load_content_files no-ops for non-course resources, so the randomized factory type made the test order-dependent. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

content_files_loaded_actions fires search indexing gated by randomized resource fields; when the draw enables it, the eager task hits the nonexistent test opensearch and the resulting Retry is swallowed by process_course_archive's bare except, leaving the checksum unstamped.

Description (What does it do?)
One PDF that crashes the OCR converter currently aborts an entire canvas course sync before any contentfiles load — course
33842-7.06is stuck at 0 contentfiles on production because a single answer-key PDF crashes opendataloader (RasterFormatException). The same per-file loop (process_olx_path) serves edX archive ingestion and canvas tutor problem files, so any extractor exception kills those syncs the same way.This branch makes a failing file cost exactly that one file:
load_content_files' staleness/unpublish pass (canvas and edX), and the tutor problem orphan delete. Files that fail are simply absent this run — no empty placeholder rows.run.checksum, so a deterministic crash isn't re-downloaded and re-OCR'd weekly (failed files retry when the archive next changes, or via--overwrite). A total failure does not stamp, so the course retries next sync instead of looking legitimately empty. Same on edX: an all-failed archive is no longer mistaken for an empty one.No new database queries — the exclusions chain onto existing lazy querysets, and with no failures the generated SQL is identical to main.
How can this be tested?
Use the course from the issue — its current archive contains the PDF that crashes the converter, so it exercises the real failure path. With env pointed at the canvas course bucket (
CANVAS_COURSE_BUCKET_NAMEetc.) and OCR enabled:main, run./manage.py backpopulate_canvas_courses --canvas-ids 33842and watch it die on7.06_Fall2025_Exam1_answers.pdf(FileNotFoundErrorfor the converter output JSON) with the course left at 0 contentfiles.OCR extraction failed ... falling back to tikawarning for the answer-key PDF(s), the course going from 0 to ~158 contentfiles (the fallback text may be sparse), andrun.checksumset.--overwrite— it should logChecksums match ... skipping loadinstead of re-downloading and re-extracting.39194from the same incident) and sync it — no existing contentfiles should be deleted or flipped topublished=Falsebecause of extraction failures.
