hive-claude 0.1.3 spawns claude as the leader of its own process group,
and its `Cancel::cancel` and idle watchdog signal that group instead of
claude's pid alone. Commands claude started (a `nix build`, a test run)
used to survive a subagent `interrupt` and keep running.
Bump hive-claude to 0.1.3. The subagent `interrupt` call site needs no
code change: `Cancel::cancel(force)` kept its signature.
The harness's `/cancel` and `/logout` did not go through hive-claude:
they ran `kill -INT <pid>` on the claude child they found in /proc. They
now SIGINT the group that child leads, through `libc::kill`. A `claude`
child that leads no group (the `claude plugin` calls) shares the
harness's group and is still signalled alone.
Tests: an interrupted subagent's grandchild dies, for both SIGINT and
`force`, and fails on hive-claude 0.1.2; a harness cancel stops a
turn's grandchild, and fails when only the pid is signalled.
post_mark_todos_done's body moves into mark_ids_done, which takes the
per-id dial as a closure, so tests cover the 500 and 200 responses without
reaching the live in-agent socket.
post_mark_todos_done dropped every dial failure and Response::Err and
answered 200 {"acked":0}, so the todos panel showed "marked done" and
cleared its checkboxes while the todos stayed. Any failing id now fails
the request with a 500 naming how many ids failed; the panel already
shows non-OK bodies as "failed: ...".
Whether a header goes out was split between `run()` (clear `last` on a
refresh) and `publish()` (skip a payload equal to `last`), and only the
refresh cadence was tested: deleting the clear kept every test green.
The decision is now the pure `due(trigger, last, payload)`, which
`publish()` calls, with tests that an unchanged payload is not sent on
an event, is sent on a refresh, a changed one is sent on either, and a
refresh that then fails to send is re-sent by the next event.
Behaviour is unchanged.
Refs #5034
The header on `$SWARM.agent-state.<agent>` went out only when a bus event
changed it, and the core subject keeps nothing for a late subscriber. An
idle agent therefore said nothing to a reader that attached after its
last change: swarm-controller after a restart showed `effective: null`
for that agent until its next turn, which can be hours.
The publish loop now also wakes every 60 s and re-sends the current
header through the same `publish` path (clearing the dedup state first).
Transitions still go out as they happen. Same subject, same grant.
An agent whose queue connection is down now logs `swarm agent state:
publish skipped` once a minute even while idle, so the
`hh-swarm-agent-state-publish-skipped` alert also fires for idle
disconnected agents, not only busy ones.
Refs #5034
Each agent now reports the model and effort it runs on, and where each
comes from (`swarm`, `agent_nix`, `local_file` or `default`), in its
turn-state header on `$SWARM.agent-state.<agent>`: `effort`,
`model_source` and `effort_source` join `model`. The shared
`swarm_queue_client::agent_inference::{Effective, Source}` types spell
those fields for both ends.
The Bus keeps a source next to the model and effort. `Bus::new` takes it
from the local fallback chain (`harness_state::local_model` /
`local_effort`, which now return the source with the value), a `/model`
or `/effort` pick sets `local_file`, and the swarm poller sets `swarm`
or, on a clear, the local chain's source. A swarm value equal to the one
the agent already runs is now applied once, so the source moves to
`swarm` and the header is republished; before, `next()` skipped it as
unchanged.
swarm-controller subscribes to every agent's header with the reader
grant it already holds for the state relay, and keeps the latest
inference fields per agent in memory (`inference::Reported`).
`GET /api/agents/{name}/inference` now answers
`{configured, effective}`, `effective` being `null` until the agent's
first header with these fields since the controller started.
`swarmctl agent inference get` prints both; `set` reads `configured`.
Refs #5034
swarm-controller keeps each agent's inference settings in a new
`agent-inference` KV bucket, one key per agent, and is its only writer
(`GET`/`PUT`/`DELETE /api/agents/{name}/inference`; `swarmctl agent
inference get|set|clear`). Every field is optional. Each agent reads its
own key every 10 s through a direct-get grant on that key alone, and a
set `model` or `effort` replaces the Bus value, so the next turn runs on
it and the badge follows.
The swarm value is applied without persisting it: `Bus::set_model` and
`set_effort` are split into a persisting setter and a non-persisting
`apply_*`, and the poller uses the latter. Otherwise the swarm value
would overwrite `hyperhive-model`/`hyperhive-effort`, and clearing it, or
a restart, would no longer find the agent's own value. An unset field
changes nothing; a field cleared after being applied goes back to the
local value (`harness_state::local_model`/`local_effort`, the same
resolution `Bus::new` uses), read again at the clear.
`subagent_models` is validated, stored and shown by `get`; no agent
applies it yet.
Refs #5034
The reader's subscribe allow-list spelled `$SWARM.term.*`,
`$SWARM.term.*.sub.*` and `$SWARM.agent-state.*` as literals, copies of
private prefixes in hive-agent and swarm-controller. A rename on either side
left the policy behind and the stream stopped with only a connection-level
server error.
swarm-queue-client now owns `term_subject`, `agent_state_subject` and their
`*_wildcard` forms, and `subagent_term::subject_wildcard`; hive-agent's
publishers, swarm-controller's relays and the policy all build from them.
Subjects are byte-identical.
The docs, option descriptions and comments that named the swarm root, the
swarm CA or the hive CA as an existing trust anchor now name the secret
store's pki root or the trust bundle that holds it:
- docs/swarm/README.md, secrets.md, bao.md
- deploy.bao.clientCaFile's and gateway.verifiedProxyTo's descriptions
- comments in hive-c0re/src/meta.rs, hive-agent/src/swarm_queue.rs,
swarm-logs/src/auth.rs, swarm-controller/src/vcs_metrics.rs,
hive-forge, swarm-authelia, swarm-ci-runner, glue-bao-tls, swarm-bao,
swarm-grafana, swarm-otel, otel, hive-c0re, lib/hive-ca-trust.nix,
hive-forge/Cargo.toml and the flake-update workflow
Nothing behaves differently: every edit is a nix, Rust or TOML comment, an
option description, or a test assertion message. The Rust edits change the
workspace source, which this PR already rebuilds for hivectl.
Refs #4588
Nothing submits an approval since scheduled prompts left hive-c0re, so the
queue only acted on rows written before that.
- hive-c0re: the approvals store and its migrations, approve/deny/
resolve actions, the ResolveApproval tail node (and meta_update's
approval_id), POST /api/approve and /api/deny, the approval views on
/api/state, the approval_resolved dashboard event, the orphan GC,
destroy/purge failing pending rows, and the approval rows in
get_loose_ends. DestroyBookkeeping loses the purge flag, which only
worded the approval-failure note.
- The CancelLooseEnd request goes: its only hive-c0re arm was the
approval one. cancel_loose_end handles reminder and todo in the harness.
- Wire types: hive_sh4re::approvals (ReminderStats moves to inbox),
LooseEnd::Approval, CancelLooseEndKind, HelperEvent::ApprovalResolved,
ToolGroup::Approvals, HostRequest::{Pending,Approve,Deny} and
HostResponse.approvals. HOST_SOCK_VERSION goes to 2 for the removed
field.
- hivectl loses the approvals verbs; docs/tools/hivectl-cli.md is
regenerated.
- The system prompt drops approval_resolved.
- The approvals table stays in broker.sqlite, unread, the same way the
operator_questions table was left when its store was removed.
- An `approvals` entry still in tool-groups.json is skipped with a warning
by ToolGroup::parse_list, like any unknown group.
- docs/agent-lifecycle/approvals.md is renamed to config-changes.md so the
code's doc pointers resolve; its content follows in the docs commit.
An agent's harness connects to the swarm queue with the agent's own
credential or not at all. The first connect retries after 5s, doubling
(7 attempts, about five minutes), with a warning per failed attempt;
when every attempt fails the harness logs an error and exits 1. Missing
coordinates (HIVE_AGENT_NATS_URL, or the secret store's BAO_ADDR /
HIVE_AGENT_NAME / certificate) fail the boot outright.
Previously the first connect's outcome was memoized for the life of the
process: a store 403 or queue refusal at boot left the agent on the
hive's shared client, or disconnected, until someone restarted it, and
an agent with no queue coordinates ran on without one. Both paths are
gone, with the hive-scoped subjects that only the shared client used.
The harness unit now restarts after 30s instead of 2s, so a swarm-wide
outage doesn't restart every agent every 2s, and has no start limit, so
it keeps coming back however long the outage lasts.
The hive's shared client credential is still imported into the harness
unit for swarm-logs; the two HIVE_AGENT_OIDC_*_FILE variables that
pointed the harness at it are dropped, as is the unset
HIVE_AGENT_OIDC_CA_FILE override.
With the fallback gone, the pieces #4944 added only for it go too:
swarm_input's skip-on-shared-client branch and swarm-queue-client's
connect_with_inbox_prefix. swarm-nats-auth's grant for the hive's shared
agent client is unchanged.
Closes#4909
Scheduled prompts are swarm-level now (swarmctl schedule, #4936). The hive
keeps the rows it has only so the operator can copy them over.
- hive-c0re no longer fires anything: the scheduled-prompts worker is gone,
and with it every create/edit/cancel/pause/resume/fire path (dashboard
endpoints, agent-socket verbs, the SchedulePrompt approval kind and its
approve handler). The store keeps open + list; GET /api/schedules stays.
- A v6 approvals migration drops schedule_prompt rows.
- Nothing submits approvals any more, so the submit path goes too:
Approvals::submit_kind (now a test fixture), the ApprovalAdded dashboard
event and its emitter.
- Coordinator::push_todo, whose only caller was the worker, goes, and with
it hive_host_sock::agent_todo_socket and hive-c0re's hive-agent-sock /
hive-sock-client deps.
- The schedules_changed dashboard event goes; nothing mutates the rows.
- Agents lose request_schedule_prompt, cancel_schedule, fire_schedule_now,
edit_schedule and list_schedules, the `scheduling` tool group, their
system-prompt line and their transcript formatters. `remind` is unchanged.
An agent's queue credential could subscribe to every subject in the swarm
account, so any agent could read every other agent's terminal, turn state,
operator input and request replies. Agents are the least trusted clients
on the queue (mara's ruling on #4901), so their grants now carry a
subscribe allow-list:
- an agent's own credential (the harness and its subagent daemon):
`_INBOX.agent.<agent>.>` and `$SWARM.input.<agent>`
- the hive's shared agent client: `_INBOX.client.<client-id>.>`
Hive and swarm-controller grants are unchanged (no `sub` claim, so still
every subject).
The clients connect with the matching inbox prefix, so the replies they
rely on still arrive: the icon write's JetStream ack and the schedule
DIRECT.GET. `connect_with_token` takes the agent name and sets the prefix
itself; the hive-shared fallback uses the new
`connect_with_inbox_prefix`.
The harness no longer subscribes to its input subject when it fell back
to the hive's shared client: that identity names no agent, so it cannot
be granted one agent's input without all of them. It logs that and
skips, the same as the schedule reader on that path.
Refs #4901
swarm-controller keeps every scheduled prompt (id, name, agents, body,
anchor, interval, paused) as one document under one key of a new
`schedule-definitions` KV bucket, so each change is a single
compare-and-set and a prompt exists for all of its agents or none. It
writes each agent's key of a new `agent-schedules` bucket as the prompts
naming that agent, without names or other agents, after every change and
on a one-minute reconcile pass. It is the only writer of both, behind
GET/POST /api/schedules and PATCH/DELETE /api/schedules/{id}.
`swarmctl schedule add|list|edit|pause|resume|rm` drives those routes over
the controller socket.
An agent's own queue credential is granted one more subject, the direct
get of its own key in `agent-schedules`. A KV watch is not granted: its
consumer create subject carries no key, so it would cover every agent's.
hive-agent's new schedule ticker reads that key every 10 seconds and fires
due slots as the same `schedule:<id>` todo hive-c0re's worker pushes. Fire
times are anchor + k*interval; the last fired slot per schedule id is kept
in the state db, so a body edit or list refresh never moves or refires a
slot, downtime fires the latest missed slot once, a restart refires
nothing, a one-shot fires once, and paused slots are skipped.

gate the big-dir todo on agent_footprint_bytes() >= 3*BIG_DIR_BYTES (15gib)
in addition to the existing pct/empty-dirs checks, so a small agent whose
disk-usage% crosses the warn line because the *filesystem* is full (not
because this agent owns much of it) stays silent even when big_dirs()
happens to name one oversized subdir inside an otherwise small tree.
closes#4635
The agent view in the swarm UI gets a message box. The text reaches the
agent's harness straight from swarm-controller over the swarm queue and
becomes an inbox turn from the operator's authelia username. hive-c0re is
not in the path.
- gateway: `/api/` forwards authelia's `Remote-User`, replacing any the
client sent.
- swarm-controller: `POST /api/agents/{name}/input` takes that header as
the sender (401 without it) and sends `{from, body}` as a NATS request
on `$SWARM.input.<agent>`. No subscriber is a 503.
- swarm-nats-auth: the controller is granted publish on `$SWARM.input.*`;
no hive or agent grant names the family, so the harness can trust
`from`.
- hive-agent: a task subscribes to the agent's own input subject and
pushes each message into the serve loop's existing reminder channel,
renamed `local_msg_*` since it now carries both.
The harness does not reply to the request: no agent grant covers a reply
subject. The controller therefore answers 202 once the request times out
(2s) and 503 on the server's no-responders status.
Closes#4828
An agent's subagent daemon publishes each subagent's output as terminal
rows on `$SWARM.term.<agent>.sub.<subagent>`, as the agent, into a
per-agent stream it creates itself; swarm-controller lists an agent's
subagents from that stream's subjects and relays one subagent's rows as
SSE; the swarm UI lists them under the agent's terminal preview and
reuses AgentTermPreview, full-screen tab included, with no input.
- swarm-nats.nix: the agent token may also publish
`$SWARM.term.{agent}.sub.>` and `$JS.API.STREAM.CREATE|INFO` on
`term-sub-{agent}`, and nothing else of JetStream. A module-eval arm
pins the agent-token grant as an exact list.
- mcp.nix: hive-subagent-daemon loads the agent's store identity
(`hive-agent-bao-cert/-key/-server-ca`, the ones hive-agent loads)
whenever the agent has a store, not only on the opencode preset. The
agent's own queue secret lives in the store, so this is the credential
the harness connects with.
- hive-subagent-mcp: `swarm_term` reads the agent's queue secret under
that identity, connects with the agent token, opens or creates
`term-sub-<agent>` (max_age 24h), and publishes classified rows from
the sink every subagent line already passes through. The sink only
queues (bounded, drop-and-count); a missing store, refused credential,
failed stream create or failed publish is a log line.
- The stream-json classifier (`stream_enrich`) and the `TermMsg` row
types plus `fit` move from the hive-agent binary into hive-sh4re, so
the subagent daemon publishes the rows AgentTermPreview already
renders. hive-agent keeps its LiveEvent classifier on top.
- swarm-controller: `GET /api/agents/{name}/subagents` and
`GET /api/agents/{name}/subagents/{subagent}/term/stream`.
- docs/swarm: what the UI shows and what the queue carries.
Closes#4827
An ACP agent's `usage_update` carries `cost.{amount,currency}`, the
session's running total (opencode sums every assistant message in the
session). hive-runtime now reads it and turns the running total into
what each report added: a new session counts from zero, a session loaded
into a freshly started agent only baselines on its first report, and a
falling total adds nothing. The spend is held on the runtime until
`Runtime::take_reported_cost` drains it; claude's runtime reports none,
since the claude binary already exports `claude_code.cost.usage`.
hive-agent's existing turn-metrics meter records three new instruments:
- `hyperhive.agent.cost.usage` (counter, `model` + `currency`), ACP only;
- `hyperhive.agent.context.used` / `.size` (gauges, no attributes), for
every backend: the two numbers the web UI's ctx% divides.
The `hyperhive · agents` dashboard gets ACP cost panels on its cost tab
and a context-fill panel on its health tab.
Refs #4845
addresses argus's review on #4842 (c88740): fetch's success path was
silent when the response parsed but windows() found nothing to record.
should_warn_empty tracks the same once-per-streak shape as the
existing token-skip logging, reset the moment a response has windows
again, and never logs the body.
Also notes in the observability doc that a past resets_at means the
paired percent gauge is stale.
A detached task polls GET https://api.anthropic.com/api/oauth/usage every
5 minutes with the OAuth access token from ~/.claude/.credentials.json and
records, per window the response names (five_hour, seven_day,
seven_day_sonnet, ...):
- hyperhive.agent.claude_usage.percent (%, 0-100)
- hyperhive.agent.claude_usage.resets_at (s, unix seconds)
both labelled window=<name>. Endpoint, the anthropic-beta:
oauth-2025-04-20 header and the {utilization, resets_at} window shape are
taken from the claude-code 2.1.283 bundle's own /usage fetch.
The token is only read, never refreshed: claude owns refresh-token
rotation and a second refresher can log the agent out. An expired token
is skipped until claude's next turn refreshes it. API-key agents
(HIVE_USE_API_KEY, the ACP default) and agents with no credentials file
skip quietly, and the task does nothing when OTEL is not configured.
Request failures and non-2xx statuses warn with the status or transport
error only, never the body or the token.
When an ACP agent answered session/set_config_option with an error,
choose() only logged it, so the session's current value never moved and
offered_pickers() kept treating the refused model as pending: the picker
showed the refused model as current and hid the effort picker.
hive-runtime now keeps the refused value per category on Choices, exposed
as Choice::refused, set on the RPC error and cleared when the agent next
accepts a value for that category. offered_pickers() treats a refused
value as not settable, so the picker shows the session's actual model and
its effort levels.
The fake ACP agent gains REFUSE, which errors the first
session/set_config_option to that value.
Refs #4832 (ACP half only)
filter_offered_models logged its "no match" warning on every pickers() call;
pickers() runs on every /api/state poll (every 4s per open dashboard tab)
and on every post_set_model/post_set_effort call. Guard it with a
process-lifetime AtomicBool, threaded in explicitly so tests can use their
own instead of racing each other on a shared static.
Extract post_set_model/post_set_effort's ACP accept/refuse decision into a
pure accept_or_refuse() helper and add tests for it: an offered value is
accepted, an unoffered one is refused with 400, and an empty offered list
(before the first turn, or effort while a model switch is pending) refuses
with 400 too.
Not fixed here: a session refusing session/set_config_option leaves the
picker showing the refused value as pending indefinitely. Fixing it needs
hive-runtime to expose a real refused/pending distinction that Choice and
SessionChoices don't carry today, threaded through to hive-agent's
model_pending computation, plus a fake-agent test fixture that can
simulate an RPC refusal — a cross-crate change, not a small one.
Filter the ACP model picker's list by services.hyperhive.agent.availableModels: an
unconfigured agent (env absent) shows every model the session offers, a
configured list narrows the picker to whatever it names that the session
also offers (in the session's own order), and a configured list matching
none of the session's models (the claude names on an ACP agent that never
touched the option) falls back to showing everything, with one warning
naming the mismatch.
The nix option's default, the model-vs-availableModels build assertion and
hive-subagent-mcp's check_model rail are unchanged — this only touches the
web UI's picker.
An ACP agent's model and effort pickers now list what its session offers
(its `model` and `thought_level` config options) instead of the claude
model list and EFFORT_LEVELS. A pick goes through the same Bus::set_model /
Bus::set_effort -> Config.model / Config.effort path as on claude; before
each prompt the ACP runtime sets it with `session/set_config_option`, model
first, and only when the session offers that value. Options are re-read
from the set response and from `config_option_update`, so the effort picker
disappears when the chosen model offers no effort levels, and is hidden
while a newly picked model waits for the next turn.
The session's options reach the web UI through a `Choices` handle from a
new `Runtime::choices`, registered on the bus the way `canceller` is.
/api/model and /api/effort accept only offered values on ACP. The claude
path is unchanged.
Refs #4391
An ACP agent's session is now compacted like a claude one: proactively
once a turn crosses the percent-of-window watermark, and on the
operator's /compact or the agent's compact tool. Before, the ACP
backend's compact returned Unsupported and no watermark applied to it.
- AcpRuntime takes the same CompactionPolicy as ClaudeRuntime;
make_session builds one PercentPolicy (with CHECKPOINT_PROMPT) and hands
it to whichever backend runs.
- The runtime keeps the commands each session advertises in
available_commands_update. If `compact` is among them, compaction sends
the prompt `/compact` on the same session, which is how the ACP spec
runs an advertised command. A proactive compaction runs the checkpoint
turn first, as InfiniteSession does.
- With no compact command, the checkpoint turn runs, the session is
archived, and the next turn starts a new one with the system prompt.
- Error::Unsupported had no producer left, so it and drive_turn's
"/compact skipped" arm are gone.
Refs #4391
`/api/cancel` stopped a turn only by SIGINTing a child process whose argv0 is
`claude`, so on an ACP agent it reported "no claude process to interrupt"
and the turn ran on. The serve loop now stores the session's canceller on
the `Bus` when the runtime has one, and `/api/cancel` uses it: the agent is
sent `session/cancel`, and the next wake prompt carries the interrupted hint,
as for a signalled claude turn. Without a canceller (claude), the SIGINT path
is untouched.
An ACP turn stopped by the idle watchdog (`HIVE_TURN_IDLE_SECS`) becomes
`TurnError::AgentStall(note)`, handled like `ApiStall`: park for
`HIVE_STALL_SLEEP_SECS`, requeue, and record `api_stall`. The TurnEnd note
is the runtime's message (how long the agent was silent, whether it had to
be killed, and that a silently retried provider error such as HTTP 429
looks like this), not the claude-specific `ApiStall` text. A cancel the
agent ignores is a `Failed` turn.
Refs #4391
A permission request counted as an MCP tool call whenever its title
looked like `<server>_<tool>`, whatever its kind, and acp_permits
allowed MCP calls before looking at the kind. So an `execute` request
titled e.g. `hyperhive_x`, or a `fetch` without web_tools, was allowed.
MCP tool calls come with kind `other` (opencode's toToolKind maps every
tool it doesn't name, MCP tools included, to "other"). The runtime now
sets PermissionAsk::mcp_server only for kind `other`, and acp_permits
allows an MCP server's tool only under the `other` arm.
Refs #4391
acp_permits allows tools of the session's MCP servers, the read, edit
and search kinds, and fetch with web_tools; every other kind, including
execute, other and kinds it doesn't know, is refused. Before, anything
but execute (and fetch without web_tools) was allowed, which was only
safe while the preset's own config denied the risky built-ins.
Refs #4391
AgentSession becomes hive_runtime::AgentRuntime, picked at startup from
the environment. Unset HIVE_RUNTIME keeps the claude backend, built
from the same title, store and PercentPolicy as before; drive_turn,
the 401 retry and the error mapping see the claude errors unchanged.
On acp the harness keeps the session id in the harness dir, answers
permission requests like the claude built-in allow-list (no built-in
shell, web fetch only with web_tools), maps runtime errors to Failed,
and reports an operator /compact as skipped instead of done.
Refs #4391
The harness now reads swarm/agents/<agent>/queue from the store itself,
under the agent's own store certificate, and holds it in memory only.
It reads once before the first connect and again on every reconnect
attempt (async-nats `ConnectOptions::with_auth_callback`), so an agent
whose secret was re-minted reconnects with the new value instead of
being refused until the container restarts.
hive-agent-queue-credential.service, the /run file it wrote, and
HIVE_AGENT_QUEUE_AGENT_SECRET_FILE are gone; queue-identity.nix now
hands hive-agent.service the store address, its certificate paths and
the agent name.
A failed or empty read before the first connect still falls back to
the hive's shared client. Each read is bounded by a 10s timeout, and
retries wait out the existing reconnect backoff (500ms doubling, capped
at 60s).
Closes#4783
The controller's OIDC client secret (client `swarm-controller`, used for
the queue connection, the auth-bridge bearer and the OTLP push) came from
an operator-placed file, `deploy.swarm-controller.queue.clientSecretFile`,
handed in by `LoadCredential=`.
Now `swarm-secret-publish`, which already copies authelia's minted OIDC
secrets into the store, also publishes this one, to
`swarm/controller/swarm-controller/oidc/client`. That path sits under
`controller/`, which no hive's policy reads. The controller reads it once
at start with its existing store certificate and holds it in memory, as
`swarm_queue_client::ClientSecret::Value`. If the store is down, it
retries for about a minute and then fails the start, so `Restart=` tries
again.
Policy delta: the controller gets `read` on that leaf, and the publisher
gets `create`/`update` on that leaf.
Removed: the `queue.clientSecretFile` option (both spellings, now removed
options with a message), its singleHostSwarm default, the credential and
placeholder, and the path watcher plus its restart oneshot. A controller
without a store identity is now an eval error, because it has no other
way to get the secret.
The auth callout grants an agent that presents its own queue credential
one more subject, `$KV.agent-icons.<agent>`: its own key in the
agent-icons bucket and no other. The hive's shared agent client is
granted none of the bucket, since every agent on a hive presents it.
hive-agent writes `/etc/hyperhive/icon.svg`, the file its `GET /icon`
serves, to that key once per start, as a JetStream publish straight to
the subject (what `kv::Store::put` sends, minus the bucket lookup), so
the one subject is the whole grant. No icon deletes the key. A failed
write, including one that arrives before the bucket exists, is retried
with backoff until acked. An agent connected with the hive's shared
client publishes nothing.
swarm-controller creates the bucket as soon as its queue connection is
up, instead of on the first icon read, so an agent's write does not
wait for someone to look.
Measured against a local nats-server with a user allowed publish on
`$KV.agent-icons.atlas` only: the write to its own key is stored and
readable, a write to `$KV.agent-icons.argus` is refused (the ack times
out), the DEL marker makes the key read as absent, and a write before
the bucket exists fails with "no responders".
When the per-agent secret `queue-identity.nix` fetched is present, the
harness connects with `swarm-agent.<agent>.<secret>` as a static token
and publishes on `$SWARM.term.<agent>` and `$SWARM.agent-state.<agent>`.
When it is absent, or that first connect fails for any reason, a refusal
from a responder that does not verify agent tokens included, it connects
with the hive's shared OIDC client and publishes on the hive-scoped
subjects as before. Which one it took is logged once per connect.
`swarm_queue_client::connect_with_token` is the static-token connect: no
retry on the initial attempt, so the caller sees the refusal and can
fall back. Reconnects share the existing backoff, now a named function.
Closes#4630
rustls is built with both `ring` (async-nats's `ring` feature) and
`aws-lc-rs` (reqwest's `rustls` feature), so it cannot pick a
process-level default by itself. Since the queue started requiring TLS
(1d261b3f), async-nats builds its config with `ClientConfig::builder()`,
which panics without an installed default. The panic kills the async-nats
connector task, and every queue client (swarm-controller, hive-c0re, all
hive-agents) has sat in `Pending` since the 2026-09-25 23:04Z deploy.
Add `swarm_queue_client::install_crypto_provider()`, which installs
aws-lc-rs and ignores the "already installed" error. It is called first in
`main` of every binary that links async-nats: hive-agent, hive-c0re,
swarm-controller, swarm-nats-auth. `connect()` also calls it, so a new
binary that dials through this crate is covered without remembering to.
aws-lc-rs because reqwest already falls back to it when no default is
installed, so HTTPS in these processes keeps its current provider. The
other rustls users in the tree reach it only through reqwest, which never
panics here.
Closes#4738
hive-sock-client: each attempt now bounds connect (5s), write (10s) and
the wait for the response (60s by default). The response bound is per
call through the new `request_within`, which hive-agent's serve-loop
`Recv` uses with its 180s long-poll plus 30s headroom. A response
timeout is terminal rather than retried: the server holds the request,
so a retry re-sends something it may still act on and multiplies the
wait by the backoff schedule.
Outbound HTTP: the matrix login/whoami clients in swarm-controller and
hive-c0re's dashboard (5s connect, 30s request), the authelia-bridge
client (5s/30s; ensuring an identity runs an argon2 hash first) and the
ci-runner forge calls (5s/15s, config_pr_poll's forge budget) get a
connect_timeout and a request timeout. Timeout errors name the bound
that fired.
hive-agent's unix-socket extra web proxy bounds the connect (5s) and
the wait for the response head (30s, the http sibling's budget); the
body read stays unbounded.

forge-token.nix fetches swarm/agents/<agent>/forge-token under the
agent's own store identity into /run/hive-agent-forge-token/token, and
re-fetches on a timer so a rotation lands. hive-forge, the git
credential helper, hive-forge-notify, forge-avatar-sync and the web UI
read that file first and fall back to <state>/forge-token.
tea-login is deleted: it copied the token into ~/.config/tea, which
docs/swarm/credentials.md forbids for a store secret. hive-forge covers
the same verbs. swarmctl gains agent mint-forge-token.
Refs #3782
The prose added by this branch named the tracker item in seventeen
places, which check-issue-refs.sh rejects: a `#N` tag is dead weight for
anyone reading the public mirror, where no issue data exists. Each one
now states the fact it was pointing at — the parent field is gone — so
the sentence stands on its own.
Two of those lines also carried a rustdoc break: `[`write`]` in
topology.rs is ambiguous between the module's own `write` fn and the
`write!` macro, which `-D rustdoc::broken-intra-doc-links` fails. Spelled
`[`write()`]`, per rustdoc's own suggestion.
The host_config.rs rewrite is two lines rather than three so the doc
block stays under check-comment-blocks.sh's 30-line ceiling.
`topology.json` was a map of `name -> parent | null`, and that value fed
the whole agent hierarchy: `<parent>` / `<children>` recipient sentinels,
the reparenting API (CLI verb, wire verb, dashboard endpoints, DAG node),
the dashboard tree, the rebuild depth sort, and an unconditional
bind-mount grant giving every agent RW on its direct children's state.
Per the operator's ruling the field goes, and with it all of the above.
The file survives as what remains once the value is gone: the roster of
agent names, which is the set `ManageRootAgent` grants mounts over. It is
now a JSON array; `read` still accepts the old map shape and keeps its
keys, so a hive that upgrades across this does not blank its roster (and
so no capability holder loses its mounts for the length of that window).
Two sites kept their behaviour under a different recipient rather than
losing it. Both addressed `<parent>`, which the broker already resolved to
`operator` for a root agent, and every agent is now what that fallback
called a root:
- the harness's turn-failure / plugin-failure notification
(`Surface::send_to_parent` -> `send_to_operator`), and
- the send allow-list's always-permitted escape hatch, so an agent with a
restrictive allow-list still has a way to say it is stuck.
What is NOT preserved, deliberately: an agent with no capability no longer
sees any other agent's dirs. `ManageRootAgent`'s own grant is unchanged --
still every agent in the roster, still state RW + config RO, still no
`harness`.
The dashboard's reparenting control (the M0V3 picker) is deleted with its
CSS. The tree rendering that reads `ContainerView.parent` is left for the
frontend owner -- it degrades to a flat list with the field gone.
Every agent on a hive authenticates to the swarm queue with the same
hive-scoped OIDC client, so at the auth callout one agent is
indistinguishable from its co-hived neighbours. The commit before this
one mints a secret per agent at swarm level into
secret/swarm/agents/<agent>/queue; nothing read it.
Read it here, and read it from the container itself. A hive courier in
the path would be the hive vouching for which agent this is, which is
the property a per-agent credential exists to remove -- so the agent
logs in to the store with the certificate hive-agent-bao-identity
already proves it can log in with, and reads its own path. The store
certificate is for reaching the store and nothing else: what the new
unit writes to /run is the secret it read back, and nothing hands a
BAO_CLIENT_* path to anything queue-shaped.
The read needs no policy change. render_agent grants read on
secret/data/swarm/agents/<agent>/*, which covers this path and the
bao-mtls one beside it alike -- which is also why this unit degrades
where the identity check fails. A refusal this unit sees and that check
did not cannot be a policy that drifted; it is an object not yet minted,
the ordinary state of every agent created before its swarm knew to mint
one.
The harness resolves the path and reports which credential this agent
can present. It does not yet present it: the auth-callout responder
still verifies only the hive-scoped token, and an agent offering a
credential nothing on the other end reads back would simply be refused.
Teaching swarm-nats-auth to read the same path is the next slice.
swarm-logs covers every host-tier unit this tool could reach, so the
second, capability-gated path into host journald earns nothing and is
removed outright rather than disabled behind a flag.
Removed end to end: the MCP tool definition + handler, the
GetHostJournal/HostJournal wire variants, hive-c0re's
dispatch_host_journal handler, the ReadHostJournal capability, and the
harness-side capability->--allowedTools gate. get_host_journal was the
only capability that mapped to an MCP tool, so allowed_capability_tools
could only ever return an empty vec; it goes too rather than linger as a
function that provably does nothing.
capabilities::has_cap/caps_for stay: #4624 gave ManageRootAgent's
bind-mount enforcement (hive-c0re/src/lifecycle/host_config.rs) a
second caller of has_cap, so they're no longer callerless once this
lands on top of it.
hive-sh4re's journal module (JournalPriority) had no consumer outside
this tool and is deleted.
An existing capabilities.json still naming read_host_journal does not
error: capabilities::prune_unknown drops unrecognised names with a
warn!, and an agent left with no capabilities has its entry removed. No
migration step is needed.
Untouched: hive-c0re/src/dashboard/journal.rs's
read_host_journal_response, which matches the name but is the private
helper behind the operator-only GET /api/journal-host dashboard route
and carries no capability check.
The hive had two spellings of "this agent may act on agents that aren't
its children": the `ManageRootAgent` capability, which nothing checked,
and a `can_manage_top_level_agents` role in a third meta store,
`roles.json`, which owned the real grant — the bind mounts that put
another agent's state (rw) and config (ro) inside the holder's
container. The two drifted independently, and with the parent/child
hierarchy removed the role's set (`parent.is_none()`) silently became
every agent while nothing said so.
Collapse them. The mount grant now hangs off
`Capability::ManageRootAgent`, looked up through the one capability
path that already exists (`capabilities::has_cap` over
`capabilities.json`) rather than a second mechanism. `roles.json` and
everything that read, wrote or reconciled it is gone, along with its
`meta.rs` staging and commit-label wiring; nothing in the tree reads
that file any more.
The enum variant keeps its name deliberately. Renaming it would turn
every `manage_root_agent` already stored in `capabilities.json` into an
unrecognised name that `prune_unknown` drops without asking. Its
meaning, not its spelling, is what changed: "may manage any agent". The
doc comment and the description string now say that.
`top_level_agents()`/`top_level_agents_in()` are replaced by
`all_agents()`/`all_agents_in()`. Under "manage any agent" the mounted
set is every agent by definition, so the code states it instead of
deriving it from a predicate that no longer discriminates — and the
call-site comment explains that, because it otherwise reads as a
widening. The holder is no longer bound as its own virtual child: that
reproduced the own-state and own-config mounts exactly, so dropping it
loses nothing.
turn.rs has no tests. The knobs read env through two helpers and the
difference between them is load-bearing: env_u64 keeps a parsed 0, so
HIVE_TURN_IDLE_SECS=0 disables the watchdog and
HIVE_AUTO_RESET_WATERMARK_TOKENS=0 disables auto-reset; env_u64_positive
discards it, so a 0 sleep or cache TTL falls back to the default. Calling
the wrong one is a one-word edit that changes whether 0 turns a feature
off or does nothing.
Splitting the parse and zero-rejection halves out of the env lookup makes
both testable — std::env is process-global, so the lookup itself is not
safely settable from a threaded test runner, and the env-to-knob mapping
stays uncovered for that reason.
No behaviour change: each of the four knobs already agreed with its own
doc comment.
A record written to stdout carries no priority, so journald files the
whole stream at one level and the swarm log store shows `info` whatever
level `tracing` gave it. Under a systemd unit the process's stdout
already *is* the journal, so the fix is to speak the journal protocol
directly and let each record carry its own severity.
New `hive-log` crate holds the one sink chooser, called by `hive-c0re`,
`hive-agent` and `swarm-controller`. It builds the same `EnvFilter`
those binaries always built, then installs exactly one layer — never
both, since a journald layer stacked on the `fmt` layer under a unit
stores every record twice.
The choice is an fstat compare, not a presence test: a child inherits
`$JOURNAL_STREAM` even when its own stdout was redirected elsewhere, so
the variable existing proves nothing. The crate parses `dev:inode` out
of it and compares both numbers against an fstat of stdout, the
descriptor the `fmt` layer writes to by default. No match, unset, or
unparseable takes the `fmt` branch. A journald layer that fails to
construct despite a match falls back to `fmt` and warns through it —
a process must never fail to start because of its logger.
Both agent-facing tools go away end to end, with no replacement. This is
an intentional capability removal: agents can no longer enumerate their
own subtree, and can no longer queue a meta-flake input bump.
The system prompt and docs/tools/lifecycle.md land in this same commit
on purpose. A tool named in the prompt but absent from the server makes
agents confidently call something that doesn't exist, and the failure
then surfaces far from its cause.
Removed:
- MCP registrations and bodies (hive-agent-mcp), plus the now-unused
UpdateMetaInputsArgs.
- Wire variants Request::ListDescendants,
Request::RequestUpdateMetaInputs and Response::Containers, plus
ContainerInfo, whose only consumer was that response.
- hive-c0re's handle_list_descendants (its whole module) and
handle_request_update_meta_inputs, the two dispatch arms, and the
require_group(agent, "approvals", ...) gate on the meta-inputs verb.
- The stream_enrich emoji entry and argument formatter.
- docs/tools/lifecycle.md (both tools it documented are gone), its two
referrers, the tool-group tables and the agent-hierarchy prose.
Tool groups are kept, deliberately. ToolGroup::Lifecycle listed exactly
one tool and now lists none — it is vestigial, but the variant stays so
existing meta/capabilities.json grants still parse; retiring it is a
separate decision. ToolGroup::Approvals also listed exactly one tool,
but the group is NOT dead: check_can_cancel_approval still gates
cancel_loose_end's approval-cancel arm on it server-side.
ApprovalKind::UpdateMetaInputs stays too. Nothing in production code
produces it any more, but pre-existing approval rows may still carry it,
and the operator's own path to a meta update is unaffected — the
dashboard's POST /api/meta-update inserts the meta_update job directly,
bypassing approvals entirely.
The two format_ack tests in hive-agent-mcp that named
request_update_meta_inputs were only using it as a label string while
exercising the generic OkWarn/Ok renderer, so they are retargeted to a
surviving tool rather than deleted.
Note hive-c0re's priv_client::list_containers is a different thing (the
host-side privileged container listing behind hive-priv) and is
untouched.
Closes#4591
get_loose_ends now always returns the caller's own loose ends, for every
caller including the manager (ruth) — there is no separate manager
surface, ruth is a normal agent with different default capabilities.
- AgentGetLooseEndsArgs removed; get_loose_ends takes no args.
- Wire Request::GetLooseEnds collapses from an Option<String> target to
a unit variant.
- hive-c0re's handle_get_loose_ends drops the "*" hive-wide branch and
the subtree/capability resolver (resolve_agent_state_target); both
are gone since there is no longer a target to resolve.
- loose_ends::hive_wide and Capability::QueryAgentState removed as
dead code — their only callers were the two functions above.
- is_descendant_of is untouched (still used by lifecycle_handlers.rs
and schedules.rs independently of this change).
- Docs updated: docs/turn-loop/mcp.md, docs/web-ui/dashboard.md,
docs/process/conventions.md (Loose-ends wire shape + capabilities
table), plus the doc comments in hive-core-agent-sock, mcp_config.rs
and capabilities.rs that described the old shape.
Refs #4480
Container lifecycle from inside an agent goes away: an agent no longer
starts, stops, restarts or rebuilds a container in its subtree, and no
longer reads another container's journal. Those are operator actions —
the dashboard and hivectl keep their own paths to the same job-queue
and hive-priv plumbing, which is why none of that machinery is removed
here, only the five MCP verbs and what they alone reached.
What went with them: the `Request` variants and `Response::Logs` on the
agent socket, the five tool definitions and their arg structs, the four
lifecycle handlers plus `handle_get_logs`, and `require_descendant` —
the topology guard those five were the only remaining callers of.
`ToolGroup::Diagnostics` goes too: `get_logs` was its only tool, so it
would otherwise be a grantable group that grants nothing. `lifecycle`
stays, now carrying `list_containers` alone.
An agent that gets a `needs_update` or `container_crash` helper event
has no remedy of its own left, so the system prompt and the docs now
send it to the operator instead of to a tool that no longer exists.
