ruth is created from the swarm dashboard like any agent. An existing ruth container starts at boot through the boot reconcile, like every other agent. A definition of services.hyperhive.ruthless now fails evaluation with a removal message.
mara on #5170: "dont split caps and perms. its all perms. / dont include
the now empty tool groups / nothing set -> default / also add perms to
agent creation screen".
- hive-sh4re: one `Permission` enum (messaging, meta, inbox, execution,
web_tools, manage_root_agent) replaces `ToolGroup` and `Capability`;
`lifecycle`/`forge` are gone. `Permission::default_for` is the default
for an agent the swarm sets nothing for.
- The record is `{ "permissions": [...] }`. Missing key, unset field or
no successful read yet = default; `[]` = none; a failed read after a
good one keeps the last value.
- hive-agent reads its own key every 10s and builds each turn's --tools,
--allowedTools and MCP config (rewritten before every turn) from it;
the subagent daemon reads it on each start/continue. Agents get a
read-only grant on their own key.
- hive-c0re restarts an agent only when its manage_root_agent changes.
The import now merges meta/capabilities.json and meta/tool-groups.json
into one list per agent and deletes both; the "import pending, don't
read" decision is `ImportOutcome::read_allowed`, table-tested.
- swarm-controller: `GET /api/permissions` (names + default) and an
optional `permissions` on `POST /api/agents`, stored before the job is
queued. swarm-ui's create-agent form gets a permissions field.
- Deleted: HIVE_TOOL_GROUPS and its forward to the subagent daemon,
tool_groups.rs, ruth's tool-group seed, the permissions rebuild job
(PermPayload/WritePermFile/perm_change), the dashboard permissions tab
and its stale-entries panel.
Part of #5170.
Drops docs/tools/scheduling.md and every description of hive-level
schedule creation, the worker, the removed MCP tools, the scheduling tool
group and the removed endpoints/events, pointing at docs/swarm/schedules.md.
Moves the "Harness systemd unit shape" section from
docs/agent-lifecycle/agent-roster.md into docs/turn-loop/README.md: it
describes the per-agent harness systemd unit (env vars, PATH wiring,
serviceConfig), which is turn-loop material, not roster material.
Fixes two facts while moving: the ExecStart package is `hive-agent`,
not `hyperhive` (no package by that name exists); and `ruth.nix`
doesn't set any forge subscription default — it only defaults
`services.hyperhive.agent.docs.enable`.
Updates the inbound pointers in docs/turn-loop/config.md and the
module comment at nix/agent-modules/agent-service.nix.
Refs #3902
Per mara's #4879 review (89815): the system has no agent hierarchy,
just a flat set scoped by the capability store, so the filename no
longer matched. The file already read "Agent roster & privileges"
after the earlier facts pass; rename it to match, and update the
four inbound references (docs/README.md, coordinator.md, config.md,
agent-service.nix).
