Background shell execution via `hive-bash-daemon`. Tools land as
`mcp__bash__<tool>` (the MCP server name is `bash`, not `hyperhive`).
Available on every agent by default — `nix/agent-modules/mcp.nix` injects
bash into `hyperhive.extraMcpServers` via `lib.mkDefault` (with
`allowedTools = ["*"]`), so `mcp__bash__*` is in `--allowedTools` for
every claude invocation regardless of tool groups. Default rather than
unconditional: an `agent.nix` can override or drop the entry.
`nix/agent-modules/mcp.nix` registers bash into `hyperhive.extraMcpServers`
by default (`lib.mkDefault`, with `allowedTools = ["*"]`) — an `agent.nix`
can override or drop the entry, so this is a default, not an
unconditional grant. Even where the entry is present, the server is only
actually rendered into an agent's claude config when the agent also
holds the **`execution`** tool group: `extra_server_required_group` in
`hive-agent/src/mcp_config.rs` suppresses it entirely without that
group, so an agent lacking `execution` gets no `mcp__bash__*` tools at
all, not just an unused grant. See "Relationship to the `execution` tool
group" below.

## Relationship to the `execution` tool group
`ToolGroup::Execution` exists and appears in `AGENT_DEFAULT`, but its
`tools()` returns `["run", "status"]` which the harness expands to
`mcp__hyperhive__run` / `mcp__hyperhive__status` — tools that don't
exist in the hyperhive MCP server (dead entries). Removing `execution`
from an agent's groups has no effect on bash availability.
`nix/agent-modules/mcp.nix` registers Bash separately via the `extraMcpServers` path described above.
`ToolGroup::Execution` (in `AGENT_DEFAULT`) is the real gate on bash: it
controls whether the `bash` MCP server is rendered into the agent's
claude config at all (`extra_server_required_group` in
`hive-agent/src/mcp_config.rs`), suppressing every `mcp__bash__*` tool
when absent — not just leaving them unused. Its own `tools()` returns
`&[]` and stays that way: `mcp__bash__run`/`status`/`kill` belong to a
different, out-of-process MCP server (`bash`, not `hyperhive`), so they
were never real entries in the `mcp__hyperhive__*` allowlist `tools()`
builds — the two dead `["run", "status"]` strings it used to return
matched nothing and have been removed. Removing `execution` from an
agent's groups **does** remove bash availability.
