teknium1 60d94fd8f4 fix(state): warn when an existing WAL state.db sits on a virtiofs/9p mount; doctor + docs
d8dcdfd620 (v2026.9.14) made apply_wal_with_fallback refuse to ENABLE WAL
on a fresh database whose directory is on a cross-VM bind mount (virtiofs/9p),
but a database that was already WAL on such a mount kept WAL — correctly, we
never live-downgrade under other openers — and emitted nothing. The operator
in #110848 ran exactly that shape (Podman applehv virtiofs bind mount) and got
"database disk image is malformed" within a minute with no prior signal.

- apply_wal_with_fallback: in the on-disk-WAL branch, log a once-per-process
  ERROR ('cross_vm_fs_existing_wal') when the DB file is on a cross-VM
  filesystem, naming the two remedies (offline PRAGMA journal_mode=DELETE
  after stopping every process + database.journal_mode: delete, or move the
  database to a native/named volume). The fresh-DB refusal is unchanged.
- hermes doctor: _report_database_journal_modes flags a WAL database on a
  cross-VM filesystem with check_warn and the same remedy (ranked above the
  WAL-reset exposure warning; the exposure bookkeeping is kept).
- docs: docker.md gains "Filesystem requirements for state.db in containers";
  configuration.md's database comment no longer implies operators must set
  delete by hand on virtiofs.

Detection stays /proc/self/mountinfo-based (runs inside the Linux container
on macOS/Windows hosts). locking_mode=EXCLUSIVE is deliberately not adopted:
gateway, cron and workers open state.db concurrently.

Fixes #110848

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Installation

yarn

Local Development

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

Using SSH:

USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

Not using SSH:

GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.

Diagram Linting

CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
