Both fixes close process leaks observed in production (18+ orphaned
agent-browser node daemons, 15+ orphaned paste.rs sleep interpreters
accumulated over ~3 days, ~2.7 GB RSS).
## agent-browser daemon leak
Previously the orphan reaper (_reap_orphaned_browser_sessions) only ran
from _start_browser_cleanup_thread, which is only invoked on the first
browser tool call in a process. Hermes sessions that never used the
browser never swept orphans, and the cross-process orphan detection
relied on in-process _active_sessions, which doesn't see other hermes
PIDs' sessions (race risk).
- Write <session>.owner_pid alongside the socket dir recording the
hermes PID that owns the daemon (extracted into _write_owner_pid for
direct testability).
- Reaper prefers owner_pid liveness over in-process _active_sessions.
Cross-process safe: concurrent hermes instances won't reap each
other's daemons. Legacy tracked_names fallback kept for daemons
that predate owner_pid.
- atexit handler (_emergency_cleanup_all_sessions) now always runs
the reaper, not just when this process had active sessions —
every clean hermes exit sweeps accumulated orphans.
## paste.rs auto-delete leak
_schedule_auto_delete spawned a detached Python subprocess per call
that slept 6 hours then issued DELETE requests. No dedup, no tracking —
every 'hermes debug share' invocation added ~20 MB of resident Python
interpreters that stuck around until the sleep finished.
- Replaced the spawn with ~/.hermes/pastes/pending.json: records
{url, expire_at} entries.
- _sweep_expired_pastes() synchronously DELETEs past-due entries on
every 'hermes debug' invocation (run_debug() dispatcher).
- Network failures stay in pending.json for up to 24h, then give up
(paste.rs's own retention handles the 'user never runs hermes again'
edge case).
- Zero subprocesses; regression test asserts subprocess/Popen/time.sleep
never appear in the function source (skipping docstrings via AST).
## Validation
| | Before | After |
|------------------------------|---------------|--------------|
| Orphan agent-browser daemons | 18 accumulated| 2 (live) |
| paste.rs sleep interpreters | 15 accumulated| 0 |
| RSS reclaimed | - | ~2.7 GB |
| Targeted tests | - | 2253 pass |
E2E verified: alive-owner daemons NOT reaped; dead-owner daemons
SIGTERM'd and socket dirs cleaned; pending.json sweep deletes expired
entries without spawning subprocesses.
