From a15f96450b73fb916ed731fcbe41a8a6dde12cdf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: sal Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 22:56:46 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] fix(recovery): make the printed salvage command satisfy the real CLI contract MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Review blocker on e62940d: every state-db guidance site printed hermes sessions recover --source but cmd_sessions rejects that shape with exit 2 ("--output is required unless --inspect-only is used") before any snapshot is taken — the user follows the instruction during a corruption incident and gets nothing. All five state-db sites now print the established two-stage operator contract (the same shape `sessions repair` failure output and docs/state-db-recovery.md already use): hermes sessions recover --source --inspect-only hermes sessions recover --source --output recovered-state.db with the stop-the-gateway precondition stated for the gateway/turn banners, and --inspect-only leading in the hermes_state refusal strings (inspection before writing anything). New TestEmittedCommandsSatisfyCliContract dispatches the exact emitted flag shapes through the real cmd_sessions and asserts they pass the contract gate (rc != 2) on a scratch DB, plus a premise test pinning that the v1 no-flag shape is still rejected with rc 2 — so a guidance string can never again pass a source-substring test while the command it prints deterministically fails. Noted for merge order: #101423 and #101168 also touch hermes_cli/session_recovery.py. They are complementary recovery-integrity work, not duplicates of this guidance/gate fix; whichever lands second should rebase and rerun the lost_and_found + session-recovery suites.
