Anthony Ruiz ef9341b2ab fix(sqlite): keep state.db readers strictly read-only and stop idle polling
Readers never upgrade to writers. open_state_db_readonly() opens
file:...?mode=ro only; a read-only open failure propagates instead of
silently retrying with a write-capable handle on the multi-GiB WAL
database the agent is streaming into. The session listing no longer
self-heals idx_messages_session with CREATE INDEX (a writer lock held for
minutes on a large messages table) — a missing index degrades to the
pre-aggregated path. Cron sidebar info, insights and deep health checks in
api/routes.py use the same read-only opener.

Watcher (api/gateway_watcher.py): _poll_once returns without touching the
database when nobody is subscribed, and forces a fresh full projection on
the next subscription.

Maintenance (scripts/ensure_state_db_read_indexes.py): the covering read
indexes (idx_messages_session, idx_messages_session_role with NOCASE,
idx_sessions_webui_fingerprint) are created only under --confirm-drained,
optionally holding an exclusive flock on --lock-file for deployments that
serialise agent turns on a lock file; existing indexes are verified for
shape/collation and coverage (EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN), never silently
replaced.

Tests: tests/test_state_db_readonly_readers.py (read-only failure never
retries writable; no poll without subscribers; listing creates no index;
index tool requires drain, is idempotent, works without a lock file and
refuses a held lock; cron sidebar read is mode=ro). Neighbouring tests
that asserted the retired writable fallback / self-heal writer
(test_issue3887_index_prime, test_issue5455_listing_readonly_connection,
test_issue5455_lineage_readonly_reads, test_issue2628_cli_sessions_perf,
test_issue1494_state_db_fd_leak) now assert the read-only contract;
test_issue3506 subscribes before polling.

"""Regression tests for #3887 — defensive index prime for the sidebar scan.
The sidebar's CLI-session scan (``read_importable_agent_session_rows``) orders
candidate sessions by a correlated ``MAX(mx.timestamp)`` subquery over the
``messages`` table. That is fast only when the agent's standard
``idx_messages_session ON messages(session_id, timestamp)`` index exists. A
state.db that lost its migrations (older hermes-agent, or a hand-rebuilt /
reimported db) has no such index and the scan degrades to a full ``messages``
scan per candidate session — stalling ``/api/sessions`` for seconds on every
refresh.
These tests assert the intent (the index is primed when missing so the listing
self-heals) and the cross-cell isolation (the prime is a no-op when the index
already exists, is skipped when the schema lacks the columns, and degrades
silently on a read-only db without ever failing the listing).
