Live incident: memory.vec.upsert.fail {"error":"no such table: vec_memories"}
recurred repeatedly right after restarts, even though ensureReady() is called
immediately beforehand. ensureReady()'s signature-check-then-maybe-recreate
logic (resetForSignature does DROP TABLE IF EXISTS + CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE) is
not synchronized against a concurrent caller's upsertVector/deleteVector -- a
second in-flight memory write that independently decides (from a stale read
of memory_vec_meta) it also needs to reset the table can drop it out from
under another write's insert. Confirmed live: memory_vec_meta showed
vec_loaded=0 for the entire session across many restarts, then flipped to 1
mid-investigation once one attempt finally completed without interruption --
consistent with an intermittent race, not a permanently broken path (verified
the underlying sqlite-vec extension and CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE statement work
correctly in isolation, both on the host and inside the production container).
Rather than chase the exact interleaving (every underlying SQLite call is
synchronous via better-sqlite3, so the race window is narrow and did not
reproduce under simple Promise.all stress tests), makes the write path
resilient to arriving after the table was dropped: on a "no such table"
error, recreate vec_memories from the last-known-good memory_vec_meta
dimension and retry once.

OmniRoute v3.8.29 — 115 commits since v3.8.28. Full CHANGELOG + 41 i18n mirrors. All content quality gates green (build, unit 8/8, vitest 188/188, PR test policy, quality gates extended, docs sync, quality ratchet). Remaining red CI checks are pre-existing release flakes (coverage-shard/integration/node-compat teardown), a new transitive undici advisory in electron devDeps, and a workflow-level CodeQL fail (0 open alerts). VPS-validated by the operator.
Integrated into release/v3.8.8. Applied review fixes: moved the SELECT 1 into a pingDb() db helper (no raw SQL in route, Hard Rule #5) + the 503 catch no longer leaks err.message (Hard Rule #12). Thanks @herjarsa!
