Three small changes around ReplaceIdentifiedBy, found while reviewing
the list(scan()) pattern used across the code base.

fix(entities): log the task failures

replace_identified_by catches every exception per field and stores it in
the returned dict, but the task is declared @shared_task(ignore_result=True)
— so Celery discards it. A failure left no trace beyond a stale entry in
/monitoring/timestamps: visible as something did not run, never why.

The exception is now logged with its traceback, following the pattern
already used for per-item failures in documents/tasks.py and
stats/tasks.py. A test covers the error path.

This is a prerequisite to ever setting enabled: True on the weekly
celery.replace-identified-by schedule.

docs(operation_logs) and docs(entities): two deliberate patterns

Both changes are comments only, no behaviour change. They record why
list(scan()) is intentional in these two places, which is not obvious
and was worth a fair amount of digging:

  • OperationLogsSearch.get_logs_by_record_pid — the caller rewrites each
    log while iterating, so the scroll is drained first.
  • ReplaceIdentifiedBy.run — the sort keeps the not_found report
    reproducible, and preserve_order is inseparable from it (the scan
    helper overwrites sort with _doc without it).

On the second one, dropping the sort was measured on a local ES 7.10.2
with an 8-shard index: about 1.5s saved on 300k documents, against a loop
that spends hours on MEF requests and reindexing. Not worth the change,
worth the comment.

The task result is discarded by Celery (`ignore_result`), so a failing
field left no trace beyond a stale entry in `/monitoring/timestamps`.

* log the exception with its traceback, as already done for per-item
  failures in the other Celery tasks
* cover the error path with a test

This is a prerequisite to enabling the weekly `replace-identified-by`
schedule, which would otherwise lose its errors.

The single caller rewrites each log while iterating, so draining the
scroll before processing is deliberate. Left unexplained, the `list()`
reads as a superfluous cast and invites removal.

Record why the scan is both sorted and materialized:

* the order keeps the `not_found` report reproducible, as it holds the
  access point of the first document seen for a given identifier
* `preserve_order` is inseparable from the sort, the scan helper
  overwrites `sort` with `_doc` without it
* the results are materialized because the loop writes to the scanned
  index

Measured on 300k documents, dropping the sort saves about 1.5s, against
a loop dominated by MEF requests and reindexing.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change adds traceback logging for exceptions in replace_identified_by and adds a test for its error payload and log output. It also documents scan ordering and result materialization in remote-entity replacement and operation-log retrieval code.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d7064

The change makes failed replacements visible in logs, but the added test does not confirm that traceback details are preserved, so a bounded observability regression could go unnoticed; the PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to strengthen the assertion.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Assert that the log record contains traceback information.

caplog.record_tuples checks only the logger name, level, and message. The test passes even if logger.exception is replaced with a log call that omits exc_info. Inspect the matching LogRecord and assert that record.exc_info contains the expected exception.

Proposed test assertion
-    assert caplog.record_tuples[-1] == ("invenio", 40, "replace_identified_by contribution")
+    record = next(
+        record for record in caplog.records
+        if record.getMessage() == "replace_identified_by contribution"
+    )
+    assert record.exc_info is not None
+    assert record.exc_info[0] is Exception
+    assert str(record.exc_info[1]) == "MEF server is down"

The PR objective requires this test to verify the full exception traceback, not only the log message.
