Addresses mara's review: each credential type gets its own PrivRequest
variant, making the exact priv surface visible in the wire protocol.
No runtime filename dispatch — the operation name is the gate.
- WriteAgentForgeToken { agent_name, token } → state/forge-token
- WriteAgentMatrixToken { agent_name, token } → state/matrix-token
- priv_client: two typed fns (write_agent_forge_token, write_agent_matrix_token)
- forge.rs: split mint_and_persist_token into mint_and_persist_agent_token
(priv) + mint_and_persist_core_token (direct write); drop dead token_path fn
- matrix.rs: call write_agent_matrix_token directly
Addresses mara's security review: replace validate_state_filename (which
accepted any non-traversal filename) with a tight allowlist containing
only the two known credential filenames: forge-token and matrix-token.
Also addresses argus review feedback:
- drop issue tag from priv_proto.rs doc comment
- add comment explaining the path-detection heuristic in forge.rs
- add note about create_dir_all uid=0 edge case in write_agent_state_file
hive-c0re runs as the unprivileged hive-core user (privsep from #702)
and cannot write to agent-owned state directories. forge-token and
matrix-token writes were failing with EACCES on every startup sweep.
Add WriteAgentStateFile to PrivRequest: hive-priv (root) writes the
file 0600 and chowns it to the agent user so the agent can read it.
- hive-sh4re: add AGENT_STATE_ROOT constant + WriteAgentStateFile variant
- hive-priv: validate agent name + filename (no traversal), write via root
- priv_client: add write_agent_state_file helper
- forge: mint_and_persist_token routes agent paths through priv
- matrix: ensure_user_for routes matrix-token through priv
Closes#1257
The implementation now queries ActiveState and dispatches reload/
reset-start/start rather than blindly calling systemd-run nginx -s reload.
Clarify that machine-bus transport requires root.
forge_admin() spawned nixos-container run hive-forge directly from the
hive-core process. nixos-container run uses nsenter to enter the container
namespaces, which requires root. hive-core is unprivileged, so every call
failed with: nsenter: stat of /proc/<pid>/ns/user failed: Permission denied
Fix: add RunForgeAdmin { args } to PrivRequest. hive-priv (root) handles
it by spawning nixos-container run hive-forge -- runuser -u forgejo --
forgejo --work-path /var/lib/forgejo admin <args>. forge_admin() now calls
priv_client::run_forge_admin().
matrix: ensure_user_for hit M_USER_IN_USE then failed when the stored
password file was missing (state dirs wiped but homeserver kept accounts).
Previously required manual hivectl matrix reset-password <name>.
Fix: add auto_reset_password() — calls the admin API (PUT
/_synapse/admin/v2/users/@<name>:<server> with the hive admin token) to
set a new random password, then proceeds with login. Falls back to the
existing manual-recovery error if the admin token is unavailable.
Closes#1234
The privsep drop to the hive-core user left four journalctl -M <container>
call sites shelling out directly. -M enters the container namespace via the
machine bus, which needs root, so all container-journal reads failed with
Permission denied. Add a ReadContainerJournal verb to hive-priv and route
dashboard get_journal, manager get_logs, the rebuild-failure journal tail,
and the agent host-journal -M path through it. Host-journal reads (no -M)
stay direct via systemd-journal group membership.
Add `hivectl gateway {create-user,delete-user,list-users}` subcommands for
managing htpasswd files used by gateway Basic auth. Pure Rust bcrypt
(cost 12, $2y$ prefix nginx accepts). No external htpasswd binary required.
Also fix the NixOS module assertion: `cfg.auth ? htpasswdFile` is always
true in the module system (declared options always exist as keys); switch
to `nullOr path; default = null` + `!= null` check so the assertion
actually fires with a useful error when enable=true but no file is set.
Guard bind-mount and nginx config against null to prevent eval errors.
Update docs/gateway.md to show hivectl commands instead of raw htpasswd.
