hivectl: wireguard mesh setup verbs (#1756)

One-time-setup convenience for the inter-hive WireGuard mesh
(services.hyperhive.swarm) so nobody has to remember the wg dance:

- hivectl wg init [--address X] — generate (if absent) the hive's
  private key at /etc/wireguard/hive.key (0400, never clobbered),
  derive + print the public key, and print the swarm.wireguard nix
  snippet to enable the mesh.
- hivectl wg peer <domain> --pubkey --address [--endpoint] — print the
  swarm.peers.<domain> nix snippet to add a remote hive.
- hivectl wg status — wrap wg show wg-hive.

Hybrid model per the design: the verb owns the imperative state (the
key file), the operator pastes the printed nix into host config (kept
in git) — nothing mutates declarative config behind their back.
hivectl-only (root host ops, like the gateway htpasswd verbs); no
priv/wire/c0re changes.

flake: wrap hivectl with wireguard-tools on PATH so wg resolves even
before the mesh config (which would otherwise pull it in) exists —
wg init is the first setup step. Add clippy.toml doc-valid-idents for
the WireGuard proper noun. Regenerate hivectl-cli.md.

## `hivectl wg`
WireGuard inter-hive mesh setup helpers (`services.hyperhive.swarm`).
One-time-setup convenience so nobody has to remember the `wg` dance: `wg init` generates + stores this hive's private key and prints the public key plus the nix snippet to enable the mesh; `wg peer` prints the snippet to add a remote hive; `wg status` wraps `wg show`. The verbs own the imperative state (the key file); the printed nix goes into the operator's host config (kept in git), so nothing here mutates declarative config behind the operator's back.
**Usage:** `hivectl wg <COMMAND>`
###### **Subcommands:**
* `init` — Generate (if absent) this hive's WireGuard private key, print its public key, and print the nix snippet to enable the mesh. Idempotent: an existing key is reused, never clobbered (clobbering would break a live mesh). Share the printed public key with peer hives
* `peer` — Print the nix snippet to add a peer hive to the mesh. Pure output — paste it into this hive's config. Get `<pubkey>` from the peer's `hivectl wg init`
* `status` — Show the live mesh interface state (`wg show wg-hive`). Requires the mesh to be enabled + up
## `hivectl wg init`
Generate (if absent) this hive's WireGuard private key, print its public key, and print the nix snippet to enable the mesh. Idempotent: an existing key is reused, never clobbered (clobbering would break a live mesh). Share the printed public key with peer hives
**Usage:** `hivectl wg init [OPTIONS]`
###### **Options:**
* `--address <ADDRESS>` — This hive's mesh address (e.g. `10.42.0.1/32`) to bake into the printed snippet. Omit to get a placeholder you fill in
## `hivectl wg peer`
Print the nix snippet to add a peer hive to the mesh. Pure output — paste it into this hive's config. Get `<pubkey>` from the peer's `hivectl wg init`
**Usage:** `hivectl wg peer [OPTIONS] --pubkey <PUBKEY> --address <ADDRESS> <DOMAIN>`
###### **Arguments:**
* `<DOMAIN>` — Peer hive's DNS domain (the `swarm.peers` attrset key)
###### **Options:**
* `--pubkey <PUBKEY>` — Peer's WireGuard public key (from its `hivectl wg init`)
* `--address <ADDRESS>` — Peer's mesh address (e.g. `10.42.0.2/32`)
* `--endpoint <ENDPOINT>` — Peer's `host:port` endpoint (omit for a peer that only dials out, e.g. one behind NAT — it must set an endpoint pointing back here)
## `hivectl wg status`
Show the live mesh interface state (`wg show wg-hive`). Requires the mesh to be enabled + up
**Usage:** `hivectl wg status`
## `hivectl choom`
Open an interactive Claude session inside an agent container.
