In rollback-journal (DELETE) mode a sibling process can take the write lock between schema load and the messages_fts probe. FTS5's xConnect then fails its %_config read and SQLite reports SQLITE_BUSY with the text "vtable constructor failed: messages_fts". Every state.db lock classifier matched on the words "locked"/"busy", so: - a writable SessionDB() failed after 1s instead of waiting out the lock with _WRITE_PATIENCE_S, and callers disabled persistence for the run; - a read-only open (dashboard, `hermes sessions list`, cross-profile readers) failed on the first busy timeout with no retry at all; - the error read as not transient (dashboard 500, not 503) and as persistence cause "unknown" instead of "locked". Add hermes_state_errors.is_sqlite_lock_error: SQLITE_BUSY/SQLITE_LOCKED by result code when SQLite supplies one, text only when it does not (our own re-raised messages, RPC-wrapped strings). Route the writer open patience loop, the _execute_write retry, the reconcile re-raise, the WAL->DELETE flip, the maintenance holder probe, is_transient_sqlite_error and classify_persistence_error through it. The read-only open retries a lock inside its existing bounded retry budget, next to the transient IOERR case.
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.
