TriggerDagRunOperator not working as expected in defer with wait_for_completion

[raphaelauv]

Apache Airflow version

2.8.3

If "Other Airflow 2 version" selected, which one?

What happened?

using the triggerdagrunoperator with wait_for_completion and deferrable show multiple bugs

for long running dags the triggerdagrunoperator sometimes never finish ( do not detect the end success or fail of triggered dag )

also the triggerdagrunoperator with reset_dag_run never finish if you clear it after a first run

What you think should happen instead?

No response

How to reproduce

triggerdagrunoperator with reset_dag_run never finish if you clear it after a first run

->

from airflow.operators.python import PythonOperator
from airflow.operators.trigger_dagrun import TriggerDagRunOperator
from pendulum import today
from airflow import DAG

dag_1 = DAG(
    dag_id="dag_1",
    schedule_interval=None,
    start_date=today("UTC").add(days=-1)
)

with dag_1:
    def toto():
        import time
        time.sleep(20)
        raise Exception()


    PythonOperator(
        task_id="task_2",
        python_callable=toto)

dag_2 = DAG(
    dag_id="dag_2",
    schedule_interval=None,
    start_date=today("UTC").add(days=-1)
)

with dag_2:
    TriggerDagRunOperator(
        task_id="task_1",
        trigger_dag_id="dag_1",
        reset_dag_run=True,
        wait_for_completion=True,
        poke_interval=5,
        deferrable=True,
        trigger_run_id="NAME_C"
    )

trigger the dag_1 wait for end ( it will fail , that's normal ) , clear the task task_1 and the task will stay forever in deferred state
