P: Update AI Settings hangs indefinitely when invoked on a photo w a Sky mask and Generative Remove

[John R Ellis]

The Update AI Settings command hangs indefinitely when it is applied to a photo with a Sky mask to which Generative Remove has been copied/synced, and LR must be force quitted.

To reproduce on LR 13.

1. Download this tiny catalog, unzip it, and open it in LR:

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/x5xa41n0lv7dwc9z6f9rh/update-ai-settings-bug.2024.06.30.zip?rlkey=h0j... 

Observe that 1.jpg has a Generative Remove applied to it, and 2.jpg has a Sky mask.

2. In Library, select both photos, with 1.jpg most selected.

3. Do Sync Settings with just Remove selected.

4. Select 2.jpg and do Photo > Develop Settings > Update AI Settings.  Observe the Updating AI Settings progress window opens but hangs indefinitely:

Clicking Stop has no effect, and you have to Force Quit LR.

5. The same symptoms occur if you invoke the SDK's photo:updateAISettings() on the photo.
