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.
Both pollers wait about ten minutes for the agent's token, then exit 0.
Under Restart=on-failure that exit is final, and nothing started them
again, so a token minted or placed after the window left the agent
without notifications until its container restarted.
Add a path unit per poller with PathChanged on the token file(s) the
poller reads, the shape forge-avatar-sync already uses. A path unit
starts its service only when it is not running, so a poller that found
its token is untouched. The github path unit is gated on
github.enable like its service.
Container-side: it ships with the agent's next rebuild, and an agent on
an older rev keeps the old behaviour.
Closes#6179
the page picked the top-level hyperhive attr, which stopped existing when the
agent namespace moved under services.hyperhive.agent, so it rendered no
options. the pick now uses the new root and asserts model, user.privateUsers
and nixBuilds are present. the acp preset submodule options get the
descriptions the now-rendered page requires.
Closes#6136
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.
Only "No value found at" and a 403 mean the token is not minted yet and
exit 0. Any other failure exits 1 so the restart policy and store-retry
apply. The token file stays untouched either way.
Closes#6089
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.
the agent's own root unit reads swarm/agents/<agent>/backend-env into /run and
creates it from backendEnvironmentFile with -cas=0 when the store holds nothing.
the shared agent policy gains create (not update) on that one leaf. the harness
and the subagent daemon load the old file first and the fetched one after it.
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.
Refs #4857
hive-c0re's render_flake and the pieces it needs (AgentSpec, AgentPin,
pinned_git_url, the forwarded-var tables, canonical_inputs_in_lock) move
into a new crate with no IO. The forwarded values and the GitHub switch
are now arguments; hive-c0re passes what it read from its own unit env,
as before. Nothing changes on deploy: the rendered flake is byte-for-byte
the same, and hive-c0re's render tests pass unchanged.
Refs #4857
Every agent now connects to the queue and reads logs with its own secret
from the store (#5181), so the per-hive `hive-<h>-agent` OIDC client has
no reader left. Remove it end to end:
- hive-c0re no longer forwards `hive-queue-agent-{secret,client-id}` into
containers, and no longer forwards HIVE_AGENT_OIDC_TOKEN_ENDPOINT; the
agent module that loaded them (nix/agent-modules/queue.nix) is gone, its
options refused with a removal message.
- The host reader (glue-queue-agent-credential.nix, swarm-bao-queue-agent),
its store role and policy unit (swarm-bao-queue-agent-policy), its PKI
leaf and the deploy.bao.queueAgent* / queue.agentCredentialDir options
are gone; the options are refused with a removal message.
- authelia mints no `hive-<h>-agent` client, and swarm-secret-publish no
longer writes swarm/hives/<h>/queue/agent.
- swarm-secret-client drops queue::agent_client_path / queue::Credential.
- HIVE_AGENT_NATS_URL is now gated on the agents' queue address alone.
The log store's authelia check stays for operators. swarm-nats-auth still
refuses a `-agent` client id; that refusal and `agentClientSuffix` are left
for a follow-up.

Refs #4765
A set HYPERHIVE_CLAUDE_CODE_PATH whose build is gone (collected after a
bump while the container still holds the old facts) made the wrapper
run the container's own claude-code silently, which can be a different
version. It now prints one line naming the missing path.
Refs #4857
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
These three are per-host choices that hive-c0re reads and renders into
its agents, so they belong under the hive controller's deploy namespace
rather than swarm-wide:
- c0re.dashboardPort -> deploy.hive-controller.dashboardPort
- c0re.claudeCodePackage -> deploy.hive-controller.claudeCodePackage
(the claude-login and review-classifier containers on the same host
keep following it)
- otel.extraResourceAttributes -> deploy.hive-controller.otel.extraResourceAttributes
The old paths stay as mkRenamedOptionModule aliases, now in deploy.nix
with the namespace's other renames. github.enable and the collector port
stay swarm-wide.
Five host options whose values hive-c0re renders into every agent's
build move under services.hyperhive.swarm, so the swarm states each of
them once instead of every hive carrying its own copy:
c0re.dashboardPort -> swarm.dashboardPort
c0re.claudeCodePackage -> swarm.claudeCodePackage
github.enable -> swarm.github.enable
otel.collector.port -> swarm.hiveOtel.collectorPort
otel.extraResourceAttributes -> swarm.hiveOtel.extraResourceAttributes
Every old path is a mkRenamedOptionModule alias, so a host that sets one
keeps its value and gets an eval warning naming the new path. Types and
defaults are unchanged, so the rendered meta flake, serve.json and
hive-c0re's environment are the same as before on a host that sets
none of them.
The readers move with them: serve.json and its gc-root assertion, the
hive-c0re environment, the hive collector's listen address and bridge
port, the swarm collector's port-collision assertion, and the
claude-login and review-classifier containers' claude pin. The
swarm-services-switch fixture sets the swarm path and now also checks
that serve.json carries the pinned claude.
Part of #4857 (slice 2).
swarm-metrics reads the swarm's VictoriaMetrics from inside an agent
container: query, query-range, series, labels and label-values, each one
GET against the store's Prometheus read API through the gateway, printing
the store's JSON. It authenticates the way swarm-logs does, with the
agent's own queue secret read from bao under the agent's leaf, sent as
a swarm-agent bearer.
On the metrics store's host the read API's auth map gains an agent arm
ahead of the Grafana one. It routes to swarm-metrics-agent-auth, a
swarm-logs-auth instance logged in under the existing swarm-metrics-auth
leaf, whose bao grant now includes swarm/agents/+/queue read. The check is
rate-limited per address like the log store's
(deploy.victoriametrics.agentAuth{Rate,Burst,VerdictTtl}).
nix/agent-modules/metrics.nix installs the wrapped binary when the hive
forwards HIVE_AGENT_METRICS_URL (from swarm.victoriametrics.domain) and a
store address, the same gate as swarm-logs. Adds the base:swarm-metrics
skill and the CLI reference with its freshness check.
Fixes#5395
Delete nix/templates/ruth.nix, the ruth nixosConfiguration, module and
toplevel, the hive-c0re managerToplevel option, and the meta flake's
isManager switch with lifecycle::MANAGER_NAME. Every agent, ruth
included, now builds from nix/templates/agent.nix. The template's only
content beyond agent.nix was docs.enable = mkDefault true; docs.enable
is off by default for every agent and ruth's own agent.nix turns it on.
Refs #5377
Both are ignored with a warning through the same shim, now
nix/host-modules/hive-options-removed.nix.
- otel.metricIntervalMs: claude in every agent and hive-c0re's
container-resource exporter run at the 60s default. The agent-level
services.hyperhive.agent.otel.metricIntervalMs, set only by the meta
render, goes too (warning shim in nix/agent-modules/otel-removed.nix).
- otel.debug: services.hyperhive.agent.otel.debug stays, documented and
set in an agent's own config; the meta render no longer emits it.
Both options are now ignored with a warning (the swarm-peers-removed.nix
shape), so a host that still sets one keeps evaluating.
- operatorPronouns: the agents' system prompt names the pronouns as
she/her, the value the harness fell back to and the option's default.
The --operator-pronouns flag, HiveEnv field, meta-flake let binding
and HIVE_OPERATOR_PRONOUNS env var are gone.
- contextWindowTokens: the per-family defaults (haiku 200000, sonnet
1000000, opus 1000000) move into hive-agent's harness_state as a
table; the window the API reports after a turn still wins. The
--context-window-tokens flag, HiveEnv field and the rendered
HIVE_CONTEXT_WINDOW_TOKENS_<KEY> env vars are gone.
start_manager bound the same path register_agent binds. The migrate branch, hive-priv-sock::MANAGER_NAME and MANAGER_CONTAINER were no-ops or dead. The send allow-list docs promised a manager exemption the code never had. Tests that used ruth as the manager fixture use plain names.
mara on #5170: "dont split caps and perms. its all perms. / dont include
the now empty tool groups / nothing set -> default / also add perms to
agent creation screen".
- hive-sh4re: one `Permission` enum (messaging, meta, inbox, execution,
web_tools, manage_root_agent) replaces `ToolGroup` and `Capability`;
`lifecycle`/`forge` are gone. `Permission::default_for` is the default
for an agent the swarm sets nothing for.
- The record is `{ "permissions": [...] }`. Missing key, unset field or
no successful read yet = default; `[]` = none; a failed read after a
good one keeps the last value.
- hive-agent reads its own key every 10s and builds each turn's --tools,
--allowedTools and MCP config (rewritten before every turn) from it;
the subagent daemon reads it on each start/continue. Agents get a
read-only grant on their own key.
- hive-c0re restarts an agent only when its manage_root_agent changes.
The import now merges meta/capabilities.json and meta/tool-groups.json
into one list per agent and deletes both; the "import pending, don't
read" decision is `ImportOutcome::read_allowed`, table-tested.
- swarm-controller: `GET /api/permissions` (names + default) and an
optional `permissions` on `POST /api/agents`, stored before the job is
queued. swarm-ui's create-agent form gets a permissions field.
- Deleted: HIVE_TOOL_GROUPS and its forward to the subagent daemon,
tool_groups.rs, ruth's tool-group seed, the permissions rebuild job
(PermPayload/WritePermFile/perm_change), the dashboard permissions tab
and its stale-entries panel.
Part of #5170.
