The provider key was resolved once, at spawn. A provider rejecting it
shows only as an empty end_turn or an idle timeout, neither of which
drops the agent, so a key rotated in the store never reached a running
opencode until the process died for another reason.
After a turn fails with EmptyEndTurn or IdleTimeout, the runtime now
resolves the key once more. When that yields a key that differs from
the one the agent was spawned with, the agent is dropped (SIGINT to its
process group, as every other respawn) and the next turn spawns it with
the new key and reloads the recorded session. No key read (inherited
env value, no store, a failed or timed-out read, nothing stored) keeps
the running agent. The failed turn's error is returned unchanged.
Part of #5017 (slice A).
mara on #5034: "effort shares /models fate". The per-agent web UI no
longer sets effort: the `/effort` slash command, the effort picker,
`POST /api/effort`, `Bus::set_effort`, the `hyperhive-effort` writer,
`EFFORT_LEVELS`/`is_valid_effort` and the ACP effort-list payload are
gone, and `lib/modelEffort.ts` with them. The effort chip is
display-only and shows its source (`effort_source` in `/api/state`);
on ACP it stays hidden while the session offers no effort level.
The read side is unchanged: with no swarm value an agent runs an
existing `hyperhive-effort` file, else its agent.nix effort, else
medium. Existing files are not touched.

The per-agent web UI no longer sets the model: the `/model` slash
command, the model picker, `POST /api/model`, `Bus::set_model` and the
`hyperhive-model` writer are gone. The model chip is display-only and
shows where the model comes from (`model_source` in `/api/state`). The
model is set on the swarm (swarm UI agents page, `swarmctl agent
inference set`).
The read side is unchanged: with no swarm value an agent runs its
agent.nix model, else an existing `hyperhive-model` file, else haiku.
Existing files are not touched.
With the picker gone, its model list goes too: `available_models` in
`/api/state`, the ACP model-list filter, and the harness's global
`HIVE_AVAILABLE_MODELS`. The subagent daemon keeps its own
`HIVE_AVAILABLE_MODELS` from mcp.nix, and the `availableModels`
assertion stays.
`/effort` (command, picker, route, file) is unchanged.
Refs #5034
A claude agent with useApiKey gets ANTHROPIC_API_KEY through
backendEnvironmentFile, but only the harness unit loaded that file;
hive-subagent-daemon loaded it for ACP agents alone. The daemon's nested
claude inherits the daemon's environment (hive-claude adds to it, never
clears it), and an api-key agent has no OAuth session in ~/.claude, so
its claude subagents started with no credentials.
hive-subagent-daemon now loads backendEnvironmentFile when the agent is
ACP (unchanged) or has useApiKey set. Module-eval covers the api-key
claude arm; the existing claude arm (file set, useApiKey unset) still
asserts no EnvironmentFile.
Closes#5088
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
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).
An opencode ACP agent got its provider API key only from the hand-placed
backendEnvironmentFile. It now also reads it from the swarm secret store
at swarm/agents/<agent>/acp-provider, field api_key, under its own
certificate, and sets it in the spawned ACP agent's environment only.
Nothing is written to disk.
Precedence: a value already in the process environment (the env file)
wins and the store is not asked. Otherwise the stored key is used when
present. With no store, nothing stored, or a failed read, the agent is
spawned without the key as before, and one line is logged without the
value.
The variable name comes from the existing per-agent option
acp.opencode.provider.apiKeyEnv, exported as HIVE_ACP_API_KEY_ENV on the
harness only for the opencode preset. Other ACP commands are unchanged.
The read lives in hive-runtime, where the ACP child is spawned, so both
hive-agent and hive-subagent-daemon use it. The subagent daemon unit
gets the key name and, when the agent has a store, the agent's store
identity (the same credentials queue-identity.nix gives the harness).
No new option or setting. Closes#4841.
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.
The subagent daemon now reads the parent agent's runtime at startup
(`hive_runtime::RuntimeSpec`, from the harness's `HIVE_RUNTIME` /
`HIVE_ACP_*`, which `mcp.nix` forwards onto its unit). On claude
nothing changes. On ACP, each run drives an `AcpRuntime` whose session
id is kept per name under the harness dir: `start` archives the old one,
`continue` loads it (and fails when none is recorded), `interrupt` sends
`session/cancel`, a role goes in front of the first prompt, and
permission requests get the answers a claude subagent's tool list
gives. The unit loads `backendEnvironmentFile` on ACP only, so the
agent can authenticate.
The end-of-turn handling moves out of the claude loop into `after_turn`
unchanged, so both loops share it.

services.hyperhive.agent.runtime ("claude" default | "acp") and
acp.{command,args,env}, rendered into HIVE_RUNTIME / HIVE_ACP_* only
for acp, so a claude agent's unit is unchanged. acp implies useApiKey.
acp.presets.opencode runs `opencode acp` from nixpkgs against an
OpenAI-compatible provider from acp.opencode.{provider,model,
contextWindow,outputLimit}: the config is rendered to the store with
the API key as an {env:VAR} reference, so the key is read at runtime
from backendEnvironmentFile. OPENCODE_PERMISSION denies opencode's
built-in bash, task, todowrite and websearch, and makes webfetch ask.
Refs #4391
The topology doc keeps its filename and its second half (manager
special-casing, harness unit shape) — both are cross-referenced from
other pages and neither is about the parent field. Its first half is
rewritten: what topology.json is now, and a table of what the removal
took with it, so a reader who finds `<parent>` or `set-parent` in an old
issue thread learns it went away rather than moved.
The dashboard's tree-rendering section is marked dormant rather than
deleted: the walk is still in swarm.js and retiring it is the frontend
owner's call.
Every per-agent harness option lived at the top-level `hyperhive.*` while
the host tier has always been `services.hyperhive.*`. Move all 52 agent-tier
option leaves (33 top-level names across 16 modules) to
`services.hyperhive.agent.*`, repoint every read, and keep existing agent
configs evaluating through one `mkRenamedOptionModule` per old leaf path in
the new nix/agent-modules/renamed-options.nix.
The shims are per leaf rather than per namespace: `user`, `mcp`, `otel`,
`queue`, `docs`, `forge`, `frontend`, `github`, `gui`, `logs`, `matrix` and
`cargo` are plain attrsets of declarations, not submodule-typed options, so
a parent-path rename would not reach their children. Three read-only
options (`frontend.mergedDist`, `queue.clientIdFile`,
`queue.clientSecretFile`) deliberately get no shim — a rename contributes a
definition, which a read-only option refuses; the exclusions are commented
in place.
Refs #4473
Both units ran at OOMScoreAdjust=0, so under container memory pressure the
kernel picked purely on footprint — and the agent's own claude is often
the fattest process in the container, which means the session supervising
the work died before the work did.
The sign is the load-bearing part and is easy to invert: a HIGHER
OOMScoreAdjust means MORE likely to be killed, because the kernel adds it
to the badness score it derives from the process's memory footprint and
then kills the highest scorer. So hive-subagent-daemon gets +500 (first in
line) and hive-agent gets -500 (last in line). Written backwards this
makes the reported bug worse rather than better, so module-eval pins the
order as an inequality.
Both values are inherited by the nested claude each unit spawns as a
child, so ordering the units orders the sessions underneath them. -500
rather than -1000 on the harness: fully exempting it would leave the
kernel nothing to kill in a container whose only large process is the
harness.

Per mara's go-ahead on hyperhive#3902 ("getting started is good, but
terminal rendering does not go in there i think"):
Moved 21 top-level docs/*.md files into 7 new topic subdirectories
(existing web-ui/, turn-loop/, swarm/, tools/, crates/ untouched):
getting-started/ setup.md
agent-lifecycle/ agent-hierarchy.md, approvals.md, persistence.md
trust-boundary/ boundary.md, security.md
integrations/ forge.md, matrix.md, github.md, knowledge.md
networking/ gateway.md, network.md, snapshot-store.md
scheduler/ jobq.md, coordinator.md, ci.md, observability.md
process/ conventions.md, gotchas.md, pr-review-gate.md
web-ui/ terminal-rendering.md (moved into the EXISTING dir,
per mara's correction to the original getting-started
guess -- it's UI implementation detail, not onboarding)
The physical layout now matches docs/README.md's own topical headers,
which already amounted to this taxonomy -- see the scoping comment on
the issue for the two findings that motivated this (a genuine
duplication between CLAUDE.md's old "Reading paths" list and
docs/README.md's grouped one, since drifted out of sync with each
other; and the flat layout not matching the grouping we already had).
Fixed every cross-reference this moved across the whole repo (~120
files: docs/ internal links at every depth, Rust doc comments, nix
module option docs, crate READMEs) -- verified two ways: a grep sweep
confirming zero remaining references to any old path, and a script
that resolves every markdown link in docs/**/*.md + CLAUDE.md +
README.md against the filesystem and reports anything that doesn't
exist (zero broken links).
Collapsed CLAUDE.md's "Reading paths" section (the duplicate) down to
a pointer at docs/README.md, now the single index. Rewrote
docs/README.md itself to use the new subdirectory paths and added the
one doc it was missing that CLAUDE.md's old copy had (pr-review-gate.md).
Classified all 22 docs/*.md files first via a haiku subagent (mara's
suggestion) on two axes -- proposed grouping and operator-vs-
implementation focus -- before finalizing the taxonomy; spot-checked
the report and found internal inconsistencies (its classification
table disagreed with its own summary section for a few files), so this
taxonomy is my original proposal + the one correction mara gave
directly, not a blind application of the subagent's table. The
operator-focus data it gathered is still useful for a follow-up
content pass (docs skewing 'mixed' rather than pure operator-facing),
not addressed in this PR -- structure only.
nix fmt clean, both pre-push lints clean.
