(Selected by length, technical content, and presence of questions)

• PR #62103 (fix triggerer logger's file descriptor closed when it removed)
  • File: airflow-core/src/airflow/jobs/triggerer_job_runner.py
  • "Can we handle it similar to how it is done for DAG processor: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/47574 In short something like this, where we store the handler and clear it to avoid diversion from that approach? ```diff diff --git a/airflow-core/src/airflow/jobs/triggerer_job_runner.py b/airfl"
• PR #59874 (Added bulk XCom deletion support to Task Execution API)
  • File: airflow-core/src/airflow/api_fastapi/execution_api/routes/xcoms.py
  • "This is dangerous. This makes: DELETE /example_dag/manual__2025-01-01T00:00:00 a valid call and can delete all xcoms if not done carefully. Another issue I see is: DELETE /dag/run?task_id=task_a&key=return_value earlier can now be DELETE /dag/run?task_id=task_a unintentionally, which will del"
• PR #45931 (Add config option [secrets]backends_order)
  • File: airflow-core/src/airflow/config_templates/config.yml
  • "On giving this some more thought, I am not very convinced that having the config under "secrets" is the right thing to do. For someone wanting to configure workers backend, they have to set this: [secrets] backends_order, [workers] secrets_backend which is not at all intuitive and is confusing."
• PR #58825 (Improve prek hook to check for proper imports in shared distributions)
  • File: shared/module_loading/src/airflow_shared/module_loading/__init__.py
  • "My main concern around having too many shared libraries is confusion. It is very easy even for people using IDE support to end up importing airflow._shared in sdk code. Created unwanted and avoidable coupling. There is also another risk (not specific to this case), lets take example of except"
• PR #61833 (Add allowed_run_types to whitelist specific dag run types)
  • File: task-sdk/src/airflow/sdk/definitions/dag.py
  • "We should avoid using imports from airflow-core in task sdk going forward. It is best to use airflow.sdk.api.datamodels._generated as @jason810496 mentioned. > However the existing code in this file already imports DagRunType from airflow.utils.types Regarding this, we plan to get rid of it i"
