the agent's own root unit reads swarm/agents/<agent>/backend-env into /run and
creates it from backendEnvironmentFile with -cas=0 when the store holds nothing.
the shared agent policy gains create (not update) on that one leaf. the harness
and the subagent daemon load the old file first and the fetched one after it.
the in-swarm cache stores its address, name and public key beside its tokens, create-only. swarm-controller copies the four cache facts to swarm/hives/<hive>/attic/* every five minutes, with read on the sources and write on the copies. part 1 of 3: nothing reads the copies until the hive reader and probe land.
The folded-in secrets.md text sat after the reference's table, so the
reference was half prose. The overview now holds all the prose (where a
secret lives, topologies, the swarm- and hive-level notes, how a reader
reaches the store, the browser UI, adding a secret) and the reference holds
only the tables, each pointing at the section that explains it. No text
dropped; links that asked for the explanation now go to the overview, and
the ones that asked for a list or a row go to the reference.
secrets.md and credentials-reference.md answered the same question from two
pages. secrets.md's text now follows the reference's table and operating
notes as a 'Where each secret lives' section, unchanged apart from where it
sits. Every link and doc path that named secrets.md (docs, nix comments,
crate READMEs) points at credentials-reference.md; anchors are unchanged.
hive-c0re copies the hive's store read token to /run/hyperhive/forge-hive-token
for nix's git credential helper, and no longer mints, reads or falls back to
the core admin token. drops the core user sweep, avatar upload, webhook
cleanup and hive-priv's RunForgeAdmin.
Comments, docs and the hive-c0re README no longer say the hive renders, locks or pushes a meta flake. core/meta is the legacy permission-seed repo that meta::remove_permission_files still commits to; builds come from internal/meta (meta_rev.rs). Docs note that a start of a stale stopped agent can fail until the swarm's update pins the config.
The hive no longer renders, locks or commits a meta flake. A rebuild's
MetaSync node picks the internal/meta commit and records it with the
hyperhive and config pins it holds; Prebuild, Swap and Create build from it,
and a head that does not pin the agent's current config fails the build
naming the agent. hive-priv's meta_rev is required.
Removed: meta.rs sync/lock/render, the manual-rebuild relock, the boot
sweep's hyperhive bump (MetaLock), the update-meta-inputs form and its
panel, MetaWindow, the hive's hyperhive_rev setting.
Kept: agent_set::refresh holds what sync_agents also did (topology.json, the
gateway's agent-socket map and nginx include), called from spawn, destroy,
rebuild and the migration.
The boot reconcile and the stale-start upgrade compare the agent's marker
with the hyperhive pin of internal/meta; the dashboard's deployed chip reads
the config marker a successful build writes.
The swarm UI's user menu moves to @hive/shared and takes the whoami URL and
authelia's URL as props; the swarm UI keeps a thin wrapper, and the hive
dashboard and the per-agent page mount the same component. The dashboard's
nginx vhost proxies /api/whoami to authelia (the agent page is served from
the same vhost), and hive-c0re's state carries authelia_public_url, set from
services.hyperhive.swarm.authelia.url. The agent page shows the menu only
behind the gateway.
