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 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.

Agents run whatever `claude-code` the meta flake's `nixpkgs` resolves
to, and that is normally a release channel. This one package moves fast
enough that stable trails unstable by weeks — 26.05 is on 2.1.187 while
unstable carries 2.1.220 — and an agent cannot fix it for itself: it
only ever sees the single nixpkgs hive-c0re injects, so an `agent.nix`
has no other tree to reach for.
New host option `services.hyperhive.c0re.claudeCodePackage` takes the
package directly and rides the existing `hyperhiveDocs` threading path —
serveConfigJson -> HiveEnv -> render_flake — to reach each agent as
`hyperhive.claudeCodePath`. Null (the default) is today's behaviour.
What travels is the store *path*, as a plain string literal, not a flake
input: containers share the host's `/nix/store`, so the build is already
reachable inside them with its whole closure and has nothing to travel.
An input would be worse than useless — a `path:/nix/store/<pkg>` input
is re-copied as a reference-less `-source`, which strips exactly the
closure the binary needs.
The catch is that a path written into a generated flake is text, so
nothing in the container's closure keeps the binary alive. The host does
that instead, and gets it for free: the package is interpolated into
`/etc/hyperhive/serve.json`, `builtins.toJSON` preserves string context,
so the /etc entry references it and the system closure gc-roots it for
as long as that generation is the one the agents were rendered from. An
assertion pins that property, because losing the context is invisible at
eval and at deploy — it would surface only as every agent failing to
spawn `claude` whenever the next gc ran.
Container side wraps the path in a symlink farm rather than putting it
on PATH directly: `systemd.services.<name>.path` and
`environment.systemPackages` both coerce a store-path *string* through
`lib.toDerivation`, i.e. `builtins.storePath`, which pure evaluation
rejects. Interpolating the path into a builder is just text and
evaluates anywhere. `claude-code` drops out of systemPackages when a
pin is set, so there is exactly one claude in the container.

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.
