The default `http://localhost:3000` was a guess, and a guess that
evaluates is worse than one that doesn't: the forge may run on a
different host from the agents, and inside an agent's network namespace
`localhost` reaches the agent itself, not the forge. hive-c0re renders
this option into every agent's config from the host's `HIVE_FORGE_URL`,
which `hive-c0re.nix` sets unconditionally, so nothing legitimate was
relying on the default to be there.
Also tightens the URL assertion, which accepted `""`. That escape hatch
only existed because the default made the empty case unreachable; with
the default gone, `""` is exactly what a caller supplies when they have
nothing, so it now fails naming the option instead of silently building
a config that talks to nowhere.

The poller was a `tokio::spawn` inside the `hive-agent` serve loop. It
never needed anything from that loop except a socket path, so being
in-process bought nothing and cost two things: a harness restart took
forge notifications down with it, and the whole forge/HTTP dependency
tree was linked into the serve-loop binary.
It is now `hive-forge-notify`, a per-agent daemon with its own systemd
unit, a sibling of `hive-bash-daemon` and `hive-matrix-daemon`. Same
contract as those two: it reaches the harness only by upserting todos on
the in-agent socket, and nowhere else.
The module moves verbatim (`notify.rs`) — the formatters, the activation
gates, the dedupe map and all 33 tests are unchanged. Only the socket
call sites are rewritten, onto a small local `todo_client` rather than
the harness's. That mirrors what both sibling daemons already do, and
the etiquette differs on purpose: the harness's client carries a 60s
backoff schedule sized to ride out a hive-c0re restart, which its
callers need because they have no retry of their own. This poller's two
call sites both sit inside the 30s poll loop and both treat a failure as
"leave the thread unread, try next tick", so the poll interval already
is the retry; a second backoff would only stack sleeps and delay the
rest of the batch.
The unit is `Restart=on-failure`, not `always`. An agent with no forge
account is a supported configuration and the poller reports it by
logging why and exiting 0 — under `always` that clean exit would be a
restart loop on every forge-less agent.
`forgejo-api`, `url` and `time` drop out of `hive-agent`'s dependencies
with the module.
Also corrects docs that outlived the code they described: the persisted
`forge_cursor` field is long gone (forge's own read-state is the durable
record of what has been delivered), but `docs/persistence.md` and the
`harness_state` module docs still documented it as live.
