new POST /api/compact on the per-agent web UI: spawns
turn::compact_session in the background so the http handler returns
immediately. claude runs '/compact' over the persistent --continue
session; output streams into the live panel like any other turn.
slash command /compact wired to the new endpoint. SLASH_COMMANDS list
now lists all four (/help /clear /cancel /compact). postCancelTurn +
postCompact share a postSimple() helper.
deliberately not gated against an in-flight turn — claude's own
session lock will reject a concurrent compact and the failure
surfaces as a Note in the live panel.
new section between containers and questions: lists every name with a
state dir under /var/lib/hyperhive/agents/ that doesn't correspond to
a live container. shows state size + last-modified age + whether
claude creds are kept. two actions per row:
- R3V1V3 — queues a spawn approval with the same name (operator
approves to recreate; spawn flow reuses prior config + claude
creds, no re-login needed)
- PURG3 — wipes the agent's state + applied dirs (post /purge-tombstone/
endpoint; refuses if a live container with that name still exists)
dashboard also opens agent links in new tabs now (target=_blank +
rel=noopener) so the operator's overview tab stays put when they
dive into an agent.
ask_operator now accepts a multi: bool. when true and options is
non-empty, the dashboard renders the choices as checkboxes — operator
picks any subset, answer comes back as a ', '-joined string. when
false (default), options are radio buttons.
independent of multi, a free-text input ('or type your own…') is
always rendered alongside options so the operator is never trapped
by an incomplete list. submit merges checked options + free text into
the single 'answer' field.
schema migration: operator_questions grows a multi INTEGER column
with a one-shot ALTER TABLE on open. backward compatible — old rows
default to 0 (not multi).
prompt + mcp tool description updated; existing dashboard css for
.qform was rewritten around the new vertical layout.
backend:
- TransientKind grows Starting / Stopping / Restarting / Rebuilding /
Destroying alongside the existing Spawning. each dashboard handler
(start/restart/kill/rebuild/destroy) wraps the lifecycle call with
set_transient + clear_transient so the dashboard knows what's in
flight. transient kind is surfaced inline on ContainerView.pending
(existing-container actions) — only Spawning (pre-creation) lands
in the separate transients list.
frontend:
- container row is now two lines: identity + meta on top, action
buttons below. less cluttered, leaves room for the pending state
pill. pending rows dim their actions and surface a pulsing
'◐ spawning… / starting… / stopping… / restarting… / rebuilding…
/ destroying…' indicator next to the name.
- 'needs login' / 'needs update' chips moved into a unified .badge
styling for consistency.
- auto-refresh kicks in not only on transient spawn but on any
container with a pending action.
new POST /api/cancel on the per-agent web UI: shells out
pkill -INT claude (procps added to harness-base.nix). emits a Note
on the bus so the operator sees the cancel landed; state goes back
to idle when run_claude wakes and emits TurnEnd as usual.
frontend:
- /cancel slash command in the terminal input
- ■ cancel turn button in the state row, visible only while
state === 'thinking' (driven from the same SSE-based state
machine). disabled briefly during the POST.
claude gets SIGINT (not TERM) so it flushes anything in-flight and
emits a final result row before exiting.
hive_ag3nt::events::Bus replaces its in-memory VecDeque with a sqlite-
backed store at /state/hyperhive-events.sqlite (overridable via
HYPERHIVE_EVENTS_DB). emit() inserts a row; history() reads back the
most recent 2000 events. survives harness restart now — operator reload
mid-investigation no longer wipes the trail.
vacuum runs hourly (immediate first sweep): drop rows older than 7
days, then trim to 2000 newest. two-stage so a quiet agent keeps a
useful tail and a chatty one stays bounded. wired into both
hive-ag3nt and hive-m1nd via spawn_events_vacuum.
if the db open fails (e.g. no /state mount in dev), Bus runs in
no-store mode — events still broadcast, just nothing persisted.
undelivered rows are always kept regardless of age (still in flight).
sweep runs immediately on serve start then every hour. logs row count
when non-zero. keep_secs is hard-coded for now (30 days); can be
config-driven later if a host wants to retain more / less for audit.
new badge between the status line and the terminal. shows current
state with a glyph + label + age suffix (e.g. '🧠 thinking · 12s').
state transitions are driven from existing SSE turn_start/turn_end —
no harness changes needed. on page load, history backfill detects an
in-flight turn (turn_start without matching turn_end) and starts in
thinking. state-just-changed flash kicks in on each transition. age
timer ticks client-side every 1s.
compacting/napping states will be added when /compact and nap land —
their slots are reserved in the state enum, just unused for now.
drop the one-shot send/recv/kill/start/restart/request-spawn/request-
apply-commit subcommands from both in-container binaries. they were
debug-only — the host admin socket (`hive-c0re ...`) exposes the
same verbs and the manager mcp surface covers the rest from inside
claude. now each binary's --help shows just `serve` and `mcp`,
which are the only commands either is meant to be started with.
removes the `one_shot` helper and the `render` / `check` glue.
new rows no longer yank the view if the operator is scrolled up.
threshold for 'near bottom' is 48px. when not near bottom, an amber
'↓ N new' pill appears in the bottom-right of the terminal-wrap;
clicking it jumps to bottom. scrolling back near bottom clears the
counter. backfilled (history-replay) rows always scroll to bottom
since the operator hasn't started reading yet.
terminal height is now min(72vh, 60em) instead of a 32em strip — on a
1080p screen that's ~3x more visible lines. body max-width raised
to 110em so a wide window doesn't waste the available width on the
margin.
new --purge flag on the destroy verb (cli + admin socket + dashboard).
default destroy still keeps /var/lib/hyperhive/{agents,applied}/<name>/
so recreating with the same name reuses prior config + creds.
with --purge, both dirs go too (config history, claude creds, /state/
notes). no undo. dashboard adds a separate PURG3 button with an
explicit confirmation copy; the existing DESTR0Y button keeps the
soft semantics.
claude.md dashboard-action-surface section updated; todo entry
dropped.
intercept any line starting with / before sending it to the agent inbox.
two commands today:
- /help — render command list locally
- /clear — wipe the local terminal view (server-side event history kept,
so a page reload restores it)
unknown /xxx surfaces an error row instead of being silently sent. tab
on a /prefix cycles through matching command names. submit-hint
mentions /help so the operator can discover it.
scaffolding for the bigger commands (/compact /cancel /model) is in
place — adding them later is a switch arm plus harness work.
swap the single-line <input> for an auto-growing <textarea>. enter
submits, shift+enter newlines, ime composition respected (skip submit
while isComposing). height caps at ~12em then scrolls. submit-hint
updates to '↵ send · ⇧↵ newline'. async-form handler now also clears
textareas on success.
agent terminal-wrap + dashboard msgflow get a translucent bg with
backdrop-filter blur+saturate so page-bg glow softens behind them.
new rows in the live panel and the dashboard message flow fade in
with a 4px slide-up. unread badge pulses; pending-operator-questions
section pulses its glow. history-backfilled rows skip the animation
(.no-anim) so the page doesn't stagger 100 fade-ins on load.
new manager tools mcp__hyperhive__{start,restart} that delegate to the
existing lifecycle::start / lifecycle::restart on the host. kill was
already at the manager's discretion; rounding out start + restart for
parity so day-to-day container care doesn't have to round-trip through
the operator.
guard: refuse self-targeting on kill/start/restart — the manager would
just be cutting its own legs. spawn (request_spawn) and config changes
(request_apply_commit) still go through the approval queue, since those
are the actual gate. prompt + claude.md updated to make the boundary
explicit. kill now also emits HelperEvent::Killed (it didn't before).
agent page restructure:
- send form moves into the terminal panel as a prompt-style row beneath
the live tail (status line stays above so it still reads as a header).
- live panel + prompt share a single bordered 'terminal-wrap' box.
- harness-alive / login-state status lines drop their decorative ascii
bookends; just a leading dot/glyph remains.
- banner gradient is now a real css gradient with a shimmer animation
toggled by an .active class. turn_start adds it, turn_end removes it.
dashboard side mirrors this: each broker sse event nudges a 4s
shimmer window.
- dashboard container rows drop their static ▓█▓▒░ / ▒░▒░░ glyph
prefixes; the role chips already disambiguate m1nd vs ag3nt.
- empty-state placeholders drop the ▓ bookends.
terminal pre-fill: hive-ag3nt::events::Bus grows a 500-event ring
buffer; new GET /events/history endpoint returns it. The agent JS
fetches history before opening the SSE stream so opening the page mid-
turn shows the last N events instead of a blank panel. The replay
walks turn_start/turn_end pairs to seed the banner-active state
correctly if a turn was still open.
new mcp tool on the manager surface that queues a question on the
dashboard and returns the question id immediately. operator submits an
answer via /answer-question/<id>; the dashboard fires
HelperEvent::OperatorAnswered { id, question, answer } into the manager
inbox so the next turn picks it up.
also: fix async-form button stuck on spinner after successful submit
(refreshState skipped re-rendering, so the button was never re-enabled).
- tool_use renders per-tool (Read /path, Bash $ cmd, send → operator: ...)
- tool_result with >120 chars collapses into <details>; short ones inline
- session_init / result / rate_limit dropped from the panel
- thinking content shown inline if present, fallback indicator otherwise
- TurnStart carries unread count → header badge "· 3 unread"
- per-tool [status] line dropped from envelope; lives in wake prompt + UI
- send form moved below the live panel
- live panel themed as a terminal (crust bg, inset shadow, monospace)
- harness-base.nix: switch to programs.git for declarative gitconfig.
- agent + manager service path = /run/current-system/sw → agents pick up
new packages from their own agent.nix without harness edits.
- generated applied/<name>/flake.nix overrides programs.git.config.user
(no more raw etc.gitconfig collision).
