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.

hivectl
The operator-facing host CLI. A thin client for the hive-c0re
daemon — speaks the host admin socket protocol (hive-host-sock) and
does not link the daemon crate. Container lifecycle and the
gateway verbs all forward to the daemon and need it running; a few (wg/peer-config, choom) work off local
host state instead.
When to use it
Reach for this crate when adding an operator-run host command — agents
talk to the daemon over their own MCP tool surface
(hive-agent-mcp), not this binary. hivectl is what a human operator
(or a host-side script) runs.
Shape
One module per subcommand family; main.rs is just the clap parse +
dispatch:
agents.rs— container lifecycle for an EXISTING agent (start/stop/kill/rebuild/restart/…); creation is swarm-level (swarmctl agent create).dag_progress.rs— rebuild-queue progress rendering.power.rs— restart/start/stop at the container level.choom.rs— drop into an interactive claude session in a container.wg.rs— WireGuard mesh helpers.subvol.rs— btrfs state-subvolume ops.quota.rs,util.rs,completions.rs— shared helpers and shell completions.
