description	Reference for coven vacuum: rebuild the session event index, run a SQLite integrity check, and compact the local Coven store.

coven vacuum repairs and compacts the local session store (<covenHome>/coven.sqlite3): it rebuilds the full-text event index when needed and runs a SQLite integrity check.

coven vacuum

Coven store: vacuumed (event index rebuilt, integrity ok, path /home/alex/.coven/coven.sqlite3)

Run it when coven sessions search misbehaves or after unclean shutdowns. The command is safe to run while the daemon is stopped; prefer stopping the daemon first for large repairs.

The daemon exposes the same operation as POST /api/v1/store/vacuum, which returns { ok, eventIndexRebuilt, integrityCheck } — see the API reference.

For retention pruning of raw artifacts and old events, see cli-logs.
