fix: persist DbSessionAdapter metadata across process restarts#1742
Conversation
Managed agents using PraisonDB lost token counts, session history, and compute refs after process restart because set_metadata was in-memory only. Flush metadata on write and reload from the conversation session on read. Co-authored-by: Mervin Praison <MervinPraison@users.noreply.github.com>

🛠️ Refactor suggestion | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Add a real managed-agent restart test for this regression.
The reported failure happens in LocalManagedAgent.resume_session() / _restore_state(), but this only checks DbSessionAdapter with mocks. Please keep this unit regression, but add an integration/e2e test that calls agent.start() with a real prompt, restarts, then resume_session() and asserts both restored state and a real text response.
As per coding guidelines, "Real agentic tests are MANDATORY for every feature: Agent must call agent.start() with a real prompt, call the LLM, and produce actual text response—not just smoke tests of object construction".

Tighten the DB mock so the persistence test actually exercises DbSessionAdapter._conversation_store()
DbSessionAdapter._conversation_store() prefers db.conversation when it’s not None. With a bare MagicMock, mock_db.conversation auto-creates as a truthy MagicMock, so assigning only mock_db._conversation_store = conv can cause the test to hit the wrong branch and never use conv for persistence.
mock_db = MagicMock()
mock_db.on_agent_start.return_value = []
mock_db._conversation_store = convSet mock_db.conversation = None (or use a spec/spec_set so .conversation isn’t fabricated) before assigning mock_db._conversation_store.
Also, the new test directly exercises DbSessionAdapter and doesn’t drive the managed-agent resume path (e.g., LocalManagedAgent.resume_session() / agent.start() with a real prompt + LLM output), which conflicts with the “real agentic tests are MANDATORY for every feature” guideline for src/praisonai-agents/tests/**/*.py.

Deleted sessions can still reload stale metadata.
This helper now persists a ConversationSession row, but delete_session() still only purges messages and the in-memory cache. Since get_metadata() now reads straight from conv.get_session(), a fresh adapter can resurrect metadata for a supposedly deleted session after restart. Please clear or remove the persisted session metadata when deleting the session.

Greptile SummaryThis PR fixes
Confidence Score: 3/5The adapter logic itself is sound, but one of the two new tests will always abort with a ModuleNotFoundError before running a single assertion, and the agent-level resume path it was meant to cover remains untested. The core persistence logic in db_session_adapter.py is well-structured and the primary regression test (test_metadata_survives_adapter_restart) correctly validates the fix. However, the e2e test imports FileConversationStore from a module that does not exist in the repo, so it fails immediately on import and provides no coverage of the LocalManagedAgent.resume_session() path that the PR description specifically claims to fix. Additionally, _conversation_store() calls _init_stores() on every invocation — if the real PraisonAIDB._init_stores is not idempotent this becomes a quiet resource-leak path that is never exercised by the tests. src/praisonai-agents/tests/managed/test_managed_persistence.py — the e2e test needs the import corrected to JSONConversationStore from json_store, and agent2 should actually call resume_session to exercise the intended flow.

ModuleNotFoundError
praisonai.persistence.conversation.file_store does not exist in the codebase — the only file-backed store is JSONConversationStore in praisonai.persistence.conversation.json_store. Running test_managed_agent_metadata_persistence_e2e will immediately raise ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'praisonai.persistence.conversation.file_store', so the test never actually exercises any persistence logic.

_conversation_store() calls _init_stores() unconditionally on every invocation. This method is called from set_metadata, get_metadata, _ensure_session, _purge_persisted_messages, and _purge_persisted_metadata — meaning a single set_metadata + delete_session call pair can trigger _init_stores three or four times. If _init_stores opens database connections or is otherwise not idempotent, this leads to resource leaks. Cache the resolved store instead.

agent2 is constructed but never exercised
agent2 is created but plays no role in the assertions — all checks go through adapter2.get_metadata() directly. The PR description's stated goal is that LocalManagedAgent.resume_session() restores metadata; if agent2.resume_session(session_id) is never called, the test doesn't actually cover that path and will miss regressions in the agent-level restore flow.
Note: If this suggestion doesn't match your team's coding style, reply to this and let me know. I'll remember it for next time!
