hyperhive/hive-priv-sock/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.

# hive-priv-sock
Wire types for the **`hive-priv` privileged-helper socket**
(`/run/hive/priv.sock`) — the contract between `hive-priv` (the root helper,
server) and `hive-c0re` (client, via its `priv_client`).
## Why it's its own crate
Split out of `hive-sh4re` so `hive-priv` — a **root-privileged** binary —
depends on just this narrow protocol crate instead of the much larger
daemon-shared crate. Two wins: fewer dependencies in a root process's supply
chain, and a small, self-contained interface makes the privilege boundary this
crate encodes easier to audit. Mirrors `hive-host-sock`'s split for the host
admin socket.
## Shape
Serde-derived request/response types only — no server or client logic. Both
sides import them so the shapes stay in sync. See `docs/2-handbook/hives/boundary.md` +
`docs/4-implementation/trust-boundary/hive-c0re-privilege.md` for the privilege boundary these types sit on, and
`hive-priv/README` for the helper itself.
