> This is a method of the [**Memory**](../classes/Memory) class in the [**memory**](../modules/memory) module.

Close database connections.

Closes only the calling thread's STM/LTM SQLite connections (and the
process-wide MongoDB client, if any). Connections owned by other threads
are left untouched so concurrent agents are not interfered with — each
thread is responsible for calling this before terminating. For full
process shutdown, use the adapter's own bulk-close path.
