swarm-ci-runner, swarm-grafana, swarm-victorialogs: forward each container's journal to the swarm collector

Each container now runs the journal forwarder the queue's and the builder's
containers run, pushing to a receiver of its own on the swarm collector. Each
authenticates as a new machine OIDC client of its own
(swarm.<service>.otel.clientId), registered by a glue file wherever authelia
runs, minted by authelia and published to the store by the secret publisher.
Grafana's browser login client is unchanged.

The fetch unit inside each container reads the client secret with the store
identity the host already holds for that service (the runner's, Grafana's,
and the log store responder's), now also handed into the container as an
nspawn system credential. Each of those three policies gains one read stanza
on its forwarder's client path. The host units that use those identities are
unchanged.

The three containers drop --link-journal=host, and the host collector stops
reading them.

| swarm-services root CA (cert + key) | `swarm-bao.nix`'s granting unit, inside the store's `pki` mount | the **key** never leaves the mount; the **cert** lands at `/var/lib/swarm-bao-services-pki/services-root.pem` (0644) and at `/var/lib/hive-tls/swarm-services-root.pem` on every hive | nothing to copy — every hive receives the cert with the leaf it asks the store for, or from `pki/ca/pem` where it fronts no swarm name and needs a store identity |
| authelia session, JWT and storage-encryption keys | authelia's first-boot unit, in-container | `/var/lib/authelia-swarm/{session,jwt,storage-encryption}.key` | generated in place; nothing outside that container reads them |
| authelia OIDC HMAC key | same unit | `/var/lib/authelia-swarm/oidc-hmac.key` | same |
| authelia OIDC issuer key (RSA) | same unit | `/var/lib/authelia-swarm/oidc-issuer.key` | same — relying parties verify against the **public** half at `/jwks.json` |
| OIDC client secret, plaintext half | `authelia crypto hash generate --random` | `/var/lib/authelia-swarm/oidc-clients/<id>.secret` | operator provides the file and names it in whichever option reads it — `sso.clientSecretFile` for a service; the forge and, by default, the hive collector need none — `swarm-bao-forge-oidc` and `swarm-bao-hive-otel-oidc` fetch it from the store (below) |
| OIDC client secret, digest half | the same mint | `oidc-clients/<id>.digest` | authelia's own half; merged at runtime via `settingsFiles` |
| the swarm collector's copy of its OIDC secret | `swarm-bao-otel-oidc.service` reads it out of the swarm secret store, **on every host that runs the collector and holds a store identity** | `/run/swarm-otel-oidc/<id>.secret` on the host's tmpfs, bind-mounted read-only into the `swarm-otel` container — never on persistent disk, so a reboot fetches it again | same unit, same path — one route, co-located or not. A collector with no store identity has `clientSecretFile == null`, its already-supported unauthenticated-push degrade — see below |
| Grafana's copy of its OIDC secret | `swarm-bao-grafana-oidc.service` reads it out of the swarm secret store, **on every host that runs Grafana** | `/run/swarm-grafana-secrets/<id>.secret` on the host's tmpfs, bind-mounted read-only into the `swarm-grafana` container — never on persistent disk, so a reboot fetches it again | same unit, same path — one route, co-located or not. Nothing for an operator to place beyond this host's store leaf, see below |
| Grafana's admin password | `swarm-bao-grafana-admin.service` creates it in the swarm secret store at `swarm/services/<grafana client id>/admin/password` when the store holds none, then copies it out, **on every host that runs Grafana**. Grafana's leaf may create that leaf but not update it, so the store keeps the first value, and the secret publisher can't write it. To rotate, run `bao kv metadata delete secret/swarm/services/<grafana client id>/admin/password` with a token that may, such as the root token (Grafana's, the publisher's and the controller's can't), then `systemctl restart swarm-bao-grafana-admin`; a plain `bao kv delete` isn't enough, see [the callout xkey's section](#the-queues-callout-xkey) | `/run/swarm-grafana-secrets/admin-password` on the host's tmpfs, bind-mounted read-only into the `swarm-grafana` container, never on persistent disk: `security.admin_password` for a new database, and `grafana cli admin reset-admin-password` in `grafana.service`'s `preStart` for an existing one, on every start | same unit, same path. After a reboot the unit fetches the file again, and Grafana doesn't start until it exists, so it stays down rather than falling back to the upstream default `admin` |
| Grafana's metrics bearer | `swarm-bao-grafana-metrics-bearer.service` creates it in the swarm secret store at `swarm/services/<grafana client id>/metrics/bearer` when the store holds none, then copies it out, **on every host that runs Grafana**. Same grant as the admin password, create without update. To rotate, run `bao kv metadata delete secret/swarm/services/<grafana client id>/metrics/bearer` with a token that may, then `systemctl restart swarm-bao-grafana-metrics-bearer` | `/run/swarm-grafana-secrets/metrics-bearer` on the host's tmpfs, bind-mounted read-only into the `swarm-grafana` container, holding `Bearer <value>`: the metrics datasource's `Authorization` header. The logs datasource sends the same header. `swarm-metrics-auth` on the metrics store's host, and a second instance on the log store's host (`swarm-logs-grafana-auth`), read the stored value themselves, each under its own leaf | same unit, same path. The unit restarts Grafana when the file changes |
| the metrics store responder's own store leaf (cert + key) | `signLeaf` in `glue-bao-tls.nix` (`swarm-bao-pki.service`), on the host that runs the secret store, once, subject `deploy.bao.metricsAuthCommonName`. `swarm-bao-metrics-auth-policy.service` writes the `swarm-metrics-auth` role and its read grant on the bearer leaf, nothing else | `/var/lib/swarm-bao-pki/metrics-auth.pem` and `metrics-auth-key.pem` on the store's host, handed to `swarm-metrics-auth` through `LoadCredential` (paths in argv, never values) | **the operator** places a leaf with that subject on the metrics store's host and names it in `deploy.victoriametrics.authBaoClientCertFile` / `authBaoClientKeyFile`; evaluation fails naming both until then. If the store is on another host, deploy that host first: the role must exist before the responder's login succeeds, and until it does the gateway refuses every Grafana query (fail closed) |
| the swarm controller's copy of its OIDC secret | `swarm-controller` reads it out of the swarm secret store at start, under its own leaf | the daemon's memory only; never on disk | same read, co-located or not. Nothing for an operator to place beyond the controller's store leaf (`deploy.swarm-controller.baoClientCertFile`) |
| a hive's copy of its own OIDC secret | hive-c0re reads it out of the swarm secret store when it first connects to the queue, under the hive's own leaf | the daemon's memory only; never on disk | same read, co-located or not. Nothing for an operator to place beyond the hive's store leaf (`deploy.bao.clientCertFile`) |
| the hive collector's copy of its hive's OIDC secret | `swarm-bao-hive-otel-oidc.service` reads it out of the swarm secret store under the hive's own leaf, **on every hive that runs the collector and holds that leaf** | `/var/lib/hive-otel-oidc/hive-<name>.secret` on the hive's host, 0400 root, loaded by `LoadCredential` | same unit, same path, co-located or not. Nothing for an operator to place beyond the hive's store leaf (`deploy.bao.clientCertFile`) |
| the swarm controller's forge token | the forge's `forgejo-swarm-controller-account`, in-container, once | `/var/lib/forgejo/swarm-controller-token` inside the forge container, the minter's record that it has minted; `swarm-bao-forge-publisher` copies it into the swarm secret store at `swarm/controller/swarm-controller/forge/token` each time the forge container starts and each time the mint writes the file; the controller holds it in memory only | nothing to place beyond the controller's store leaf. A forge host without the store needs the publisher's leaf placed (`deploy.bao.forgePublisherClientCertFile`) |
| the swarm controller's Grafana token | `swarm-bao-grafana-controller-token.service`, **on the host that runs Grafana**, as Grafana's built-in admin over its socket: it creates the `swarm-controller` service account as a Viewer (and sets it back to Viewer on every run), mints a token for it and writes it to the swarm secret store at `swarm/controller/swarm-controller/grafana/token` under Grafana's leaf. Re-run every ten minutes: it keeps a stored token Grafana accepts, and replaces one Grafana refuses with 401 (or a missing one), deleting every other token of that account first | the swarm secret store only; the controller reads it for `GET /api/alerts` and holds it in memory, re-reading the store once when Grafana answers 401 | nothing to place: Grafana's leaf is already required to run Grafana. Until the unit has run, `/api/alerts` answers 503 naming the empty path |
| an agent's claude login (`.credentials.json`) | `swarm-claude-login.service`, in its container, when an operator completes `claude auth login` from the agent's card in the swarm UI; it stores the file as a new version at `swarm/agents/<agent>/claude-credentials` under its own leaf, which may create and update that path and read nothing under an agent | the swarm secret store at that path; the agent's `hive-agent` reads it under the agent's own leaf every 30 seconds while it waits for a login and writes it to `~/.claude/.credentials.json` | the same read, co-located or not; nothing for an operator to place beyond the agent's store leaf. When the store's copy and the agent's differ the KV version decides: the agent installs only a version newer than the last it installed (`claude-credentials-version` under the harness dir), because claude rotates the refresh token in its own copy and the stored one goes stale. The agent ignores a stale or equal version, and a relogin writes a newer one — [claude-login.md](claude-login.md) |
| the queue responder's copy of its OIDC secret | the responder reads it out of the swarm secret store itself as it starts, under its own leaf, and again when authelia refuses it | the daemon's memory only; never on disk | same read, wherever authelia runs. Nothing for an operator to place beyond the responder's store leaf (`deploy.nats.authBaoClientCertFile`) |
| the queue container's journal forwarder's copy of the queue's OIDC secret | `swarm-journal-forwarder-oidc.service` inside the `swarm-nats` container reads it out of the swarm secret store under the responder's store leaf, and again every 10 minutes | `/run/swarm-journal-forwarder-oidc/client-secret` on the container's tmpfs, root `0400`, never on persistent disk; `LoadCredential` hands it to the collector | same unit, same path. After a reboot the collector restarts until the file exists, then resumes from its saved journal cursor. Nothing for an operator to place beyond the responder's store leaf (`deploy.nats.authBaoClientCertFile`) |
| authelia subject store | `swarmctl` and `swarm-authelia-bridge` | `users.yml` — one file, read and written by both | `swarmctl`, on the host that runs authelia |
| wireguard private key | **the operator** — `wg genkey` | whatever `deploy.wireguard.privateKeyFile` names | always operator-provided; nothing generates this for you |
| queue auth-callout nkeys (user seed + account seed) | `swarm-nats-auth ensure-callout-keys`, run by `swarm-bao-nats-callout-xkey` on the queue's host when the store holds no seed; the verb stores a seed it finds at `/var/lib/swarm-nats-callout/{callout-user,issuer}.seed` as is, then removes the file | the swarm secret store: the seeds at `swarm/services/swarm-nats/callout/{user,issuer}-seed`, read by the `swarm-nats-auth` role alone; the public halves at `swarm/public/swarm-nats/callout-{user,issuer}` | nothing to place beyond the responder's store leaf (`deploy.nats.authBaoClientCertFile`) |
| queue auth-callout xkey (curve seed) | `swarm-nats-auth ensure-callout-keys`, run by `swarm-bao-nats-callout-xkey` on the queue's host when the store holds no seed | the swarm secret store: the seed at `swarm/services/swarm-nats/callout/xkey-seed`, read by the `swarm-nats-auth` role alone; the public half at `swarm/public/swarm-nats/callout-xkey` | nothing to place beyond the responder's store leaf (`deploy.nats.authBaoClientCertFile`) |
| the queue's TLS key, copied for the gateway's `/metrics` vhost | `swarm-nats-gateway-cert.service` on the queue's host, where the gateway uses self-signed TLS: a copy of the queue's bao-PKI TLS leaf (`/var/lib/swarm-nats-tls/`) once `swarm-bao-nats-tls` has issued it, else a throwaway 30-day self-signed pair for the queue's name until then | `/var/lib/swarm-nats-gateway-tls/{cert,key}.pem`; the key is `0640` group `nginx`, read by nginx for the queue's `/metrics` vhost. The queue's own key stays `0600` root | the copy is redone on each leaf renewal (`swarm-bao-nats-tls` starts the unit, which reloads nginx if it's active); a restart before any leaf exists keeps the pair already there. Until `swarm-bao-nats-tls` issues the leaf the vhost serves the throwaway cert, so the collector's scrape fails TLS. Nothing for an operator to place |
| the secret store's own contents | openbao, on first `bao operator init` — **an operator action, not a unit** | inside the `swarm-bao` container, at its own `/var/lib/openbao`, kept across rebuilds by `ephemeral = false`. ⚠️ **Not a host path**: `nixos-container destroy swarm-bao` takes the raft data with it, so back up the container's tree, not `/var/lib/`. Only the store's TLS material (`/var/lib/swarm-bao-tls`) and its PKCS11 token (`/var/lib/swarm-bao-token`) are host-level | n/a — there is one store; a hive elsewhere is a _client_ of it and holds none of this |
| the secret store's unseal material | the HSM/TPM under `deploy.bao.seal = "pkcs11"`; openbao itself under `"shamir"` | in the token; or held by whoever ran `bao operator init`, which is what `"shamir"` means and why it's stated rather than inferred | n/a — only the host running the store seals anything |

Only the store's TLS material (`/var/lib/swarm-bao-tls`) and its PKCS11 token (`/var/lib/swarm-bao-token`) are host-level | n/a — there is one store; a hive elsewhere is a _client_ of it and holds none of this |

Authelia mints the three keys for itself, in-container, precisely
because nothing outside that container ever reads them. **That's the test worth

Bao matches a cert-auth role on the certificate's subject, so a certificate is an
identity and sharing one merges the identities. Each of these nine leaves has
a role and a policy of its own, and reaches one path, except the review
classifier's, the builder's, the claude login minter's, the forge host's and
Grafana's, which reach two each:
classifier's, the CI runner's, the builder's, the claude login minter's, the
forge host's and Grafana's, which reach more than one:
