Salvage of #48637 (Fixes#48628). On a NixOS-style install the venv's
site-packages lives in the read-only store, so ensure()'s
uv -> pip -> ensurepip ladder spends ~15s bootstrapping ensurepip only
to fail against a target it can never write. Fail fast with an
actionable message pointing at the system package manager.
Retargeted onto current main (the PR's base predates the durable-target
subsystem by ~8.1K commits) with two corrections to the original:
- Gate on _lazy_install_target() is None. The container deployment sets
HERMES_MANAGED=true AND HERMES_LAZY_INSTALL_TARGET (a writable
volume); the original guard would have blocked installs that path
legitimately satisfies, breaking the NixOS-container mode.
- Reason string starts with 'unsupported ' because
refresh_active_features classifies FeatureUnavailable by that prefix;
the original wording made 'hermes update' report a hard failure
instead of a skip.
Placed after _unsupported_feature_reason so a platform-specific reason
(more actionable) wins, and so ensure() agrees with
refresh_active_features, which pre-checks that same function.
Extracted from #54314 (@flag0x369), re-derived onto current main: macOS
ships bash 3.2 as /bin/bash, which lacks $BASHPID entirely — the
variable expands to empty string, collapsing every concurrent writer's
'unique' temp path onto the same file (torn snapshot writes under
concurrency). mktemp allocates per-writer unique paths portably.
Live-verified: /bin/bash -c 'echo $BASHPID' prints empty on this box.
The workdir allowlist regex was ASCII-only, so perfectly normal
non-ASCII workdirs (Chinese Obsidian vault paths, accented dirnames)
were rejected with 'disallowed character'. Replace the regex with a
per-character check that accepts Unicode letters/digits (str.isalnum)
plus the same safe ASCII punctuation set, while still rejecting shell
metacharacters, control characters (newlines/tabs), and NUL.

Recalled session messages can carry raw ANSI escape sequences (e.g.
archived terminal output), which then re-enter the model's context.
Strip them in _shape_message before content is truncated/returned,
reusing tools.ansi_strip.strip_ansi.
Re-applied onto current main (the original hunk predates the
max_content_len truncation in _shape_message; stripping happens on the
raw content before truncation so escape bytes never count against the
budget). Extracted from #40276.
The picker path fetches the Copilot /models catalog multiple times per
process (list_authenticated_providers -> provider_model_ids ->
_fetch_github_models, plus get_copilot_model_context / normalize
helpers). Cache the filtered catalog at module level with a short TTL
so repeated picker opens do not pay a TLS handshake each time.
Fold-fixes on top of the original patch:
- key the cache by api_key so a mid-process credential swap never
serves the previous account's catalog
- use time.monotonic() so wall-clock adjustments cannot extend the TTL
- deep-copy on store/serve so callers cannot mutate cached entries
- tests updated to patch _urlopen_model_catalog_request (main routes
catalog fetches through open_credentialed_url now), plus TTL-expiry
and credential-change coverage
Extracted from #40276.
Salvage of #69926: omit_messages support ported from the PR's
tui_gateway/server.py base onto the post-split methods_session.py
layout. When a Desktop client passes omit_messages=true on
session.resume / session.activate, the RPC returns messages: [] with
messages_omitted: true and an accurate message_count, skipping the
potentially multi-megabyte compression-lineage serialization over the
WebSocket; Desktop hydrates the transcript via the authenticated REST
route in parallel.
The PR's bundled cron-outputs endpoint and codex quiet-timeout bump
were dropped from this salvage as unrelated (invited back separately).
mark_job_run popped a finite one-shot from jobs.json the moment its
repeat limit was reached and returned early — discarding the
last_status / last_error / last_delivery_error it had just written.
Every finished one-shot vanished from `cronjob action=list` with no
inspectable record, and a delivery failure (agent succeeded, platform
send failed) was silently thrown away with it.
Changes:
- mark_job_run now retires a limit-reached one-shot as a terminal
record (state="completed", enabled=False, next_run_at=None) —
mirroring the existing next_run_at-is-None terminal branch — so the
final status and any delivery error persist and surface in the
cronjob tool's list output (which already emits last_delivery_error
and defaults to include_disabled=True).
- claim_dispatch's stale-job cleanup marks already-ran jobs completed
instead of popping them; genuinely wedged claims (last_run_at never
written) are still removed with the operator-visible diagnostic.
- Retention sweep in the due scan prunes completed one-shot records
older than cron.completed_retention_days (default 7; non-positive
disables) so jobs.json cannot grow unboundedly. Recurring jobs and
non-terminal one-shots are never candidates.
Tests: completion retains record + delivery error, list surfaces it,
completed jobs never re-dispatch, sweep prunes old / keeps recent /
ignores recurring / honors the disable knob; recurring lifecycle
unchanged.
A raw newline in the _CMDPOS start-position class made ANY multi-line
quoted argument look like a command boundary, so hermes send message
bodies, multi-line git commit -m messages, and heredoc text that merely
mentioned dangerous command names tripped the unconditional hardline
blocklist and could not run at all.
Mask newlines inside single/double quotes (detection-only, mirroring the
quote tracking in _iter_shell_command_starts) before building detection
variants. Real threats keep blocking: unquoted newlines stay command
separators, command substitutions inside quotes still anchor, and
_mark_command_starts still re-inserts newlines at genuine quote-aware
command starts. Masking runs on the RAW command before normalization,
which strips escapes and would otherwise corrupt quote state.
Regression tests cover both directions: multi-line quoted data passes
(hermes send, git commit -m, heredocs); bare/chained/substituted
shutdown-class and rm-floor commands still block.
The top-level delegate_task description repeated content the model already
receives through parameter descriptions: the concurrency limit (tasks param),
the full nesting clause (role param), context-passing guidance (goal/context
params), and background semantics (background param). Every API call paid for
the duplication (~4,000 chars).
The description now carries only what exists nowhere else in the schema:
use/don't-use routing (execute_code, cronjob), the no-poll rule, the
non-durability warning, the self-report verification contract with concrete
verbs, the language-passing example, the leaf blocked-tool list, and model
inheritance. 3,963 -> 1,704 chars (~570 tokens saved per API call), and the
top-level text is now static (dynamic limits flow only through the two param
descriptions, which are already rebuilt per get_definitions() call).
A/B benchmark across 4 models (gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini, claude-haiku-4.5,
llama-3.3-70b) showed the naive compaction in PR #72813 regressed weaker
models on exactly the passages it cut (side-effect verification 8/8->0/8 on
gpt-4o-mini; language passing 3/3->0/3 on haiku-4.5). This version keeps
those benchmark-sensitive hooks verbatim.
Tests pin the contracts at keyword level (not prose-literal) plus a size
ceiling, and verify dynamic limits still reach the model via the tasks/role
param descriptions.
Refs #72737, supersedes the delegate_task half of PR #72813.
Two consumer tests assumed a send completes synchronously within the
handler turn: the continuation-drain test polled on handler-call count
then immediately asserted on adapter.sent, and the split-brain heal
test drained with bare zero-delay yields. With ledger calls hopping to
worker threads around each send, the reply can land microseconds after
those checks. Poll for the actual sends with a bounded 2s window —
same invariants, scheduling-robust.
CI slices failed the offload tests with 0.5s witness timeouts: on a
loaded shared runner the event loop thread can take >0.5s to get
scheduled even when NOT blocked, making the probe report a false
positive. A genuinely blocked loop can never set the progress event at
any timeout (the witness coroutine can't run at all), so 5s only
absorbs scheduler flake without weakening the invariant. Mutation
re-verified: reverting the offload still fails all 4 tests.
The sweep-path test parametrizes over _runner/_adapter, which live on
TestGatewayRedeliverySweep; main later added
TestUnconnectedPlatformKeepsItsBudget at the cherry-pick anchor point and
the test landed in that class, where the helpers don't exist
(AttributeError x2). Placement-only move.
The original PR #77274 used positional slicing (current_history[len(history):])
to detect the model-switch-only mutation. But _append_model_switch_marker
strips prior markers in-place before appending the new one, so when a prior
marker existed (every switch after the first in a session), the net length
delta is zero and the slice produces an empty list — the merge path is dead
code for the common case.
Replace with a content-based diff: strip markers from both the turn-start
snapshot and the current history, then check that the non-marker content is
identical. This correctly handles the strip-and-replace behavior.
Also guard against auto-compression making result["messages"] shorter than
the turn-start history — use the full result as the base when that happens.
Added test covering both no-prior-marker and prior-marker cases.
The universal sync fallback in stream_tts_to_speaker ran strictly serially
per sentence — synthesize, play, and only then start synthesizing the next
sentence — so every sentence boundary added a full synthesis-time of dead
air. Chunked streamers (elevenlabs/openai/gemini/xai) already avoid this;
every other provider (edge, piper, plugin providers) paid it on each reply
in voice mode and the wake-word loop.
_SyncSentencePipeline overlaps the two: one single-threaded synthesis
worker (sentences stay FIFO; providers never see concurrent calls from
this loop — same effective concurrency as before) feeds one playback
worker through a small bounded queue, so sentence n+1 synthesizes while
sentence n plays. Lookahead is bounded (backpressure + at most a couple of
temp files), stop_event short-circuits both stages, synthesis failures are
isolated per sentence, temp files are always unlinked, and the finally
block flushes the pipeline BEFORE tts_done_event fires so continuous voice
mode never reopens the mic over its own voice. synthesize/play are
resolved late so existing monkeypatch-based tests work unchanged.
Measured with a real local model provider (OmniVoice plugin, Apple
Silicon), same 3-sentence reply, playback simulated at the produced clips'
true durations, best-of-2 interleaved runs under identical load:
serial pipelined
time to first word 10.8s 4.4s
mid-reply dead air 11.2s 1.8s (second gap: 0.03s)
full reply wall 33.2s 17.0s
Tests: 4 new (timestamp-proven overlap, order + per-sentence failure
isolation, stop skips queued playback, temp-file hygiene); the existing
sync-fallback and display-callback tests pass unchanged.

Wrap the masked-link destination in angle brackets so Discord does not
unfurl an OG-preview embed under every tool progress bubble. quote()
percent-encodes any <> inside the URL itself, so the wrapper cannot be
broken out of.
The gateway lifecycle guard (cron/lifecycle_guard.py) applied shell-style
tokenization and script-reference resolution to non-shell content, with two
regressions:
#77131 - every .py cron script using pathlib division was hard-blocked:
Path.home() / ".hermes" / ".env" tokenizes the bare "/" operator as an
executable path, which resolves to the filesystem root; the regular-file
check then fails closed as unsafe. Since Python runs under the
interpreter, never through a POSIX shell, the shell-script reference walk
is a false-positive generator on Python sources. check_gateway_lifecycle
now skips the walk for *.py scripts (the direct command regex still scans
the full text), and _iter_referenced_shell_scripts skips pure-separator
tokens.
#76762 - terminal commands invoking a binary by absolute path (e.g.
/usr/bin/python3) crashed the guard with ValueError: embedded null byte:
the walk read the binary's bytes, decoded them as text, and re-tokenized
machine code; the recursion then hit Path.resolve() on a NUL-bearing
path while only OSError was caught. _read_referenced_script now skips
NUL-containing files (binaries are not referenced shell scripts) and
resolve() tolerates ValueError.
Shell scripts (.sh/.bash/.zsh) keep the full deep scan; literal lifecycle
commands in .py scripts are still blocked by the direct regex. New tests
cover all four behaviors.
The account was written under the new pickle key before sessions were
re-pickled. The account is effectively the migration's commit marker —
once it reads under the current key, the fast path short-circuits every
later startup — so a sweep that errored or was interrupted left the
remaining legacy-key sessions stranded permanently with no retry.
Sweep first, commit the account last, and return False on sweep failure
so the migration is retried on the next start.
Also corrects the unreadable-row log: it claimed rows were being dropped
while no DELETE was ever issued. Such rows are left in place (already
unusable; deleting crypto material on a guess is not worth it) and the
message now says so.
Adds session-sweep coverage, which was previously absent: rows rewritten
under the current key, rows already current left alone, unreadable rows
left in place, and a failed sweep that leaves the account uncommitted.
The existing migration test now fakes the olm C-extension so the suite
no longer requires libolm.

The Olm account pickle key is derived from the account ID plus the
configured device ID (acct:device_id). If the crypto store's account was
created before MATRIX_DEVICE_ID was set — e.g. the very first password
login, where the device ID is only known after connecting — it gets
pickled under "<acct>:default". Setting MATRIX_DEVICE_ID afterwards (a
reasonable thing to do once you know the device ID you want to pin)
changes the derived pickle key, and every subsequent unpickle attempt
fails with BAD_ACCOUNT_KEY. In optional-E2EE mode that failure is
swallowed and encryption silently stays disabled instead of surfacing an
actionable error.
_migrate_legacy_crypto_pickle() detects the BAD_ACCOUNT_KEY failure,
tries the known legacy pickle keys, and re-pickles the account (plus
every stored olm/megolm session — sessions share the same pickle key, so
migrating only the account would leave them unreadable on the next
decrypt and silently break key sharing with peers) under the current
key. It only reports failure when no known key can unpickle the
account, with a log message pointing at what changed.

connect() resolved client.device_id as `self._device_id or resolved_device_id`,
so a configured MATRIX_DEVICE_ID masked the live whoami() device. With
persisted A, configured A and a rotated token reporting B, the reset
compared A to A and never fired — exactly the token-rotation case this PR
claims to handle.
An access token is bound to one device and the homeserver only accepts key
uploads for that device, so a configured value naming a different one
cannot work. The live whoami() device now wins on conflict and logs an
error naming both. The configured value is still preferred when whoami()
reports no device.
Adds a connect()-level regression for persisted A + configured A +
whoami B, and corrects test_connect_uses_configured_device_id_over_whoami,
whose stated premise this inverts.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The crypto store is keyed by Matrix user ID, not device ID, so swapping in
a new access token (which mints a new device_id) silently inherits the
previous device's Olm account. That account's identity keys can never be
published under the new device ID, and the pickle key embeds the old
device ID anyway — the result is stale-key mismatches and cross-signing
signatures the homeserver refuses to replace, degrading E2EE in ways that
are hard to diagnose (peers silently withhold room keys).
_reset_crypto_store_if_device_changed() compares the store's persisted
device ID against the live one at connect time and wipes the store on
mismatch, so a fresh Olm account is generated for the new device instead
of reusing stale key material.

Post-tool compression path passed context_compressor.last_prompt_tokens (0 in the no-usage
fallback) to _compress_context instead of the overhead-aware _real_tokens computed just above
— same tool-blind bug as the overflow handlers (upstream PR #77169 review, teknium1). Also adds
production-path regression tests asserting the 413, context-overflow (two wordings), and
Anthropic long-context recovery handlers pass estimate_request_tokens_rough(..., tools=...)
(sentinel-patched) to _compress_context.

The drain reserves a slice of the shutdown budget so flush_all_sessions
still runs when in-flight turns outlast the window. But that flush was
unconditional: a session whose turn was still running got its one-shot
_finalize_session spent mid-turn, and the executor.shutdown(wait=False,
cancel_futures=True) immediately after does not join the turn. The
session was then permanently un-finalizable and its active-session lease
had been released out from under live work — the same persistence and
lifecycle race the drain exists to close, just relocated past the
deadline instead of removed.
Give _turn_futures a session association (Future -> sid, the same key
space as server._sessions) at both submit sites, and on deadline expiry
exclude the sids whose futures are still running from the flush. Those
sessions are retained unfinalized and therefore recoverable; sessions
with no live turn finalize exactly as before. The done-callback now pops
under the lock, since a bare dict.pop is not the drop-in set.discard was.
wait semantics, the reserve math and the bounded per-tick sleep are
unchanged, so this adds no shutdown latency. All three shutdown callers
(orphan, sigterm, and the tight stdin_closed wait=2.0 path) funnel
through this one function and are covered.
The drain loop slept a flat 0.05s per tick, so it could overshoot its deadline
by up to one tick and spend part of the reserve withheld for
flush_all_sessions(). For a small `wait` the reserve is itself half the budget,
so a single overshoot can consume all of it: at wait=0.34 the drain budget is
0.17s but the loop requested 4 x 0.05 = 0.20s of sleep.
Clamp each tick to the remaining time. The new test asserts on the summed
*requested* sleep rather than wall-clock, which is deterministic: every sleep is
bounded by the strictly-decreasing remainder, so the total can never exceed the
drain budget regardless of how the scheduler interleaves.
ComputeHost.shutdown() called flush_all_sessions() before its own in-flight
turn drain loop. server._finalize_session latches on session["_finalized"]
and every later call returns immediately, so that one flush was spent while
turns were still producing output: the unflushed tail was never persisted,
commit_memory_session wrote long-term memory from a truncated transcript, the
session's DB row was marked ended while it was live, on_session_end fired with
completed=False/interrupted=True against a running session, and the
active-session lease was released out from under a turn. The drain loop exists
precisely so that mid-turn work survives a teardown; finalizing first defeated
it. Reachable from all three teardown paths: the parent/orphan guard (which
os._exit(0)s immediately after), the SIGTERM/SIGINT handler, and stdin close.
Drain first, then flush. A slice of the caller's budget (_FLUSH_RESERVE_SECS,
never more than half of it so a short explicit wait still gets a real drain) is
withheld from the drain so the flush still runs when turns outlast the window:
HostSupervisor SIGKILLs the host _SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_SECS after SIGTERM — 10.0s,
the same value as shutdown()'s default wait — so a drain allowed to consume the
whole budget would leave the durability write racing that kill. `wait` itself is
unchanged, so total shutdown latency and the SIGTERM->SIGKILL margin are
unchanged.
strip_think_blocks passed the same response-scrubbing strings through
re's pattern dispatcher on every response. Skills Guard repeated the
same work for 121 patterns against every scanned line.
Compile the existing expressions once and reuse Pattern.sub/search. Keep
each generic tool-call tag in its own paired expression so mismatched
openers retain their payload while existing stray-closer cleanup remains
unchanged.

Deferred model switches append a marker and bump history_version at
turn start; the dispatcher was snapshotting history before that
mutation, so the version-mismatch guard rejected the turn's own
result as a stale/concurrent write. Move the snapshot to after
_apply_pending_model_switch/_sync_agent_model_with_config, under
history_lock, so the turn's own preparatory mutation is included in
its baseline while the anti-stale guard still catches real external
writes.

A session's YOLO bypass lived only in the in-memory
tools.approval._session_yolo set (or the process-frozen --yolo env
var), so resuming a session in a fresh process silently reverted the
user's /yolo ON — dangerous commands started prompting again.
Persist a yolo_mode flag in the session row's model_config JSON and
restore it on every CLI resume path:
- SessionDB.set_session_yolo() merges the flag into model_config
(same lineage-preserving merge as update_session_runtime_lock);
SessionDB.session_yolo_enabled() reads it back, false on any parse
failure.
- /yolo toggle persists ON and OFF through the new helper; the
compression/branch session-id rotation carries the flag onto the
continuation row.
- --yolo launches record the flag at session creation (agent_init),
and a /yolo toggled before the lazily-created row exists is carried
into the creation-time model_config (_ensure_db_session).
- HermesCLI._restore_session_yolo() re-enables the bypass on startup
--resume/-c, the deferred init path, and mid-chat /resume, with a
visible '⚡ YOLO mode restored from session' notice. No-op under a
frozen process-wide --yolo and never enables on absent/garbage flags.
When an approval prompt expired without a response, every CLI-side path
collapsed the timeout into the same 'deny' choice as an explicit user
refusal, so the agent was told the user denied the action when the user
simply never answered. The gateway wait already distinguished the two
('timed out without user response... Silence is not consent.'); this
brings the CLI/TUI/ACP surfaces to parity.
- prompt_dangerous_approval(): input()-path expiry now returns a distinct
'timeout' choice (still fail-closed).
- cli.py _approval_callback + hermes_cli/callbacks.py approval_callback:
deadline expiry returns 'timeout' instead of 'deny'.
- check_all_command_guards / _run_approval_gate CLI tails: 'timeout' maps
to outcome='timeout' with a 'timed out without user response... Silence
is not consent.' BLOCKED message (matching the gateway wording);
explicit deny keeps outcome='denied' and gains user_consent=False for
shape parity.
- computer_use: 'timeout' verdict threads through the CLI adapter and
yields a 'prompt timed out — the user did not respond' error instead of
'denied by user'.
- ACP permissions bridge: FutureTimeout returns 'timeout' (other failures
still 'deny'); elicitation maps 'timeout' to 'cancel' like the gateway's
unresolved outcome; codex wire mapping documents deny/timeout→decline.
- write_approval already treats unknown choices as 'stage, not drop', so
a timeout now stages the memory write instead of silently refusing it.
Every timeout path remains fail-closed — the action never runs; only the
classification reported to the agent changes.
Follow-up for the salvaged #29239: regression test drives the real
gateway _reload_runtime_env_preserving_config_authority() path with a
stale .env TERMINAL_ENV=docker vs config.yaml terminal.backend=local,
and the hermes debug dump test that pinned the old stale-env-wins
symptom now pins the fixed contract (config wins, override line kept
as defense-in-depth for post-load env mutation).
A leftover TERMINAL_ENV in ~/.hermes/.env (written by `hermes setup` or
shell exports) was silently overriding terminal.backend in config.yaml,
so users switching from docker to local saw `hermes config show` agree
with their change while the gateway / cron / batch_runner still ran
against the old backend.
load_hermes_dotenv now re-applies config.yaml's terminal.* values on top
of whatever the .env files set, so the documented source of truth wins
for every entrypoint that goes through the loader.

Live-run findings from a real fact-checking task (ankylosing spondylitis
genetics, 7 authoritative sources) against the new mode:
- Verbatim check rejected a legitimate quote because web_extract returns
markdown: the MedlinePlus sentence is "including _[ERAP1](https://...)_,
_[IL1A](...)_" on the wire but plain prose to a reader. The agent was
forced onto a weaker evidence fragment — the opposite of the point.
Matching now canonicalizes inline links to their label and drops
emphasis/code markers and backslash escapes on both sides, so quoting
the sentence a reader sees works. Paraphrases are still rejected.
- Escaped asterisks (HLA-B\*27) no longer have to be reproduced in the
quote, so extractor artifacts stop leaking into rendered evidence.
- New `render --replace-in <draft>`: rewrites a draft's Sources block in
place, idempotently. Previously the only path was hand-slicing the
file, which also tripped over the emitted heading being `## Sources`
while the prose said "Sources:".
- verify stats: report the provenance total that the percentage is
actually computed from (cited + [unverified], counted once), and print
the line as `info:` instead of `warn:` when nothing is wrong. The old
line printed 17 cited / 2 unverified next to 72%, which does not
reconcile — a sentence can be both.
- SKILL.md documents the emitted heading, --replace-in, and exactly what
counts as a prose sentence for --min-coverage.
7 new tests (47 total) using the real MedlinePlus/Frontiers markup;
6 sabotage runs, all red.
Extends the citation ledger with evidence-backed fact-checking:
- New `quote` subcommand attaches verbatim supporting quotes to a
source; the quote is rejected unless it appears verbatim
(whitespace/case-insensitive) in the fetched page text, so a
paraphrase or misremembered figure cannot masquerade as evidence.
- `verify --evidence` fails a draft whose cited sources carry no
attached quote.
- `render --style evidence` prints each source's quotes beneath its
URL, showing the claim -> source -> exact-text chain.
- `[unverified]` marker declares model-knowledge claims; counts toward
--min-coverage so provenance is declared for every sentence without
forcing fake citations.
- SKILL.md: new Fact-Checking Mode section + pitfalls; version 1.1.0.
- 10 new tests (40 total), all proven live by sabotage runs.
Covers the fact-checking/evidence-transparency half of #28289.
- tests/agent/test_session_activity.py asserts against
ACTIVITY_DESCRIPTION_MAX instead of the literal 120.
- The session-stall WARNING log line names its config knob
(agent.session_stall_timeout) so operators can find the setting.
- hermes_state.py: collapse the triple blank line near line 191.
- hermes_cli/status.py no longer imports the private
hermes_cli.main._relative_time: the helper moved to a public home
(hermes_cli.timefmt.relative_time); main._relative_time stays as a
thin back-compat wrapper (sessions_cmd and external patchers keep
working).
test_progress_extends_idle_budget_until_success raced wall-clock: the
0.1s-idle/0.04s-tick shape left ~60ms of slack per tick, so one slow
scheduler pass on a loaded CI box lapsed the idle budget mid-loop.
Widened to 0.5s idle / 0.1s ticks (5x per-tick margin, total runtime
still <1s) per the FLAKY policy's minimum-margin guidance.
The fail-fast admission path (bounded compress pool, F6) only logged a
WARNING; in the compression-attempt telemetry stream a wedged pool
looked like compression simply stopped being attempted. Emit the
existing attempt telemetry with failure_class='pool_saturated'
(commit_status=aborted, split_status=aborted) on refusal, following
_emit_compression_attempt_telemetry's existing call shape. Regression
extends the F6 saturation test (sabotage-verified).
The compression heartbeat's terminal 'context compression completed'
stamp force-persists against the PARENT session id (agent.session_id at
stamp time). After the out-of-place rotation the parent is archived but
kept advertising a fresh last_activity_at + terminal label forever.
Clear the parent row's activity labels best-effort after a committed
rotation (keeps last_activity_at so idle clocks stay continuous; the
child carries live labels). Regression asserts the archived parent's
labels are cleared while the child's lineage is intact
(sabotage-verified).
A wedged adapter transport (network hang, dead websocket) previously
blocked _check_session_stalls forever: sibling candidates in the same
pass were never evaluated and the watcher stopped ticking. Wrap the
send in asyncio.wait_for (15s); on timeout log a WARNING and do NOT
latch, so the next tick retries. Regression uses a never-resolving fake
adapter and proves the pass completes, a healthy sibling candidate is
still notified in the same pass, and the watcher ticks again
(sabotage-verified against the unbounded send).
revoke_commit_admission() used to invoke the holder-qualified lease
release unconditionally — including while an admitted commit was still
mutating SessionDB — letting a second compressor acquire the durable
lock mid-commit and interleave with the first commit's writes.
The admission_revoked flag store stays lock-free, but the lease-release
decision now coordinates with the fence lock:
- revoke acquires the fence lock non-blocking; on success no commit can
be in flight (an admitted commit retains the lock until finish_commit)
and the release runs immediately, still under the lock so a racing
begin_commit cannot slip between the check and the release.
- on failure the release is deferred: finish_commit() re-checks
_admission_revoked and performs it AFTER the commit completes (prompt
even if the worker thread is later parked), and the begin_commit
refusal path does the same for a revoke that lost the race to a
transient lock-setup/cancel boundary. All paths are idempotent with
the worker's own outer cleanup (DB release is holder-qualified).
Invariant encoded + tested: no second compressor can acquire the durable
lock while an admitted commit is still mutating; after a post-revoke
commit finishes the lease is released promptly. Both regressions
(revoke-during-commit deferral, revoke-before-commit immediate release +
refused begin_commit) are sabotage-verified.
Rebase onto origin/main brought in 'let explicit interrupts cancel safely',
which predates this branch's pooled progress-timeout + F1-F6 fence rework.
Reconcile the two:
- begin_commit(cancel_event) re-checks the hard-cancel Event under the
fence lock again (lost in the mechanical rebase).
- compress_context: restore aux_interrupt_protection around the summary
call, the post-return frozen-cause AuxiliaryExplicitCancellation check,
and the full rollback/telemetry handler for explicit interrupts.
- run_agent._compress_context: recreate the per-attempt fence registration
(_active_compression_commit_fence) that hard_interrupt() uses to
serialize cancel admission, and thread that exact fence through both
the direct and pooled paths (run_compress_context_with_progress_timeout
now accepts an external fence).
- test: the pooled worker isolates the live transcript (F3), so the
hard-interrupt rollback regression mutates the engine's input snapshot
rather than reaching around it to the caller's list.
Same hermetic-CI trap the concurrent-fork suite already guards against:
without credentials the one-time feasibility probe aborts compression
before the stubbed engine starts, so the F3/F4 blocked-state assertions
went vacuous-false in CI while passing on credentialed dev machines.
- Config docs now describe session_stall_timeout precisely: a RECOVERY
notifier for an in-process AIAgent with an adapter-queued follow-up —
not a general gateway/session stall detector — with a per-AIAgent scan
cadence (not globally coordinated per durable session).
- import_sessions documents the deliberate export-includes /
import-resets asymmetry for the activity fields (no resurrected
'working' labels on machines where no agent runs), with a regression
pinning both halves.

PR #76354 review, scope/contract items + housekeeping.
The stall watchdog gathered pending/activity candidates and later sent
the recovery notification from that aging snapshot — an agent that made
progress (or drained its queue) between the scan and the send received a
false stall notice mid-recovery.
Re-read the adapter pending slot, the overflow queue, and the live
activity snapshot immediately before delivery; abort the send and re-arm
the latch (pop it) when the candidate is no longer stale, so a future
genuine episode still notifies.
Race regressions: progress between scan and send aborts delivery;
pending-drained between scan and send aborts delivery; a genuinely
still-stale candidate is still delivered exactly once.

merge gate 8.
Activity heartbeat writes and turn-end label clears ran synchronously on
the response-critical path with the full ~20s routine write-patience
budget — under contention an otherwise-finished reply could stall for
seconds just to update observation labels, mimicking the very stall the
watchdog detects.
touch_session_activity and clear_session_activity_labels now use a
dedicated 0.5s patience budget (they are observation-only; the next
heartbeat window retries naturally), and a no-op label clear (labels
already empty) skips the write transaction entirely.
Regressions: with another connection holding BEGIN IMMEDIATE, both writes
give up well under the routine budget; the no-op clear performs zero
write transactions.
