@Subham-KRLX that DetachedInstanceError is happening only in airflow testing environment, and has no influence on production running code, as far as I can tell (probably caused by forking we do in the OL provider and tests not being suited for that). Thanks for fixing that |

This PR resolves a high priority regression where the OpenLineage listener crashes with a DetachedInstanceError during on_dag_run_success or on_dag_run_failed events.
The Problem: In Airflow 3.2+ the DagRun model added a note association proxy the OpenLineage DagRunInfo class attempts to access this attribute during event serialization. Since the listener often processes DagRun instances that are detached from a SQLAlchemy session this access triggers a lazy-load that fails and crashes the listener, blocking system tests (e.g., BigQuery).
The Fix: Introduced a safe_getattr utility in the OpenLineage provider that catches DetachedInstanceError and returns None as a fallback. Applied this to both note and deadlines fields in DagRunInfo to ensure the listener remains stable even when working with detached objects.
