The handbook's sections were agent-lifecycle, integrations, swarm, tools,
trust-boundary and web-ui, which do not follow how the system is built, so a
reader could not tell which layer a page is about. Its pages now sit in
swarm/, hives/ and agents/, with the accounts an agent can hold outside the
system in external-accounts/.
- swarm/: forge, matrix and the knowledge repo join the swarm pages, and so
does the swarmctl reference.
- hives/: the dashboard, hivectl and its reference, and the operator/agent
boundary, with a README that takes over the old web-ui and tools pages.
- agents/: the roster, persistence, config changes, the agent's own web page
(was web-ui/agent) and the security model, with a README.
- external-accounts/: GitHub and GitLab.
Pages are moved whole; none is split yet. Every reference follows: relative
links in the docs, `docs/2-handbook/...` paths in code comments, the nix
checks that regenerate the CLI references and the ignore list, and docs/README.md,
whose handbook section is now by layer.
boundary.md keeps the model, the design rule, why network isolation
matters and host admin socket access; the hive-priv socket activation and
the per-agent socket directory move to 4-implementation/trust-boundary.
security.md keeps the agent trust model and the path-name rule; the nix
builds mode with its threat model, and the hive-c0re privilege separation,
move to their own pages there. Headings and text move as they were, with
one level shaved off the heading depth. Links, code and nix pointers, and
the docs index follow the moves.
Every docs directory moves under 1-getting-started, 2-handbook,
4-implementation or 5-project; the options reference (section 3) comes from
the website and has no directory here. trust-boundary stays whole under the
handbook for now. web-ui, swarm and tools split between handbook and
implementation, and the command-line references move to
2-handbook/reference. Links, path references in code and nix, and the docs
index follow the moves; no page content changes.
nspawn idmaps the store on erofs, which the VM test's store uses; the
allowlist from the store check refused it and failed the namespaced-agent
subtest in vm-nightly #7084. vm-nightly #7030 ran the same agent on the
same erofs store green. The magic is EROFS_SUPER_MAGIC_V1 from the
kernel's linux/magic.h; libc has no constant.
Refs #5888
memory_max and cpu_quota are checked against the shapes systemd takes
before write_resource_limits makes any file. validate_bind_path also
refuses whitespace, control bytes, backslash, dollar and backtick, which
the start script expands unquoted in EXTRA_NSPAWN_FLAGS. bridge must be
an interface name and gateway_ip an IPv4 literal. Each refusal names its
field.
Closes#6086
check_socket_activation and response_of are extracted from socket_listener
and dispatch unchanged, and infra.rs takes a &impl Spawn, so tests run
stand-ins instead of systemctl.
hive-priv applies only the path its last RealiseClosure returned for that agent. On drift the swap and create record the pins of the commit the closure was built from.
A rebuild or create downloads the closure the swarm built and applies it; with none to deploy it fails and changes nothing. hive-priv takes a store path instead of an internal/meta commit and builds nothing.
- clone each file with FICLONE, copy the data only where that fails
- skip the salvage when the copy would leave too little free space
- hold a per-container flock and one copy at a time across containers
- run WriteNspawnFlags on the blocking pool
hive-priv copies a stopped container's root to the agent's work dir and
renames it aside before passing nspawn --ephemeral; the agent's nix state
moves to the persistent profiles bind. Adds the agent-ephemeral-rootfs vm
test and a module-eval case for the nix state redirect.
hive-c0re copies the hive's store read token to /run/hyperhive/forge-hive-token
for nix's git credential helper, and no longer mints, reads or falls back to
the core admin token. drops the core user sweep, avatar upload, webhook
cleanup and hive-priv's RunForgeAdmin.
The hive no longer renders, locks or commits a meta flake. A rebuild's
MetaSync node picks the internal/meta commit and records it with the
hyperhive and config pins it holds; Prebuild, Swap and Create build from it,
and a head that does not pin the agent's current config fails the build
naming the agent. hive-priv's meta_rev is required.
Removed: meta.rs sync/lock/render, the manual-rebuild relock, the boot
sweep's hyperhive bump (MetaLock), the update-meta-inputs form and its
panel, MetaWindow, the hive's hyperhive_rev setting.
Kept: agent_set::refresh holds what sync_agents also did (topology.json, the
gateway's agent-socket map and nginx include), called from spawn, destroy,
rebuild and the migration.
The boot reconcile and the stale-start upgrade compare the agent's marker
with the hyperhive pin of internal/meta; the dashboard's deployed chip reads
the config marker a successful build writes.
A rebuild's MetaSync resolves the head of the swarm's internal/meta once and
records it; the prebuild and the swap build that flake instead of the hive's
own, and a first deploy does the same in Create. hive-priv takes the commit as
a validated meta_rev on UpdateContainer and CreateContainer and builds from its
own forge URL (HIVE_PRIV_FORGE_URL).
The head is used only when its flake lists the agent at the config commit the
forge's main is at; otherwise, and when the repo has no commit or this hive has
no core token file for nix's git, the hive renders locally as before.
hive-c0re's and hive-priv's gitconfig now share the forge credential helper and
rewrite the forge's https URLs to http, which hive-priv lacked.
HIVE_AGENT_NATS_URL now reaches each container in its hive facts, from
the host's deploy.hive-controller.queue.agentNatsUrl, instead of being
rendered into the meta flake. The agent option
services.hyperhive.agent.queue.natsUrl is removed; the harness unit
imports the queue credential whenever the token endpoint is set.
On deploy every agent rebuilds once (the rendered flake loses the
address), and the harness reads the address from the facts file
hive-priv writes before each start.

The timeout kill was sound; the test's liveness probe was not. is_dead
read /proc/<pid>/stat and counted only state Z as dead. While init reaps
a zombie, the task shows state X (EXIT_DEAD) for a few microseconds
before its /proc entry goes away. When the poll loop's first probe saw Z
and the final assert's re-probe landed in that window and saw X, the
test failed at once with "grandchild <pid> outlived the timeout". CI run
#6059 shows this: the hive-priv binary finished in 2.00s, so the 5s poll
never ran.
is_dead now counts X as well, so it is monotone (running, Z, X, gone)
and the re-probe can no longer flip it back to alive. A unit test pins
the Z/X/S/R parsing.
Stress loop: the test binary filtered to this test, 2000 runs, 32 in
parallel, with 8 busy-loop CPU hogs. Before: 4/2000 failed, all with the
CI signature (finished in ~2.01s). After: 0/2000.
The three values that differ per host (deploy.hive-controller.dashboardPort,
claudeCodePackage and otel.extraResourceAttributes) no longer go into the
meta flake. hive-priv writes them into the container's
/etc/hyperhive-hive-facts with the hive name and domain, and the agent
reads them at boot:
- HIVE_DASHBOARD_PORT reaches every unit through the hive-facts generator;
the web UI still defaults to 7000 without it.
- `claude` on PATH is a wrapper that runs HYPERHIVE_CLAUDE_CODE_PATH's
claude when it is there, and the container's own claude-code otherwise.
The host's serve.json keeps gc-rooting the pinned build.
- OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES moves out of the units' Environment= into a
boot-time generator, which appends HYPERHIVE_OTEL_EXTRA_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES.
The agent options services.hyperhive.agent.claudeCodePath (now a removed
option) and otel.extraResourceAttributes go; only the meta render set them.
render_flake takes no HiveEnv any more, so the memory-cap render test and
render_hive_flake_at, which only existed to vary HiveEnv into the render,
go with it.
Refs #4857
No behaviour change: a pure move plus pub(crate) visibility. PrivRequest,
hive-priv-sock and every validation rule are untouched; the 58 tests move
next to the code they test, unchanged.
Why (#5476): the 28 root ops shared one 4.3k-line file, so no op family
could be reviewed on its own and every new root op landed there by default.
main.rs keeps the socket loop and the dispatch table. container (lifecycle),
container_config (nspawn flags, systemd drop-ins, daemon-reload), storage
(btrfs subvolumes, quotas, snapshots, du), files (pause marker, socket dir,
legacy tmpfiles) and infra (gateway nginx, forge admin, infra containers)
each carry their own validation; shared holds the agent-name checks, the
credential-name charset and StagedFile, plus the tests' scratch helpers
(one counter crate-wide, so test dirs stay unique).
hive-priv/README.md is in the diff because it named src/main.rs as the
home of container_flake_action and now describes the module layout.
The forge and matrix containers belong to the services host, not to a
hive. hive-priv's container-name validator still accepted hive-forge and
hive-matrix for WriteNspawnFlags, WriteResourceLimits and
RemoveServiceDropin; hive-c0re only ever sends h-<agent> names there.
- hive-priv-sock/src/lib.rs: drop SIBLING_CONTAINERS, its only user was
the validator, and its test.
- hive-priv/src/main.rs: the validator accepts only h-<name> and returns
the logical name, so write_resource_limits loses its non-h- fallback;
test that all three requests refuse both names.
- hive-priv/README.md, docs/trust-boundary/security.md: the allowlist
no longer lists the forge and matrix.
Fixes#5508
The forge and matrix are swarm services; per mara's ruling on #5475
(shape a) a hive no longer starts, stops or restarts them.
- hive-priv-sock: InfraContainer keeps only Gateway; InfraTarget goes,
service_unit maps the gateway to nginx.service directly. A
ControlInfraContainer naming Forge/Matrix fails to decode.
- hive-host-sock: LifecycleScope drops forge/matrix and refuses unknown
fields, so an older hivectl's --forge is an error rather than an
all-false scope meaning everything.
- hive-c0re: scoped_infra selects only the gateway.
- hivectl: --forge/--matrix removed from stop/start/restart.
- docs: services.md says how the forge and matrix are managed;
security.md, coordinator.md and hivectl-cli.md follow.
- hive-host-sock, hivectl/power.rs: Stop and RestartScoped doc comments name the gateway (host nginx.service), not infra containers.
Part of #5081 (slice S0-1a). An agent's closure no longer depends on the
name or domain of the hive that renders it.
- hive-priv writes /etc/hyperhive-hive-facts (HYPERHIVE_HIVE_NAME,
HYPERHIVE_HIVE_DOMAIN) into the container from the same WriteNspawnFlags
call that writes /etc/hyperhive-bridge-dns. hive-c0re passes the values
from its own unit env. hive-priv refuses a value outside [A-Za-z0-9._-].
- A systemd environment generator in the agent (hive-facts.nix) loads the
file into the container manager's environment, so every unit sees it,
as with the systemd.globalEnvironment entries the render used to emit.
It also builds CLAUDE_REMOTE_CONTROL_SESSION_NAME_PREFIX
(<hive>-<agent>), which left claude's managed settings.
- meta.rs stops forwarding HYPERHIVE_HIVE_{NAME,DOMAIN} and stops setting
services.hyperhive.agent.hiveName. The option is removed (both
spellings now fail with a removal message).
- otel.nix drops the agent's hive= resource label. The swarm collector
upserts hive per authenticated receiver (swarm-otel.nix resource/<h>,
on both the metrics and logs pipelines), so stored series keep it.
The otel first hop, otel enable and the dashboard port are still baked;
they are S0-1b.
Logs live at swarm level now (VictoriaLogs, read through Grafana
Explore). The hive dashboard's own journal viewer goes, with
everything that existed only to serve it:
- frontend: /logs.html, logs.js, logs.css, the H0M3 "Logs" tile and
the per-agent menu's "journal logs ->" link. The build-log list
rules BU1LDS used from logs.css move into builds.css.
- hive-c0re: GET /api/journal/{name} and GET /api/journal-host, and
priv_client::read_container_journal.
- hive-priv / hive-priv-sock: the ReadContainerJournal request, its
JournalQuery/JournalOutput wire types and the journalctl -M executor.
- nix: hive-c0re's systemd-journal supplementary group, whose only
reader was the journal-host handler.
- docs: the L0GS section, the API entry and the security table row.
Closes#5113Closes#3819
hive-c0re waited on hive-priv's answer with no timeout, so a hung
hive-priv would stall the disk sampler indefinitely. The wait is now
hive-priv's own 10 min bound plus a minute (the bound is shared as
MEASURE_AGENT_DISK_TIMEOUT); a timeout is an error, so the agent shows
unknown.
An agent with none of state/, work/ or the rootfs has no measurable
size. hive-priv now answers with an error for it instead of a total of
0, which read as a real measurement.
