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).
The #14694 recovery clock (`_anti_thrash_recovery_deadline`) was a
process-local `time.monotonic()` value zeroed in `bind_session_state()`.
The gateway rebuilds the AIAgent (and its ContextCompressor) on every
cache eviction, so each fresh compressor bound to a durably tripped
session row (#69872) re-armed a full 300s window and the half-open probe
never fired — a long messaging conversation above the threshold stayed
blocked permanently.
Persist the deadline as a wall-clock epoch in a new
`sessions.compression_recovery_deadline REAL` column (declarative column
reconciliation; SCHEMA_VERSION 26 -> 27) with
`SessionDB.get/set_compression_recovery_deadline`. The compressor loads it
in `bind_session_state()` and writes it on change only via
`_set_anti_thrash_recovery_deadline()`. A fresh compressor with no stored
deadline still starts a full window blocked (#54923 restart contract); one
that loads an armed deadline resumes that window. Backward clock jumps are
bounded to one window. The 300s window is unchanged.
Minimal salvage of #100185 (the probe-lease/fencing state machine and
model_config-blob storage were not carried).
