All new installs come with this optimization by default. The reason for the command needing to run on big DBs is because it can take a while, and we dont want anybody confused. <1GB it takes just ~14s, one time only.
A new era of efficiency for your chat sessions in Hermes Agent. Our latest optimization will reduce database size on your disk by upwards of 78% and on average ~60%. For those with databases <1GB, your one time optimization transition will trigger automatically. If your database is larger, run the following command once after updating: `hermes sessions optimize-storage` It will silently process the transition in the background while you keep working. Enjoy!
Confirmed. PR #65798 (merged Jul 16) ships it as hermes sessions optimize-storage — registered as a sessions subparser in hermes_cli/main.py:14866-14867, dispatched at line 15675, with --no-vacuum and --yes/-y flags. The nudge text and interrupted-run resume message both print that exact string too. Note there's also a separate, older hermes sessions optimize (plain FTS merge + VACUUM, from the closed #34074 lineage) — different command, don't conflate the two.
