atlas 7feef4cc5d nix: openFirewall defaults false across forge/gateway/matrix (#651)
mara on #651: "Dont default openFirewall to true."

Flip the `openFirewall` default from `true` to `false` for all three
modules that expose host-side ports:

- `services.hyperhive.forge.openFirewall` (httpPort 3000 + sshPort 2222)
- `services.hyperhive.gateway.openFirewall` (port 80)
- `services.hyperhive.matrix.openFirewall` (httpPort 8008)

Rationale: secure-by-default. With shared host netns, the host +
every agent container reach these services via `localhost` regardless
of the firewall — the open only matters for access from outside the
host. Operators who want external reach now flip the bool explicitly:

    services.hyperhive.gateway.openFirewall = true;

Each description updated to explain the new default + when to flip
it (operator's browser, external git clients, federation announcement,
etc.). Behind a host-level reverse proxy that handles TLS, leave off.

Verified via `nix eval` on a clean stub config:
- forge openFirewall = false
- gateway openFirewall = false
- matrix openFirewall = false
- networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [] (was: [80 2222 3000 8008])

Note: c0re's direct ports (7000/8000/8100-8999) are gated separately
via #621 on `gateway.enable` — that gate stays; this PR only touches
the per-module `openFirewall` knobs.

Closes #651.

# Private Matrix homeserver (matrix-tuwunel — the official conduwuit
# successor) for hyperhive agents, wrapped in a nixos-container so it
# doesn't fight any existing `services.matrix-*` the operator may
# already run on the host. Same shape as `nix/modules/hive-forge.nix`:
# shared host netns (`privateNetwork = false`) so agents reach it at
# `http://localhost:<httpPort>` (or via the configured server_name
# for federation), nixos-container only here for state + systemd-unit
# isolation.
#
# Container name `hive-matrix` (not `h-*`) so the lifecycle scanner
# ignores it; operator manages via the standard `nixos-container` CLI.
#
# Persistent state at `/var/lib/nixos-containers/hive-matrix/var/lib/
# matrix-tuwunel/` (survives container restart / host reboot). To
# wipe, destroy the container.
#
# Initial rollout (#548): federation enabled (needed for multi-hive
# swarms; trusted_servers starts empty so no actual federation traffic
# leaves until peers are explicitly listed), registration enabled via
# a `registration_token_file` known only to hive-c0re (so agents can't
# self-register without going through the coordinator), e2ee disabled
# per operator call (tracked for follow-up at #551).
#
# Provisioning model (matches `nix/modules/hive-forge.nix` shape):
# hive-c0re generates a 32-byte random `registration_token` on first
# boot, writes it to `/var/lib/hyperhive/matrix-register-token` (mode
# 0600, root-only), and bind-mounts that file read-only into the
# tuwunel container at the same path so tuwunel can read it via
# `registration_token_file`. hive-c0re then uses the token to register
# each agent account via the matrix-spec UIAA registration flow, and
# persists the returned `access_token` to `<agent-state>/matrix-token`
# so the agent's matrix MCP client can authenticate without ever
# seeing the shared registration token.

description = ''
Open `httpPort` in the host firewall. Off by default (#651,
secure-by-default): the homeserver is reachable from the
host + every agent container via `localhost` either way
(shared netns), so the firewall open only matters for
access from outside the host. Flip to `true` when announcing
the homeserver to other hives or when an external matrix
client needs to reach the client-server API directly.
Note: federation (the matrix-spec well-known port 8448) is
intentionally not opened here. tuwunel serves the federation
API on the same `httpPort` as the client-server API by
default; reaching it on 8448 requires either binding tuwunel
to that port explicitly OR a reverse-proxy + `.well-known/
matrix/server` delegation, neither of which lives in this
module. Add that proxy config alongside whatever serves your
dashboard or forge on 443.

gateway is off no one hosts the GUI and the

# host's auto-allocated GID for `tuwunel` (if any) almost

# Ownership: tuwunel inside the hive-matrix container runs as its

# gains read access (no world-readable footgun, per mara). The
