Threads (Telegram forum topics, Discord threads, Slack threads) now default
to shared sessions where all participants see the same conversation. This is
the expected UX for threaded conversations where multiple users @mention the
bot and interact collaboratively.
Changes:
- build_session_key(): when thread_id is present, user_id is no longer
appended to the session key (threads are shared by default)
- New config: thread_sessions_per_user (default: false) — opt-in to restore
per-user isolation in threads if needed
- Sender attribution: messages in shared threads are prefixed with
[sender name] so the agent can tell participants apart
- System prompt: shared threads show 'Multi-user thread' note instead of
a per-turn User line (avoids busting prompt cache)
- Wired through all callers: gateway/run.py, base.py, telegram.py, feishu.py
- Regular group messages (no thread) remain per-user isolated (unchanged)
- DM threads are unaffected (they have their own keying logic)
Closes community request from demontut_ re: thread-based shared sessions.
The gateway's update_session() used += for token counts, but the cached
agent's session_prompt_tokens / session_completion_tokens are cumulative
totals that grow across messages. Each update_session call re-added the
running total, inflating usage stats with every message (1.7x after 3
messages, worse over longer conversations).
Fix: change += to = for in-memory entry fields, add set_token_counts()
to SessionDB that uses direct assignment instead of SQL increment, and
switch the gateway to call it.
CLI mode continues using update_token_counts() (increment) since it
tracks per-API-call deltas — that path is unchanged.
Based on analysis from PR #3222 by @zaycruz (closed).

The cached agent accumulates session_input_tokens across messages, so
run_conversation() returns cumulative totals. But update_session() used
+= (increment), double-counting on every message after the first.
- session.py: change in-memory entry updates from += to = (direct
assignment for cumulative values)
- hermes_state.py: add absolute=True flag to update_token_counts()
that uses SET column = ? instead of SET column = column + ?
- session.py: pass absolute=True to the DB call
CLI path is unchanged — it passes per-API-call deltas directly to
update_token_counts() with the default absolute=False (increment).
Reported by @zaycruz in #3222. Closes#3222.
rewrite_transcript (used by /retry, /undo, /compress) was calling
append_message without reasoning, reasoning_details, or
codex_reasoning_items — permanently dropping them from SQLite.

* fix(session-db): survive CLI/gateway concurrent write contention
Closes#3139
Three layered fixes for the scenario where CLI and gateway write to
state.db concurrently, causing create_session() to fail with
'database is locked' and permanently disabling session_search on the
gateway side.
1. Increase SQLite connection timeout: 10s -> 30s
hermes_state.py: longer window for the WAL writer to finish a batch
flush before the other process gives up entirely.
2. INSERT OR IGNORE in create_session
hermes_state.py: prevents IntegrityError on duplicate session IDs
(e.g. gateway restarts while CLI session is still alive).
3. Don't null out _session_db on create_session failure (main fix)
run_agent.py: a transient lock at agent startup must not permanently
disable session_search for the lifetime of that agent instance.
_session_db now stays alive so subsequent flushes and searches work
once the lock clears.
4. New ensure_session() helper + call it during flush
hermes_state.py: INSERT OR IGNORE for a minimal session row.
run_agent.py _flush_messages_to_session_db: calls ensure_session()
before appending messages, so the FK constraint is satisfied even
when create_session() failed at startup. No-op when the row exists.
* fix(state): release lock between context queries in search_messages
The context-window queries (one per FTS5 match) were running inside
the same lock acquisition as the primary FTS5 query, holding the lock
for O(N) sequential SQLite round-trips. Move per-match context fetches
outside the outer lock block so each acquires the lock independently,
keeping critical sections short and allowing other threads to interleave.
* fix(session): prefer longer source in load_transcript to prevent legacy truncation
When a long-lived session pre-dates SQLite storage (e.g. sessions
created before the DB layer was introduced, or after a clean
deployment that reset the DB), _flush_messages_to_session_db only
writes the *new* messages from the current turn to SQLite — it skips
messages already present in conversation_history, assuming they are
already persisted.
That assumption fails for legacy JSONL-only sessions:
Turn N (first after DB migration):
load_transcript(id) → SQLite: 0 → falls back to JSONL: 994 ✓
_flush_messages_to_session_db: skip first 994, write 2 new → SQLite: 2
Turn N+1:
load_transcript(id) → SQLite: 2 → returns immediately ✗
Agent sees 2 messages of history instead of 996
The same pattern causes the reported symptom: session JSON truncated
to 4 messages (_save_session_log writes agent.messages which only has
2 history + 2 new = 4).
Fix: always load both sources and return whichever is longer. For a
fully-migrated session SQLite will always be ≥ JSONL, so there is no
regression. For a legacy session that hasn't been bootstrapped yet,
JSONL wins and the full history is restored.
Closes#3212
* test: add load_transcript source preference tests for #3212
Covers: JSONL longer returns JSONL, SQLite longer returns SQLite,
SQLite empty falls back to JSONL, both empty returns empty, equal
length prefers SQLite (richer reasoning fields).

Wrap json.loads() in load_transcript() with try/except JSONDecodeError
so that partial JSONL lines (from mid-write crashes like OOM/SIGKILL)
are skipped with a warning instead of crashing the entire transcript
load. The rest of the history loads fine.
Adds a logger.warning with the session ID and truncated corrupt line
content for debugging visibility.
Salvaged from PR #1193 by alireza78a.
Closes#1193
default group and channel sessions to per-user isolation, allow opting back into shared room sessions via config.yaml, and document Discord gateway routing and session behavior.
Include participant identifiers in non-DM session keys when available so group and channel conversations no longer share one transcript across every active user in the chat.
Update interrupt-key expectations for namespaced DM session keys and add a regression test that different DM chat IDs produce distinct gateway sessions.
Add regression coverage for backfilling NULL gateway session models in SQLite, preserving existing models, and forwarding the resolved agent model through SessionStore updates.
Tell the agent what it CANNOT do on Slack and Discord — no searching
channel history, no pinning messages, no managing channels/roles.
Prevents the agent from hallucinating capabilities it doesn't have
and promising actions it can't deliver.
Addresses user feedback: agent says 'I'll search your Slack history'
then goes silent because no Slack-specific tools exist.
Follow-up to 58dbd81 — ensures smooth transition for existing users:
- Backward compat: old session files without last_prompt_tokens
default to 0 via data.get('last_prompt_tokens', 0)
- /compress, /undo, /retry: reset last_prompt_tokens to 0 after
rewriting transcripts (stale token counts would under-report)
- Auto-compression hygiene: reset last_prompt_tokens after rewriting
- update_session: use None sentinel (not 0) as default so callers
can explicitly reset to 0 while normal calls don't clobber
- 6 new tests covering: default value, serialization roundtrip,
old-format migration, set/reset/no-change semantics
- /reset: new SessionEntry naturally gets last_prompt_tokens=0
2942 tests pass.
The session key construction logic was duplicated in 4 places
(session.py + 3 inline copies in run.py), which is exactly the
kind of drift that caused issue #349 in the first place.
Extracted build_session_key() as a public function in session.py.
SessionStore._generate_session_key() now delegates to it, and all
inline key construction in run.py has been replaced with calls to
the shared function. Tests updated to test the function directly.
The previous implementation used `len(self._entries) > 1` to check if any
sessions had ever been created. This failed for single-platform users because
when sessions reset (via /reset, auto-reset, or gateway restart), the entry
for the same session_key is replaced in _entries, not added. So len(_entries)
stays at 1 for users who only use one platform.
Fix: Query the SQLite database's session count instead. The database preserves
historical session records (marked as ended), so session_count() correctly
returns > 1 for returning users even after resets.
This prevents the agent from reintroducing itself to returning users after
every session reset.
Fixes#351
Tests added:
- Roundtrip serialization of chat_topic via to_dict/from_dict
- chat_topic defaults to None when missing from dict
- Channel Topic line appears in session context prompt when set
- Channel Topic line is omitted when chat_topic is None
Follow-up to PR #248 (feat: Discord channel topic in session context).
/retry and /undo set session_entry.conversation_history which does not
exist on SessionEntry. The truncated history was never written to disk,
so the next message reload picked up the full unmodified transcript.
Added SessionStore.rewrite_transcript() that persists changes to both
the JSONL file and SQLite database, and updated both commands to use it.
/reset accessed self.session_store._sessions which does not exist on
SessionStore (the correct attribute is _entries). Also replaced the
hand-coded session key with _generate_session_key() to fix WhatsApp DM
sessions using the wrong key format.
Closes#210
- Renamed test method for clarity and added comprehensive tests for `SessionSource` including handling of numeric `chat_id`, missing optional fields, and invalid platforms.
- Introduced tests for session source descriptions based on chat types and names, ensuring accurate representation in prompts.
- Improved file tools tests by validating schema structures, ensuring no duplicate model IDs, and enhancing error handling in file operations.
