Adds swarmctl markdown-docs (a hidden Verb, same clap-markdown +
hide=true shape as hivectl markdown-docs) and generates
docs/tools/swarmctl-cli.md from it. Wires a swarmctl-docs freshness
check into nix/checks.nix, same shape as hivectl-docs, diffing against
packages.swarmctl.
One real gotcha: PathArgs::resolve() reads required
SWARMCTL_AUTHELIA_* deployment env vars and errors if unset -
swarmctl markdown-docs must not go through that path (it needs none of
those vars, and the docs build runs it outside any real deployment).
Restructured main() so resolve() only runs for the User arm, not
unconditionally before the match.
Also links the new doc from docs/tools/README.md (new 'for the swarm
operator' section), CLAUDE.md's swarmctl bullet, and
docs/conventions.md's flake-check list.
Verified: cargo check/clippy -D warnings/test/fmt -p swarmctl all
clean; swarmctl markdown-docs diffs clean against the committed doc
(checked against both a plain cargo build and the actual nix build.
#swarmctl output); scripts/check-issue-refs.sh clean.
The swarm-authelia module states that its users database is written by
swarm-controller, but nothing ever granted the means. This adds the tool
that does it.
swarmctl runs as root on the controller's host and acts directly. The
rootless alternative was examined and does not work: relocating the users
file into a directory the controller owns only turns a write problem into
a read problem, because authelia must then reach across the same boundary
in the other direction. Making that read work needs either a hand-pinned
gid or world-readable password hashes.
The user store is two files, one authoritative: users.json is canonical,
users.yml is a rendered artifact. That split is what lets the crate work
without a YAML parser -- the workspace has none, and adding one costs a
crates.io fetch, a lock update and a vendor hash for a schema we fully
control and only ever emit.
Passwords are generated by authelia rather than passed to it: argv is
world-readable, so a password on a command line is readable by any local
process for the lifetime of the call.
The three derived facts swarmctl needs about the authelia container --
machine, unit and the host-side users path -- become readOnly options on
the authelia module rather than literals repeated at the call site.
