@Wbm1058's bot Bot1058 is unable to perform a link update using the API, and I can't figure out why. Neither the API responses nor the server logs indicate any failures. Yet the page_links_updated database field is not getting bumped, which should always happen at the end of a link update.
Discussion so far: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)/Archive_209#Purge_API_seems_to_still_be_broken
We tried enabling verbose logs for a few attempts. It's clearly scheduling a DeferredUpdate to do it (note the Recursive link purge enqueued for {title} entries), and then that update is not happening, and I don't see anything that would indicate why. https://logstash.wikimedia.org/goto/db796e584a83d2528d4569bb55bfdf8a
For comparison, here's a similar request performed from my account, which succeeds (note the DeferredUpdates::run: started AutoCommitUpdate_MediaWiki\Deferred\LinksUpdate\LinksUpdate::doUpdate entries, missing in the previous log). https://logstash.wikimedia.org/goto/f080a980922ea6c958620a6823236a46
(Note for Logstash viewing: entries within the same millisecond may be shown out-of-order; also, I hid a few logging channels, so that the more interesting for the whole request may be shown without hitting the limit of 500 results)
