"""
SQLite State Store for Hermes Agent.

Provides persistent session storage with FTS5 full-text search, replacing
the per-session JSONL file approach. Stores session metadata, full message
history, and model configuration for CLI and gateway sessions.

Key design decisions:
- WAL mode for concurrent readers + one writer (gateway multi-platform)
- FTS5 virtual table for fast text search across all session messages
- Compression-triggered session splitting via parent_session_id chains
- Batch runner and RL trajectories are NOT stored here (separate systems)
- Session source tagging ('cli', 'telegram', 'discord', etc.) for filtering

# SQLite's WAL mode requires shared-memory (mmap) coordination and fcntl
# byte-range locks that don't reliably work on network filesystems (NFS,
# SMB/CIFS, some FUSE mounts, WSL1).  Upstream documents this explicitly:
# https://www.sqlite.org/wal.html#sometimes_queries_return_sqlite_busy_in_wal_mode
#
# On those filesystems ``PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL`` raises
# ``sqlite3.OperationalError: locking protocol`` (SQLITE_PROTOCOL).  If we
# propagate that, every feature backed by state.db / kanban.db breaks
# silently — /resume, /title, /history, /branch, kanban dispatcher, etc.
#
# Instead, fall back to ``journal_mode=DELETE`` (the pre-WAL default) which
# works on NFS.  Concurrency drops — concurrent readers are blocked during
# a write — but the feature works.
