stephenschoettler/hermes-lcm v0.16.0 on GitHub

Highlights

Makes doctor/status output better at distinguishing normal long-running session fragmentation from data-loss or corruption risk.
Adds externalized payload reference integrity checks so missing payload files become visible before operators need recovery.
Aligns summary timeout and summary-quality diagnostics with the effective Hermes runtime configuration.
This is a read-only diagnostics release. It surfaces evidence and guidance, but does not mutate stores or repair payloads automatically.

Added lifecycle fragmentation classification with bounded samples and guidance for stale lifecycle refs, retained LCM sessions, and host-only sessions (#230).
Added read-only externalized payload reference integrity reporting for /lcm doctor and lcm_doctor, including missing and unreferenced payload files (#231).
Shared command/tool diagnostic helper logic so /lcm doctor and lcm_doctor resolve state paths and fragmentation warnings consistently (#232).
Read Hermes auxiliary.compression.timeout as the default summary timeout when LCM_SUMMARY_TIMEOUT_MS is unset, and exposed summary_timeout_ms in lcm_status (#233).
Added summary_quality diagnostics for suspiciously tiny summaries from large source payloads (#233).
Bumped release identity files and tests for v0.16.0 (#234).

Bounded context, unbounded memory. Nothing is ever lost.
