Summary

Running any agents session command in a fresh clone (before agents init) crashes with a wrapped sqlite3.OperationalError
The CLI advertises a graceful fallback (“Hint: run 'agents init'...”), but the raw exception propagates and the command exits as an INTERNAL 500
Users cannot create, list, or manage sessions until they guess that they must initialize the workspace manually

Steps to Reproduce

Clone cleveragents-core per the isolation protocol and run uv sync
Ensure there is no .cleveragents/ directory in the repo root (fresh clone or temporarily move it aside)
Execute uv run agents session list

Expected Result

Session commands should automatically bootstrap the SQLite data directory or emit the documented hint instructing the user to run agents init
The CLI exits cleanly with actionable guidance

Actual Result

The command raises OperationalError: (sqlite3.OperationalError) unable to open database file
The error is wrapped as Error [500] INTERNAL: An unexpected error occurred and the process exits with status 1, leaving the user stranded

Additional Context

Related to (but distinct from) #6875, which covers project commands; the session command group hits the same crash path
Once uv run agents init is executed (creating .cleveragents/), the session commands succeed as expected

Trace excerpt:

Wrapping unexpected exception: OperationalError: (sqlite3.OperationalError) unable to open database file
(Background on this error at: https://sqlalche.me/e/20/e3q8)
Error [500] INTERNAL: An unexpected error occurred

Environment: uv 0.5.4, Python 3.13.9, repo HEAD (2026-04-10).

## Summary - Running any `agents session` command in a fresh clone (before `agents init`) crashes with a wrapped `sqlite3.OperationalError` - The CLI advertises a graceful fallback (“Hint: run 'agents init'...”), but the raw exception propagates and the command exits as an INTERNAL 500 - Users cannot create, list, or manage sessions until they guess that they must initialize the workspace manually ## Steps to Reproduce 1. Clone `cleveragents-core` per the isolation protocol and run `uv sync` 2. Ensure there is no `.cleveragents/` directory in the repo root (fresh clone or temporarily move it aside) 3. Execute `uv run agents session list` ## Expected Result - Session commands should automatically bootstrap the SQLite data directory or emit the documented hint instructing the user to run `agents init` - The CLI exits cleanly with actionable guidance ## Actual Result - The command raises `OperationalError: (sqlite3.OperationalError) unable to open database file` - The error is wrapped as `Error [500] INTERNAL: An unexpected error occurred` and the process exits with status 1, leaving the user stranded ## Additional Context - Related to (but distinct from) #6875, which covers project commands; the session command group hits the same crash path - Once `uv run agents init` is executed (creating `.cleveragents/`), the session commands succeed as expected - Trace excerpt: ``` Wrapping unexpected exception: OperationalError: (sqlite3.OperationalError) unable to open database file (Background on this error at: https://sqlalche.me/e/20/e3q8) Error [500] INTERNAL: An unexpected error occurred ``` Environment: uv 0.5.4, Python 3.13.9, repo HEAD (2026-04-10). --- **Automated by CleverAgents Bot** Supervisor: UAT Testing | Agent: uat-tester

Issue triaged by project owner:

State: Verified
Priority: Critical — Session CLI crashing on fresh install blocks all session management workflows. The error propagates as a raw exception instead of a graceful user message.
Milestone: v3.2.0 — Session infrastructure is M3 foundation work
MoSCoW: Must Have — Per policy, all bugs are Must Have. This is a critical UX failure on fresh installs.
