Apply per-connection SQLite pragmas (busy_timeout, foreign_keys), replace fuzzy FTS memory dedup with exact SHA-256 digests, and make message persistence idempotent via an upsert and deterministic IDs.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change hardens SQLite persistence with connection pragmas, deterministic message IDs, idempotent inserts, exact memory deduplication, digest migration, and reconciliation. Two plans document persistence consolidation and hardening work. ChangesPersistence hardening
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The persistence change improves idempotent message writes, but deterministic IDs can collide when message fields contain NUL bytes, potentially retaining the wrong message on retry. This is a bounded correctness risk that should have explicit owner awareness or follow-up. Possibly related PRs

- Around line 20-27: Update the active consolidation plan to remove obsolete
Shepherd migration requirements: replace or move the facts/frontiers migration
example, shepherd_store.go and MigrateShepherdIfNeeded file-summary entries,
rejected wrapper/migration/SessionTokenStats() tests, and fixed trace-path
architecture claims with the revised Phase 0 scope. Ensure any retained
historical material is clearly marked non-actionable, and describe
ShepherdTraceDir as configurable with tracing opt-in.
- Around line 137-140: Revise Option A in the persistence consolidation plan to
require Shepherd’s trace store to use yaah’s shared SQLite connection, since
ATTACH DATABASE is connection-scoped and NewSQLiteTraceStore currently owns a
separate *sql.DB. State that this requires an upstream connection-injection API
or a fork, and retain Option C unless that dependency change is implemented.
In @.agents/plans/persistence-hardening/PLAN.md:
- Around line 101-108: Choose and document a single digest normalization rule,
then apply it consistently wherever memory digests are created or recomputed:
memoryDigest, AddMemory, AddMemoryDedup, UpdateMemory, backfill logic, and
related tests. Ensure all callers use the same normalized input before hashing
and update expectations to match.
- Around line 235-237: Correct Item 3’s rollback description to state that

- Around line 93-99: Make the digest migration in migrate idempotent by reusing
the existing guarded-migration pattern or versioned migration so repeated Open
calls do not attempt to add an already-present digest column. Add coverage that
opens the database twice consecutively and verifies both opens succeed.
- Around line 146-181: Update SessionPersister.Persist and its position
bookkeeping so retries reuse the original message idx until the debounced write
is durably resolved, rather than advancing msgIdx immediately after
DebouncedWriter.Update. Make messageID include every immutable persisted field,
including ReasoningContent, ToolName, ToolCallID, and ToolCalls. In AddMessage,
inspect an existing (session_id, idx) row on conflict and only treat it as a
no-op when all immutable fields match; otherwise return a conflict error, and
only start background embedding for a newly inserted row.
In `@internal/memory/memory.go`:
- Around line 292-307: Update the migration logic in Open around the memory
digest schema check, ALTER TABLE, and ReconcileMemoryDigests calls to capture

Open rather than allowing initialization to continue with an incomplete digest
migration.
- Around line 355-365: Update AddMemoryDedup to perform an atomic
database-enforced claim for the digest, using a unique deduplication key or
equivalent schema constraint, then fetch and return the existing memory ID when
the claim conflicts. Preserve AddMemory’s existing insertion behavior and return
its normal errors for non-duplicate failures.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Correct the rollback semantics.
A bare INSERT restores error-on-conflict behavior; it does not provide position-overwrite behavior. If overwrite is required, define an explicit ON CONFLICT(session_id, idx) DO UPDATE policy. Otherwise describe the rollback as restoring uniqueness errors.

Encode message-ID fields without delimiter ambiguity.
Raw string fields can contain \x00. Two different field tuples can then produce the same byte sequence before hashing. AddMessage will treat the resulting ID collision as an idempotent retry and silently retain the wrong message at that position. Use length-prefixed fields or a structured encoding before hashing.

SUGGESTION: Index the digest column for dedup lookups
AddMemoryDedup queries WHERE digest = ? LIMIT 1 (this line) and ReconcileMemoryDigests queries WHERE digest IS NULL (line 632). Without an index on digest, both scan the full memory table on every dedup check — the old FTS MATCH path used the FTS5 index, so this is a regression. Add an idempotent CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_memory_digest ON memory(digest) in the migration alongside the ALTER TABLE at line 301.
