Fix Redis cache set() so unpickleable celery/rich console-like values are skipped with a warning instead of crashing flows, while pickleable values still persist. Includes regression tests.

Submitted May 20, 2026
Implemented upstream PR https://github.com/langflow-ai/langflow/pull/13228. The fix drops the live custom_component runtime instance from Vertex.__getstate__ before graph cache serialization, preventing pickling of runtime-only component internals su...
