## Hive identity (label + domain + display names)
Four env vars cover the identity surface, read by
`hive_ag3nt::identity`:
- `HIVE_LABEL` — short, hive-local agent label (`iris`,
`damocles`). `label()` returns it; falls back to empty string if
the env var is missing so downstream callers can decide how to
surface "unknown agent" rather than getting a panic from this
module.
- `HYPERHIVE_HIVE_DOMAIN` — the hive's canonical DNS domain (e.g.
`darkest.space`), set by `hive-c0re.nix` from
`services.hyperhive.domain`. When configured, `qualified_label()`
returns `${label}@${domain}` (e.g. `iris@darkest.space`); when
unset (single-hive deployments, dev/test) it degrades to just
the short label so existing callers see no change. The
qualified form surfaces in the per-agent web UI title, the
system-prompt template, and `/api/state.qualified_label`.
- `HYPERHIVE_HIVE_NAME` — human display name of this hive
(`pr1ma`). Read by `hive_name()`; `None` when unset.
- `HYPERHIVE_SWARM_NAME` — human display name of the wider swarm
this hive belongs to (`constellat1on`). Read by `swarm_name()`;
federated hives at different DNS domains can share a swarm
name.
`hive_name` + `swarm_name` are **distinct** from
`HYPERHIVE_HIVE_DOMAIN`: the domain may carry the hive name as
its leftmost label by convention, but the convention isn't
machine-readable, and federated hives at different DNS domains
can share a swarm name. Humans want both: the address
(`@darkest.space`) AND the prose name (`pr1ma`). Matrix MXIDs
still use the domain-based convention untouched.
`qualify(label)` is the same shape as `qualified_label()` but
applies to an arbitrary label the caller already has (e.g. a peer
name from the broker); it's the right surface when rendering a
peer's name when the caller knows it's hive-local.
