This might be a regression, the factor that makes the Processing operation look like is spinning forever is that there is no update_time change triggered in the current history for some reason.

Does it happen to all operations or just with tags?

[itisAliRH]

@davelopez It only happens on the Add tags and Remove tags operations because changing tags does not change the history update_time (for all histories).
I think we should do nothing after these operations like Build dataset pair operation etc.

History pulling is not getting the tag updates until searching or opening a collection.

[davelopez]

History pulling is not getting the tag updates until searching or opening a collection.

That is because of the same reason, if the history update_time doesn't change after the operation, the history watcher doesn't know it needs to get new updates. I'll investigate why it is not getting triggered now.

Should be fixed in #18068
