- Around line 71-72: Update the checkpoint-writing flow around fs.writeFile and
fs.rename to flush and synchronize the temporary file before renaming it, then
synchronize the containing directory after the rename where required for durable
rename metadata. Preserve the existing atomic replacement behavior and success
flow.
- Line 68: Update the temporary filename generation in the checkpoint-save flow
around the temp variable to include a cryptographically random suffix or
otherwise exclusively create the temporary file, ensuring concurrent saves
cannot share the same path. Preserve the existing atomic write/rename behavior.
- Around line 63-68: Update KnowledgeBase.writeCheckpoint so checkpoint
filenames remain unique for distinct non-empty session IDs, including IDs that
sanitize to the same safe value; incorporate a collision-resistant encoding or
hash of the original sessionId into target while retaining safe filesystem
naming.
- Around line 65-66: Update the checkpoint directory creation in the surrounding
knowledge-base method to ensure .checkpoints exists with restrictive mode 0o700,
preserving the existing session ID validation and path handling. Use the
directory-creation API’s mode option and ensure the mode is enforced even when
the directory already exists.

Preserve the original session ID identity in the checkpoint filename.
memory_checkpoint_save accepts any non-empty string, including a/b and a?b. KnowledgeBase.writeCheckpoint maps both IDs to a_b, so both calls use .checkpoints/a_b.json. The later fs.rename replaces the earlier checkpoint and can overwrite its transcript. Include a collision-resistant encoding or hash of the original ID in the target filename.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Generate a unique temporary filename.
Two memory_checkpoint_save calls for the same session in the same process and millisecond use the same temp path. Concurrent fs.writeFile calls on that path are unsafe. One call can rename the file while the other still writes, and the other call can then fail with ENOENT or alter the committed checkpoint. Use a cryptographically random suffix or an exclusively created temporary file. (nodejs.org)
Proposed fix
+import { randomUUID } from "node:crypto";

- const temp = `${target}.tmp-${process.pid}-${Date.now()}`;
+ const temp = `${target}.tmp-${process.pid}-${randomUUID()}`;📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Synchronize the checkpoint before reporting success.
fs.writeFile does not flush by default, and the rename only makes the namespace update atomic. A power loss after this method returns can lose the new checkpoint or its rename metadata. Flush the temporary file before rename, then synchronize the containing directory where the supported platform requires it for rename durability. (nodejs.org)

Adds atomic durable transcript checkpoints and exposes memory_checkpoint_save over MCP for Hermes pre-compression safety. Checkpoints are written under the bundle .checkpoints directory with restrictive permissions and atomic rename.
