Per #1407 review: the options reference should be markdown here; the
HTML + CSS belongs in the website repo where the theme lives and the
stylesheet can be shared with /docs.
- nix/docs/default.nix: drop the cmark-gfm HTML rendering, the inline
<style>, and the HTML index. Emit index.md + host.md + agent.md only
(CommonMark from nixosOptionsDoc).
- Remove nix/docs/style.css.
- Update docs/gotchas.md + CLAUDE.md to describe the md-only output and
point at the website for HTML rendering.
The website (hyperhive/website#26) renders these .md to themed HTML for
/options/, sharing one docs.css with the prose /docs/ tree.
Services started by systemd in a gui-enabled container didn't have
WAYLAND_DISPLAY set, so Wayland clients couldn't find the compositor.
libwayland would fall back to a headless display or error out, leaving
apps running invisibly while the VNC session showed a blank weston
desktop (the double-screen problem).
Fix in weston-vnc.nix:
- Pass --socket=wayland-0 to weston so the socket name is
deterministic (weston normally picks any free wayland-N name).
- Set WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 and XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/0 as
global environment.variables gated on hyperhive.gui.enable, so
every service in the container inherits them automatically.
- Update gui.json to include wayland_display for tooling that reads it.
Update docs/gotchas.md with the rationale and pointer to #540.
docs/web-ui.md (1315 lines) split into three sub-files:
- docs/web-ui/shape.md — shared SPA skeleton, SSE multiplexing,
Worker-death self-heal, terminal pane, listener bind, relative
paths, atomic repaint, side panel
- docs/web-ui/dashboard.md — SW4RM/Y3R/SYST3M/SCH3DUL3S/S3TT1NGS
tabs, container row, topology tree, selection bar, approval card,
dashboard endpoints + event channel
- docs/web-ui/agent.md — header, terminal, composer, inbox, live
view, slash commands, per-agent endpoints, stats page
docs/web-ui.md replaced with a thin index linking all three.
Section anchors in docs (gateway.md, gotchas.md), Rust doc comments
(hive-ag3nt/src/web_ui.rs), and nix/templates/weston-vnc.nix updated
to point at the correct sub-file. README and CLAUDE.md file-map
updated with sub-file links. Inline // comments in frontend source
left unchanged (they reference the index which redirects to the right
sub-file).
iris's #718 scope: move substantive design context from `#` comment
blocks in `nix/` to corresponding `docs/` files, leave short
references in code. iris handed it back to me on #10114 since
nix/ is my lane + #775 established the pattern.
First pass — three highest-density blocks in harness-base.nix:
1. **First-boot agent-user migration** (~70 lines → `~20 lines code +
short ref` in the activation script). Substantive prose moves to
new `docs/persistence.md::First-boot agent-user migration (post-#658)`
section explaining the 4 steps the script performs + the eventual
removability of the marker-guarded body.
2. **nix-daemon `sandbox-fallback = true`** (10-line block → 5-line
ref). New `docs/gotchas.md::Containerized nix-daemon needs
sandbox-fallback = true` section covers the user-namespaces
rationale + nixpkgs-default override.
3. **Matrix daemon + token-arrival trigger** (~50 lines across two
systemd units → ~10 lines code + short refs). New
`docs/persistence.md::Matrix per-agent daemon + token-arrival
trigger` covers the socket-path rationale, the runtime-dir
ownership story, and the first-boot ordering pattern.
Net: harness-base.nix -84 lines, docs +74 lines. Substantive design
context moves to durable docs; in-code refs follow iris's pattern
from her #712 batches (`see docs/<file>::<section>`).
Follow-ups: hive-c0re.nix, hive-forge.nix, hive-matrix.nix (already
trimmed via #775 but a couple of remaining blocks could go), and
the smaller files in #718's scope table. Shipping this first to get
the pattern reviewed before larger batches.
Verified: `nix eval` on agent-base toplevel still resolves.
turn-loop.md:
- remove stale "Agent-only today" note from hive wake (fixed by #698)
- add <parent> sentinel to send tool description (added by #703)
gotchas.md:
- add systemd.services.*.path /bin auto-append gotcha (hit by #672/#705)
revert the earlier 'operator must set allowUnfree' move:
per-agent containers evaluate their own nixpkgs and the operator's
host-level allowUnfree doesn't propagate in. restoring the scoped
allowUnfreePredicate inside both the claude-unstable overlay and
harness-base.nix; documented in README + gotchas as 'nothing to
set on the operator side'.
docs:
- claude.md file map adds crash_watch.rs, kick_agent on coordinator,
/api/model + journald viewer + bind-with-retry references.
- scratchpad rewritten to reflect the recent run.
- web-ui.md: notification row + browser notifications section,
state row (badge + model chip + last-turn chip + cancel button),
per-agent inbox, /model slash, /cancel-question + journald
endpoints, focus-preservation on refresh.
- turn-loop.md: --model is read from Bus::model() per turn (runtime
override via /model); recv(wait_seconds) up to 180s with the
rationale; ask_operator gains ttl_seconds; new TurnState section;
kick_agent inbox-on-startup hint.
- approvals.md: ttl/cancel resolution paths for operator questions.
- persistence.md: /state/hyperhive-model file.
- gotchas.md: web UI port collision policy (rename, don't probe);
bind retry + SO_REUSEADDR shape; auto-unfree restored.
- todo.md: cleaned up empty sections and stale entries; /model
shipped, dropped from the list.
model persistence: /model <name> now writes to /state/hyperhive-model
(in-container), Bus::new reads it on init. operator override survives
harness restart and container rebuild; gone on --purge like every
other piece of agent state. path overridable via HYPERHIVE_MODEL_FILE
for tests. failure to persist is a warn, not fatal — runtime override
still applies, just won't survive a restart.
unfree opt-in: drop the auto-allowUnfreePredicate from
harness-base.nix and the claude-unstable overlay. operator now has to
set nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree (or a predicate listing claude-code)
in their own host config. silent unfree bypass was sketchy; this is
honest. readme + gotchas updated to spell out the snippet.
todo: drops model-persistence + container-crash + journald (all
shipped); adds per-agent send allow-list (constrain who an agent can
message).
claude.md was eating 400 lines of subsystem detail that's useful
when you're working on that subsystem and noise the rest of the
time. split into:
- docs/conventions.md naming, identity, async forms, commit style
- docs/gotchas.md nspawn / nixos-container quirks
- docs/web-ui.md dashboard + per-agent layouts and endpoints
- docs/turn-loop.md claude invocation, wake prompt, mcp surface
- docs/approvals.md approval flow, manager policy, helper events
- docs/persistence.md sqlite dbs, retention, state dir layout
claude.md is now the entry point — file map, reading paths
("pick the doc that matches your task"), quick reminders that
fit on one screen, and a small scratchpad section for in-flight
context. references the docs; the docs don't reference claude.md.
no content was lost — the docs/ files cover everything the old
claude.md did, plus things i wrote up better while extracting.
