The archived-holder carve-out in _set_session_title lets the next Bot open
claim the "Bot Chat" title from an archived canonical row. That is correct
for a deliberate sidebar archive, but archive_stale_sessions (the opt-in
sessions.auto_archive sweep) could also archive an idle hidden Bot Chat with
end_reason NULL, which unarchive_recoverable_session refuses; the next Bot
click then stripped the old row's title, retiring the bot's whole history
on an idle timer with no way back.
Skip the hidden canonical Bot Chat in the sweep SELECT using the same
hidden + exact-title predicate set_session_pinned already uses to protect
it, so only an explicit archive retires a Bot Chat. Reword the bot-mode doc
so it no longer promises the retired (still hidden) chat is reachable from
the archive view.
Review finding: auto_archive sweep could irreversibly retire the canonical Bot Chat; docs over-promised archive-view reachability.
Construction-time maybe_auto_archive / maybe_auto_prune_and_vacuum ran
synchronously with no report_startup_progress lease. A multi-minute
VACUUM of a large state.db accrues near-zero CPU, so the startup
watchdog misread it as a parked deadlock and killed the attempt with
exit 75, live-locking gateway restarts. Renew the lease per long step
(prune, orphan sweep, VACUUM, archive) since leases clamp at 900 s,
plus one lease around the gateway maintenance block.
Fixes#111092
prune_sessions(), delete_empty_sessions() and prune_empty_ghost_sessions()
built one IN (?, ..., ?) clause containing every selected session id (the
parent-orphaning UPDATE), so cleaning more than SQLITE_MAX_VARIABLE_NUMBER
sessions failed atomically with "too many SQL variables". The per-row
DELETE loops that followed are folded into the same 900-id batches.
Same single _execute_write() transaction; only the binding is split.
Hand-ported from PR #100658 (targeted the pre-decomposition hermes_state.py
god file; the methods now live in hermes_state_maintenance.py /
hermes_state_sessions.py). The one-pass transcript-directory sweep from
that PR is not ported (out of scope for the variable-limit bug). Authored
by @Mi55ed; ported under --author.
A quarantined/replaced/split-generation handle must never run a full-file rewrite or an FTS5
'optimize': both read damaged or foreign pages and commit the result back, turning contained,
diagnosable corruption into an amplified one. Same guard _execute_write applies to every write.
Salvaged from #102092 onto current main: the _try_wal_checkpoint half landed via #106315's
_quarantine_reason(), so only the two rewrite sites remain.
Follow-up to #106315. vacuum() ran PRAGMA wal_checkpoint + VACUUM + wal_checkpoint(TRUNCATE) on
self._conn with no quarantine check; the only guard it inherited (optimize_fts raising
DeletedWalGenerationError) was swallowed by its own try/except and the rewrite proceeded on the
split-brain handle. Mutation on main: vacuum() returned 2 and rewrote pages after the write stop.
hermes_state.py: delete every '# noqa: F401 (re-exported...)' import block (hermes_state_common/errors/guard/
readpool/sessions/fts/dbfile/wal/repair/registry + agent.context_compressor _DB_PERSISTED_MARKER_KEY); keep
only the names hermes_state.py itself uses, without noqa.
hermes_state_registry.py: drop get_shared_session_db/release_shared_session_db/close_shared_session_dbs
aliases; every caller (gateway/, tools/, tui_gateway/, cron/, mcp_serve, run_agent, tests) now imports
acquire/release/close_all/release_or_close from hermes_state_registry.
hermes_state_titles.py: drop set_auto_title_if_empty shim (title_generator keeps its getattr fallback).
Re-remove shim-only names restored by 34abf954bd: latest_user_message_row_id (tests call
latest_message_row_id(key, role='user'); role-targeting assertions kept) and get_session_activity (tests
build the snapshot via agent.session_activity.build_activity_snapshot over db.get_session(sid)).
hermes_state_wal._log_once resolves its dedupe sets as module globals instead of via hermes_state;
hermes_state_repair helpers call module globals directly (tests patch hermes_state_repair.<name>).
Frozen updater surface untouched (update_cmd_maint imports only SessionDB from hermes_state).
For each issue anchor present in BASE 63279301bc non-test .py and absent on HEAD, the BASE comment/docstring block was re-attached at the HEAD location of the code it explained (matched by the distinctive code line / enclosing def). Sentences already covered by an existing HEAD comment were deduped; the issue number always survives. Insert-only: no code lines changed.
hermes_state_maintenance.py 557->418, hermes_state_dbfile.py 545->404.
- _placeholders() replaces 4 inline ','.join('?'...) builders (identical output)
- _write_guards_reject() unifies the lease/lock probe in sweep_orphaned_sessions
and prune_sessions (same kwargs, same exception set; prune keeps set -= order)
- _page_pragmas() absorbs the try/except-debug shape of logical_size_bytes and
_freelist_ratio (log texts unchanged); _try_checkpoint() for the two WAL
checkpoints in vacuum(); _seconds_since() for the two state_meta float parses
- archived tri-state -> f'string' clause (byte-identical SQL)
- dbfile: contextlib.suppress for pass-only excepts, lock closures collapsed,
unreachable size<0 branch dropped, is_zeroed tail folded to one predicate
- docstrings/comments compacted by hand; every WHY/lock-safety invariant kept
SQL PARITY OK (1120 stmts), MSG PARITY OK, import smoke OK.
