The three moves above falsify prose in five files, and none of it is
caught by a gate: clippy, cargo test and nix flake check read exactly
zero markdown.
Corrected where a doc stated a DEFAULT or enumerated the vhosts --
gateway (ACME requirements + the header table + the two Forgejo
reachability lines), matrix (gatewayHost, firewall rationale, agent
reachability), network (container table + the HTTP resolution bullet),
turn-loop config, dashboard.
Two mentions are deliberately left alone. `docs/tools/hivectl.md` says
the URL is read from the daemon "instead of assuming forge.<domain>" --
that sentence is about not assuming a shape and stays true. And
matrix.md's breaking-change note describes what `serverName` USED to
default to; it is history, correctly labelled, and rewriting it would
erase the record of an earlier migration.
The ACME line gained a requirement rather than a rename: with the
service names under the swarm domain, every one of those names has to
resolve to this host, not just the hive's own.
Third and last of #2860's agent-facing URL fallbacks. The operator's
ruling was "any special casing is done on the nix side - same binaries,
no hard coded fallback", so the default is deleted rather than replaced.
Every layer guessed the same wrong thing, and each guess was only ever
correct for a process sharing the host netns:
- nix/agent-modules/matrix.nix: matrixUrlDefault = localhost:8008, both
as the option's default and as a sentinel the daemon unit compared
against to decide whether to write HIVE_MATRIX_URL. Now nullOr str,
default null, the guard is != null, and the doc says what forge.url's
already says: null means "no matrix", not "guess one".
- nix/host-modules/hive-c0re/environment.nix: forwarded
http://127.0.0.1:<port> when no gatewayHost was set. hive-c0re shares
the host netns so it reads as harmless, but the value is handed to
agents, which do not -- there it names the agent itself. Now forwarded
only when there is a gateway vhost to name, matching the guard
HIVE_MATRIX_PUBLIC_URL already uses twelve lines below.
- hive-matrix-mcp: paths::DEFAULT_HOMESERVER was the same address
compiled in, so dropping the nix defaults alone would have left the
daemon dialling loopback inside the agent's own netns -- the very bug,
one layer down. homeserver_url() is now Option, and an account with no
homeserver is skipped with a log, exactly as one with no token is.
discover_token_accounts already refused to guess for the same reason.
Two comments taught the assumption back to the next reader ("shared host
netns means every agent container resolves localhost to the same
machine"); both now say which side of the netns boundary they describe.
MATRIX_HTTP keeps its value -- hive-c0re really does share the host
netns -- but no longer claims agents do.
Gated with nix eval against the extended agent-base config, as a pair:
with no url set the daemon unit carries no HIVE_MATRIX_URL, and with one
set it carries exactly that. Either check alone passes on a broken guard.
The connectivity-overrides section still documented
`hyperhive.forge.url = "http://localhost:3000"` as the default and said
the empty string was a valid value. Both stopped being true when the
option became `nullOr str` with `default = null`.
Also says what `null` means and why, since "the default is null" alone
reads like an oversight rather than the point: a loopback default is
only correct when the forge shares the agent's netns, and the units that
would consume the URL are simply not generated without one.
Refs #2860
Agents had the official marketplace configured out of the box but an
empty plugin list, so nothing was installed from it unless an agent's
own config asked. skill-creator is the one plugin that pays for itself
generically: it teaches an agent to write, refine, and evaluate its own
skills, which is exactly the capability an agent can't bootstrap by
being told about it once in a prompt.
Defaulting the option keeps this consistent with claudeMarketplaces,
which already ships the official marketplace the same way. Documented
the list-option semantics next to both: a per-agent definition replaces
the default rather than extending it, so an agent that sets its own
plugin list has to name skill-creator alongside its entries.
