Address state.db corruption and npm vulnerabilities

No reply: the turn was stopped because the state database reported structural corruption (the transcript would have been lost on restart). Freeing disk space will not help. Recovery options: 1. Run hermes doctor --fix 2. Salvage with: sqlite3 ~/.hermes/state.db ".recover" (then replace state.db) 3. Restore from a backup in ~/.hermes/backups/ Then send your message again.

Found 3 issue(s) to address: 1. state.db FTS write corruption and auto-repair failed — restore from the backup copy beside state.db 2. Browser tools (agent-browser) has 1 npm vulnerability 3. web workspace has 2 npm vulnerabilities

Let me investigate the state.db corruption first — that's the critical one.

The malformed-backup is a copy of the same corrupt DB, and there's no backups dir. So option 3 (restore from backup) is out. Let me try the `.recover` salvage path.

The `.recover` started but hit a disk I/O error. Disk has 36G free, so it's not space. Let me try recovering to a file and check filesystem health.

Disk I/O error (10) on read — this is a physical read failure, not just logical corruption. Let me check the filesystem health and try to salvage what's readable.

No kernel I/O errors logged. Let me check the filesystem and try to copy the DB to see if the read failure is localized.

The copy succeeded — the file is readable at filesystem level. The sqlite disk I/O error may be from the WAL/SHM interaction. Let me test the copy.

The copy is readable — the disk I/O error on the original was from the WAL/SHM state. The corruption is logical (FTS index tree). Let me salvage the copy.
