docs(#727): split docs/web-ui.md into shape / dashboard / agent

docs/web-ui.md (1315 lines) split into three sub-files:
- docs/web-ui/shape.md   — shared SPA skeleton, SSE multiplexing,
  Worker-death self-heal, terminal pane, listener bind, relative
  paths, atomic repaint, side panel
- docs/web-ui/dashboard.md — SW4RM/Y3R/SYST3M/SCH3DUL3S/S3TT1NGS
  tabs, container row, topology tree, selection bar, approval card,
  dashboard endpoints + event channel
- docs/web-ui/agent.md   — header, terminal, composer, inbox, live
  view, slash commands, per-agent endpoints, stats page

docs/web-ui.md replaced with a thin index linking all three.

Section anchors in docs (gateway.md, gotchas.md), Rust doc comments
(hive-ag3nt/src/web_ui.rs), and nix/templates/weston-vnc.nix updated
to point at the correct sub-file. README and CLAUDE.md file-map
updated with sub-file links. Inline // comments in frontend source
left unchanged (they reference the index which redirects to the right
sub-file).

# Per-agent page
> Part of [Web UI](../web-ui.md). See also:
> [Shape (shared)](shape.md) · [Dashboard layout](dashboard.md)
Three fixed-position layers frame a full-viewport terminal:
**Fixed-overlay header** (`<header class="agent-header">`): frosted
glass — `backdrop-filter: blur` lets scrolled terminal rows show
through. Three flex columns:
- **Agent icon** (`<img class="agent-icon">`): fixed-size square
identity anchor — `width: 5em; height: 5em` with explicit pixel
sizing so the `<img>`'s intrinsic (large) dimensions don't push
the parent flex container open via `align-items: stretch`-driven
height feedback. 5em ≈ header content area (header `min-height: 6em`
minus `2 × 0.5em` padding). `align-self: flex-start` keeps the
icon stuck to the top so a state-row line-wrap doesn't drag it
down with it. Falls back to the dimmed hyperhive mark on load
error.
- **Main column** (`.agent-header-main`): two rows.
- Row 1 (`.agent-header-title-row`): title (`<h2 id="title">`) +
meta-nav (`<nav id="meta-links">`). Meta-nav renders
backend-supplied `StateSnapshot.links` as icon-only anchors — always
`📊 stats` (`kind = Container`); `🖥 screen` when VNC is enabled;
`⬡ forge` (profile) + `↳ config` (agent-configs mirror) when the
agent has a forge account; any `hyperhive.dashboardLinks` extras
(`kind = External`). A `↑ dashboard` link is prepended by the JS
so the host dashboard is one click away. `GET /api/agent/{name}/links`
is the single source of truth. Each `NavLink.kind` resolves
differently in the frontend: `Container` → same-origin path
(the agent page is itself container-local); `Forge`
`http://<host>:3000<url>`; `External` → already absolute.
All anchors are built via `el()` — agent-declared icon /
label / url strings never reach `innerHTML` (XSS-safe by
construction).
- Row 2 (`.agent-state-row`): alive badge + state badge + model chip
+ ctx badge + cost badge + last-turn chip + cancel button.
- Alive badge: `● alive` (green) / `⊘ rate limited` (red) /
`◌ needs login` / `◌ logging in` / `○ offline` / `… connecting`.
Driven by `LiveEvent::StatusChanged`.
- State badge: `💤 idle` / `🧠 thinking` / `📦 compacting` /
`○ offline` / `… booting` + age suffix. Driven by
`LiveEvent::TurnStateChanged ({ state, since_unix })`.
- Model chip: `model · <name>`. Driven by `LiveEvent::ModelChanged`.
- Ctx badge: `ctx · 142k` — last inference's prompt size.
Tooltip shows % of window when `context_window_tokens` is known.
- Cost badge: `cost · 1.3M` — cumulative tokens billed across every
inference in the last turn (tool-heavy turns rebill the cached
prefix per call — cost signal, not size signal).
- Both driven by `LiveEvent::TokenUsageChanged { ctx, cost }` at
turn-end.
- `■ cancel turn` (visible while thinking) → `POST /api/cancel`.
- **Right cluster** (`.agent-header-pills`): flyout pills + overflow.
- **Inbox pill** (`📬 inbox · N`): hidden when empty; click opens
the inbox flyout in the side panel.
- **Loose-ends pill** (`🪢 loose ends · N`): hidden when empty;
click opens the loose-ends flyout.
- **Overflow button** (`⋯`): always visible. Opens a frosted popover
(`#overflow-menu`, positioned outside the header to escape any
stacking context) with four rows: `↑ dashboard` (link), `↻ rebuild
container` (POST confirm, same action as the dashboard R3BU1LD
button), `↻ new claude session` (POST confirm → `POST
/api/new-session`; next turn drops `--continue`), `🔓 logout`
(POST confirm → `POST /api/logout`; SIGINTs any in-flight turn,
wipes OAuth credential files, flips the agent to `needs_login`
— session history preserved). All destructive actions require
one extra click to acknowledge — rare ops shouldn't live in the
primary state strip. The popover's display rules are scoped to
`:not([hidden])` so the `[hidden]` HTML attribute's UA `display:
none` isn't overridden by the author CSS's `display: flex` —
the popover stays hidden until JS removes the attribute.
`/api/state` is fetched once on cold load (+ while
`status === 'needs_login_in_progress'`); all other updates arrive via
SSE. Snapshot includes `context_window_tokens` for the ctx badge
tooltip, and `qualified_label` — the hive-qualified agent name
(`name@domain` form when `HYPERHIVE_HIVE_DOMAIN` is set, otherwise
just `name`). The frontend uses `qualified_label` to set the browser
tab title so two tabs from different hives are distinguishable; the
header `<h2 id="title">` stays short.
**Main content** (`<main class="agent-main">`): fills the viewport
and scrolls behind the fixed header + footer.
- `#status` overlay: empty when online; shows the login form / OAuth
URL when `status` is `needs_login_*`. The OAuth code input is
`type="password"` with a `👁 reveal` toggle that flips it back to
`text` on press so the operator can sanity-check the paste before
submit — avoids accidental on-screen token exposure to
shoulder-surfers or screenshots. `autocomplete="one-time-code"`
is the semantic value for OAuth codes (per WHATWG): browsers may
silently ignore `autocomplete="off"` on `type="password"`, but
`one-time-code` is honoured and suppresses the "save password
for this site?" prompt that would otherwise fire on submit.
- Terminal-wrap: live event tail (sticky-bottom auto-scroll +
`↓ N new` pill when not at bottom). The pill is **anchored in
`.agent-main`**, not in `log.parentElement = .terminal-wrap`:
`.terminal-wrap` applies `backdrop-filter: blur` for the frost
effect, which creates a CSS stacking context — anchoring the
pill inside that context would trap its `z-index` below the
fixed composer in the root stacking context, and it'd never
float. `.agent-main` has no backdrop-filter (no stacking-context
creators), so the pill's `z-index` reaches the root and properly
composites above the composer. Geometry is unchanged —
`.agent-main` and `.terminal-wrap` both `inset: 0` fill the same
area.
**Fixed-overlay footer** (`<footer class="agent-composer">`): frosted
glass, symmetric with the header. Contains the operator-input
textarea (`#term-input`) — multi-line, Enter sends, Shift+Enter
newlines, Tab-completes slash commands (see "Terminal-embedded
prompt" below).
**Side panel** (slide-in from right): singleton shared with the
dashboard's side panel shape. Carries inbox and loose-ends flyouts
(opened via the header pills) as well as long content (file previews,
diffs, journald logs). Inbox flyout: last 30 messages addressed to
this agent (`AgentRequest::Recent { limit: 30 }`); reply messages
indented with `↳ reply ·` in amber. A `✓ mark all read` button
appears in the flyout header when the inbox is non-empty;
clicking it confirms then POSTs cross-origin to the core
dashboard's `POST /api/agent/{name}/mark-all-read` — all pending
messages for this agent are acked, the harness won't receive
wake-prompts for them. A `{ marked: N }` pill surfaces the count.
The displayed message list stays put (it shows the most-recent N
regardless of ack state); the unread badge on the next turn-start
will reflect zero. Loose-ends flyout: questions,
approvals, and reminders pending against this agent (`GET /api/loose-ends`);
question rows carry an inline answer form that POSTs cross-origin to
the core dashboard's `/answer-question/{id}` so the operator answers
*as operator* (see `docs/boundary.md`).
**Ask → operator inline-answer binding.** When the agent emits
`mcp__hyperhive__ask(to: "operator", ...)`, the tool_use renderer
mounts an empty slot (`<div class="ask-answer-inline-slot">`)
right under the `↳ ask → operator` row in the terminal scrollback
and pushes a reference into `pendingAskBinds`. The broker assigns
the question id asynchronously, so the slot waits — and the next
`/api/loose-ends` refresh runs `reconcileAskBinds()`, which walks
the slot list and pairs each unbound slot with the first unclaimed
pending operator-bound question whose `question` text matches the
slot's stashed `_askQuestion`. On match the slot mounts the
`buildAnswerForm` (same form shape as the loose-ends flyout —
POSTs to the core's `/answer-question/{id}` cross-origin). Slots
stay in the array after binding so the reconciler can flip them
to a neutral `[resolved]` tag when the question later disappears
from the pending list. Disappearance can mean answered, cancelled
by the asker, or TTL-expired — the neutral label avoids
mis-asserting "✓" on the cancel / expire paths; full resolution
state is visible via the side-panel history. A defensive prune
walks the slot list each tick and drops any whose DOM node has
been removed (e.g. via a future "clear single row" affordance),
so stale references don't accumulate. Slots whose question never
arrives (e.g. the agent cancelled the ask, or the question is
older than the loose-ends retention window) stay empty — the
operator can still answer via the side panel, no regression.
## Live view
Each agent runs an `events::Bus`: a `tokio::sync::broadcast<LiveEvent>`
plus a sqlite-backed history at `/state/hyperhive-events.sqlite`.
The harness emits `TurnStart { from, body, unread }`,
`Stream(value)` (one per parsed stream-json line), `Note`,
`TurnEnd { ok, note }`. The web UI:
- fetches `GET /events/history` on page load and replays the last
2000 events (oldest first, with `.no-anim` so they don't
stagger);
- then subscribes to `GET /events/stream` (SSE) for live tail;
- shows a granular state badge above the terminal, driven
authoritatively from `/api/state.turn_state`. SSE turn_start /
turn_end still flip the badge instantly between renders;
- sticky-bottom auto-scroll: scrolling up parks the view; new rows
surface a "↓ N new" pill instead of yanking;
- terminal-themed: phosphor mauve glow, Crust bg,
backdrop-filter blur, row fade-in slide-up.
Per-stream rendering:
- `Stream` `tool_use`
- `Write` / `Edit`: collapsed `<details>` with a +/- diff body
(`-` lines from `input.old_string`, `+` lines from
`input.new_string` or every line of `input.content`).
Summary carries the path + line counts.
- others (`Read /path`, `Bash $ cmd`, `mcp__hyperhive__send →
operator: "..."`, etc.): flat one-line per-tool format.
- `Stream` `tool_result` short → flat `← ...`; long → collapsed
`<details>` `▸ ← Nl · headline` (click to expand full body).
- `Stream` `thinking` → text content if claude provided one,
otherwise the bare `· thinking …` indicator.
- `Stream` `system init`, `result`, `rate_limit_event` are
dropped — too noisy.
- `Note``· text`.
- `TurnEnd``✓ turn ok` / `✗ turn fail — note`, triggers a
`refreshState()`.
## Terminal-embedded prompt
The operator input lives *inside* the terminal-wrap as a
prompt-style textarea below the live tail: multi-line (Enter
sends, Shift+Enter newlines), tab-completes slash commands.
Slash commands today:
- `/help` — list commands locally.
- `/clear` — wipe the local terminal view (server history kept).
- `/cancel``POST /api/cancel` → host shellouts `pkill -INT
claude`, emits a Note. Also surfaces as a `■ cancel turn`
button in the state row while state=thinking.
- `/compact``POST /api/compact` → host spawns
`turn::compact_session` in the background; output streams into
the live panel.
- `/model <name>``POST /api/model` flipping `Bus::set_model`.
Takes effect on the next turn; persisted to
`/state/hyperhive-model` so the override survives harness
restart / rebuild.
- `/new-session``POST /api/new-session` (confirms first).
Arms a one-shot on the Bus; next turn runs without
`--continue`, dropping the resume session entirely.
- `/logout``POST /api/logout` (confirms first). Wipes OAuth
credential files, parks the agent in `needs_login`. Session
history (`~/.claude/projects/`) is preserved.
Unknown `/foo` shows an error row instead of being silently sent.
## Per-agent endpoints
All POSTs return 200 (no 303 redirects). The matching mutations
fire `LiveEvent` variants on the per-agent bus, so the client
doesn't refetch `/api/state` on submit — the SSE stream
delivers the new state faster anyway. Only the login flow still
polls (session output streams in updates that aren't event-
shaped).
- `POST /send` — operator-injected message into this agent's inbox.
- `POST /login/{start,code,cancel}` — claude OAuth login flow.
Start/cancel emit `LiveEvent::StatusChanged` to flip the
badge to/from `needs_login_in_progress`.
- `POST /api/cancel` — SIGINT the in-flight claude turn. Emits a
`LiveEvent::Note`.
- `POST /api/compact` — run `/compact` on the persistent session
(same MCP config + system prompt + allowed tools as a normal
turn — only the stdin payload differs). Flips state to
`Compacting` via `Bus::set_state`, which emits
`TurnStateChanged`.
- `POST /api/model` (`model=<name>`) — switch the model for
future turns. `Bus::set_model` emits `ModelChanged`.
- `POST /api/new-session` — arm a one-shot for the next turn to
drop `--continue`. Emits a `LiveEvent::Note`.
- `POST /api/logout` — three-step teardown that re-uses the
existing `wait_for_login` resumption path:
1. SIGINT any running claude (matches `/api/cancel`'s pattern —
idempotent no-op when nothing is running) so the credential
wipe doesn't race a mid-API-call turn.
2. Delete only the OAuth credential files
(`.credentials.json` + `mcp-needs-auth-cache.json` under
`~/.claude/`). **Preserves** session history files
(`projects/<hash>/*.jsonl`), sessions, shell-snapshots,
plans, settings, telemetry, and the dir itself, so
`claude --continue` keeps working after a fresh login.
Wholesale `remove_dir_all` of `~/.claude/` was the previous
shape and broke session continuity; the narrowed allow-list
is the fix.
3. Flip `LoginState::NeedsLogin` + emit a `LiveEvent::Note`
describing exactly what was wiped, then emit
`needs_login_idle`. The turn-loop's next iteration parks
into `wait_for_login`, which snapshots the credential dir
(now missing the wiped files) and resumes when a fresh
credentials file appears via the dashboard's `/login/code`
flow (the same mtime-resumption path manual re-login uses).
Always returns 200 with a body describing what happened —
per-file errors are folded into the response + the Note so the
operator sees them in the live panel rather than as an HTTP
error. Missing files (already logged out) are treated as
idempotent.
- `GET /events/history` — replay buffer for the terminal.
- `GET /screen` — VNC viewer page (minimal RFB-over-WebSocket
renderer — deliberately thin, just enough to display the
desktop + forward pointer + keyboard. A production-grade viewer
would vendor noVNC; this file ships the minimal in-tree variant).
Only accessible when `hyperhive.gui.enable = true` in the agent's
`agent.nix`; the harness shows a 🖥 screen link in the state row
when `gui_vnc_port` is present. Toolbar: `⤢ fit` CSS-downscales
the canvas to the window via `relayoutCanvas()` setting explicit
pixel dimensions on the canvas — *not* CSS `max-width/max-height`,
because a flex item's automatic minimum size (`min-width: auto`
resolves to the canvas's intrinsic framebuffer resolution) silently
clamps `max-*` back up, making fit mode a no-op that just centred +
clipped the oversized canvas. The fit-mode rules pin the canvas
with `flex: none; min-width: 0; min-height: 0` so the JS-set size
sticks. `⤡ match size` sends an RFB `SetDesktopSize` request so the
server (weston) changes its real output resolution to the window
dimensions; enabled once the server advertises the
`ExtendedDesktopSize` pseudo-encoding (`-308` rect in the header).
Fit-mode state persists in `localStorage` (`screen-fit`); default
is on. Pointer coordinates are rescaled in `sendPointer` so clicks
land on the right pixel regardless of CSS scale.
- `GET /screen/ws` — raw RFB byte relay: proxies WebSocket
frames to the weston VNC server at `127.0.0.1:<vnc_port>`.
Transparent to any RFB variant. VNC port comes from
`/etc/hyperhive/gui.json` (written by the weston startup
script in `weston-vnc.nix`).
Bus events (new vocabulary on `/events/stream`):
- `status_changed { status }``online` / `rate_limited` /
`needs_login_idle` / `needs_login_in_progress`. Drives the
alive-badge. `rate_limited` is set when the harness detects a
429 response and cleared when the retry sleep expires.
- `model_changed { model }` — drives the model chip.
- `token_usage_changed { ctx: TokenUsage, cost: TokenUsage }`
— drives the ctx + cost badges. Emitted from
`Bus::record_turn_usage` at turn-end; `ctx` is the last
inference's usage (current context size), `cost` is the
cumulative across every inference (the `result` event's
totals).
- `turn_state_changed { state, since_unix }` — drives the
state badge (`idle`/`thinking`/`compacting`).
## Stats page
`GET /stats` is a separate per-agent page (served by the
harness, linked from the per-agent page's `📊 stats →` and from
each dashboard container row). Turn analytics, read-only, from
`/state/hyperhive-turn-stats.sqlite`. `GET /api/stats?window=
24h|7d|30d` returns a time-bucketed `Snapshot`; the page renders
it with Chart.js (vendored from a CDN). Charts: turns,
duration (p50 · p95 · avg), context tokens, token cost per
bucket, a **turns-by-model** stacked bar (model choice drives
token cost, so it sits directly under the cost chart), and
doughnuts for tool / wake-source / result mix. A summary chip
row carries window totals. `stats.rs` opens the sqlite db
read-only and degrades to an empty snapshot on any error — the
page is decorative, never authoritative.

# Dashboard layout
> Part of [Web UI](../web-ui.md). See also:
> [Shape (shared)](shape.md) · [Per-agent page](agent.md)
The dashboard (`/`) has a fixed chrome header at the top and a
`<main>` that shows exactly one tab pane at a time. The URL hash
(`#swarm`, `#call`, `#system`, `#schedules`) drives which pane is
active; hash changes don't reload the page. FL0W is a separate
full-page terminal at `/flow.html` — its tab-strip entry is a
cross-page link (`◆ FL0W ◆ →`), not a pane swap.
**Chrome header** (fixed, overlays the active tab pane):
- **Tab strip**: `◆ SW4RM ◆`, `◆ Y3R C4LL ◆`, `◆ SYST3M ◆`,
`◆ SCH3DUL3S ◆`, `◆ M4TR1X ◆ →` (optional page link, see below),
`◆ FL0W ◆ →` (page link), and `◆ S3TT1NGS ◆`. Count pills on
SW4RM (container count), Y3R C4LL (pending approvals + questions),
and SCH3DUL3S (active schedules); FL0W pill mirrors the operator
inbox length (hidden when zero); S3TT1NGS has no count. The
M4TR1X → entry is hidden when
`services.hyperhive.matrix.gui.enable` is off (defaults to
`matrix.enable`) so operators without the matrix GUI on don't
see a dead link — tabs.js gates the `hidden` attribute on
`state.matrix_gui_enabled` from `/api/state`.
- **Banner-thin** (`░▒▓█▓▒░ HYPERHIVE / HIVE-C0RE / WE ARE THE WIRED ░▒▓█▓▒░`)
— sits below the tab strip.
The FL0W page reuses the same chrome strip but its `◆ S3TT1NGS ◆ →`
entry is a cross-page link back to the dashboard
(`/#settings`) since the settings pane only lives there.
## SW4RM tab
**C0NTAINERS** — live containers rendered as a depth-first
tree using `ContainerView.parent` (populated by `topology.rs`).
Each container's row is prefixed with ASCII tree glyphs (`├─`,
`└─`, `│ ` continuation columns) showing the agent
parent/child hierarchy. When every container has `parent = null`
(flat topology) the tree collapses to a plain list with no
glyphs. Children are sorted alphabetically within each parent;
roots likewise. Cycles in the parent graph are tolerated —
orphaned containers (not reachable from any root) are appended
as roots so no agent disappears. Pulsing red banner at the top
of this section if any two sub-agents hash to the same port
(`port_conflicts` from `/api/state`): the operator must rename
one of them and rebuild. `lifecycle::{spawn,rebuild}` also
preflight this and refuse with a clear error message naming the
conflicting agent.
`↻ UPD4TE 4LL` button appears above the containers list when any
agent is stale.
## Y3R C4LL tab
Things blocked on operator decision — approvals and questions
share a tab because they're the same concept ("something is
waiting on you").
**P3NDING APPR0VALS** — the queue (see "Approval card" below).
The R3QU3ST SP4WN form lives at the top of this section.
**M1ND H4S QU3STI0NS** — pending operator-targeted `ask`
questions (amber pulsing border). Free-text fallback always
rendered alongside any option list; `multi=true` renders options
as checkboxes; submit merges selections + free text
comma-joined. Each row has a `✗ CANC3L` button. Questions with
a `ttl_seconds` show a `⏳ MM:SS` chip; the host-side watchdog
auto-cancels with `[expired]` when the deadline fires.
## SYST3M tab
Passive / rare-interaction state.
**M3T4 1NPUTS** — inputs in `meta/flake.lock` the operator can
selectively `nix flake update`, rendered as an indented tree:
every fetched input at every depth (`hyperhive`,
`hyperhive/nixpkgs`, `agent-<n>`, `agent-<n>/mcp-<x>`, …), each
shown once at its shallowest path. `read_meta_inputs` walks the
lock graph with a `visited` set — `follows` aliases and rev-less
nodes are skipped. A `select all / select none`
control sits above the tree. Checking inputs + submitting bumps
the lock in `/meta/` and rebuilds the selected agents in
sequence; each outcome reaches the manager as a `rebuilt`
system event. `POST /meta-update`. While a lock-bump ripple runs,
the panel shows a pulsing "⏳ meta-update running" banner and the
update button is disabled (snapshot field `meta_update_running`,
live event `meta_update_running`).
**R3BU1LD QU3U3** — pending and recently-completed container
operations: rebuilds, meta-update cascades, and first-spawns.
One operation runs at a time; the worker drains FIFO. Each row
shows a state glyph (`⏸` queued / `▶` running / `✔` done /
`✖` failed / `⊘` cancelled), kind glyph + verb (`↻ rebuild`,
`◆ meta_update`, `✨ spawn`, `🗑 destroy`), agent name, source
chip (`manual | meta_update | auto_update | crash_recover | approval`
— green for operator-approved config changes), timing, and an
optional reason / error. Meta-update cascade rebuilds nest under
their parent entry (`parent_id` grouping; `rqe-child` CSS class).
Dedup: re-enqueueing a still-queued op for the same agent
collapses into the existing entry. Running entries tick elapsed
seconds live, and when the worker has annotated the current phase
a cyan `↳ <step>` sub-line appears under the main row showing the
in-flight step name (e.g. `↳ meta prepare_deploy``↳ nixos-container update`
`↳ finalize deploy`). Terminal transitions clear `step` on the
backend so Done / Failed rows don't render stale labels.
Queued entries carry a `✗` cancel button on the right edge;
running / done / failed / cancelled entries don't show it — the
backend refuses cancellation for non-`Queued` rows anyway
(`POST /api/rebuild-queue/{id}/cancel`). Successful
cancel flips the row to `⊘ cancelled` via the next
`rebuild_queue_changed` snapshot.
Cold-loaded from `/api/state.rebuild_queue`; live updates via
`rebuild_queue_changed` snapshot event.
**K3PT ST4T3** — destroyed-but-state-kept tombstones (size +
age + claude-creds badge). Two actions: `⊕ R3V1V3` (queues a
Spawn approval; existing state is reused), `PURG3` (wipes
state + applied dirs; `POST /purge-tombstone/{name}`).
## SCH3DUL3S tab
Anything that fires at a future time. Operator-set schedules
are created inline in the table (last row); agent self-paced
reminders surface at the bottom as a sibling list — they
share enough conceptual ground to live together.
**N3W SCH3DUL3 / QU3U3D SCH3DUL3S** — operator-managed
scheduled prompts. **Single-table layout**: each schedule is
one `<tr>`; columns are
`# | src | next | every | owner | body | …agents… | actions`.
Agent columns are dynamic — `operator` + `manager` + every
live container + any extra name that appears as a target on
some schedule but isn't a current container (same
`buildTargetChips` membership rule the new/edit forms use,
so table and forms agree on what's addressable). Column
headers tilt -45° via CSS so each column reads as a narrow
~28px strip; per-agent cells render as:
- **active target**`<button>✓</button>` that cancels just
that one target on click
- **cancelled target** → muted `✕` glyph (no button —
re-adding goes through the edit form's targets multi-select)
- **not a target** → empty cell
Per-schedule action column: a `↯ fire now` button sends an
out-of-band manual pulse to every active target (recurring
schedules keep their cadence; one-shots are consumed after
the manual fire), an `✎ edit` button expands an inline edit
form as a colspan'd row directly under the schedule's row
(body / description / interval / next-fire / targets all
editable; targets are a multi-select diff'd against the
original active set so unchecked-was-active = `targets_remove`,
checked-not-originally-active = `targets_add`; submit PATCHes
`/api/schedules/{id}`), and a `✕` button cancels the whole
schedule (`POST /api/schedules/{id}/cancel`).
The table's last row is a permanent inline creation row:
inputs live directly in table cells (targets as checkboxes,
body textarea that expands on focus, datetime-local pre-filled
to 5 minutes from now, mini d/h/m/s number inputs (blank or
all-zero = one-shot), description). Click `` to POST to
`/api/schedules` as JSON (or `⌫` to clear the half-filled row);
carry-state preserves partially-typed inputs across re-renders. The tab pill shows the count of active
schedules (at least one live target not yet cancelled).
Refreshed on tab activation and after each submit/cancel. Backed by
`GET /api/schedules`. No backend changes for the table layout
— it renders entirely from existing `schedulesState` +
`containersState`.
**QU3U3D R3M1ND3RS** — reminders agents have scheduled for
themselves (via the `remind` tool) but not yet delivered.
Each row shows the owner, due time, and message; a `CANC3L`
button hard-deletes (`POST /cancel-reminder/{id}`) and a
`R3TRY` button re-arms one whose delivery failed
(`POST /retry-reminder/{id}`). Backed by `GET /api/reminders`.
Lives in the SCH3DUL3S tab alongside operator schedules so the
operator has one place for everything time-fired.
## S3TT1NGS tab
Operator-local preferences. State lives in the browser's
`localStorage` — preferences do NOT sync between devices and
do NOT survive a profile wipe. Today the tab holds one section
(browser notifications); future preferences (theme, density,
inbox-pill threshold, etc.) land here as sibling `<h3>` blocks
under the same `<section id="tab-pane-settings">`.
**◇ browser notifications** — `🔔 enable notifications` button when
permission ungranted; `🔕 mute / 🔔 unmute` toggle once granted
(mute silences the dispatch without revoking the OS-level
permission). On unsupported origins (non-secure context, or
browsers without the `Notification` API) the controls hide and a
single status line explains why. See `### Browser notifications`
below for the dispatch model + the three signals the dashboard
emits OS notifications on.
The FL0W page does NOT host this pane — its tab-strip
`◆ S3TT1NGS ◆ →` entry is a cross-page link to the dashboard's
`#settings` route. Notifications still fire on the FL0W page when
they're enabled here, because `NOTIF.show()` in
`common.js` depends on `Notification.permission` + the
`hyperhive.notify.muted` localStorage key, not on the buttons
existing in the page DOM.
## M4TR1X page (`/matrix/`, optional)
A static matrix web client (default `pkgs.fluffychat-web` rebuilt
with `--base-href /matrix/`, swappable via
`services.hyperhive.matrix.gui.package`) served by the hive-gateway
nginx container at `/matrix/` when
`services.hyperhive.matrix.gui.enable` is on (defaults to
`matrix.enable`). c0re signals availability via the
`HIVE_MATRIX_GUI_ENABLED` env var → `state.matrix_gui_enabled` in
`/api/state`; the gateway does the actual static serving.
The operator opens `/matrix/` from the M4TR1X → strip entry, logs
in once with the in-host tuwunel homeserver URL
(`http://localhost:8008` or whatever the matrix module exposes).
The unified nginx-front re-root to
`https://matrix.${hyperhive.domain}` + `.well-known/matrix/client`
auto-discovery lives in `docs/gateway.md` (atlas's lane).
## FL0W page (`/flow.html`)
A dedicated full-page terminal (not a tab pane — a separate HTML
page). Reuses the same `<header class="dashboard-chrome">` chrome
as the dashboard so the tab strip remains visible; SW4RM / Y3R
C4LL / SYST3M / SCH3DUL3S are cross-page links back to `/#<tab>`,
and the FL0W entry is marked active (`aria-current="page"`).
**0PER4T0R 1NB0X** — recent messages addressed to `operator`,
derived client-side from the dashboard event stream. Cold load
seeds from `/dashboard/history`'s 200-message backfill; subsequent
`sent` events with `to == "operator"` are appended live. Cap 50,
newest-first.
**MESS4GE FL0W** — live broker tail wrapped in a `.terminal-wrap`.
Cold load backfills the last ~200 messages from `/dashboard/history`;
live frames arrive on `/dashboard/stream`. Each row is one broker
event — `sent` or `delivered` — with `from → to: body`. The row is
a `flex-wrap: wrap` container holding ts / arrow / from / sep / to
chips inline; the **body wraps to its own full-width line below**
the chips (`flex: 1 1 100%`) so the body always gets the full row
width down to the content edge — long timestamps + agent names
used to push the body ~30ch in and force awkward narrow-column
wraps. `min-width: 0` keeps `word-break: break-word` effective so
the body doesn't force the row wider than its container. Sticky-
bottom auto-scroll + "↓ N new" pill. Below the stream sits a
terminal-style compose box: `@name` picks the recipient (sticky via
localStorage; auto-complete from the live container list, Tab/Enter
to confirm; `@*` broadcasts). `POST /op-send` drops
`{from:"operator", to, body}` into the broker; the resulting SSE
frame re-renders both the terminal row and the inbox section.
Manager is addressed as `@manager` (the broker recipient string),
not `@hm1nd` (the container name).
## Container row
A full-height **square agent icon** (5em, capped) on the left. The
icon is the **selection toggle**: click (or Enter/Space) adds/removes
the agent from the selection set; `aria-pressed` reflects the state;
the tooltip says "select … for bulk actions" or "deselect … (or press
Esc to clear all)". The `<img>` points at `<url>/icon`; load failure
falls back to the dimmed hyperhive mark (`/favicon.svg`). The card
body sits to the right with three stacked lines
(`assets/tabs.js::renderContainers`).
**Icon layout + load strategy:** the `<img>` is absolutely
positioned (`inset: 0`) inside the `.container-icon` wrapper —
the wrapper is the flex child and sizes itself via `width: 5em` +
`aspect-ratio: 1`, the `<img>` is out of flow so its load state
(pending, loaded, broken) can never contribute intrinsic size or
reflow the row. Without that, the row would briefly grow as the
image's natural dimensions arrived, then snap back on
`object-fit: contain`. The load itself is fire-and-forget: the
dashboard doesn't pre-check whether the agent is reachable, it
just lets the `<img>` try and listens for an `error` event. On
failure the handler swaps the `src` to `/favicon.svg` (served by
the dashboard itself, always reachable) and adds the
`icon-unreachable` class for the dimmed look. When the container
is known stopped up front (`ContainerView.running = false`) the
fallback fires immediately, skipping the doomed `<url>/icon`
fetch entirely.
- Line 1: agent name (link → new tab), m1nd/ag3nt chip, an
**icon-only nav strip** populated async from the agent backend
(`📊 stats`, `🖥 screen` when GUI is enabled, `⬡ forge profile`,
`↳ agent-configs mirror`, plus any agent-declared
`dashboardLinks` extras). The dashboard JS fetches
`GET /api/agent/{name}/links`, a same-origin passthrough proxy
that forwards the agent's own link list; the agent backend is
the single source of truth. The frontend resolves each
`AgentLink.kind` against a per-agent base URL that depends on
whether hive-gateway is in front (`StateSnapshot.gateway_enabled`,
sourced from the `HIVE_GATEWAY_ENABLED` env the c0re NixOS
module sets when `services.hyperhive.gateway.enable = true`).
Gateway-on (default): `container``/agent/<name>/<url>` (same
origin, gateway proxies to the per-agent harness — TCP or
unix-domain depending on the agent's `HIVE_WEB_SOCKET` opt-in,
see `docs/gateway.md::Per-agent unix-socket upstream`).
Gateway-off (legacy / local dev):
`container``http://<host>:<container.port>/<url>` (direct TCP
fallback). Forge links resolve against `http://<host>:3000`,
external links are already absolute. The same flag drives the
primary agent-name link + favicon fetch (`<url>/icon`), so the
whole row routes through the gateway as a unit.
**When the container is stopped** (`ContainerView.running = false`),
the host clears live-only fields before emitting the state, so
the dashboard never renders stale data: the badge chain is
replaced by a single muted `■ not running` badge, the nav-strip
fetch is skipped (the agent web server is down), and the
self-reported status text is suppressed. The agent icon goes
straight to the dimmed `/favicon.svg` fallback instead of
attempting a doomed load from the container's URL. Static fields
`needs_update`, `deployed_sha`, `pending_reminders`, `parent`,
`config` link — remain visible regardless of run state.
When the container is running, status badges follow — `⊘ rate
limited` (red, while the harness is parked after a 429), `needs
login`, `needs update` — in-flight `◐ pending-state…` pill
(replaces buttons during operator-initiated start / stop /
restart / rebuild / destroy). Additionally, when a rebuild-queue
entry for this agent is `queued` or `running` but no
operator-initiated transient is set, the card surfaces a
`building…` / `meta-updating…` badge sourced from
`rebuildQueueState` — so the SW4RM tab shows the same
rebuild progress visible on the SYST3M tab's R3BU1LD QU3U3.
The row visual splits queued vs running: a **queued** entry shows
only the pending-state pill (no row tint, so a long queue doesn't
paint half the tab amber); a **running** entry keeps the amber
row tint AND draws a **rotating amber ring** around the agent
icon, so it's obvious at a glance which container is actually
moving.
**Pending-state derivation:** the pill is sourced from two
separate stores in priority order. (1) The operator-initiated
**transient** (`transientsState`) is set on the dashboard the
moment the operator clicks start / stop / restart / rebuild /
destroy / spawn — covers the create-and-start window where the
container literally isn't up yet, before any backend state event
has fired. (2) If no transient is set, the **rebuild-queue
entry** for this agent is consulted (`rebuildQueueState`); this
covers worker-driven ops — meta-update cascades, crash-recover
rebuilds, approval-driven rebuilds — that the operator didn't
click. `ContainerStateChanged` carries neither signal, so the
dashboard reads from the two snapshots directly. The
`opRunning` flag (driving the `pending-running` row class +
spinner) is true when (1) is set OR (2) is in `running` state;
queued entries leave `opRunning` false.
Container name + port, and a `ctx · Nk` chip showing the
agent's last-turn context size (from `ContainerView.ctx_tokens`,
read from the turn-stats sqlite on each `build_all` sweep;
absent until the first turn). The chip colour (green / yellow /
red) is keyed off the model's real context window: `build_all`
resolves the last turn's model against the host's per-model
`contextWindowTokens` config and exposes it as
`ContainerView.context_window_tokens`; the badge goes yellow
≥ 50% and red ≥ 75% of that window (the harness compaction
watermarks). When the window can't be resolved the badge falls
back to fixed 100k / 150k thresholds.
- Line 2: status badges only (no per-card action buttons — actions
moved to the **selection bar**, see below).
- Line 3: drill-in triggers —
- `↳ logs · <container>` — opens the side panel and lazy-
fetches journald via `GET /api/journal/{name}?unit=&lines=`
(`journalctl -M <container> -b --no-pager --output=short-iso`).
A unit dropdown (harness service / full machine journal) and
a refresh button live in the panel. The panel uses a column-flex
layout so the `<pre>` log surface fills the full remaining panel
height; scroll happens inside the `<pre>`, not the side
panel body.
- Plain navigation links (config repo, forge profile,
`dashboardLinks` extras) now live in the icon-only nav strip
on Line 1 — see above. The agent's `config` link
goes to the repo root; the deployed sha shows separately on
Line 1 as the `deployed:<sha>` chip, since the agent harness
can't know its own deployed commit.
`↻ UPD4TE 4LL` button appears above the containers list when any
agent is stale. Banner pulses on each broker SSE event
(`pulseBanner` with a 4s grace timer).
### Topology tree
Container rows render as a forest, not a flat list — each agent
sits indented under its declared parent. `tabs.js::buildAgentTree`
walks `ContainerView.parent` for every container in the snapshot
and produces a render order with per-row depth + sibling-position
info:
- Top-level rows are agents with `parent = null` OR a parent that
doesn't appear in the container map (orphans get hoisted to root
so they're still visible).
- Within each level children sort alphabetically by name; roots
likewise.
- Cycle safety: any container not reached during the root-walk is
appended at the end as a root, so no agent ever silently
disappears from the list when the topology JSON is malformed.
- The pre-topology rendering shape (every container at depth 0,
flat list) collapses to the same visual today when no parent
field is set — bit-identical fallback path.
The per-row prefix column (`.tree-prefix`) is **DOM-painted, not
text-glyph-painted**. Each indent lane is its own positioned
`<span>` so CSS can draw full-height vertical bars that bridge the
gap between sibling rows; using text box-drawing characters
(`├─`, `└─`, `│ `) only paints one text-line tall and leaves
visible breaks between the taller-than-one-line container cards.
The bars come in two flavours: continuation (the ancestor's
subtree extends below this row → vertical line top→bottom) or
blank (ancestor was the last sibling at its level → no line
needed). The joint at the row's own depth column is `├` (more
siblings below) or `└` (last sibling at this depth — vertical
stops at the row's icon midline).
**Indent + lane geometry.** Each depth level shifts the row right
by `1.8em` (the lane width). The per-depth ladders are hardcoded
for six levels — enough for any plausible hive topology, and the
typed `attr()` function from CSS Values 5 that would collapse
this to one rule is still partial-support (Chromium-only as of
2026). The `.tree-prefix` span sits absolutely positioned with
`left: -<depth>*1.8em` so its right edge meets the row content
(the icon) and its leftmost lane lines up with top-level rows'
icons at `x = 0`. Each `.tree-lane` is `flex: 0 0 1.8em` so all
lanes have equal width. Continuation bars are drawn at lane
center (`left: 0.6em`, `border-left: 1px solid currentColor`,
`top: 0; bottom: 0`) and extend through `.containers { gap: 0.4em }`
into the next sibling's prefix (`bottom: -0.4em` on the prefix
span itself) so adjacent ancestor lines visually merge into one
unbroken vertical line. The horizontal stub at a row's own joint
lands at the icon midline so the L/T meets the icon edge cleanly.
When every container has `parent = null` (pre-topology state) the
`[data-depth]` attribute is absent on every row and these rules
are no-ops — the layout reads exactly like the legacy flat list.
## Selection bar
Per-card action buttons (`R3ST4RT` / `ST0P` / `ST4RT` / `R3BU1LD` /
`DESTR0Y` / `PURG3`) used to live on each container row; the
operator picked the bulk-bar model instead. Clicking an agent's
icon toggles its selection (an in-memory `Set<name>`); `Esc` or
the bar's `✕ clear` button drops everything. The selection
persists across tab switches in-memory — the bar just hides on
non-SW4RM tabs since other tabs don't show the agent cards needed
to cross-reference.
When one or more agents are selected (via icon click), a sticky
frosted-mauve bar slides up from the bottom of the viewport
(`#selection-bar`, `position: fixed; bottom: 0`). It shows:
- **Count + names** — "N agents selected · name1, name2, …"
- **Bulk action buttons** — only enabled when ALL selected agents
support the action; disabled with a tooltip naming the blockers
when the selection is mixed:
- `↺ R3ST4RT` — running agents only
- `■ ST0P` — running agents only
- `▶ ST4RT` — stopped agents only
- `↻ R3BU1LD` — always available
- `DESTR0Y` / `PURG3` — sub-agents only (disabled if manager selected)
- `⇡ M0V3 → ROOT` — promote selected agents to top-level
(parent = null); disabled when all selected are already at root.
Backend `topology::set_parent` refuses moves it can't satisfy
(e.g. moving the manager) and the refusal surfaces in the
failure roll-up.
- `⇢ M0V3 → [select]` — inline picker available for any
selection size. The dropdown lists every container that isn't IN
the selection itself nor a descendant of any selected agent
(client-side BFS cycle prevention across the whole batch; the
backend re-checks per-agent). On submit POSTs to
`/api/topology/set-parent` (form-encoded `child=<name>&new_parent=<target>`)
once per selected agent, which writes `topology.json` and re-emits
a container snapshot so the tree repaints without a page reload.
- **`✕ clear`** button + `Esc` key clear the entire selection.
Stale selections (agents destroyed while selected) are pruned on
every render before the bar appears.
## Approval card
Each pending approval renders as a card (`assets/tabs.js::
renderApprovals`) with three stacked sections:
- **identity header** — glyph, `#id`, agent, kind chip, (for
`apply_commit`) the short proposal sha as `<code>`, and a
right-aligned `requested <N> ago` relative time from
`ApprovalView.requested_at` — amber once the request has been
pending ≥ 1h so a stale approval stands out.
- **what-changed body** — the manager's description, then
drill-in triggers: `↳ view diff` opens the diff in the side
panel; `↳ commit on forge ↗` deep-links the proposal commit
into `agent-configs/<agent>` (shown only when `forge_present`).
Spawn approvals show a one-line "container will be created"
note instead.
- **decision actions**`◆ APPR0VE` and `DENY`. Deny pops a
`prompt()` for an optional reason carried to the manager as
`HelperEvent::ApprovalResolved.note`.
The diff panel has a 3-way base toggle — **vs applied** (the
running tree, served instantly from the diff already on the
approval), **vs last-approved**, **vs previous proposal** — the
latter two fetched on click from `GET /api/approval-diff/{id}
?base=approved|previous`. Each line is classified client-side
(`+` / `-` / `@@` / `--- ` / `+++ ` → add / del / hunk / file).
A `pending · N` / `history · N` tab pair switches the section
between the live queue and the last 30 resolved approvals.
## Browser notifications
Pure frontend (`Notification` API). Three signals trigger them:
- new pending approval (per id, delta on `/api/state`)
- new pending operator question (per id)
- new broker message sent `to: "operator"` (live via SSE)
The toggle controls live in the `S3TT1NGS` tab (`#settings`); see
that section above for the user-facing shape. Dispatch logic lives
in `common.js::NOTIF`.
First `/api/state` after page load seeds "seen" sets without
firing — only items that arrive while the page is open count.
Per-event tags (`hyperhive:approval:<id>`, `hyperhive:question:<id>`,
`hyperhive:msg:<at>:<rand>`) so distinct events stack in the OS
notification center instead of overwriting each other.
`console.debug` logs at every block point (unsupported,
permission ungranted, muted) for in-browser debugging. Click
focuses the dashboard tab. The localStorage key
`hyperhive.notify.muted` (`"1"` = muted, absent = unmuted) backs
the toggle and silences dispatch without revoking the OS
permission. Requires a secure context (HTTPS or localhost); on
other origins the controls hide themselves. Browsers typically
suppress notifications while the originating tab is focused —
that's a browser-level decision, not ours.
## Dashboard endpoints
- `POST /approve/{id}` — approve a pending approval. Fires
`ApprovalResolved` on the dashboard event channel; client
updates derived approvals state from the event.
- `POST /deny/{id}` (`note=<reason>`, optional) — deny a pending
approval with an optional operator-supplied reason. The reason
travels to the manager as `HelperEvent::ApprovalResolved.note`
and also rides on the dashboard's `ApprovalResolved` event.
Dashboard prompts via `window.prompt()` on click.
- `POST /{rebuild,kill,restart,start,destroy}/{name}` — lifecycle.
`destroy` accepts `purge=on` to also wipe state dirs.
- `POST /purge-tombstone/{name}` — wipe a tombstone's state dirs.
- `POST /answer-question/{id}` — answer a pending operator question.
- `POST /cancel-question/{id}` — cancel a pending question with
the sentinel `[cancelled]`. Same code path as a real answer.
- `POST /request-spawn` — queue a Spawn approval.
- `POST /update-all` — rebuild every stale container.
- `POST /api/rebuild-queue/{id}/cancel` — drop a `Queued` entry.
Refuses `Running` / terminal-state entries (in-flight
rebuilds can't be safely interrupted). Always 200; body is
`{"cancelled": true}` on a successful flip or
`{"cancelled": false}` when the entry was not in `Queued` state.
- `POST /api/agent/{name}/mark-all-read` — ack all pending broker
messages for `{name}`. Backfills `delivered_at` for rows
not yet delivered and sets `acked_at = now`. Returns
`{ "marked": N }`. Agent name validated against
`[a-z0-9_-]`, 1-63 chars; 400 on bad input.
- `POST /op-send` (`to=<name>`, `body=<text>`) — drop an
operator-authored message into `<name>`'s inbox. `to=*` fans
out to every registered agent. Returns 200; the broker
`Sent` event re-renders both the message-flow terminal and
the operator inbox without a snapshot refetch. Used by the
compose textbox under MESS4GE FL0W.
- `GET /api/build-logs/{agent}?limit=N` — most-recent build log
headers for one agent, newest first. Returns
`Vec<BuildLogHeader>` (JSON): `id`, `agent`, `kind`, `cmdline`,
`started_at`, `finished_at`, `status` (`"ok"` / `"fail"` /
`null` while in-progress). `limit` defaults to 10, server-side
cap at 50. Agent name validated (`[a-z0-9_-]`, 1-63 chars).
- `GET /api/build-logs/id/{id}` — full build log by id. Returns
`BuildLogFull` (JSON): all header fields plus `stdout` and
`stderr` as plain text (newline-terminated lines, utf-8). HTTP
404 when the row is missing (vacuum-reaped or stale id).
- `GET /api/journal/{name}?unit=&lines=` — journalctl viewer for
a managed container; rendered in the side panel.
- `GET /api/approval-diff/{id}?base=applied|approved|previous`
on-demand unified diff for an `ApplyCommit` approval against
the chosen base (running tree / last approved proposal /
previous queued proposal). Raw diff text, classified
client-side. `GET /static/marked.js` serves the vendored
`marked` bundle the side panel uses for markdown previews.
- `GET /api/state-file?path=<host-or-container-path>` — bounded
text read of a file under the per-agent `state/` subtree or
the shared `/var/lib/hyperhive/shared/`. Accepts the
container-view forms (`/agents/<n>/state/...`, `/shared/...`)
and the host form. Canonicalises + verifies the path stays
inside the allow-list, refuses anything but a regular file,
refuses `/agents/<n>/claude` / `config` subtrees, truncates
bodies at 1 MiB. Click-time backing for the inline path-link
preview.
Detection of which tokens *are* path links is done
**server-side at broker-message ingest**, not client-side:
the broker forwarder calls `scan_validated_paths(body)`
same allow-list helper the read endpoint uses — and attaches
the verified file tokens to the event as `file_refs: Vec<String>`.
The client trusts that list and linkifies only those tokens,
so directories, missing files, and forbidden subtrees never
become anchors. No probe endpoint, no client-side regex
heuristics. Historical messages get the same treatment on
`/dashboard/history` backfill.
- `GET /api/reminders` — list pending reminders for the
dashboard's queued-reminders panel.
- `POST /cancel-reminder/{id}` — hard-delete a pending reminder.
- `POST /retry-reminder/{id}` — re-arm a reminder whose delivery
failed (clears the failure state so the scheduler retries).
- `GET /api/schedules` — list all schedules (active and
recently cancelled) for the SYST3M scheduled-prompts panel.
- `POST /api/schedules` — operator-direct schedule create:
`{ targets, body, first_fire_at_unix, interval_seconds?, description? }`.
Agent-initiated schedules go through the approval queue instead
(manager MCP `request_schedule_prompt`).
- `PATCH /api/schedules/{id}` — partial edit. JSON body
`{ body?, description?, interval_seconds?, next_fire_at_unix?,
targets_add?, targets_remove? }`.
Missing key = "leave alone"; explicit `null` on
`description` / `interval_seconds` clears the field (so a
recurring schedule flips to one-shot when `interval_seconds`
is sent as `null`). `targets_add` is replace-on-conflict:
re-adding a previously-cancelled target drops the tombstone
and the target starts fresh (operator intent on re-add =
"this target is active again"). `targets_remove` delegates
to the same path as `cancel_targets` — tombstones preserve
audit, parent schedule auto-cancels when no active targets
remain. Refuses cancelled rows; returns the updated
`WireSchedule` on success.
- `POST /api/schedules/{id}/cancel` — cancel a schedule. Body
`{ targets?: ["name", …] }` cancels just those recipients;
absent or empty body cancels the whole schedule.
- `POST /api/schedules/{id}/fire-now` — out-of-band manual
pulse. Fires the schedule body once immediately to
every active target. Recurring schedules: `next_fire_at_unix`
is untouched; the regular cadence continues. One-shots: the
schedule is consumed (cancelled) after the manual fan-out.
Per-target `last_result` is annotated as a manual fire so
the audit trail distinguishes scheduled fires from operator-
triggered ones.
- `POST /meta-update``nix flake update` the selected
`meta/flake.lock` inputs, then rebuild the affected agents.
- `GET /dashboard/stream` — unified live event channel:
broker `sent` / `delivered`, plus the mutation events listed
below. Each frame carries `seq`.
- `GET /dashboard/history` — last ~200 broker messages
(wrapped as `{ seq, events }`) for the message-flow
terminal's backfill on page load.
## Dashboard event channel
Wire vocabulary on `/dashboard/stream` (kind tag is in the JSON
payload):
- `sent` / `delivered` — broker traffic, mirrored from the
intra-process channel by a forwarder task. Both carry `id: i64`
(the broker row id) and `in_reply_to: Option<i64>` for thread
rendering. The dashboard message-flow terminal renders reply
rows with a `↳ reply` tag that scroll-highlights the parent
row on click. Used by the message-flow terminal renderer and
the operator-inbox derived state.
- `approval_added` (id, agent, approval_kind, sha_short, diff,
description) / `approval_resolved` (id, agent, approval_kind,
sha_short, status, resolved_at, note, description) — pending
queue + history mutations. Client mutates a derived store and
re-renders only the approvals section.
- `question_added` (id, asker, question, options, multi,
asked_at, deadline_at, target) / `question_resolved` (id,
answer, answerer, answered_at, cancelled, target) — both
operator-targeted and peer (agent-to-agent) threads fire
these. The dashboard's questions pane surfaces both, with
filter chips (all / @operator / @peer / per-participant) and
an `0V3RR1D3` button on peer rows so the operator can
answer when an agent is stuck. The ttl watchdog fires
`question_resolved` with `answerer = "ttl-watchdog"` on
expiry.
- `transient_set` (name, transient_kind, since_unix) /
`transient_cleared` (name) — lifecycle action spinners. The
client ticks the elapsed-seconds badge off `since_unix`
client-side, no polling.
- `container_state_changed` (container: ContainerView) /
`container_removed` (name) — per-row container mutations,
emitted by `Coordinator::rescan_containers_and_emit` from
every mutation site (`actions::approve` post-spawn,
`actions::destroy`, the lifecycle_action wrapper,
`auto_update::rebuild_agent`) and from the 10s
`crash_watch` poll. Client upserts/removes by name; the
pending overlay is read from `transientsState` since the
payload doesn't carry it.
- `rebuild_queue_changed` (seq, queue: `Vec<QueueEntry>`) —
full snapshot of the rebuild queue on every mutation (enqueue,
state transition, dedup collapse, terminal-history trim).
Same snapshot-over-diff rationale as `tombstones_changed` /
`meta_inputs_changed`: the list is small and the client's
`parent_id` grouping is most naturally re-derived from the
full list. Cold-loaded from `/api/state.rebuild_queue`.
`/api/state` is **only fetched on cold-load and on the few
forms that mutate non-event-derived state** (PURG3 +
meta-update, since tombstones + meta_inputs aren't event-
shaped yet). Every other section — approvals, questions,
transients, containers, operator inbox, message flow —
derives from `/dashboard/stream` after the initial snapshot,
maintaining its own client-side store and applying events on
top. The 5s periodic poll is gone.
Generalised form helpers: `form[data-confirm="…"]` pops
`confirm()` before submit; `form[data-prompt="…"]` pops
`prompt()` and stashes the answer in a hidden input named by
`data-prompt-field` (default `note`).

- `GET /``index.html` from the bundled frontend dist (see
`frontend/`). Both binaries' routers declare their dynamic
endpoints first and then `fallback_service(ServeDir::new(...))`
pointed at `HIVE_STATIC_DIR` — anything not matched by an API or
action route is served from the dist. Dashboard dist lives at
`${frontend}/dashboard`; per-agent dist is the merged
`hyperhive.frontend.mergedDist` (default agent dist + per-agent
`extraFiles` overlay).
- `GET /static/*` → bundled CSS + JS produced by esbuild
(`frontend/packages/{dashboard,agent}/build.mjs`). Both pages
pull the shared terminal pane + Catppuccin palette + typography
from `@hive/shared` (was `hive-fr0nt`); the CSS bundle inlines
`base.css` + `terminal.css` via esbuild's `@import` resolution.
`terminal.js` exports `{ create, linkify }` as ES module
members (no more `window.HiveTerminal` global outside the
back-compat shim the IIFE bodies still use). The dashboard's
`#msgflow` and the per-agent `#live` log are both backed by
this terminal — sticky-bottom auto-scroll, "↓ N new" pill,
history backfill, SSE plumbing all live there. Each page
registers a kind→renderer map; unknown kinds fall through to
a JSON-dump note row. Bare `http(s)://` URLs in row text are
turned into clickable new-tab links by `linkify` (text-node
based, no `innerHTML` — XSS-safe); markdown bodies get the
same treatment via `marked`'s autolink (npm dep, replacing the
vendored UMD bundle), with the rendered `<a>`s rewritten to
`target="_blank"`.
- `GET /api/state` → JSON snapshot the JS app renders into the
DOM. Includes a top-level `seq` (the dashboard event channel's
high-water mark at the moment the snapshot was assembled);
clients use it to dedupe their buffered SSE traffic against
the snapshot (drop frames with `seq <= snapshot.seq`).
- `GET /dashboard/stream` (dashboard) / `GET /events/stream`
(per-agent) → `text/event-stream` SSE for live updates. The
dashboard stream carries broker `Sent` / `Delivered` (mirrored
by a forwarder task from the broker's intra-process channel)
plus mutation events (`approval_added` / `approval_resolved`,
`question_added` / `question_resolved`, `transient_set` /
`transient_cleared`). Each frame carries a `seq`. The
matching backfill endpoint is `GET /dashboard/history` (last
~200 broker messages wrapped in `{ seq, events }`) on the
dashboard and `GET /events/history` (last 2000 `LiveEvent`s
also wrapped in `{ seq, events }`) on the agent.
**SSE multiplexing**: the dashboard uses a
`SharedWorker` (`stream-worker.js`) to hold one upstream
`EventSource` per URL. All same-origin tabs share this worker
— a second dashboard tab joins the existing connection rather
than opening a duplicate. The worker fans SSE events out to
each subscribed tab via `MessagePort`; on bfcache restore the
page re-subscribes (gets a synthetic `open` event immediately
if the upstream is already connected). Falls back gracefully
when `SharedWorker` is unavailable (e.g. some private-mode
browsers). **Worker-death self-heal**: Firefox kills
"idle" SharedWorkers under memory pressure with no client-side
signal — the port silently goes no-op. The worker now pings
every connected port every 30s; the client bumps a
last-activity timestamp on every message (incl. pings, which
carry no URL — bumped before the URL filter). A
visibility-gated watchdog polls every 15s and, if the page is
visible AND has active subs AND hasn't heard from the worker
in >90s (three missed pings), presumes the worker dead and
re-subscribes on a fresh `SharedWorker` port (same code path
bfcache-restore uses). Recovery is per-tab; pings are
invisible on the healthy path.
## Shared terminal pane
Both surfaces' scrollable log streams (`#msgflow` on the dashboard,
`#live` on the per-agent page) are backed by the shared terminal
factory in `@hive/shared/terminal.js`. The factory wires up
sticky-bottom auto-scroll, a "↓ N new" pill, history backfill, and
SSE replay. Pages register a `kind → renderer` map; unknown kinds
fall through to a JSON-dump note row. The factory ships three row
shapes the renderers call:
- `api.row(cls, text)` — single-line row with an inline `linkify`
pass over the text.
- `api.details(cls, summary, body)` — collapsible `<details>` with
a `<pre>` body (used by long tool-results and stack traces).
- `api.detailsDiff(cls, summary, body)` — same shape, splits the
body on newlines and tags each line as `diff-add` / `diff-del` /
`diff-ctx` so the renderer's diff bodies get coloured without
emitting raw HTML.
**Sticky-bottom + snap animation.** `stickToBottom` is the
operator's intent: true means "keep snapping to bottom on every
mutation", false means "I scrolled up, leave me alone". The flag
flips when a scroll event lands further than `NEAR_BOTTOM_PX = 48`
from the bottom. New rows then either snap to bottom (when sticky)
or bump the unseen-count and surface the "↓ N new" pill. The snap
is a brief 140ms ease-out (`SCROLL_ANIM_MS`) — the browser's
default `behavior: 'smooth'` ~500ms reads as "still smooth, but
visibly slow"; 140ms feels snap-y while still reading as motion
rather than a jump. Distances under `SCROLL_SNAP_PX = 24`
short-circuit to instant — animating a 12px nudge would just be
jitter. Each new snap cancels the previous `requestAnimationFrame`
so a burst of mutations coalesces into one ride to the latest
bottom; the per-frame step re-reads `scrollHeight - clientHeight`
so mutations landing mid-animation extend the destination smoothly
rather than land short.
**Mid-animation scroll-event guard.** The scroll handler's
`isNearBottom` check would flip `stickToBottom` false mid-snap as
the smooth animation eases through positions that are technically
"not near bottom yet", which would strand the operator partway. A
`smoothScrollingUntil` timestamp gates the scroll handler — set to
the animation end + ~80ms headroom, re-armed on each fresh snap.
Programmatic `scrollTop` writes (the animation's per-frame update)
fire scroll events that the gate swallows.
**Post-append `MutationObserver`.** Renderers commonly call
`api.row(cls, text)` to create the row shell then append more
children (badges, multi-line bodies, tool result panes) after the
factory returned. The initial sticky-snap fires off the row's
empty shape; the renderer's later appends grow the row past the
visible bottom. A `MutationObserver` on the log subtree fires once
per microtask after each batch of synchronous mutations and snaps
again when `stickToBottom` is true. Programmatic `scrollTop`
writes don't re-trigger the observer (scroll isn't a DOM
mutation), so no feedback loop. The pre-append
`nearBottomBeforeAppend` snapshot is still useful — it keeps the
initial visual lag to one frame instead of one microtask + frame.
**Backfill + SSE.** Cold load fetches `historyUrl` (replay), then
subscribes to `streamUrl` (live tail). Both endpoints return
`{ seq, events }` so the client can dedupe — events with
`seq <= snapshot.seq` from the SSE stream are dropped silently
(the snapshot already covers them). History rows render with a
`.no-anim` class so they don't stagger in like live events. The
optional `streamFactory(url)` callback lets the dashboard hand
the factory a `SharedWorker`-backed `EventSource` facade (so
multiple tabs share one upstream connection — see *SSE
multiplexing* above); when omitted, the factory falls back to a
plain `new EventSource(url)`.
**`linkify` (text-node based).** Bare `http(s)://` URLs in row
text get wrapped in `<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">`
inside a fresh text node, so the autolinker never touches
`innerHTML` and untrusted row content can't smuggle markup. The
trailing-punctuation strip keeps `.,;:` outside the link surface.
Markdown bodies go through `marked` separately and get the same
target rewrite.
The JS app handles all `form[data-async]` submissions via a delegated
listener: read `data-confirm`, swap the button to a spinner, POST
`application/x-www-form-urlencoded`, re-enable the button on success
(refreshState may keep the form mounted, so we don't rely on a
re-render), call `refreshState()`. State shapes live in
`dashboard.rs::StateSnapshot` and `web_ui.rs::StateSnapshot` — when
adding state fields, plumb through the snapshot struct and the
relevant `assets/tabs.js` render function.
**Focus preservation:** `refreshState` checks whether
`document.activeElement` sits inside one of the managed sections
and, if so, skips the refresh (defers 2s). The operator never has
the form yanked out from under them mid-type; the update lands as
soon as they blur.
**Atomic section repaint:** every managed-section renderer goes
through `paintAtomic(liveRoot, build)`: the builder appends into
a fresh `DocumentFragment` (off-DOM) and the commit is one
`replaceChildren` call. The naive `root.innerHTML = ''; root.append(...)`
shape was visibly flashing empty on every poll cycle — on async
paths the await yield gave the browser a paint opportunity between
the clear and the re-append, and on complex builds (many `el()`
allocations) layout could escape the per-task budget even on the
synchronous path. The fragment approach keeps the intermediate
empty state invisible. Builders receive the fragment as their
`root`, so existing renderer code carries over unchanged; early
returns inside the builder still commit whatever was appended
before they returned.
**`<details>` open-state preservation:** any collapsible element
tagged with `data-restore-key="<stable-key>"` survives the
refresh. `snapshotOpenDetails()` walks managed sections before
render, `restoreOpenDetails()` re-applies after. Long-content
drill-ins (file previews, diffs, journald logs) now open in the
**side panel** (see below) rather than expanding inline, so the
only restore-keyed `<details>` left is the answered-questions
history list.
**Side panel (dashboard):** long content opens in a drawer that
swipes in from the right — a singleton `#side-panel` with a
titled header, a close button, and a scrollable body. Closes on
the button, a backdrop click, or `Escape`. `Panel.open(title,
node)` swaps the body; the JS builders for file previews,
approval diffs, and journald logs all render into it. **The
drawer width is drag-to-resize**: a thin 6px hit-strip on
the left edge captures pointer events, resizes the drawer in
real-time (pointer capture keeps dragging even if the cursor
outpaces the handle), and persists the chosen width to
`localStorage` (key `hyperhive:side-panel-width`) so it
survives page reload. Width is clamped to CSS `min-width: 320px`
/ `max-width: 96vw`; the viewport-resize handler re-clamps
persisted values after a window shrink. File
previews are type-aware:
- **Markdown** (`.md` / `.markdown`) — a `rendered` / `plain`
tabbed view: `rendered` (default) is the vendored `marked`
bundle (`GET /static/marked.js`), `plain` is the raw source.
- **SVG** (`.svg`) — a `rendered` / `source` tabbed view;
`rendered` shows the image via an `<img>` `data:` URI (the
browser's secure static mode, so an untrusted SVG can't run
scripts), `source` shows the raw markup.
- **Raster images** (`.png` / `.jpg` / `.gif` / `.webp` /
`.bmp` / `.ico` / `.avif`) — render as an `<img>` pointed at
`/api/state-file`, which serves them as binary with their
real content-type (text files stay UTF-8-lossy `text/plain`).
- **Everything else** — raw text in a `<pre>`.
## Listener bind
Both bind their TCP listener with `SO_REUSEADDR` via
`tokio::net::TcpSocket` plus a retry loop on `AddrInUse`
(exponential backoff capped at 2s, **no attempt cap**) so an nspawn
restart that races the previous process's socket release resolves
itself. The retry is uncapped on purpose: a capped budget once
left the harness silently UI-less for the rest of its lifetime
when a back-to-back restart held the port longer than the cap
allowed. Genuine port collisions are preflighted host-side
(`lifecycle::{spawn,rebuild}` refuses with a clear error,
surfaced on the dashboard as a banner), so at this layer a
persistent `AddrInUse` always reflects a recoverable stale
socket — retrying forever is the safe choice. The first 12
attempts log at WARN; after that the level drops to INFO so a
long-held stale socket doesn't flood the journal.
The per-agent UI optionally binds a `UnixListener` instead of
TCP when `HIVE_WEB_SOCKET` is set — the unix-socket transition
mechanics (per-agent `/run/hive-agent/<name>/` bind-mount,
`.bound` marker filtering, `agent-sockets.json` consumer on the
gateway side) live in [`docs/gateway.md::Per-agent unix-socket
upstream`](gateway.md). The env var is opt-in per agent so the
two modes coexist while sub-agents transition.
## Per-agent relative paths
The per-agent UI uses **document-relative paths everywhere** for
assets, API calls, form actions, and the screen WebSocket. Bare
references like `static/app.js`, `api/state`, `events/stream`,
`screen/ws` resolve against `document.baseURI` — the page's URL
without its last path segment.
That makes the page work under any prefix the agent ends up mounted
at without rebuilding the dist. The cases that matter:
| served at | `api/state` resolves to |
|---|---|
| `/` (own port, today's shape) | `/api/state` |
| `/agent/iris/` (gateway-prefixed) | `/agent/iris/api/state` |
| `/agent/iris/stats` (subpage, no trailing slash) | `/agent/iris/api/state` |
The gateway upstream config strips the prefix before forwarding to
the per-agent server, so the agent's Rust routes (`api/state`,
`events/stream`, `screen/ws`, `login/start`, …) keep their absolute
paths server-side. Only the browser-facing URLs are gated on the
mount prefix.
Subpages (`stats`, `screen`) are served without a trailing slash so
the relative-path resolution stays correct: `static/app.js` from
`/stats` becomes `/static/app.js` (last segment `stats` gets
replaced), not `/stats/static/app.js`. Adding a trailing slash to
those routes would break the resolution; either keep them
slash-less or use `<base href>` injection at serve time.
