- meta::sync_agents signature (now takes &HiveEnv, not 3 loose params)
- lifecycle.rs -> lifecycle/host_config.rs bare-file ref
- nixosConfigurations.manager -> .ruth (no 'manager' name in flake.nix)
- manager socket path/owner: no /run/hyperhive/manager/ or manager_server,
it's socket_server::start_manager on the standard per-agent runtime dir
- Spawn approval also fires ApprovalResolved (finish_approval always does,
for every kind), not push_todo instead of a HelperEvent
- /agents/<n>/applied.git -> /applied/<n>/.git (matches the actual RO bind)
- lifecycle::rebuild / auto_update::rebuild_agent don't exist anymore;
the reconcile verb is job_queue::templates::rebuild
Two follow-ups the per-file sweep workers flagged but couldn't fix
themselves (either not their assignment, or not visible from their
worktree):
- web-ui/dashboard.md's P33RS tab named dashboard.rs, which no longer
exists (hive-c0re/src/dashboard/ is a module dir now); the function
moved to state_snapshot.rs.
- approvals.md and conventions.md used hive_ag3nt:: as a Rust
module-path prefix. hive-agent is a bin-only crate (no lib target),
so that prefix never resolved to anything; also fixed the
hive-ag3nt/prompts/system.md path to the real hive-agent/prompts/.
All three verified directly against the current source tree, not
guessed.
The parent's copy is for reading a child's config; a change to it is a PR
on the child's repo, made from a clone and merged after review. A
writable mount is a second path to the same file that skips that review,
which makes the boundary a convention rather than a permission.
Confirmed with ruth before flipping: it clones from the forge and opens a
PR, including for a brand-new child's first config.
The prose was the larger half. docs/approvals.md did not merely describe
the old mount, it *instructed* agents to use it ("can therefore edit,
commit, and submit changes for any of its direct children directly inside
its container"), and the doc comment in host_config.rs asserted a
dependency that never existed: the InitConfig seed runs as hive-c0re
against the host path, and read_only on a bind constrains writers inside
the container only. That comment is what produced issue #3206, now closed
as invalid.
Seven places described an authoring flow that does not exist: the
manager editing and committing a child's config in the bind-mounted
config dir. mara, on the snapshot issue: "the pr workflow is the main
one, anything else is legacy … the config dir in agent container is
read only copy to see own config … changes need to go through local
clone and via forge".
Two of the seven are the request_init_config MCP tool description and
its args struct, which are rendered into the system prompt of every
agent holding the approvals tool group. A wrong tool description is not
a stale comment; it is an instruction the whole hive reads as fact,
which is why the claim kept being repeated back.
The init tool creates the repo and seeds it. Nothing else. Tailoring
the seeded template is not a separate mechanism - it is the ordinary
config-change flow, a PR reviewed like any other.
Prose only; the code already implements the PR flow (an approval's
commit_ref is a PR number). Where a doc justified the parent's
read-write mount on the child's config dir with the authoring model,
the justification is removed rather than replaced: that mount is a
defect tracked on its own issue, and it should not read as intentional
while it waits.
argus caught `approvals.md` still describing the old serial chain under the old
node name. Grepping the name across *all* tracked files rather than just `*.rs`
turned up three more, all in `coordinator.md`: the node-inventory rows for `Swap`
and the bookkeeping tail, and the rebuild shape diagram.
Three of the four were in the file I had edited in the previous commit to add the
brace section, which is the point worth recording: I grepped the *concept* I had
changed (`lease`) and the *symbol* I had renamed, but scoped the rename grep to
Rust. Neither pass could see an old node name sitting in prose.
Also adds the missing `AgentWindow` row to the node inventory.
The deletion PR removed the types but left ~10 sites still describing
them. Two are real breakage rather than staleness: rustdoc intra-doc
links to deleted items ([NodeView::kind] and [Self::snapshot] in
job_queue/mod.rs). Neither clippy --all-targets -D warnings nor cargo
test resolves intra-doc links, so the tree was green with both already
dangling.
The rest reassert facts the deletion made false: docs/coordinator.md
documented the event as RebuildQueueChanged { seq, queue: [DagView...] }
with a per-node field list, and three sites pointed at the removed
/api/state.rebuild_queue endpoint.
One is pointer rot rather than a rename, and no grep for a deleted name
finds it: SchedulesChanged justified itself as "same snapshot-shape
rationale as RebuildQueueChanged" -- which the deletion turned into the
one event that is not a snapshot. Repointed at TombstonesChanged /
MetaInputsChanged, in both the Rust doc and the dashboard doc.
Two are pre-existing and strictly out of scope, swept under the
pfadfinderregel because the same grep surfaced them: hive-sh4re/README
advertised a jobs module that crate has not had since the host-sock
split, and hive-host-sock/README claimed its own payload types live in
hive-sh4re.
Docs and comments only -- no behaviour, no API, no test changes.
argus review: the submitting agent is always notified when its request
is denied (HelperEvent::ApprovalResolved fires unconditionally); only
the reason text is optional, and only from the dashboard prompt (not
the CLI, which has no reason argument at all). Also note that
cancelling the dashboard prompt aborts the whole deny, not just the
reason.
approvals.md (655 lines) is genuinely dense implementation reference
(webhook mechanics, DAG phase names, db column names, git-ref rollback
internals) with nothing written for an operator deciding whether to
click approve. Unlike web-ui/, this is a single top-level file with no
subdirectory to give a separate landing page to, so the fix here is
in-file: a "For operators" section right after the intro, covering
what actually shows up on the dashboard (or hivectl CLI) and what each
approval kind does when you click approve or deny, before the existing
implementation detail.
Every claim in the new section was checked against the rest of this
file plus dashboard.md and hivectl-cli.md rather than assumed - caught
one real error before pushing (hivectl approvals list doesn't exist,
the verb is `pending`) and one incomplete claim (denial reasons are
dashboard-only with an optional prompt; the CLI deny has no reason
argument).
Follow-up from #2955 (mara: 'make core able to give agent a todo').
First migration slice: Spawned was pure FYI-check-when-convenient
material, not something needing an immediate turn.
Coordinator::push_todo/push_todo_submitter do a best-effort live dial
of the target agent's own hive-agent-sock (hive_host_sock::agent_todo_
socket), sending the exact UpsertTodo request in-container producers
(matrix/bash/forge-notify) already send. Push, not queue: agent
offline (socket absent) or dial failure is a silent no-op, no retry,
no fallback delivery -- matches mara's 'not available if offline'
call exactly.
HelperEvent::Spawned removed entirely (enum variant + all 3 call
sites migrated: handle_spawn's two arms, finish_approval's Spawn
approval-kind arm) rather than kept alongside a translation layer --
per mara's correction on the first design attempt, migrating the
producer means deleting the old path, not bridging it.
Verified: cargo build/clippy/test -p hive-c0re -p hive-host-sock
-p hive-sh4re clean (318 tests), nix fmt clean.
Phase 4 (repoint every container onto `meta#<n>`) and phase 5 (rename
the `root` container to `h-root`) were marker-guarded one-shots for
layouts no live hive still has: containers are rendered onto `meta#<n>`
at creation, and the `h-` prefix has been the naming for far longer than
any deployment predates. A one-shot nobody can still trigger is dead
weight, so both are gone along with `repoint_container`,
`rename_manager_container`, `CONTAINER_TIMEOUT` and the two marker paths.
Phase 6 was not obsolete, only misplaced. Ruth's tool groups are now
seeded by `ensure_root_agent` on the one path that creates her, rather
than re-asserted on every hive-c0re boot. The skip-if-already-set guard
survives the move: a destroy+recreate under the same name must not reset
an operator's chosen group set back to MANAGER_DEFAULT.
That also settles a latent bug. Phase 4's marker check was a `return`,
not a skip, so on any hive carrying the marker phases 5 and 6 never ran
at all — the tool-group backfill, whose whole job was preventing a silent
privilege downgrade, has not executed here in a long time. Moving it to
create-time removes the question rather than answering it.
What stays is convergence: three unguarded, idempotent phases that re-run
each boot and no-op once their state is right. The module doc now names
the three categories so the next person can tell which kind they're
adding.
The config-PR deploy's apply node still did the whole container rebuild
inline, through the last surviving `lifecycle::rebuild_no_meta` call. It
now merges, opens the two-phase meta deploy, and returns the ordinary
rebuild chain as a subgraph the scheduler grafts into the live DAG under
it. A new `FinalizeDeploy` node, gated on that graft, plants the deploy
tag and commits the staged lock.
Net effect: "did the agent come back up?" is answered by `Reconcile`
succeeding, the same way it is for every other rebuild, instead of by a
fused inline start — and each deploy phase is its own queue node, so the
dashboard shows which one is running.
The grafted nodes root on the apply node, so they land inside
`DeployWindow`'s subtree and re-enter the meta window and build slot it
already holds rather than deadlocking against them. The new happy-path
test runs on a one-slot queue specifically to pin that down.
`FinalizeDeploy`'s two git writes are fatal, deliberately: they are what
tells `DeployTail` a deploy confirmed good, so a node that merely warned
on them could report success while leaving the tail looking at the git
state of a failure — and the tail would then roll a good deploy back.
The trailing `meta::finalize_deploy` stays warn-only, since by then the
container already runs the new config.
The `failed/<id>` annotated tag moves into the tail, which is now the
only place holding a failed deploy. It reads the reason off the DAG via
a new `JobQueue::first_error`, and is gated on `main` having actually
moved — the rollback ref is parked *before* the merge, so its existence
alone does not mean a merge happened, and a pre-merge rejection must not
tag the previous, innocent head.
Removing the last inline rebuild orphaned a chain of now-dead code:
`rebuild_no_meta`, `container_exists`, `Coordinator::set_queue_build_log`
and `JobQueue::set_build_log_id_running`, all deleted here.
Rewrite the approval flow's step 4 as the three phases, with the reason
the rollback state is a git ref, and refresh the coordinator's node
inventory + dispatch table. Fix four doc comments that still pointed at
the deleted `run_merge_config_pr`.
coordinator.md rewrites the queue section (node inventory, DAG shapes,
resources, desired-state reconciliation, boot reconcile); approvals.md
+ persistence.md + hivectl --graceful help updated to match. agent_power
lives in broker.sqlite like approvals/questions (own connection + busy
timeout) instead of a separate db file.
notify_manager (always-root) has been replaced by notify_submitter
(routes to the approval submitter, with root fallback for legacy rows).
Update three locations:
- Step 6 of end-to-end flow: "root agent's inbox" →
"submitting agent's inbox"; explain notify_submitter + submitter column.
- InitConfig paragraph: remove limitation note; "to the root agent's inbox
(current limitation...)" → "to the submitting agent's inbox via notify_submitter".
- Section header + prose: "Helper events to the root agent" →
"Helper events to the submitting agent"; rewrite lead paragraph around
notify_submitter semantics (approvals.submitter column, legacy fallback).
Remove three bare #NNN tracker-tag references in docs/approvals.md
(hive-rules: no #NNN in code/comments/docs):
- Step 6 of end-to-end flow: "tracked in #1953" → "a known limitation
under active development"
- InitConfig paragraph: same rewrite
- Helper events section: same rewrite
Also add a code pointer for `can_manage_top_level_agents`: the role is
defined as ROLE_CAN_MANAGE_TOP_LEVEL_AGENTS in hive-c0re/src/topology.rs,
now noted inline so reviewers can verify the name is real.
The last docs/ piece of the manager-cleanup. The manager is no longer a
structural role — root-ness is purely topological. Reframe:
- title 'Approvals + manager + helper events' -> 'Approvals + helper events'
- section headers: 'Manager view of applied'/'Manager policy'/'Manager
(ruth) is hive-c0re-managed'/'Helper events to the manager' ->
root-agent / root-bootstrap-container equivalents
- body prose: 'the manager (ruth)' -> 'the root agent' (or 'the submitter'
in the approval-flow steps)
- authority semantics: 'manager-only' -> approvals are submitted by an
agent with the approvals tool group, for its direct children
- dropped the stale 'the manager refuses to destroy itself' line (the
bootstrap container is now destroyable + transient; recreated on startup)
Kept the genuine code/protocol identifiers (nixosConfigurations.manager,
manager_server, role:manager prompt block, notify_manager, the
/run/hyperhive/manager/ socket path) — renaming those would diverge from
the source (de-hardcoding is its own backend cleanup).
coordinator.md: GracefulStop entry referenced the old bare /kill/<agent>
path with the lax graceful=1 bool — update to /api/kill/<agent>?graceful=true.
approvals.md: the auto-update badge description referenced /rebuild/<name>
(bare, no /api/ prefix) — update to /api/rebuild/<name>.

The internal forge is the canonical store for the meta flake, every
agent's config repo, and the internal/* repos, so it can no longer be
optional. Remove the services.hyperhive.forge.enable toggle:
- hive-forge.nix: drop the `enable` option; the forge config now
deploys gated on `services.hyperhive.enable` (it ships with hyperhive).
- hive-c0re.nix: HIVE_FORGE_URL env unconditional; forge-public-URL gate
drops the enable check (keeps behindGateway).
- hive-gateway.nix: local /etc/hosts forge entry keyed on behindGateway.
- hive-ci.nix: drop the now-moot `forge.ci.enable requires forge.enable`
assertion (forge is always present); reword the option doc.
- nix/docs/default.nix: drop the `forge.enable = mkForce false` stub
(option gone); the options-doc eval stays light via hyperhive.enable.
- hive-c0re forge.rs / hivectl.rs: reword 'forge.enable = true' error
text to 'wait for hive-c0re to start the container' (the runtime
token-absent path is unchanged — it's a bootstrap-timing check, not
the opt-out).
- docs/approvals.md, docs/ci.md: drop stale forge.enable references.
Migration: configs that set `services.hyperhive.forge.enable = false`
must drop the line — the forge is now mandatory.
Prereq/companion to #1838 (PR-based config flow, which assumes the forge
is always present).
