delete_profile() already releases holographic memory_store.db handles. It did not close shared SessionDB handles from hermes_state_registry, so Windows rmtree could still hit WinError 32 on state.db.

This adds close_all_under next to MemoryStore.release_all_under. It waits for an admitted last-release teardown even when the generation is already gone.

Test plan

  • tests/hermes_cli/test_deleted_profile_tombstone.py::test_delete_releases_this_process_session_db
  • tests/hermes_state/test_shared_session_db_registry.py::TestCloseAllUnder (3 passed on this host, including the wait-for-teardown case)

Inode-replacement tests in that file still fail on Windows (os.unlink of a live SQLite file). That is pre-existing and not this PR.

Fixes #106974

delete_profile already force-closes holographic memory_store.db in this
process, but the shared SessionDB registry kept state.db open. Recreate
then failed with a replaced/locked database. Close every shared handle
under the doomed directory, same contract as MemoryStore.release_all_under.

Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
close_all_under returned after the last release dropped the generation
and before the physical close finished, so rmtree still saw the open
handle. Wait directory-matching teardown barriers the same way close_all
does.

PR 106975 — fix(cli): release SessionDB handles when deleting a profile

Shared teardown helper + scoped close_all_under(profile_dir) in the delete path. Non-blocking notes:

  • hermes_state_registry.py:71_teardown_swept_generations extraction looks faithful: per-path serialization and the active_teardowns wait are preserved for close_all, so no behavior change on the gateway-shutdown path. Good.
  • hermes_state_registry.py:60_path_is_under uses normcase + resolve with an OSError fallback; correct for Windows case-insensitivity and symlink-y profile dirs.
  • hermes_state_registry.py:131close_all_under collects _tearing_down barriers by directory (not just remaining generations), closing the final-release-admitted-teardown race where rmtree would still see an open handle. The blocking-wait test at test_shared_session_db_registry.py:212 pins this. Good.
  • hermes_cli/profiles.py:9 — wrapped in contextlib.suppress(Exception) so a registry failure can't break profile deletion. Non-blocking: a debug log would help diagnose if close ever fails silently; currently fully silent.
  • Tests cover inside-only scoping, no-op (returns 0), delete→recreate, and the admitted-teardown wait. Good.

No blockers spotted.

### [`v2026.9.11`](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/releases/tag/v2026.9.11): Hermes Agent v0.21.2 (v2026.9.11)

[Compare Source](NousResearch/hermes-agent@v2026.9.7...v2026.9.11)

##### Hermes Agent v0.21.2 (v2026.9.11) — The state.db Patch Release

**Release Date:** September 11, 2026

> Patch release. v0.21.0 shipped a large rewrite of the session store's connection handling, and for some installs it made `state.db` fragile: second writers cancelling each other's locks, healthy databases reported as corrupt, one bad row killing `sessions list`. This release closes that class and rolls up everything else that landed on `main` in the four days since v0.21.1.

##### About this release

Measured at commit `04dd80a977f40b05e5b2054111747af07a61886a`, the window since v0.21.1 contains **947 non-merge commits** across **1,869 changed files** (+182,504 / −15,564) and **312 merged PRs**. **140 contributors** appear in commits, co-author trailers, or salvage credits.

##### ✨ Highlights

##### state.db reliability campaign (six PRs, 44 issues closed)

If your `state.db` broke after 0.21.0, this is the release for you. Six PRs fix the root causes rather than the symptoms:

- **No more second writers.** Profile gateways wrote hosted-room state into the *root* `state.db` every 5 seconds; the dashboard opened a writable handle on startup; cron's lifecycle guard did a raw `open()` on a live database (which cancels the gateway's POSIX locks — the classic "how to corrupt SQLite" recipe); `doctor --fix` would checkpoint under a live holder. All four are gone: hosted rooms live in `shared-state.db`, the dashboard opens read-only first, the guard goes through the tracked connection registry, and `doctor --fix` refuses a checkpoint it can't prove is safe.

- **Healthy WAL databases stop wedging.** OpenZFS `(deleted)` dentries and a `close()` racing an `append_message` both produced a sticky `DeletedWalGenerationError` on a perfectly good store; the read pool was handed out under an unconfirmed journal mode; a transient `disk I/O error` on WSL2 killed `get_session` on the first attempt; and a "state.db locked" banner was broadcast after the lock had already cleared.

- **FTS damage no longer kills your turn.** An error scoped to the full-text-search index was classified as whole-file corruption and fail-closed the conversation. It's now `fts_index`: search degrades, the index rebuilds later, the transcript store is untouched. Same PR: doctor names structural damage honestly instead of "FTS write corruption", the FTS write probe catches the stale-index shape that passed every check while every write failed, `.recover` output no longer fails startup on orphan FTS5 shadow tables, header-zeroed databases recover instead of being refused, and the dashboard analytics poller returns a 503 instead of 520K tracebacks a day.

- **One corrupt row no longer kills `sessions list`, export, or insights.** A TEXT timestamp or a `1e30` epoch used to crash the whole listing; malformed marker JSON crashed `json_extract`; more than 999 ids crashed bulk delete/prune. One `coerce_epoch()` helper on every reader (bad rows render `?` with a WARNING naming the session), a `json_valid` guard, IN-list chunking, and batched export hydration.

- **Sessions never bind to or read another profile's database.** The Desktop launch backend could pin itself to the wrong profile's `state.db` under a HERMES\_HOME override race; `session_search` by bare ID silently scanned every profile and returned someone else's transcript; recovery guidance pointed at the wrong file; profile delete kept a handle open (WinError 32).

- **Opening state.db no longer takes the write lock when nothing needs writing.** A one-shot `hermes` process opening the store behind a busy gateway stalled 4–20 s and then failed with "database is locked". Now 0.01 s. ([#&#8203;108067](NousResearch/hermes-agent#108067) — salvage [#&#8203;106751](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106751) [@&#8203;kshitijk4poor](https://github.com/kshitijk4poor), [#&#8203;101881](NousResearch/hermes-agent#101881) [@&#8203;jonpol01](https://github.com/jonpol01))

Also in the window from the same subsystem: a fresh `state.db` no longer publishes FTS tables before owning the rebuild lock ([#&#8203;106311](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106311)), a handle that lost its WAL generation no longer checkpoints stale frames at shutdown ([#&#8203;106315](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106315), [#&#8203;106840](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106840)), a clobbered first page is quarantined with its WAL instead of opened destructively ([#&#8203;106587](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106587)), WAL setup leaves an unverifiable database untouched ([#&#8203;106568](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106568)), and quarantined handles refuse VACUUM/FTS optimize ([#&#8203;106343](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106343), [#&#8203;106349](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106349)). Most of these salvaged community diagnoses by [@&#8203;kshitijk4poor](https://github.com/kshitijk4poor).

##### Multi-profile isolation hardening

A cluster of fixes for installs running several profiles under one gateway (multiplex): secondary-profile bots no longer inherit the default profile's allow-lists ([#&#8203;107616](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107616)), adapters no longer send credentials to the default profile's host ([#&#8203;107617](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107617)), stdio MCP servers no longer receive the default profile's vault secrets ([#&#8203;107630](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107630)), `MEDIA:` delivery can no longer attach another profile's `.env` / `auth.json` / `state.db` ([#&#8203;107609](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107609)), Feishu drive callbacks and `/p/<profile>/` webhook replies stay on the routed profile ([#&#8203;107620](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107620), [#&#8203;107626](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107626)), and secondary profiles no longer get a sibling's Nous bearer from per-process memos ([#&#8203;107611](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107611)).

##### Desktop backend spawn storms are over

Bot Mode used to spawn or dial one backend per profile on launch and on every roster tick, hovering the Bots roster spawned a backend per row, and profile switches could spawn a duplicate primary. ([#&#8203;108069](NousResearch/hermes-agent#108069), [#&#8203;108107](NousResearch/hermes-agent#108107), [#&#8203;108118](NousResearch/hermes-agent#108118), [#&#8203;108134](NousResearch/hermes-agent#108134), [#&#8203;107969](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107969), [#&#8203;108112](NousResearch/hermes-agent#108112) — salvage [#&#8203;102512](NousResearch/hermes-agent#102512), [#&#8203;103634](NousResearch/hermes-agent#103634), [#&#8203;103399](NousResearch/hermes-agent#103399), [#&#8203;107997](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107997) and others by [@&#8203;kshitijk4poor](https://github.com/kshitijk4poor))

##### Password-blind credential vault

The agent can now sign in, pay, and fill addresses from 1Password, Bitwarden, or the local Hermes vault without ever seeing a secret; two-factor codes come from a saved authenticator key or are asked for in the user's UI ([#&#8203;106480](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106480), [#&#8203;107585](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107585)). Private git plugins install with the user's stored credentials ([#&#8203;106981](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106981)).

##### Plugin catalog and one Plugins page

A curated, SHA-pinned plugin index with CLI, admission CI, docs and dashboard ([#&#8203;69446](NousResearch/hermes-agent#69446)); Desktop gets one Plugins page owning agent + desktop plugins, install, catalog and per-commit pinning ([#&#8203;107212](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107212), [#&#8203;107314](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107314), [#&#8203;107321](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107321)); Radio ships as an opt-in SDK plugin ([#&#8203;107072](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107072)).

##### Nous free tier and guided first launch

Free inference and connectors out of the box with one command to sign in ([#&#8203;105258](NousResearch/hermes-agent#105258), [#&#8203;105260](NousResearch/hermes-agent#105260)), `/login` from a chat ([#&#8203;105261](NousResearch/hermes-agent#105261)), connector tools (Gmail, Linear, Notion, ...) searchable through `tool_search` ([#&#8203;106842](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106842)), and a guided first launch behind `HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING=1` ([#&#8203;107697](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107697), [#&#8203;107958](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107958), [#&#8203;107985](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107985), [#&#8203;108211](NousResearch/hermes-agent#108211)).

##### 🐛 Notable Bug Fixes

**Gateway & platforms**

- A bare `display:` key in config.yaml no longer crashes every gateway turn ([#&#8203;106305](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106305)); a queued-lane final refused by the platform is recorded and redelivered ([#&#8203;106316](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106316)); a stalled WebSocket send no longer blocks every later event ([#&#8203;106581](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106581)); the first turn no longer waits on the Python toolchain probe ([#&#8203;106556](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106556)).
- Telegram bots must @&#8203;mention when `bots_require_mention` is on, breaking bot-to-bot loops ([#&#8203;106534](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106534)); Matrix renders LaTeX ([#&#8203;106515](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106515)); Signal renders markdown tables ([#&#8203;106538](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106538)); WhatsApp replies to view-once messages keep their quote ([#&#8203;106541](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106541)); media-only replies report SUCCESS everywhere ([#&#8203;106557](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106557)).

**Providers & routing**

- `/model` and auxiliary auto never bill a provider you didn't select ([#&#8203;107366](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107366)); never auto-switch to a provider you have no credentials for ([#&#8203;107281](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107281)); Bedrock Claude/Converse/Mantle models survive `/model`, fallback and restore ([#&#8203;107621](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107621), [#&#8203;107658](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107658)); Bedrock Guardrails enforced ([#&#8203;107815](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107815)).
- Codex: patch-budget image 400 shrinks and retries ([#&#8203;106525](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106525)); unentitled primary + fallback no longer oscillate ([#&#8203;106549](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106549)); Azure Foundry replayed-reasoning rejection classified and pruned ([#&#8203;106718](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106718) [@&#8203;erosika](https://github.com/erosika)). MCP OAuth refresh no longer erases the refresh token ([#&#8203;106185](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106185)). Anthropic clients send exactly one credential ([#&#8203;107978](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107978)).
- DeepSeek V4.1 Flash on Nous Portal and OpenRouter pickers ([#&#8203;107489](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107489)); GPT Image 2.5 via OpenAI and FAL ([#&#8203;105988](NousResearch/hermes-agent#105988)); Opus 5 / Fable 5.1 on the native Anthropic picker ([#&#8203;106636](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106636) [@&#8203;xxxigm](https://github.com/xxxigm)).

**Agent loop & compression**

- One blocked periodic callback no longer stalls lease refresh ([#&#8203;106308](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106308)); a mid-turn `/steer` is persisted as its own user row ([#&#8203;106317](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106317), [#&#8203;106344](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106344)); local-inference memory-ceiling rejections back off instead of compressing history ([#&#8203;106307](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106307)); context-overflow after partial streaming ends the turn ([#&#8203;106567](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106567)); length continuation stops when the prompt filled the window ([#&#8203;106571](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106571)); compression no longer times out silently on aux retries ([#&#8203;106866](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106866)); `model_thresholds` keys can be provider-scoped ([#&#8203;108061](NousResearch/hermes-agent#108061)).
- Surface switch (Desktop↔TUI) no longer rebuilds the system prompt and busts the prompt cache ([#&#8203;105844](NousResearch/hermes-agent#105844)); CLI keeps the `api_content` sidecar so the cache survives an early persist ([#&#8203;105842](NousResearch/hermes-agent#105842)).

**CLI, TUI & Desktop**

- `hermes -z --resume` continues the session ([#&#8203;106313](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106313)); Shift+letter and Cmd+Shift+Z work on extended-key terminals ([#&#8203;90674](NousResearch/hermes-agent#90674) [@&#8203;francip](https://github.com/francip), [#&#8203;105493](NousResearch/hermes-agent#105493)); `browser_exec` timeout kills the whole process tree ([#&#8203;106589](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106589)); update checks poll the GitHub API once a day instead of git-fetching every 30 min ([#&#8203;107648](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107648)); `hermes update` names the real cause and can't hang on a stalled fetch ([#&#8203;108053](NousResearch/hermes-agent#108053)).
- Desktop: UI language survives the update relaunch ([#&#8203;106476](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106476)), expired OAuth grants get a one-click re-sign-in ([#&#8203;106965](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106965)), HUD mode shows the transcript again and always gives the window back ([#&#8203;107491](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107491), [#&#8203;107423](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107423)), the backend exits when its Desktop parent dies ([#&#8203;107977](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107977)), Windows updates stop reporting false failures ([#&#8203;106175](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106175), [#&#8203;107183](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107183)), WSLg renders on the Windows GPU ([#&#8203;106528](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106528)), Telegram quick setup with QR ported from the dashboard ([#&#8203;107242](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107242)), and \~60 more Desktop fixes largely from [@&#8203;OutThisLife](https://github.com/OutThisLife) and [@&#8203;kshitijk4poor](https://github.com/kshitijk4poor).

**Cron & Kanban**

- An off-tick "run now" no longer cancels the next scheduled run ([#&#8203;106306](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106306)); a killed manual run no longer blocks the next one for 5 minutes ([#&#8203;106733](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106733)); a one-shot changed to recurring keeps firing ([#&#8203;106532](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106532)); unpinned jobs run on their creation-snapshot model ([#&#8203;106499](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106499)); `--clone-all` no longer copies cron jobs ([#&#8203;106478](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106478)); `kanban promote` refuses undone parents ([#&#8203;106550](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106550)); `kanban_request_review` rejects unknown reviewer profiles ([#&#8203;106547](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106547)).

**Tools & memory**

- A stdio MCP server dying mid-call no longer replays the tool call ([#&#8203;106546](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106546)); a skills-only background review can no longer delete memory entries ([#&#8203;106310](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106310)); mem0 memory no longer drops long turns ([#&#8203;106542](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106542)); `tool_search` returns nothing rather than five tools sharing one word ([#&#8203;106676](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106676)); remote NOPASSWD sudo no longer prompts ([#&#8203;107939](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107939)); RSS and Reddit reading no longer activate by default ([#&#8203;105873](NousResearch/hermes-agent#105873)).

**Housekeeping**

- `config.yaml` backups live in one bounded `backups/config/` dir ([#&#8203;106388](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106388)); `hermes backup` keeps the newest 3 zips ([#&#8203;106455](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106455)); `hermes setup --reset` backs up the real config ([#&#8203;106453](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106453)); `debug share` retention shrunk to 1 day on the dpaste fallback ([#&#8203;106531](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106531)).

##### Updating

- Existing install: `hermes update`
- Fresh install: `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash`
- Managed deployments should update through their deployment tooling using the new tag.
- If your `state.db` was already damaged by 0.21.0/0.21.1: run `hermes doctor` first; it now names structural vs index damage correctly and points at `hermes sessions recover --inspect-only` (profile-pinned) when a rebuild isn't enough.

**Full Changelog:** [v2026.9.7...v2026.9.11](NousResearch/hermes-agent@v2026.9.7...v2026.9.11)
