iris 0e84fe8bc4 docs: the handbook follows the three layers: swarm, hives, agents 
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.

README.md

hive-agent

The in-container harness serve-loop binary — one instance per agent. Long-polls the broker inbox and drives one turn per inbox message through hive-runtime, on the agent's runtime (claude --print by default, or an ACP agent). It has one role (agent); the Surface trait + AgentSurface zero-sized type tag keep the turn loop generic and testable for future roles without a parallel copy of the loop.

When to use it

You don't call into this crate from elsewhere — it's the top-level binary systemd starts per agent container. Look here when you need to understand or change: what happens between a message landing in the inbox and the agent's reply, how the harness bootstraps login/auth, how it serves the per-agent web UI, or how turn/event stats get recorded. Architecture detail lives in docs/4-implementation/turn-loop/; this README is just the map of the module tree.

Shape

  • main.rs — the serve loop and the Surface trait; broker calls (inbox poll, ack, send) go through hive-sock-client with hive-core-agent-sock wire types.
  • turn.rs — the turn-loop policy layer: renders the system prompt + MCP config, runs the turn through hive-runtime, classifies the outcome, and feeds the event/turn-stats sinks.
  • login.rs — the Online or NeedsLogin state at boot, and the wait for credentials to arrive (the swarm login stores them).
  • mcp_config.rs — renders the per-turn --mcp-config / --allowedTools blob from the agent's permissions.
  • todos.rs / reminders.rs / todo_server.rs — the harness-local loose-ends v2 stores (sqlite-backed) and the in-agent socket server extra MCP daemons + hive-agent-mcp dial into for todo/reminder ops.
  • vacuum.rs — periodic sqlite vacuum sweep for the harness-local stores.
  • events.rs / turn_stats.rs / stats.rs — append-only event sink and per-turn telemetry recording (context usage, cost, tool favorites) under harness/.
  • prompt.rs — system-prompt renderer (persona + tool docs + environment facts).
  • web_ui/ — the per-agent dashboard (terminal pane, status, schedules) served over the built-in hive-agent web port.
  • paths.rs — canonical path resolution for state/harness dirs and the harness-local sqlite files.

Siblings: hive-agent-mcp (the MCP server this loop points the agent at every turn) and hive-runtime (the library a turn runs through). docs/4-implementation/turn-loop/::Harness binary shape covers all three together.
