will propagate as an error rather than pausing and resuming 
the task.
+
+        Reschedule-mode sensors (those that raise 
:class:`~airflow.sdk.exceptions.AirflowRescheduleException`)
+        are also not supported. A reschedule raised by an indexed task 
instance will fail the whole
+        IterableOperator immediately with a clear error rather than being 
silently mishandled.
+
+        Triggering DAG runs 
(:class:`~airflow.sdk.exceptions.DagRunTriggerException`, raised by
+        ``TriggerDagRunOperator``) and skipping downstream tasks are not 
supported either: a sub-task
+        index has no DAG run or downstream tasks of its own for the 
trigger/skip to apply to.
+        Operators that can skip downstream tasks (``ShortCircuitOperator``, 
the branch operators,
+        ``@task.short_circuit``, ``@task.branch`` and any other ``SkipMixin``) 
are rejected by
+        ``.iterate()`` itself, since inside an iteration they would find 
nothing to skip and let
+        every downstream task run. A trigger, or a
+        :class:`~airflow.sdk.exceptions.DownstreamTasksSkipped` raised anyway, 
fails the whole
+        IterableOperator immediately with a clear error rather than silently 
doing nothing.
+
+        Sub-task outcomes are classified before being aggregated: if any 
sub-task raises
+        :class:`~airflow.sdk.exceptions.AirflowFailException`, that exception 
is re-raised directly so
+        the IterableOperator fails without retrying. A sub-task that raises
+        :class:`~airflow.sdk.exceptions.AirflowSkipException` is skipped, as a 
mapped task instance
+        would be: it pushes no XCom, does not fail the task and is not run 
again on a retry. It is
+        left out of the task's :class:`~airflow.sdk.bases.xcom.XComIterable`, 
so downstream tasks
+        only see the values that exist. A sub-task that returns ``None`` is 
not skipped: it succeeds,
+        pushes no XCom and keeps its position in the sequence, which reads 
``None`` there, so a
+        downstream ``.expand()`` over the result runs over it; ``.expand()`` 
leaves a mapped task
+        instance that returned ``None`` out of the count instead. A direct 
downstream task whose trigger rule skips it when an
+        upstream task instance is skipped (``all_success``, ``none_skipped``,
+        ``all_done_min_one_success``) is skipped, as after a mapped upstream; 
one with a rule such
+        as ``none_failed`` runs over the remaining values. If *every* sub-task 
is skipped, a single
+        ``AirflowSkipException`` is re-raised so the IterableOperator itself 
is marked ``SKIPPED``, and
+        so is it over an empty input, as a mapped task over nothing is. All 
other sub-task exceptions are aggregated
+        into a :class:`BaseExceptionGroup` and treated as a regular retryable 
failure.
+
+    .. warning::
+        **Inputs are shared between iterations.**
+
+        All iterations run in one process, so a value handed to several of 
them is the same object
+        in each of them: every value passed through ``.partial()``, and with
+        ``.iterate(a=..., b=...)`` every element of ``a`` and of ``b``, which 
the cross product
+        combines more than once. A mapped task instance gets its own copy, 
because it runs in its
+        own process; an iteration does not. Treat inputs as read-only, or copy 
what the task
+        changes in place.
+
+    .. note::
+        **Callbacks run per indexed task, and a failed one's wait for the 
task's fate.**
+
+        ``on_success_callback`` and ``on_skipped_callback`` run once the 
indexed task's checkpoint is
+        written, so they speak for work a retry will not run again, where it 
ran: in its worker
+        thread for a sync operator, on the event loop for an async one. A 
failed indexed task's
+        ``on_failure_callback`` or ``on_retry_callback`` runs once every 
indexed task has run, on the
+        thread that ran the iteration, and says what happens to the task: 
retried or failed for good
+        (see :class:`IndexedTaskOutcomes`). A failure no indexed task
+        owns, such as an error resolving the input, fires no callback, and 
neither does an indexed
+        task pulled before a kill and never started: the iterated task has no 
callbacks of its own.
+        Listeners fire once, for the task instance, as for any task; an 
indexed task is not a task
+        instance and fires none.
+
+    .. note::
+        **Pools count the task instance, not its iterations.**
+
+        The scheduler reserves ``pool_slots`` once for the iterated task, 
while up to
+        ``task_concurrency`` iterations run inside it. A pool sized to cap the 
load on a shared
+        resource (database connections, the rate limit of an API) therefore 
sees one reservation
+        for that many concurrent uses. Choose ``task_concurrency`` with the 
pool in mind; reserving
+        slots per iteration needs support in the scheduler, which does not 
exist yet.
+
+    .. note::
+        **Async sub-tasks should prefer async SDK calls.**
+
+        IterableOperator runs multiple async sub-tasks concurrently on the 
same event loop, each
+        making async SDK calls of its own (checkpointing, XCom push). If an 
async sub-task's
+        ``aexecute()`` — or a hook/callback it calls — issues a *synchronous* 
SDK call instead (e.g.
+        ``Variable.get``, ``BaseHook.get_connection``/``get_hook``, 
``ti.xcom_pull``, or a sync
+        ``on_success_callback``/``pre_execute``), the call works but blocks 
the event loop, and so
+        every sub-task on it, for its round trip to the supervisor, waiting 
first for a sibling's
+        call in flight. Use the async equivalents inside async operators:
+        :meth:`~airflow.sdk.bases.hook.BaseHook.aget_connection`/``aget_hook``,
+        ``ti.axcom_pull`` and ``Variable.aget``/``aset``. Sync sub-tasks are 
not concerned: they run
+        in worker threads, their ``execute``, hooks and callbacks included, 
where a synchronous SDK
+        call waits its turn without holding up the loop; so does ``on_kill`` 
of the sub-operators,
+        which :meth:`on_kill` runs off the loop thread.
+
+    .. warning::
+        **``execution_timeout`` caps the whole iteration, not each indexed 
task.**
+
+        The IterableOperator keeps the wrapped operator's 
``execution_timeout`` as a wall-clock limit
+        on the entire task instance. The runner enforces it on the main thread 
exactly as for any
+        other task, so an iteration that overruns fails with 
``AirflowTaskTimeout`` and
+        :meth:`on_kill` is propagated to every sub-task still in flight. Since 
``.iterate()`` runs
+        all indexed tasks in one task instance, this is the per-instance limit 
of ``.expand()`` applied
+        to the whole iteration rather than to each indexed task: no limit 
applies per indexed task,
+        sync or async (one of the same value, started later, could never fire 
first). An
+        ``AirflowTaskTimeout`` a sync sub-task raises itself (a hook that gave 
up waiting) is that
+        sub-task's own failure, as it is the mapped task instance's under 
``.expand()``.

Review Comment:
   Right, fixed in 843d6b3a3a: the `_report_item` docstring, the kill comment 
in `_run_tasks` and the `in_flight` docstring now give the reason that holds 
since the call waits, that on the loop thread it would hold up every item for 
its round trip. The leftover copy of the `_DECISION_WEIGHT` comment is gone. I 
also went through the whole change for other passages saying a sync call on the 
loop raises; the remaining `DeadlockImminentError` wording is about the 
re-entry case only, which still raises.

Review Comment:
   Right, fixed in dec578bccf as you suggested: `report_failure` sets 
`self._context["exception"] = self.failure` before running the callbacks. A new 
test runs two failing items through `.partial(...).iterate(...)` and checks 
that each `on_retry_callback` (retries left) and each `on_failure_callback` 
(last attempt) gets its own item's error; both fail on the previous code.

Review Comment:
   Yes, done in 4a2e548a51: `run_sync` and the sync path of `submit`, which had 
the same gap, now hand the pool `contextvars.copy_context().run`, a fresh copy 
per call, as `asyncio.to_thread` does. A new executor test with `max_workers=1` 
checks that each call sees what its caller set and not what the previous call 
on that thread set, for both paths; it fails on the previous code. The copy has 
a small cost, measured with CodSpeed's simulation mode on a benchmark of the 
executor (instructions):
   
   | Benchmark | Change |
   |---|---|
   | `run_sync` round trip | +1.8% |
   | `submit` round trip | +1.7% |
   | `imap_unordered` over 50 sync items | +1.4% |
   
   That is a few thousand instructions per call, against an item's own work, 
and what `asyncio.to_thread` pays too.
