Permission::default_for and hive-sh4re's MANAGER_AGENT are gone: every
agent with no permissions key holds Permission::DEFAULT, ruth included.
The agent-name parameters that only fed default_for go with it
(permissions::effective, HiveCopy::before_read/after_read and their
callers).
swarm-controller seeds the grant ruth held by name: at start, a declared
ruth whose permissions are unset gets DEFAULT plus manage_root_agent
written into her key, once, logged. A set key is never touched. It is a
one-shot to delete once every swarm has passed it.
The swarm UI setup assistant opens the create form with
manage_root_agent checked, so a new ruth is created with the grant.
permissions_import no longer adds ruth to the import or splits her
default. Docs and help text no longer say ruth holds the grant by
default; swarmctl-cli.md regenerated.
mara on #5170: "dont split caps and perms. its all perms. / dont include
the now empty tool groups / nothing set -> default / also add perms to
agent creation screen".
- hive-sh4re: one `Permission` enum (messaging, meta, inbox, execution,
web_tools, manage_root_agent) replaces `ToolGroup` and `Capability`;
`lifecycle`/`forge` are gone. `Permission::default_for` is the default
for an agent the swarm sets nothing for.
- The record is `{ "permissions": [...] }`. Missing key, unset field or
no successful read yet = default; `[]` = none; a failed read after a
good one keeps the last value.
- hive-agent reads its own key every 10s and builds each turn's --tools,
--allowedTools and MCP config (rewritten before every turn) from it;
the subagent daemon reads it on each start/continue. Agents get a
read-only grant on their own key.
- hive-c0re restarts an agent only when its manage_root_agent changes.
The import now merges meta/capabilities.json and meta/tool-groups.json
into one list per agent and deletes both; the "import pending, don't
read" decision is `ImportOutcome::read_allowed`, table-tested.
- swarm-controller: `GET /api/permissions` (names + default) and an
optional `permissions` on `POST /api/agents`, stored before the job is
queued. swarm-ui's create-agent form gets a permissions field.
- Deleted: HIVE_TOOL_GROUPS and its forward to the subagent daemon,
tool_groups.rs, ruth's tool-group seed, the permissions rebuild job
(PermPayload/WritePermFile/perm_change), the dashboard permissions tab
and its stale-entries panel.
Part of #5170.
