The page's composer (its input, slash commands and completion), POST /send in hive-agent, the OperatorMsg request of the agent socket and its handler in hive-c0re, and the broker-error helper only the send route used are deleted: writing to an agent is the swarm UI's terminal. cancel turn, new session and log out stay in the state badge's menu; POST /api/compact stays, with nothing on the page calling it. The request-line limit keeps its size, and its comment says it is a generous bound now. The docs describe the actions in place of the footer and the prompt. |

hive-sock-client
One JSON-line-over-unix-socket client, shared by every daemon that speaks to a hyperhive socket, plus the bounded request-line reader the socket servers share.
The wire protocol is the same everywhere: connect, write one line of JSON, read one line of JSON back. Before this crate existed, five daemons each carried their own copy of that — two of them byte-identical — and the retry, response-handling and error-context behaviour drifted between them.
The crate is generic over the request and response types, so it is protocol-agnostic: the host-served control socket and the harness's in-agent socket both use it, with their own wire-type crates.
Shapes
request/request_retried— write, then decode the response line.request_retriedadditionally reports how many retries it took, for callers (MCP tool handlers) that want to tell the model a socket flake happened so it doesn't retry at the LLM level.notify— write, half-close, drain the response line and discard it. For fire-and-forget ops where the reply carries nothing the caller acts on. The drain is not optional: without it the server's write-back lands on a closed socket.
Server side
read_request_line is the one bounded reader for the request line a
socket server accepts: at most REQUEST_LINE_MAX_BYTES, with optional
LineDeadlines (wait for the first byte, wait for the newline). A server
answers RequestLine::refusal() and closes. hive-c0re uses it on the
host admin socket and the per-agent sockets; hive-agent on
the in-agent socket.
Retry is a policy value, not a fork
Retry::RideOutRestart backs off 2/4/8/16/30s (60s total), sized to ride
out a service restart. It is for callers with no natural retry of their
own — a stall there costs a surfaced tool error and the tokens to handle
it.
Retry::None fails fast. It is for callers already inside a poll loop,
where the poll interval is the retry and a second backoff would only
stack sleeps and delay the rest of the batch.
Two named policies, not a configurable schedule: nobody needs a third yet, and naming them keeps the reason for the choice at the call site.
Error contract
Errors always name the socket path. That detail is load-bearing: a permission problem on a socket that reads as "is the daemon running?" sends the operator to fix the wrong thing.
A refused or missing socket additionally gets a "may be restarting" hint, and an exhausted retry schedule records how long it tried, so a surfaced error reads as the likely transient it usually is.
Serialisation and deserialisation failures are never retried — retrying identical bytes reproduces the same failure. They are raised outside the retry loop, so only connect/IO/short-read failures ever reach it.
