feat(nix): the matrix server_name follows the swarm domain too
A swarm runs one homeserver, so its identity belongs to the swarm and
not to whichever hive happens to host it -- otherwise relocating the
container between hives reads as a different homeserver rather than a
move. `gatewayHost` moved for that reason a commit ago; `serverName`
was left behind, which made the identity hive-shaped and the routing
swarm-shaped.
⚠️ This is the one value on the page that a rebuild cannot undo.
`gatewayHost` is a routing detail clients rediscover through
`.well-known`; `server_name` is embedded in every user and room id, so
adopting a new one strands the existing accounts and rooms rather than
renaming them -- their ids still name a homeserver that stops
answering. Moving the DEFAULT is safe; moving a RUNNING deployment is
not, and existing hives must pin the value they already minted ids
under before rebuilding.
The fallback stays total on a null swarm domain for the same reason as
its neighbours: the required-domain assertion in hive-network.nix is
what should fire, not a coercion error from an unrelated option
interpolating null.
The legacy-pin eval probe now covers `serverName` as well. It existed
to answer "what do I set so old deployments don't change", and was
proving that only for the two values that are cheap to change -- the
irreversible one was the one it did not assert.

Matrix `server_name` — the host part of every user ID

Defaults to `services.hyperhive.swarm.domain` (the bare swarm

identity to a single hive's domain would make relocating the

container between hives look like a different homeserver.
|

Combined with the `.well-known/matrix/{client,server}` routes
|

the gateway serves at that domain, clients auto-discover the

actual matrix endpoint without needing a subdomain. Override

here only if you need a different server_name shape (e.g.

`matrix.<domain>` if you want the subdomain split, or

`chat.example.org` for a bespoke hostname).

**Breaking change**: this used to default to
|

`matrix.''${services.hyperhive.domain}`. matrix IDs embed
|
||||
the server_name irrevocably, so existing homeservers must
|
||||
set `services.hyperhive.swarm.matrix.serverName = "matrix.''${services.hyperhive.domain}";`
|

explicitly to preserve their existing user / room IDs

before rebuilding.
|

**Breaking change, and the one on this page that cannot be
|
||||
undone by rebuilding.** This default has now moved twice — from
|
||||
`matrix.''${services.hyperhive.domain}`, then to the bare hive
|
||||
domain, and now to the swarm domain. Every existing homeserver
|
||||
must pin whichever value it already minted ids under, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
services.hyperhive.swarm.matrix.serverName =
|
||||
config.services.hyperhive.domain; # or "matrix.''${…domain}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
before rebuilding. Adopting a new `server_name` does not rename
|
||||
the old users and rooms — it strands them, because their ids
|
||||
still name a homeserver that no longer answers.
