swarm-controller re-issues an agent's store leaf at half its validity, but
the running container kept presenting the copy its hive delivered at
start, so a re-issued leaf reached the agent only on its next restart.
hive-agent-bao-identity now seeds a live copy of the pair in its own
runtime directory from the delivered credentials, and re-runs every 10
minutes: it logs in with the live leaf, reads its own
swarm/agents/<agent>/bao-mtls (a read render_agent already grants), and
when the leaf changed, logs in with the new pair and swaps it in only if
the store accepts it.
Every unit in the container that logs in to the store presents the live
pair: hive-agent (queue-identity.nix), hive-matrix-daemon,
hive-subagent-daemon, hive-agent-forge-token, hive-agent-forge-accounts
and hive-agent-github-token. They keep loading the server CA as a
credential. The long-running daemons are ordered after the refresher so
the live pair exists when they start.
It renews only while the held leaf is still valid: the login that reads
the new leaf is made with the current one.
Refs #5017
- docs/web-ui/README.md: drop the removed Credentials tile from the
H0M3 hub list.
- api-error.ts, hive-warn.js: rewrite comments pointing at
dashboard/src/credentials.js and credentials.html, now deleted, to
state what the code does instead.
- swarm-secret-client/src/github.rs: correct the Credential.value doc
to the actual read command (bao kv get -format=json | jq
.data.data.value), keeping the load-bearing-field-name point.
- github-token.nix, agent-github-bao.nix, LinkGithubAccountForm.tsx:
restate added comments as current behaviour instead of changelog
wording ("has always had", "holds the token now").
Refs #4347
An operator links an agent's GitHub personal access token in the swarm UI
(LinkGithubAccountForm, "link github account" on /agents). swarm-controller's
PUT /api/hives/{hive}/agents/{agent}/github-account stores it at
swarm/agents/<agent>/github-token (swarm_secret_client::github), a flat leaf
under the agent's prefix that the agent's existing read grant already covers:
no policy change, and no list grant, since there is one token per agent.
In the agent, hive-agent-github-token (oneshot + 2-minute timer, as the agent
user, under its own store certificate, ordered before hive-github-notify)
reads that path and writes <state>/github-token, 0600 and agent-owned, the
file the gh wrapper, git credential helper and hive-github-notify already
read. It replaces the file by rename only when the bytes changed and never
deletes it: a hive-written github-token stays until a token is linked in the
swarm UI. It is installed only with a store address and
services.hyperhive.agent.github.enable.
Removed: the dashboard's CR3D3NTIALS page (credentials.html/js/css, its
build entries and H0M3 tile; GITHUB was its only tab), hive-c0re's
dashboard/matrix_accounts.rs with GET/POST /api/github-account,
priv_client::write_agent_github_token, the host socket's
SetAgentGithubToken and `hivectl github set-token`, and hive-priv's
WriteAgentGithubToken with write_agent_state_file, its only caller gone.
Docs: integrations/github.md and swarm/ui.md describe the swarm path,
swarm/credentials.md gains the store-path row, and the hive UI docs,
hivectl docs and security.md's hive-priv table drop the removed pieces.
Closes#4347
