submitting R3QU3ST SP4WN immediately queues an approval that lands
in the very next list. the form belonged with that list, not at the
top of containers — the agent doesn't exist yet at form time anyway.
docs: claude.md grows operator_questions.rs / events.rs sqlite /
broker vacuum to the file map; web-ui shape lists the actual current
endpoint set (per-agent cancel/compact/history, dashboard tombstone
purge/answer/spawn); live-view section now describes the state
badge, sticky-bottom scroll, history backfill, and the terminal-
embedded prompt with its slash commands; dashboard-action-surface
rewritten around the new six-section page (containers / kept-state /
questions / inbox / approvals / message-flow) and the two-line
container row. new 'persistence + retention' section documenting both
sqlite databases and their vacuum cadences. readme picks up the new
mgr mcp surface (start/restart/ask_operator) + operator-side
features list + ask_operator answer flow.
todo trimmed of shipped items (bigger terminal / sticky scroll /
cancel button / /compact trigger / /cancel command). new entry for
the two-step spawn-with-preconfig flow.
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.
backend:
- TransientKind grows Starting / Stopping / Restarting / Rebuilding /
Destroying alongside the existing Spawning. each dashboard handler
(start/restart/kill/rebuild/destroy) wraps the lifecycle call with
set_transient + clear_transient so the dashboard knows what's in
flight. transient kind is surfaced inline on ContainerView.pending
(existing-container actions) — only Spawning (pre-creation) lands
in the separate transients list.
frontend:
- container row is now two lines: identity + meta on top, action
buttons below. less cluttered, leaves room for the pending state
pill. pending rows dim their actions and surface a pulsing
'◐ spawning… / starting… / stopping… / restarting… / rebuilding…
/ destroying…' indicator next to the name.
- 'needs login' / 'needs update' chips moved into a unified .badge
styling for consistency.
- auto-refresh kicks in not only on transient spawn but on any
container with a pending action.
undelivered rows are always kept regardless of age (still in flight).
sweep runs immediately on serve start then every hour. logs row count
when non-zero. keep_secs is hard-coded for now (30 days); can be
config-driven later if a host wants to retain more / less for audit.
new --purge flag on the destroy verb (cli + admin socket + dashboard).
default destroy still keeps /var/lib/hyperhive/{agents,applied}/<name>/
so recreating with the same name reuses prior config + creds.
with --purge, both dirs go too (config history, claude creds, /state/
notes). no undo. dashboard adds a separate PURG3 button with an
explicit confirmation copy; the existing DESTR0Y button keeps the
soft semantics.
claude.md dashboard-action-surface section updated; todo entry
dropped.
agent terminal-wrap + dashboard msgflow get a translucent bg with
backdrop-filter blur+saturate so page-bg glow softens behind them.
new rows in the live panel and the dashboard message flow fade in
with a 4px slide-up. unread badge pulses; pending-operator-questions
section pulses its glow. history-backfilled rows skip the animation
(.no-anim) so the page doesn't stagger 100 fade-ins on load.
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).
agent page restructure:
- send form moves into the terminal panel as a prompt-style row beneath
the live tail (status line stays above so it still reads as a header).
- live panel + prompt share a single bordered 'terminal-wrap' box.
- harness-alive / login-state status lines drop their decorative ascii
bookends; just a leading dot/glyph remains.
- banner gradient is now a real css gradient with a shimmer animation
toggled by an .active class. turn_start adds it, turn_end removes it.
dashboard side mirrors this: each broker sse event nudges a 4s
shimmer window.
- dashboard container rows drop their static ▓█▓▒░ / ▒░▒░░ glyph
prefixes; the role chips already disambiguate m1nd vs ag3nt.
- empty-state placeholders drop the ▓ bookends.
terminal pre-fill: hive-ag3nt::events::Bus grows a 500-event ring
buffer; new GET /events/history endpoint returns it. The agent JS
fetches history before opening the SSE stream so opening the page mid-
turn shows the last N events instead of a blank panel. The replay
walks turn_start/turn_end pairs to seed the banner-active state
correctly if a turn was still open.
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).
- harness-base.nix: switch to programs.git for declarative gitconfig.
- agent + manager service path = /run/current-system/sw → agents pick up
new packages from their own agent.nix without harness edits.
- generated applied/<name>/flake.nix overrides programs.git.config.user
(no more raw etc.gitconfig collision).
