The page says who is on the roster, who may reach whose state and that the
manager is a normal agent. How topology.json is read and rebuilt, the wire
protocol and the prompt blocks move to 4-implementation/agent-state/roster.md,
unchanged, since the code they describe still exists.
system.md carries {{ label }}-style variables and an {% if not archetype %} block in place of the config:repo / config:archetype marker pairs, so prompt.rs drops its line filter, marker parsers and string replaces. The rendered prompt is byte for byte the old one for a custom agent, an archetype agent and an empty archetype name, with and without hive, swarm, docs and operators. hive-template now drops a block tag's own line.
The operator parts of the persistence and config-changes pages merge into
agents/persistence.md. The sqlite tables, state dirs, mounts and migrations move
to 4-implementation/agent-state/persistence.md, and the deploy path, meta flake,
deploy markers, startup migrations, root container, system messages and
autoupdate move to 4-implementation/agent-state/config-changes.md. Links, code
comments and nix comments that named the old sections point at the new pages.
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.
