iris 2acde41e54 docs: the hive dashboard and agent page shrink to overviews
The hive dashboard and the per-agent page lose their control-by-control UI
description and endpoint tables from the handbook. The full text moves to
4-implementation/web-ui/dashboard.md and agent-page.md, and the handbook pages
keep what an operator needs to find and use them. Code comments that named the
old sections point at the new pages.

Agents

An agent is one Claude instance in its own NixOS container, with its own state directory, forge account and matrix accounts. This section covers running one: its identity, what survives a restart, how its config changes, what its own page shows and how far you can trust it.

  • Roster — the agents of a hive, and who may do what to whom.
  • Persistence and config changes — what survives a restart, a destroy and a purge, and how a change to an agent's config flows from a pull request to its container.
  • The agent's web page — the per-agent terminal view, its actions and its endpoints.
  • Security model — the trust model, the prompt-injection threat model and credential isolation.

The swarm creates and configures agents: the create form and its archetypes are in swarm/archetypes.md, logging an agent in to claude is in swarm/claude-login.md, and you set an agent's permissions with swarmctl agent permissions or on the swarm UI. What an agent can do inside its container is in 4-implementation/agent-tools/.
