_insert_message_rows stamps _row_id and the stored-row digest onto the
caller's dicts inside the write transaction. Only append_messages_batch
restored that state on rollback. archive_and_compact, replace_messages
and the rotation handoff left the rolled-back id + digest on the dicts;
SQLite reuses the id, so a later flush found a digest mismatch on the
foreign row, adopted it and silently dropped the user's message.
Move the capture/restore into _execute_transcript_write, used by every
caller that inserts caller-owned dicts: each attempt starts from the
caller's state and a final failure restores it before re-raising.
(Rewind replacement and import insert dicts built inside the txn.)
Also: bind _message_row_params directly on insert instead of the
serialized-dict round-trip, import the public DB_ROW_SNAPSHOT /
CANONICAL_ROW names, set adopt=False once, and reuse target_row
instead of re-SELECTing when nothing was written.
A legacy (no-digest) dict over a non-blank assistant row adopted the whole
decoded DB row: tool_calls / reasoning* / codex_* were overwritten with the
stored JSON (which still holds the escaped lone surrogate the sanitizer just
fixed, re-injecting it into the provider payload) and live-only fields were
popped. Resumed dicts (_rows_to_conversation stamps _row_id without a
digest) and compaction clones hit this path. Adopt content only, as before
this stack, via a content-only canonical handled like the metadata-only one.
_insert_message_rows dropped a clone's parent digest but only the flush
path restamped it, so clones made by archive_and_compact / replace /
rotation handoff / import reached the legacy path and the first live edit
after a clone was not persisted. Stamp the stored-row digest inside
_insert_message_rows (one batched SELECT, cold paths only; the flush path
statement count is unchanged) and drop the duplicate call in
append_messages_batch.
Define the _db_row_snapshot / _canonical_row keys once in
agent/message_metadata.py and import them everywhere instead of repeating
the literals.
The row digest hashed every repair column, so a same-process metadata write
(reaction, display-kind stamp, api_content / codex reasoning backfill,
platform message id) made our own row look like a foreign winner. The
re-flush then adopted the stale DB row: a later live edit (the non-ASCII
strip recovery) was reverted, and unsanitized tool_calls/reasoning were
copied back onto the live dict.
The digest now covers only the owned (non-metadata) columns: it means "the
row is still what we last committed". Match -> write the live owned values
and hand over only presentation metadata the live dict lacks; mismatch ->
genuine other writer, adopt as before. The r3 "stored content equals the
durable form of live" special case is subsumed and removed.
Also:
- _insert_message_rows drops a carried digest when it assigns a new row id
(compaction/replace/import clones carried the parent's version).
- append_messages_batch restores each message's _row_id / digest /
timestamp and pops the adopted row at the top of every _execute_write
attempt, so a rolled-back attempt cannot resolve to a foreign row.
- message_id is no longer synced onto live (int -> str flip, spurious
platform_message_id).
- The JSONL divert strips both bookkeeping keys via one frozenset.
Same-process writers (set_message_reaction, display-kind stamping, api_content
backfills, codex reasoning update) change stored columns after a flush without
refreshing the live row digest. The next sanitize + re-flush treated that as a
concurrent winner and copied the lossy durable projection over live multimodal
content, dropping image parts and shifting the prompt-cache prefix. On adoption
we now keep live content when the stored content is just the durable form of
it and sync metadata only; a real concurrent content winner is still adopted.
The legacy blank-assistant path (dict with _row_id but no digest, blank DB row)
again only fills the row from live content, as on main, instead of running the
full canonical sync that wiped live reasoning_content/finish_reason/tool_calls.
Adoption on the legacy path is limited to a non-blank row.
Also: transcript_row_snapshot returns str (the partial-row branch had no
caller), serialization only runs on the digest-match branch that reads it,
stamping reuses hermes_state_common._id_chunks, and _MESSAGE_WRITE_COLUMNS is a
plain top-level import (hermes_state_messages imports this module lazily, so
there is no cycle).
The row-addressed repair stamped the decoded durable row on every
resolved message, so after our own rewrite the sync copied the lossy
durable projection (image parts -> "text\n[screenshot]") back onto the
live dict: multimodal user/tool messages lost their images and the
prompt-cache prefix changed. Adopt the DB row only when another writer
won (digest mismatch) or on the legacy assistant path, as BASE did.
The insert-time digest hashed Python bind values, but SQLite affinity
rewrites them on storage (int message_id -> TEXT, float token_count ->
INTEGER), so live and DB digests never matched and in-place edits were
silently dropped. Hash the stored rows instead, only on the
append_messages_batch flush path that reads the digest (one SELECT per
batch), incrementally (type tag + length prefix) instead of via JSON.
Also skip the no-op UPDATE, fix the _write_columns comment/spacing and
drop the duplicate top-level Optional import (F811).
The CAS row snapshot was a full copy of each message's durable payload
riding on the live dict. The rough token estimator priced it (about 2x
estimates -> premature compaction) and it doubled transcript memory.
Replace it with a 16-byte blake2b digest of the repair columns. The
compare now runs in Python against the target row already read inside
the BEGIN IMMEDIATE transaction, followed by a plain UPDATE. Also:
- add _db_row_snapshot to PERSISTENCE_ONLY_MESSAGE_FIELDS so the
estimator and the outbound request builder both drop it
- derive _REPAIR_COLUMNS/_SYNC_FIELDS from _MESSAGE_WRITE_COLUMNS
- use hermes_state_common._placeholders
- drop the dead resume-path stamp (the SELECT has no token_count, so it
was always None) and the dead tool name assignment in
_decoded_repair_row
- keep the digest out of divert JSONL
The kept active-row test now pins estimate stability across a flush and
the survival of a concurrent writer's row. It goes red on the old
prod files and red when the digest compare is removed.
transcript_row_snapshot annotates Optional, which was only reachable via the
PLUGIN-COMPAT re-export block at the bottom of the module. Internal code must
not depend on that revert-scheduled block, so import it with the other typing names.
The Sep 2026 decomposition (PR #102117) makes internal import paths a non-API: names now live in
the focused modules that define them. This commit is the ONLY thing keeping the old paths alive,
so external plugins have time to update. It is deliberately a single, unsquashed commit:
git revert <this sha>
removes every shim, stub and manifest at once on the announced date. Nothing in-tree may depend on
these pointers: scripts/check_compat_pointers.py (wired into lint.yml) fails CI if it does.
What it adds (see COMPAT_MANIFEST.md, compat_manifest.json):
- 332 facade modules get one delimited `PLUGIN-COMPAT` block appended at the end of the file
- 1,172 moved names resolved lazily via a module `__getattr__` (PEP 562) — never a top-level import,
so no import cycles; facades that already had `__getattr__` get a chained one
- 592 third-party/stdlib names the old modules used to expose, with their original import statements
- 266 public definitions that had been deleted as unused, restored byte-for-byte from the pre-decomposition
tree (+40 private helpers and 16 imports pulled in only because a restored definition needs them)
- 3 deleted modules recreated as re-export stubs (gateway/startup_watchdog, hermes_cli/observability/
relay_runtime, tools/environments/modal_utils)
- private names (`_x`) get no pointer: they were never API (3,792 skipped)
Verified: all 335 touched modules import under a fresh HERMES_HOME and every manifest name resolves;
the lint reports zero in-tree uses; ruff clean; targeted suites unchanged.
