The cancel-loose-end guards (cancel approval / question / reminder)
inferred manager-level privilege by string-matching the canceller
against the hardcoded `hive_sh4re::MANAGER_AGENT` ("ruth"). That laundered
privilege through a name: a request arrives on the privileged manager
socket, gets stamped with the bootstrap agent's name, and the guards
re-derive privilege from that name. Renaming or replacing the bootstrap
agent would then silently move privilege.
Privilege is a property of the SOCKET the request arrived on (the manager
socket is the trust boundary), so thread an explicit `privileged: bool`
through `dispatch_shared` → `handle_cancel_loose_end` → the three guards:
- `Broker::cancel_reminder_as` and `OperatorQuestions::cancel`: the
`== MANAGER_AGENT` leg becomes `privileged` (owner/asker + operator name
legs unchanged).
- `check_approval_canceller_is_manager(canceller)` →
`check_can_cancel_approval(privileged)` (manager-socket-only); unit tests
updated to assert on the flag.
The manager socket passes `privileged = true`; the agent socket passes
`false`. `MANAGER_AGENT` is still passed as the actor NAME for legitimate
attribution/routing (notifications, schedule ownership, bootstrap
destroy-protection) — those are not privilege checks and are left intact.
Scope is the privilege guards only.
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.
questions pane now shows both operator-targeted threads
(target IS NULL) and agent-to-agent threads (target = some
agent). filter chips above the list: all / @operator / @peer /
per-participant. peer rows get a mauve left rule + a 0V3RR1D3
button that POSTs the same /answer-question endpoint
(OperatorQuestions::answer already permits the operator as
answerer on any target).
wire changes: OperatorQuestions gains pending_all +
recent_answered_all; QuestionAdded + QuestionResolved events
carry target: Option<String>; emit sites drop their
target.is_none() guard. answered-history rows show the
answerer prefix so override answers are auditable at a glance.
new AgentRequest::AskOperator + AgentResponse::QuestionQueued on
the per-agent socket — same shape as the manager flavor, agent
gets the same wire surface (still uses the same operator_questions
table). agent_server::dispatch wires AskOperator through coord
.questions.submit(agent, ...) so the row's asker is the sub-agent
name; the ttl watchdog already in manager_server gets shared and
spawn_question_watchdog goes pub.
answer routing: operator_questions::answer now returns (question,
asker). post_answer_question + post_cancel_question + the watchdog
fire OperatorAnswered through new coord.notify_agent(asker, event)
instead of always notify_manager — the event lands in whichever
agent originally asked. notify_manager is now a thin wrapper.
agent socket plumbing: agent_server::start takes Arc<Coordinator>
instead of Arc<Broker> so dispatch has access to questions +
notify path; coordinator::{register_agent,ensure_runtime} take
self: &Arc<Self>. mcp::AgentServer grows the ask_operator tool;
allowed_mcp_tools(Agent) adds it; prompts/agent.md replaces the
'message the manager to ask the operator' guidance with the
direct tool description.
manager can pass ttl_seconds to ask_operator. on submit, host
stores deadline_at = now + ttl in operator_questions (new column,
migrated via existing pragma_table_info pattern), spawns a tokio
task that sleeps until the deadline then resolves the question with
answer '[expired]' and fires the same OperatorAnswered helper event.
already-resolved races no-op silently.
dashboard renders a '⏳ MM:SS' chip on the question row when
deadline_at is set. format collapses seconds → s, < 1h → m s, ≥ 1h
→ h m. heartbeat refresh (5s) keeps the chip current; the operator
sees it tick down.
manager prompt + mcp tool description updated. journald viewer per
container queued in todo (separate task).
new section between containers and questions: lists every name with a
state dir under /var/lib/hyperhive/agents/ that doesn't correspond to
a live container. shows state size + last-modified age + whether
claude creds are kept. two actions per row:
- R3V1V3 — queues a spawn approval with the same name (operator
approves to recreate; spawn flow reuses prior config + claude
creds, no re-login needed)
- PURG3 — wipes the agent's state + applied dirs (post /purge-tombstone/
endpoint; refuses if a live container with that name still exists)
dashboard also opens agent links in new tabs now (target=_blank +
rel=noopener) so the operator's overview tab stays put when they
dive into an agent.
ask_operator now accepts a multi: bool. when true and options is
non-empty, the dashboard renders the choices as checkboxes — operator
picks any subset, answer comes back as a ', '-joined string. when
false (default), options are radio buttons.
independent of multi, a free-text input ('or type your own…') is
always rendered alongside options so the operator is never trapped
by an incomplete list. submit merges checked options + free text into
the single 'answer' field.
schema migration: operator_questions grows a multi INTEGER column
with a one-shot ALTER TABLE on open. backward compatible — old rows
default to 0 (not multi).
prompt + mcp tool description updated; existing dashboard css for
.qform was rewritten around the new vertical layout.
new mcp tool on the manager surface that queues a question on the
dashboard and returns the question id immediately. operator submits an
answer via /answer-question/<id>; the dashboard fires
HelperEvent::OperatorAnswered { id, question, answer } into the manager
inbox so the next turn picks it up.
also: fix async-form button stuck on spinner after successful submit
(refreshState skipped re-rendering, so the button was never re-enabled).
