Twelve modules each carried their own sqlite3.connect + PRAGMA + `with conn:`
stack. The #69567 fd-leak fix (a `with conn:` commits but never closes, so each
call leaked a connection and its WAL/SHM fds until GC) was pasted as code plus
docstring into six of them and hosted_room_policy_checkpoint never received
it; plugins/plugin_storage.plugin_db was the only production caller issuing a
raw `PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL`, bypassing the network-FS fallback, the
WAL-reset-bug gate and the never-live-downgrade invariant that
hermes_state_wal.apply_wal_with_fallback carries.
hermes_cli/sqlite_util.py (already home to add_column_if_missing/write_txn,
imported by cron, gateway and hermes_cli alike) gains `open_db(path, *,
db_label, busy_timeout_ms, wal, foreign_keys, synchronous_full, row_factory,
check_same_thread, wal_lock_retries, initialize)` and `transaction(conn,
immediate=)`; cron/ledger.py is deleted and hosted_rooms_common's
open_sqlite/connect/transaction become 1-3 line forwarders. Migrated:
agent/verification_evidence, cron/{executions,incidents,notepad,
delivery_queue}, gateway/{delivery_ledger,hosted_room_policy_checkpoint,
hosted_rooms_common (-> hosted_rooms, hosted_room_driver)}, hermes_cli/
projects_db, tools/async_delegation, plugins/plugin_storage.
Behavior changes (each module keeps its effective PRAGMA set otherwise):
- hosted_room_policy_checkpoint: connection now closed after every use and
on init failure (was leaked per call), busy_timeout PRAGMA set explicitly.
- projects_db: gains busy_timeout=5000 (was the sqlite3 default 5 s connect
timeout with no PRAGMA); explicit and observable.
- delivery_ledger / async_delegation: busy_timeout PRAGMA now mirrors the
10 s connect timeout they already had.
- plugin_storage.plugin_db: WAL through apply_wal_with_fallback (DELETE on
network filesystems / WAL-reset-vulnerable builds instead of raw WAL);
busy_timeout=5000.
- cron/incidents._redact_error: redact_sensitive_text(force=True) — the
error text is persisted to disk.
- delivery_ledger's private duplicate-column guard and the unguarded
`ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN` sites (shared_metrics, api_server_run_idempotency,
holographic store, kanban model_override) go through add_column_if_missing.
- hermes_state.py::_scrub_surrogates: dead byte-copy of
hermes_state_messages._scrub_surrogates (0 callers) deleted.
For each issue anchor present in BASE 63279301bc non-test .py and absent on HEAD, the BASE comment/docstring block was re-attached at the HEAD location of the code it explained (matched by the distinctive code line / enclosing def). Sentences already covered by an existing HEAD comment were deduped; the issue number always survives. Insert-only: no code lines changed.
