install_configured now takes an optional notify recipient. on a
non-zero or spawn-failed 'claude plugin install', sub-agents send
the spec + stderr to manager via the hyperhive socket; manager
passes None so it doesn't message itself. boot still proceeds either
way — notification is best-effort.
run_claude now keeps a 20-line stderr ring buffer and bails with it
inline (was just 'exit <status>'). agent serve loop, on Failed (not
PromptTooLong — that's already absorbed by drive_turn's compaction
retry), sends the error body to manager via the normal hyperhive
send. swallows transport errors — failure is already in journald
and the events sqlite. manager-only harness (hive-m1nd) is unchanged
so it doesn't try to notify itself.
new hyperhive.claudePlugins NixOS option (list of strings) rendered
to /etc/hyperhive/claude-plugins.json. both hive-ag3nt and hive-m1nd
shell out 'claude plugin install <spec>' for each entry once at
startup before the turn loop opens. failures log a warning but don't
abort boot.
old behavior: omitted wait_seconds fell through to the 30s
RECV_LONG_POLL_DEFAULT — claude calling 'is there anything in
my inbox right now?' between actions blocked the turn for half
a minute. flip the semantics: None (or 0) returns immediately,
positive value parks up to MAX (180s, unchanged). cleaner
'peek vs wait' distinction; tool descriptions + agent/manager
prompts updated to point at the new shape.
harness's own serve loops in hive-ag3nt + hive-m1nd relied on
the old default for their inbox poll. they now explicitly pass
wait_seconds: Some(180) to opt into the full park — same
effective behavior as before, just spelled out.
retires the matching TODO under Turn loop.
new AgentRequest::Wake { from, body } drops a message into
this agent's inbox via the per-agent socket. matrix-style MCP
servers can use it when they receive an external event
(matrix message, webhook, scrape result) to nudge claude
into running a turn. broker.send wakes whatever Recv is
currently long-polling, the harness picks the message up,
formats a wake prompt with the caller's chosen from label
('matrix: new dm', 'webhook: deploy succeeded', etc.).
new `hive-ag3nt wake --from <label> --body <text>` subcommand
on the harness binary so MCP servers can shell out instead of
implementing the line-JSON protocol themselves; body=='-'
reads from stdin for multi-line / quoting-friendly payloads.
identity = socket: anything that can connect to /run/hive/mcp
.sock is implicitly trusted to inject. that's fine because the
bind-mount is the agent's own container; no new auth surface
opens up.
docs/turn-loop.md gets a new 'Waking the agent from inside
the container' section pointing at both paths (CLI + raw
JSON).
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.
new TurnFiles bundle (mcp_config + settings + system_prompt +
flavor) materialised once per harness boot, passed to drive_turn
and compact_session alike. operator-initiated /compact now uses
the exact same session shape as a normal turn — same MCP
surface, same allowed tools, same role prompt — only the stdin
payload differs (/compact vs the wake-up body). web_ui's
AppState carries the TurnFiles instead of (label + socket +
flavor + ad-hoc file writes per click). bin/hive-ag3nt and
bin/hive-m1nd prepare TurnFiles before spawning the web UI and
pass them to both surfaces. web_ui::Flavor folds into a type
alias for mcp::Flavor — no two-stage enum mapping.
removes ClaudeMode + the run_claude variant fork (system prompt
was Option, mcp args were skipped on Compact). dead 'mode'
plumbing gone.
AgentRequest::Recv and ManagerRequest::Recv grow an optional
wait_seconds field (default None → 30s, capped at 60s server-side).
agent_server / manager_server clamp via recv_timeout(). MCP tool
schemas advertise the param so claude can pick its own poll window
— useful when an agent wants to throttle wakes without entering a
distinct nap state.
both harness loops still pass None, keeping the existing 30s
default behaviour for system-level Recvs.
new TurnState { Idle, Thinking, Compacting } on hive_ag3nt::events::Bus
with set_state + state_snapshot. the turn loops in hive-ag3nt and
hive-m1nd flip Thinking before drive_turn and Idle after; the
web_ui's /api/compact handler flips Compacting around compact_session.
per-agent /api/state grows turn_state + turn_state_since (unix
seconds). frontend prefers the server-reported state over the
client-derived one — setStateAbs takes the absolute since-time so
the 'last turn' chip reads the actual server-side duration instead
of the client's perceived gap between SSE events. SSE turn_start /
turn_end still drive state instantly between renders; /api/state
re-anchors on each turn_end refresh.
new compacting state gets its own purple badge with pulse
animation (mirrors thinking's amber). napping will slot in the
same way once the nap tool lands.
new wire request AgentRequest::Recent { limit } / ManagerRequest::Recent
(plus matching responses with Vec<InboxRow>). InboxRow moved to
hive-sh4re so it lives on both surfaces without an internal-to-wire
conversion. host-side dispatch in agent_server / manager_server
calls broker.recent_for(name, limit).
per-agent web_ui /api/state grew an inbox: Vec<InboxRow> populated
via the same per-agent socket (best-effort; transport failure
returns empty). frontend renders as a collapsible <details> section
between the state row and the terminal — fmt timestamp / from /
body in a tight grid, capped at 16em scrollable. only visible when
there are rows.
retention is a host concern — agents have no business doing their
own cleanup, and a misbehaving harness could skip it. drop
spawn_events_vacuum from both hive-ag3nt and hive-m1nd, drop the
matching Bus::vacuum + EventStore::vacuum methods. new
hive_c0re::events_vacuum module sweeps every existing
agents/<name>/state/hyperhive-events.sqlite on the same hourly
cadence as the broker vacuum. same two-stage delete (older than 7
days, trim to 2000 newest). called from main alongside broker
vacuum.
also: server-side state badge entered into todo.md (today's badge
is derived client-side from sse, fine for idle/thinking but a
state machine that grows compacting/napping wants authoritative
status from the harness).
new POST /api/cancel on the per-agent web UI: shells out
pkill -INT claude (procps added to harness-base.nix). emits a Note
on the bus so the operator sees the cancel landed; state goes back
to idle when run_claude wakes and emits TurnEnd as usual.
frontend:
- /cancel slash command in the terminal input
- ■ cancel turn button in the state row, visible only while
state === 'thinking' (driven from the same SSE-based state
machine). disabled briefly during the POST.
claude gets SIGINT (not TERM) so it flushes anything in-flight and
emits a final result row before exiting.
hive_ag3nt::events::Bus replaces its in-memory VecDeque with a sqlite-
backed store at /state/hyperhive-events.sqlite (overridable via
HYPERHIVE_EVENTS_DB). emit() inserts a row; history() reads back the
most recent 2000 events. survives harness restart now — operator reload
mid-investigation no longer wipes the trail.
vacuum runs hourly (immediate first sweep): drop rows older than 7
days, then trim to 2000 newest. two-stage so a quiet agent keeps a
useful tail and a chatty one stays bounded. wired into both
hive-ag3nt and hive-m1nd via spawn_events_vacuum.
if the db open fails (e.g. no /state mount in dev), Bus runs in
no-store mode — events still broadcast, just nothing persisted.
drop the one-shot send/recv/kill/start/restart/request-spawn/request-
apply-commit subcommands from both in-container binaries. they were
debug-only — the host admin socket (`hive-c0re ...`) exposes the
same verbs and the manager mcp surface covers the rest from inside
claude. now each binary's --help shows just `serve` and `mcp`,
which are the only commands either is meant to be started with.
removes the `one_shot` helper and the `render` / `check` glue.
new manager tools mcp__hyperhive__{start,restart} that delegate to the
existing lifecycle::start / lifecycle::restart on the host. kill was
already at the manager's discretion; rounding out start + restart for
parity so day-to-day container care doesn't have to round-trip through
the operator.
guard: refuse self-targeting on kill/start/restart — the manager would
just be cutting its own legs. spawn (request_spawn) and config changes
(request_apply_commit) still go through the approval queue, since those
are the actual gate. prompt + claude.md updated to make the boundary
explicit. kill now also emits HelperEvent::Killed (it didn't before).
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).
- tool_use renders per-tool (Read /path, Bash $ cmd, send → operator: ...)
- tool_result with >120 chars collapses into <details>; short ones inline
- session_init / result / rate_limit dropped from the panel
- thinking content shown inline if present, fallback indicator otherwise
- TurnStart carries unread count → header badge "· 3 unread"
- per-tool [status] line dropped from envelope; lives in wake prompt + UI
- send form moved below the live panel
- live panel themed as a terminal (crust bg, inset shadow, monospace)
