forgejo's F3 federation subsystem resolves its data dir relative to
the binary, which under nixos lands at /run/current-system/sw/bin/data/f3
(read-only nix store) and fatals the daemon at boot. we don't
federate; turn it off.
sub-agent containers post-refactor bind their state at
/agents/<name>/state (manager keeps the legacy /state — see
lifecycle.rs:751). agent.md still said /state/forge-token; corrected
to /agents/{label}/state/forge-token (template-substituted at
boot). tea-login systemd unit now walks both candidates so the same
harness module works for the manager and sub-agents.
agents get `pkgs.tea` (gitea/forgejo CLI) and a tea-login oneshot
that runs `tea login add --url <hyperhive.forge.url> --token
$(cat /state/forge-token)` before the harness starts. idempotent:
exits 0 when the token file is absent (hive-forge not on) or when
~/.config/tea/config.yml already exists. new
`hyperhive.forge.url` option (default http://localhost:3000) so
operators can point at a non-default forge port. claude can now
shell out to `tea repos create`, `tea pulls create`, etc.
avoids fighting an operator-side `services.forgejo` over the
singleton module options. container shares host netns
(`privateNetwork = false`) so agents still dial the forge via
plain `localhost:<httpPort>` and the host firewall is the only
layer that matters. container name is `hive-forge` (no `h-`
prefix) so hive-c0re's lifecycle scanner ignores it — operator
manages it with the standard `nixos-container` CLI. state lives
at `/var/lib/nixos-containers/hive-forge/var/lib/forgejo/` and
survives restarts.
new `services.hive-forge.enable` (off by default) wraps
`services.forgejo` with hyperhive-friendly defaults: sqlite (no
extra db service), built-in ssh on 2222 so it doesn't fight the
host's openssh, http on 3000 (outside hyperhive's 7000/8000/8100-8999
ranges), registration off (operator seeds agent users), private
repos by default. exported as `nixosModules.hive-forge` — operator
imports it on the host alongside hive-c0re. container-side wiring
(MCP tools or a bind-mounted token) is deferred; containers already
share the host netns so they can reach http://localhost:3000 today.
new hyperhive.claudePlugins NixOS option (list of strings) rendered
to /etc/hyperhive/claude-plugins.json. both hive-ag3nt and hive-m1nd
shell out 'claude plugin install <spec>' for each entry once at
startup before the turn loop opens. failures log a warning but don't
abort boot.
new NixOS option in harness-base.nix:
hyperhive.allowedRecipients = [ 'alice' 'manager' ]; # whitelist
hyperhive.allowedRecipients = [ ]; # default = unrestricted
module writes the list as JSON to /etc/hyperhive/send-allow
.json at activation. AgentServer::send reads the file before
issuing the broker request; if the list is non-empty and
`to` isn't on it, the tool returns a claude-readable refusal
string without touching the broker. the manager is always
implicitly permitted regardless of the list — otherwise a
misconfigured allow-list could strand a sub-agent without an
escalation path.
enforcement is in the in-container MCP server (not on the
host's per-agent socket) because the agent's nix config is the
trust boundary anyway — the operator audits agent.nix at
deploy time, the activation-time /etc/hyperhive/send-allow
.json is r/o under /nix/store, so the agent can't tamper at
runtime without going through a new approval.
agent prompt mentions the option + tells claude to route
through the manager when refused. retires the matching TODO
under Permissions / policy.
mixing options.* with bare config-level attributes (boot.*, environment.*, etc.) at the same level isn't supported once the module declares any options — nix needs them under an explicit 'config = { ... }' block. error from the host: 'unsupported attribute boot. caused by introducing top-level options'. wrap accordingly.
new NixOS option in harness-base.nix:
hyperhive.extraMcpServers.<key> = {
command = "/path/to/server";
args = [ ... ];
env = { KEY = "value"; };
allowedTools = [ "send_message" "join_room" ]; # or ["*"]
};
declared as attrsOf submodule so agents stack arbitrarily many.
the module writes the whole map as JSON to
/etc/hyperhive/extra-mcp.json at activation; the harness reads
that file in mcp::render_claude_config and merges each entry
into the rendered --mcp-config under its own mcpServers.<key>
block. allowed_mcp_tools(flavor) extends the --allowedTools
arg with mcp__<key>__<pattern> for every entry — "*" (the
default) becomes mcp__<key>__* so every tool from that server
is auto-approved, or pass a concrete list to tighten.
collision guard: an extra server keyed "hyperhive" is dropped
with a warn-log so user config can't shadow the built-in
surface. malformed JSON / missing file fall back to "no
extras" silently.
prompt note added: agents see "(some agents only) extra MCP
tools surfaced as mcp__<server>__<tool>" and learn they're
declared via agent.nix. retires the matching TODO under
Per-agent extension. matrix-chat agents + bitburner-agent
migration unblocked.
new NixOS module option services.hive-c0re.operatorPronouns
(free text, default 'she/her', example 'they/them'). hive-c0re
takes it as a CLI flag (--operator-pronouns, lib.escapeShellArg'd
in the systemd unit), stores it on Coordinator, threads it into
the meta flake's mkAgent so each agent's systemd service gets
HIVE_OPERATOR_PRONOUNS set. the harness reads the env at boot
and substitutes {operator_pronouns} into the agent / manager
system prompt alongside {label}. nix string is escaped against
backslash + double-quote so non-ascii / quoted values
round-trip safely. prompt addendum: both agent.md and
manager.md mention the operator's pronouns up front so claude
uses them naturally in third-person reference. propagates on
next ↻ R3BU1LD (meta lock bump, no per-agent approval).
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).
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.
- 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).
