`sqlite3.Connection.__exit__` commits/rollbacks but does NOT close the
underlying FD. `with kb.connect() as conn:` in long-lived processes
(gateway `run_slash`, dashboard `decompose_task_endpoint`) therefore
leaks one FD to `kanban.db` per call. After enough operations the
gateway dies with `[Errno 24] Too many open files` (~4 days uptime
in the production report — #33159).
Fix: add a `connect_closing()` context manager in `hermes_cli/kanban_db`
that wraps `connect()` with a real `try/finally: conn.close()`. Switch
the 42 leak-prone call sites in `hermes_cli/kanban.py` (35),
`hermes_cli/kanban_decompose.py` (4), and `hermes_cli/kanban_specify.py`
(3) over to it.
`kanban.py` matters because `run_slash` (called from the gateway for
every `/kanban` slash command) parses argparse and dispatches to those
`_cmd_*` functions in-process — each one was leaking one FD per
invocation.
Tests inside `tests/` are untouched: short-lived processes where OS
cleanup masks the leak. Regression tests added in
`test_kanban_db.py` cover both happy-path and exception-path closure,
plus an explicit assertion that bare `with kb.connect()` still does
NOT close (documenting the upstream sqlite3 behaviour we're working
around).
Closes#33159.
