Description

Backport of #7441 to 8.4.


Note

Simplifies fork GC progress/heartbeat by removing per-step tracking, sending a single final heartbeat from the child, and synchronizing with a final terminator that the parent explicitly waits for.

  • Fork GC synchronization/IPC:
    • Child sends a single final heartbeat via RedisModule_SendChildHeartbeat(1.0) and then an extra FGC_sendTerminator(gc) after scanning.
    • Parent now waits for a final terminator (SIZE_MAX) using FGC_recvFixed; returns FGC_CHILD_ERROR on mismatch.
  • Progress tracking removal:
    • Remove gc->progress from ForkGC and delete FGC_reportProgress/FGC_setProgress.
    • Drop all intermediate progress/heartbeat calls during terms, numeric, tags, missing/existing docs scans.

send heartbeat once, and make the parent wait for it
