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.
