"database is locked (another Hermes process held the state.db write lock for over 60s)" identified the victim only. The open-descriptor scan cannot single out the writer because every Hermes process (gateway, CLI sessions, worktree agents, cron) has the DB open, so an operator hit repeatedly by session_persistence_failed:locked had nothing to act on. SQLite's unix VFS takes fcntl byte-range locks whose offset encodes the lock kind (state.db-shm byte 120 = WAL write, 121 = checkpoint; the pending-byte page on state.db = PENDING/RESERVED), and the kernel exports them with the owning pid in /proc/locks. hermes_state_lockowners reads that table at the moment the patience budget runs out and logs one WARNING per write-class holder with describe_holder_pid()'s argv summary, for both the transcript write path and open+init lock patience. The holder stays out of the exception text on purpose: classify_persistence_error() buckets by phrase and a holder argv such as a worktree named fix-corrupt-db would flip the bucket. Docs: the Write Contention section still described attempt-counted retries (_WRITE_MAX_RETRIES = 15); updated to the time budgets in force and the new log line.
Website
This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.
Reading the docs on GitHub? The Markdown under
docs/is authored for the rendered site at https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/. Cross-page links are relative Markdown paths, so they follow through on GitHub's file viewer too. Every page on the site has an Edit this page link that opens the source file here.
Authoring links in docs/
- Link to another page with a relative Markdown path, anchors included:
[Profiles](../user-guide/profiles.md),[Bundles](../user-guide/features/skills.md#skill-bundles). Docusaurus turns the file path into the page route; GitHub follows the same path. Site routes (/user-guide/profiles,/docs/user-guide/profiles) only work on the rendered site — GitHub resolves them as repository paths and 404s, and the/docs/form also emits/docs/zh-Hans/docs/...404s in the zh-Hans build becausebaseUrlis already/docs/. python3 website/scripts/check_doc_links.pyfails on any route-style link in hand-authored pages (EN and the zh-Hans mirror);--fixrewrites them. It runs in theDocs Site Checksworkflow. Generated pages (user-guide/skills/{bundled,optional},reference/*skills-catalog.md) are produced byscripts/generate-skill-docs.py, which emits the same relative form.- Pin
{#anchor}on cross-linked headings so the zh-Hans mirror keeps the same id.
Installation
yarn
Local Development
yarn start
This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.
Build
yarn build
This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.
Deployment
Using SSH:
USE_SSH=true yarn deploy
Not using SSH:
GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy
If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.
Diagram Linting
CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
