hyperhive/hivectl/README.md
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.

# 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.
