the proxy is ready and it has fetched its proxy credential (see _Agents and the
proxy_ below). Any other agent goes straight out through the NAT, as before,

egress yet.

A request without a valid credential gets a 407, once the destination
checks below have passed it.
- **Agents and the proxy.** An agent uses the proxy only when its hive says
this host's squid is ready for it. `hive-c0re` puts two facts in every
container's `/etc/hyperhive-hive-facts`, only on a hive that holds a store
identity: `HIVE_SQUID_PROXY` (`services.hyperhive.squid.listen`, the bridge IP
and port) and `HIVE_EGRESS_NO_PROXY` (the direct hosts below). A hive that
predates them writes neither, and its agents go direct.
`hive-agent-proxy-credential.service` (`nix/agent-modules/egress-proxy.nix`)
runs in each agent's container, as the agent user, at start and every 10
minutes. With both facts present it logs in to the secret store with the
agent's own certificate, reads `swarm/agents/<agent>/proxy-credential` and
writes `/run/hive-agent-proxy-credential/proxy.env` (`0600`) with
`HTTPS_PROXY`, `HTTP_PROXY`, their lower-case forms, `NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1`
and `NO_PROXY`/`no_proxy`. The proxy URL is
`http://<agent>:<credential>@<bridgeIp>:3128`; Claude Code, Node, curl, git
and reqwest send the userinfo as `Proxy-Authorization`. The harness, its bash
tool, the subagents, the MCP servers and the pollers load the file with
`EnvironmentFile=-` when they start. Until the facts and the credential both
exist nothing writes the file, so those units have no proxy variable and go
direct; a failed read keeps the file already in place. Nothing restarts on
deploy: an agent takes the proxy at its next start, which is its next rebuild
or restart. The credential is in the environment of every process those units
start, so `env` in the agent's shell prints it. Login shells
(`nixos-container root-login`, SSH) don't load the file.
- **Direct destinations.** `HIVE_EGRESS_NO_PROXY` is the hosts this agent must
reach without the proxy, and `NO_PROXY` is `localhost,127.0.0.1,::1` followed
by that list. `hive-c0re` computes it from the host's options: the bridge IP,
the hive's domain (`services.hyperhive.domain`), the secret store and queue
names (`services.hyperhive.swarm.bao.domain`, `swarm.nats.domain`),
`services.hyperhive.swarm.serviceDomains` (the swarm UI and controller apex,
the forge, matrix, attic, logs, metrics and otel names) and every name the
gateway answers with the bridge IP (`services.hyperhive.gateway.localNames`).
Squid refuses every destination that resolves to the bridge, and the hive's
resolver answers the bridge address for those names, so they never go through
the proxy. A bare name matches itself and its subdomains. Node's `NO_PROXY`
has no CIDR support, so the list holds the bridge as an address.
- **Two lists.** The credential decides the policy. `hive-c0re` writes a
second file beside the users file, `services.hyperhive.squid.unrestrictedFile`
(`/var/lib/hive-squid/unrestricted`, `hive-core:squid`, `0640`): the names of

To set or replace a key, use **set the API-key environment** in the swarm UI (`PUT /api/hives/{hive}/agents/{agent}/backend-env`): `swarm-controller` overwrites the leaf with its own grant, and the store's value then wins over the file.
