`scripts/run_tests.sh tests/<dir>/` is how a change gets its regression
coverage run, so a test filed under the wrong directory is a test nobody
runs when that code changes. Two kinds of drift had accumulated.
Parallel directories for one source package, folded into the mirror:
tests/acp -> tests/acp_adapter (its __init__/conftest move with it)
tests/cli -> tests/hermes_cli (prompt_toolkit fixture merged into
hermes_cli/conftest.py)
tests/run_agent -> tests/agent (backoff fixture becomes
agent/conftest.py)
tests/relay -> tests/gateway/relay
tests/state -> tests/hermes_state
246 loose files at tests/ root, routed by the package they import/patch:
hermes_cli, hermes_state, agent, gateway, tools, plugins, tui_gateway, cron.
Installer and desktop-update script tests go to tests/scripts/{install,
desktop_update}/. 43 tests of root-level modules (batch_runner, utils,
hermes_constants, packaging) stay at the root.
Filenames drop their issue numbers (95 files: test_89315_x.py -> test_x.py);
the number stays in the module docstring where it has context.
Collisions: test_cli_skin_integration.py existed in both tests/ and tests/cli
with different subsets — merged into one (10 tests, all kept);
run_agent/test_pre_compress_memory_context.py -> agent/..._handoff.py;
tests/test_account_usage.py -> agent/test_account_usage_fetch.py;
tests/test_web_server.py -> hermes_cli/test_web_server_ws_ping.py.
Deleted: test_minisweagent_path.py (empty since PR #2804),
test_model_picker_scroll.py (tested a private copy of the logic, imported
nothing), test_process_loop_event_loop_warning.py (asserted asyncio behaviour,
imported nothing from Hermes).
Repo-root path arithmetic (Path(__file__).parents[N], dirname chains) is
bumped for the 202 files that changed depth and verified by evaluating every
such expression against the new location. classify_changes' desktop-updater
lane prefix, tests-os.yml's ignore glob and every in-tree path comment follow
the moves. tests/test_tests_tree_layout.py keeps the tree from drifting back.
SessionDB could leave native SQLite handles open when construction failed
partway through schema/pragma/FTS/repair/lock/interrupt handling. Other
short-lived callers (MCP reads/polling, session search, reactions, trace
upload, insights, shutdown recovery) opened temporary SessionDB handles
without a complete ownership boundary. API-server profile caches and
RetainDB shutdown had similar late-close races. Under sustained load this
exhausted file descriptors (EMFILE).
- Close partially initialized SessionDB connections on every constructor
exception path via a finally block guarded by an initialization-complete
flag.
- Close temporary/cross-profile SessionDB handles in finally blocks across
CLI, MCP, search, trace, reactions, insights, and recovery paths.
- Add API-server per-profile cache ownership and disconnect cleanup.
- Make RetainDB writer-queue shutdown exception-safe: track connections per
thread, close on worker exit, reject new enqueues after shutdown starts,
and sweep any connections left by short-lived threads.
- Add regression coverage for constructor failures, worker-thread readers,
API disconnect failures, shutdown recovery, RetainDB late enqueue, and
foreign-loop async clients.
Salvage notes: the original PR's per-thread WAL-reader ownership changes
were superseded by main's read-connection pool (permits + checkout/return);
its cron timeout-abandon fix is credited separately to #72822's earlier
identical fix.
