drop the /api/state-file/check probe endpoint (which let any
dashboard visitor enumerate filesystem layout by feeding paths)
and the client's optimistic-then-downgrade dance. instead, the
broker forwarder calls scan_validated_paths(body) — same
allow-list helper as the read endpoint — and attaches the
verified file tokens to DashboardEvent::Sent/Delivered as
file_refs: Vec<String>. /dashboard/history backfill does the
same per-row.
client appendLinkified takes a (text, refs) pair, walks
left-to-right linkifying every occurrence of any ref token,
longest-first tie-break. no regex, no probe, no cache, no
queue. when refs is empty/absent the body emits as plain text
(question/answer/reminder rendering — refs for those are a
follow-up).
operator inbox stores file_refs from the sent event so its
renderer gets the same anchors as the message-flow terminal.
claude.md scratchpad rewritten — folds in pronouns option,
extra MCP servers + flakeInputs forwarding, ask_operator
on sub-agents, dashboard compose box with @-mentions, new-
session button, cwd=/state for claude turns, meta-mutex +
stale-lock cleanup.
readme picks up the operator pronouns option example,
the dashboard compose box description, the new slash
commands list, the deployed-sha chip, the per-agent UI
gains new-session.
docs/web-ui.md gains:
- a fuller MESS4GE FL0W description that calls out the
compose box, sticky @-mention recipient, /op-send, and
the manager-name swap
- /op-send in the dashboard endpoint table
- new-session button + /new-session slash command in the
per-agent surface
- compact endpoint now notes 'same session shape as a normal
turn'
docs/turn-loop.md:
- new-session one-shot, cwd=/state with CLAUDE.md auto-load
walking upward, operator-pronouns substitution
- sub-agent tool list grows ask_operator
- new 'Extra MCP servers (per-agent)' section documenting
hyperhive.extraMcpServers + the flakeInputs forwarding
pattern
readme: manager mcp surface picks up update; operator-surface
recap mentions /model + last-turn + model chip + the three
collapsibles (inbox / journald / agent.nix).
web-ui.md: details-restore-key story under shape; port-conflict
banner mention on containers; agent.nix viewer alongside journald;
notifications use per-event tags + console.debug log on
block/show; deny endpoint takes note=<reason>; data-prompt /
data-prompt-field generalisation noted.
conventions.md: data-prompt and snapshot/restoreOpenDetails added
to the async-forms section.
persistence.md: operator_questions row picks up deadline_at (ttl)
column with a migration note.
todo.md: new 'Bugs' section captures the manager-question
not-rendering issue with three suspect paths to chase.
claude.md scratchpad rewritten as a clean handoff for the
compaction + the upcoming config-git overhaul. flags the
two-repo (proposed/ + applied/) split as the thing to
reconsider.
revert the earlier 'operator must set allowUnfree' move:
per-agent containers evaluate their own nixpkgs and the operator's
host-level allowUnfree doesn't propagate in. restoring the scoped
allowUnfreePredicate inside both the claude-unstable overlay and
harness-base.nix; documented in README + gotchas as 'nothing to
set on the operator side'.
docs:
- claude.md file map adds crash_watch.rs, kick_agent on coordinator,
/api/model + journald viewer + bind-with-retry references.
- scratchpad rewritten to reflect the recent run.
- web-ui.md: notification row + browser notifications section,
state row (badge + model chip + last-turn chip + cancel button),
per-agent inbox, /model slash, /cancel-question + journald
endpoints, focus-preservation on refresh.
- turn-loop.md: --model is read from Bus::model() per turn (runtime
override via /model); recv(wait_seconds) up to 180s with the
rationale; ask_operator gains ttl_seconds; new TurnState section;
kick_agent inbox-on-startup hint.
- approvals.md: ttl/cancel resolution paths for operator questions.
- persistence.md: /state/hyperhive-model file.
- gotchas.md: web UI port collision policy (rename, don't probe);
bind retry + SO_REUSEADDR shape; auto-unfree restored.
- todo.md: cleaned up empty sections and stale entries; /model
shipped, dropped from the list.
claude.md was eating 400 lines of subsystem detail that's useful
when you're working on that subsystem and noise the rest of the
time. split into:
- docs/conventions.md naming, identity, async forms, commit style
- docs/gotchas.md nspawn / nixos-container quirks
- docs/web-ui.md dashboard + per-agent layouts and endpoints
- docs/turn-loop.md claude invocation, wake prompt, mcp surface
- docs/approvals.md approval flow, manager policy, helper events
- docs/persistence.md sqlite dbs, retention, state dir layout
claude.md is now the entry point — file map, reading paths
("pick the doc that matches your task"), quick reminders that
fit on one screen, and a small scratchpad section for in-flight
context. references the docs; the docs don't reference claude.md.
no content was lost — the docs/ files cover everything the old
claude.md did, plus things i wrote up better while extracting.
