From 9b987eefb0a2865a9fd379ff1ac2e54b6fb9156f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wali Reheman Date: Fri, 1 May 2026 13:51:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fix: close previous SessionDB before replacing on cached agent SessionDB WAL handles leak when streaming.py creates a new SessionDB instance per request and replaces the cached agent's _session_db without closing the old one. Each orphaned connection holds 2 FDs (.db + .db-wal), causing FD exhaustion and EMFILE crashes after ~73 messages. Fix: close the previous _session_db before replacing it on cached agents, mirroring the close-before-replace pattern used elsewhere in the codebase. --- api/streaming.py | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) diff --git a/api/streaming.py b/api/streaming.py index 428292c090..03d8f63a17 100644 --- a/api/streaming.py +++ b/api/streaming.py @@ -1883,6 +1883,15 @@ def on_tool(*cb_args, **cb_kwargs): if hasattr(agent, 'clarify_callback'): agent.clarify_callback = _agent_kwargs.get('clarify_callback') if _session_db is not None: + # Close any previously held SessionDB connection before + # replacing it.

The agent's _session_db was dropped on the floor and only released when GC eventually finalized the agent — which on a long-running server may be never (cyclic refs, extension types holding C handles, etc.). Same fix shape as #1421: capture the evicted entry, call _evicted_agent._session_db.close() explicitly. SessionDB.close() is idempotent + thread-safe (with self._lock: if self._conn:), so the double-close-is-benign property still holds. 5 regression tests in test_v050259_sessiondb_fd_leak.py: - Source-level: cached-agent reuse path closes before replace - Source-level: LRU eviction path captures + closes evicted agent - Behavioral: SessionDB.close() is idempotent (3 calls safe) - Behavioral: cached-agent reuse with mock — close called exactly once - Behavioral: LRU eviction with mock — only evicted agent's DB closes Full suite: 3615 passed, 0 failed.
