…lier croniter steps back on naive wall-clock time, but make_aware can map a tick inside a DST transition forward onto the current instant or later. _get_prev then returned a "previous" tick that was not strictly earlier, so a manual run got a zero-length data interval on spring-forward, or one ending after run_after on fall-back. A zero-length interval also trips the point-in-time guard in next_dagrun_info and silently skips a scheduled period.

Why
On the two days a year the clocks change, a manually triggered run can get a data interval that is zero length, or that ends after the run time.
With
CronDataIntervalTimetable("0 2 * * *", timezone="America/New_York"), a manual run at2024-03-10 07:30Z:croniter steps back on naive wall-clock time, but
make_awaremoves a tick that falls in the spring-forward gap onto the next real instant. When the previous tick is in the gap it lands on the current time, so_get_prevreturns the time it was asked about.That zero-length interval then costs a run.
next_dagrun_inforeads it as a point-in-time run and skips a period (#66132, correct for the case it was written for):The fall-back side overshoots instead. With
0 1 * * *inAmerica/New_Yorkat2024-11-03 05:30Z,_get_prevreturns06:00Z— half an hour in the future — soCronTriggerTimetablewithrun_immediately=Truefires a tick that has not happened yet.Also reproduces in
Europe/Zurich,Australia/SydneyandAustralia/Lord_Howe.What
_get_prevnow keeps steppingcron.get_prevuntil the result is strictly earlier than the time asked about.get_previs strictly decreasing on naive time, so it terminates.The
_covers_every_hourbranch is untouched — it uses a wall-clock delta rather thanmake_aware, so it cannot hit this.Only values that were already wrong change. Nothing outside a DST transition window is affected.
Testing
Three regression tests, all failing before and passing after:
