leaf module with no runtime callers yet (every public item is
#[allow(dead_code)] until lifecycle / actions / auto_update
rewire to use it). API surface:
- sync_agents — idempotent: render flake.nix for the given
agent set, git-init on first call, nix flake lock, commit if
anything changed.
- prepare_deploy / finalize_deploy / abort_deploy — two-phase
for the request_apply_commit path. prepare runs nix flake
lock --update-input agent-<n> without committing; finalize
commits with a 'deploy <n> deployed/<id> <sha12>' message;
abort git-restores the lock so a failed build leaves no
orphan commit.
- lock_update_hyperhive — one-shot for the auto-update path.
flake.nix template defines mkAgent that pulls each agent's
nixosModules.default from its input and wraps with the
identity / HIVE_PORT / HIVE_LABEL / HIVE_DASHBOARD_PORT
module — what setup_applied used to generate inline. nix
invocations carry --extra-experimental-features as a belt
in case flakes aren't enabled in nix.conf.
new hive_c0re::crash_watch task polls every 10s, builds the set of
currently-running containers, and on running→stopped transitions
checks the transient snapshot: if no Stopping / Restarting /
Destroying / Rebuilding flag is set, the container exited
unexpectedly and we fire HelperEvent::ContainerCrash into the
manager's inbox so it can react (typically: start it again).
first poll is a seeding pass — no events on harness startup. dbus
subscription would be lower-latency but polling is honest and
debuggable, and a 10s delay on crash detection is fine for our
scale.
manager prompt + approvals doc updated to advertise the new
event variant. todo drops the entry (and the journald-viewer
entry that already shipped).
five POST handlers (post_kill / post_restart / post_start / post_rebuild)
were all repeating the same boilerplate: strip prefix, set_transient,
call lifecycle::X, clear_transient, match the result. extract one
helper that takes the transient kind, error-message verb, the work
body, and an optional 'on success' tail (used by kill to also
unregister + emit HelperEvent::Killed). each handler shrinks to a
single lifecycle_action(..) call. zero behavior change.
retention is a host concern — agents have no business doing their
own cleanup, and a misbehaving harness could skip it. drop
spawn_events_vacuum from both hive-ag3nt and hive-m1nd, drop the
matching Bus::vacuum + EventStore::vacuum methods. new
hive_c0re::events_vacuum module sweeps every existing
agents/<name>/state/hyperhive-events.sqlite on the same hourly
cadence as the broker vacuum. same two-stage delete (older than 7
days, trim to 2000 newest). called from main alongside broker
vacuum.
also: server-side state badge entered into todo.md (today's badge
is derived client-side from sse, fine for idle/thinking but a
state machine that grows compacting/napping wants authoritative
status from the harness).
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 --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.
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).
