Hermes Agent shipped 947 commits across 1,869 files in four days to close a class of SQLite `state.db` corruption.

NousResearch released hermes-agent v0.21.2 on September 11, a patch release rolling up 947 non-merge commits, 312 merged PRs and 140 contributors since v0.21.1 four days earlier. The headline removes four separate second-writer paths into the agent's root state.db: profile gateways writing hosted-room state every 5 seconds, a writable dashboard handle at startup, cron's lifecycle guard doing a raw open() that cancels the gateway's POSIX locks, and doctor --fix checkpointing under a live holder. Read the four root causes as a checklist if you run anything long-lived on SQLite, because each is a generic way to corrupt a WAL database and the cron/POSIX-lock one in particular is easy to write by accident.
