build_meta, the build of each agent from internal/meta before a deploy, now
writes its result into the same list as the config PR builds: the agent, the
internal/meta commit, how it ended and what nix printed. The builds card titles
them by agent and shows them with the PR builds.
The builds tab is gone from the nav; its card sits below the jobs card on
/jobs. The swarm-builder commit status now links to /jobs?run=<id>, and the old
/builds address redirects there with its query so links already on PRs still
open the build. Docs and the link test follow.
/builds lists the builder's recent builds newest first, one card each with how
it ended, and opens a failed build's nix tail. /builds?run=<id> opens that
build's card and scrolls to it. The swarm-builder commit status now links
there instead of to the raw JSON record.
argus's review on #5177: the git credential helper answered every `get`,
so a config PR's own flake inputs could have git send the builder's forge
token to any host. The helper is now configured under
`credential.<forge-url>.helper` and itself answers only an https request
whose host is the forge's; a test runs it as git does and checks that
other hosts, http and non-get operations get nothing.
Builds are bounded: every `build_agent` node needs the one `builder` jobq
resource, so one runs at a time and the rest wait pending, and a newer
head cancels its PR's pending build (a running one finishes and writes on
its own commit). The builder also holds a one-permit semaphore around each
build.
`builder` and `review-classifier`, the forge logins swarm-controller owns,
join nix/reserved-names.nix, with a test tying the list to both constants.
The builder is now opt-in like the CI runner: `allSwarmServices` no longer
turns it on, since it runs unreviewed config PRs through the host's nix
daemon. mara had not answered atlas's question on the PR.
A new `swarm-builder` service, in its own container on the host that sets
`deploy.builder.enable` (defaulted on by `allSwarmServices` where the host
has the builder's store leaf, like the review classifier).
When an `agent-configs/<agent>` PR is opened, reopened or synchronized,
swarm-controller queues a `build_agent` jobq node. The node sets a
`swarm-builder` commit status to pending on the PR head, sends
`{agent, rev, pr}` to the builder over NATS request-reply
(`$SWARM.builder.build`), and writes success (store path), failure (last
line nix printed) or error (no builder / no reply) on the head. The node
fails when the build does, so the Jobs page matches the PR.
The builder builds nix/builder/check-flake's `check` with every input
overridden: hyperhive and nixpkgs to the host's own
`c0re.hyperhiveFlake`/`c0re.nixpkgsFlake` (what a hive there renders into
its meta flake), and the agent to the PR head on the forge. Evaluation is
pure and runs in the container; builds go to the host nix daemon as an
untrusted client. The private config repo is fetched with the token of a
new read-only `builder` forge account (in the `hives` team), which the
controller mints into `swarm/services/builder/forge/token`; git gets it
from a credential helper reading the child's environment, so it is in no
argument or URL.
Credentials: a `builder` store leaf minted by glue-bao-tls on the store
host, a `swarm-builder` reader policy (forge token + its own OIDC client
secret), an authelia machine client, and a `--builder-client` grant in the
queue's auth-callout responder. The controller gains a grant on the token
path and the secret publisher a deny on it.
This is the agent-config build check atlas scoped on #5081 (slice 3):
nothing is pushed to a cache, nothing is written to KV, and a red status
gates no deploy. The check composes agent-base + the config without the
values a hive adds (CA, docs, claude-code path, ports, input follows), so
it can disagree with a hive's own build.
