new NixOS module option services.hive-c0re.operatorPronouns
(free text, default 'she/her', example 'they/them'). hive-c0re
takes it as a CLI flag (--operator-pronouns, lib.escapeShellArg'd
in the systemd unit), stores it on Coordinator, threads it into
the meta flake's mkAgent so each agent's systemd service gets
HIVE_OPERATOR_PRONOUNS set. the harness reads the env at boot
and substitutes {operator_pronouns} into the agent / manager
system prompt alongside {label}. nix string is escaped against
backslash + double-quote so non-ascii / quoted values
round-trip safely. prompt addendum: both agent.md and
manager.md mention the operator's pronouns up front so claude
uses them naturally in third-person reference. propagates on
next ↻ R3BU1LD (meta lock bump, no per-agent approval).
crash_watch fires ContainerCrash whenever it sees a previously-
running container in a non-running state without a transient
flag set. dashboard rebuilds already set Rebuilding via
lifecycle_action; the two other rebuild paths didn't:
- migrate::repoint_container: phase 4 walks every container,
each nixos-container update activation briefly takes the
systemd unit down. previously fired ContainerCrash for every
agent during the migration; manager would then spuriously
call start() on agents that were already coming back up.
- auto_update::rebuild_agent: startup scan + admin-socket
caller bypass lifecycle_action.
both paths now set the Rebuilding transient around the rebuild
+ clear after. matches what dashboard does.
auto_update::run now calls meta::lock_update_hyperhive once
up-front so the per-agent rebuilds it kicks off rebuild against
the new base. lifecycle::rebuild already drives sync_agents +
lock_update_for_rebuild per agent, so the rev-marker shortcut
keeps its meaning ('we've ack'd this rev for this agent')
without further plumbing. failures of the hyperhive lock bump
log + continue — individual rebuilds will surface concrete
errors if anything's really wrong.
approval grows fetched_sha (canonical hive-c0re-vouched sha,
distinct from manager-supplied commit_ref). helperevent
{approvalresolved,spawned,rebuilt} grow optional sha + tag so
the manager can git-show the exact tree it's hearing about
(against the upcoming /agents/<n>/applied.git RO mount) and
know which terminal tag landed. all serde-defaulted; existing
construction sites pass none until the tag-driven flow lands.
