Open WebUI fixes startup crash from stale redis_sentinels reference

A one-line fix in Open WebUI resolves a NameError that crashed the server at startup when the renamed redis_sentinels variable was still referenced in session_cleanup_lock.
Open WebUI shipped a fix [1] for a startup crash caused by a stale variable reference. The variable was renamed to ws_sentinels, but session_cleanup_lock still referenced the old name redis_sentinels. This triggered a NameError that crashed the server at startup. The fix corrects the reference, so servers that previously failed to boot under this condition will now start successfully.
A second commit [2] titled "refac" landed with no description. It offers no concrete explanation of what changed or why, so treat it as a routine maintenance update until more details are available [2].
Action items
- → Update open-webui to the latest commit to avoid the startup crash if you run a version with the renamed variable open-webui/open-webui [immediate]
- → Watch the repository for details on the unnamed 'refac' commit before relying on it open-webui/open-webui [monitor]
