fix(state): log WAL checkpoint failures instead of silently swallowing

[liuhao1024]

What does this PR do?

Replaces the bare except Exception: pass in _try_wal_checkpoint() and related methods with proper exception logging and an integrity guard. The destructive PRAGMA wal_checkpoint(TRUNCATE) was silently swallowing all errors — when it fails mid-operation, the WAL is already truncated to zero bytes but data was not fully written back, causing state.db corruption that cascades to TUI session store, holographic memory provider, and SessionDB.

Type of Change

• 🐛 Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)

Changes Made

• hermes_state.py (_try_wal_checkpoint): Replace except Exception: pass with except Exception as exc: logger.warning(...) plus PRAGMA quick_check(1) integrity guard that logs an error if the DB is corrupted after a failed checkpoint.
• hermes_state.py (close): Replace except Exception: pass with except Exception as exc: logger.debug(...) for the final checkpoint.
• hermes_state.py (vacuum): Replace except Exception: pass with except Exception as exc: logger.debug(...) for the pre-VACUUM checkpoint.
• tests/test_wal_checkpoint_exception.py: New test file with 6 tests covering warning logging, integrity check on failure, error logging on integrity failure, silent success, close resilience, and vacuum resilience.

How to Test

1. Run python -m pytest tests/test_wal_checkpoint_exception.py -v — all 6 tests should pass
2. Verify the fix handles the scenario from [Bug]: _try_wal_checkpoint TRUNCATE silently swallows exceptions, corrupts state.db WAL to zero bytes #44795: when _try_wal_checkpoint encounters a checkpoint failure, it now logs a warning instead of silently continuing, and runs PRAGMA quick_check(1) to detect corruption
3. Existing test_hermes_state.py tests remain unaffected — no behavioral change in the happy path

Thanks for making a real silent failure path observable. Current main still has the bare catch in hermes_state.py:1256-1267, so the logging change remains relevant.

Problems

• The proposed guard at hermes_state.py:883 executes PRAGMA quick_check(1) but does not consume its returned row. Current integrity handling reads and validates PRAGMA results at hermes_state.py:532-535; therefore a returned corruption status is ignored by this implementation.
• The new probe runs after _try_wal_checkpoint() leaves the self._lock scope. The checkpoint query itself is serialized at hermes_state.py:1256-1260, so the follow-up query should use the same mutex.

Suggested changes

• Fetch and validate the quick-check result under self._lock, logging an error for a missing or non-ok value.
• Add a test that returns a non-ok quick-check row; the current test only verifies invocation or an exception.
• Consider keeping routine lock/busy checkpoint outcomes out of the warning-plus-probe path, consistent with hermes_state.py:1220-1231.

quick_check(1) reports integrity failures as result rows, so this call must fetch and validate the returned value (and run under self._lock). Current main's probe does this at hermes_state.py:532-535; otherwise a readable corrupt database is treated as healthy.
