The gateway's nginx + dnsmasq no longer run in their own nspawn container.
`nix/host-modules/hive-gateway/default.nix` loses the
`containers.hive-gateway` wrapper and everything that existed only to punch
holes in it: `privateNetwork = false`, `CAP_NET_ADMIN`, five bind mounts,
its own `stateVersion`, `networking.firewall.enable = false`,
`networking.resolvconf.enable = false`, and the `hive-gateway-resolv`
path+service pair. 465 -> 303 lines.
The container never bought isolation here. It shared the host netns by
necessity — nginx binds the host's :80/:443, dnsmasq answers on the bridge —
so each of those settings was undoing a boundary the gateway could not
afford in the first place.
Four things made it more than a deletion, none of them visible in the nix
diff:
- The self-signed cert service also imports the hive CA leaf, so removing it
with the container would have left nginx naming a missing cert file, which
it refuses to load at all.
- The nginx reload is a hive-priv verb. It still needs root, but no longer
for the reason its doc gave, and `--machine=` was both transport and
scope — so the unit name is now hard-coded in the helper as the
containment.
- The lifecycle verb named a container that stops existing.
- `journalctl -M hive-gateway` had no machine to enter.
Per the operator's ruling, the operator verb keeps working and agents lose
it. `InfraContainer` answered three questions that used to share an answer;
it now splits into `name()` (identity), `target()` (Container vs HostUnit),
`service_unit()` (the systemd unit), and `agent_restartable()`, which the
MCP restart path checks before the capability so the refusal cannot read as
"ask for infra_admin". `SIBLING_CONTAINERS` drops the gateway — it gates the
requests that name a container as a string — while `FromStr` still accepts
it, because that answers what a name is, not who may act on it. The
dashboard's gateway journal reads host journald filtered to `nginx.service`.
Prose was corrected where it only named a location, and re-argued where the
container was doing security work: a `0666` per-agent socket was safe
because only the gateway container had the directory bind-mounted. There is
no mount now, so the directory permissions are the whole of the access
control — the constraint holds, its mechanism doesn't.
Gate: nix fmt / clippy --all-targets -D warnings / cargo test all clean (710
tests); hivectl-cli.md regenerated from the clap tree. The nix eval was run
in both TLS shapes at this commit: every delta in the rendered
virtualHosts is one of the three intended path moves, dnsmasq settings are
byte-identical, and the absence probe flips true -> false with bindMounts
emptied.
Part of hyperhive#1898 (b): every docs subdir should have a top-level
README.md link, achieved by moving/renaming where an existing file
already fits the role.
docs/turn-loop.md already served as the hub + index for the three
sub-pages under turn-loop/ (claude-invocation.md, config.md, mcp.md),
so it moves wholesale rather than leaving a redundant top-level
pointer stub. Fixes every inbound/relative link across the repo
(top-level README.md, CLAUDE.md, docs/persistence.md,
docs/tools/scheduling.md, the sub-pages own back-link, hive-agent
README + doc comments, hive-agent/Cargo.toml, .prettierignore per-file
exemption entry) - grepped the whole tree for both turn-loop.md and
turn-loop/ to find every reference rather than trusting a partial
list.
nix fmt clean, cargo check -p hive-agent clean.
The edit_schedule MCP tool accepts interval_seconds as Option<u64>
(positive values only), mapping None→leave-alone and Some(v)→set.
The handler wraps this as .map(Some) before dispatching, so there
is no way to express Some(None) = clear via the agent surface.
The old doc said 'Clearing interval_seconds to null flips
recurring → one-shot' which is only true for the dashboard
PATCH endpoint (which uses the full double-Option form).
Corrected: interval_seconds is positive-only via the MCP tool;
toggling recurring→one-shot is operator-only via the dashboard.
