A replay consumer now has a 5s idle heartbeat, and the row stream ends at
the first consumer error instead of skipping it. When the server drops the
consumer, as on a restart, two missed heartbeats end the SSE response and
the browser reconnects with Last-Event-ID. Before, the response stayed
open and delivered nothing.
A Last-Event-ID above the stream's newest sequence now replays as a fresh
reader. The server accepts a start past the end and delivers nothing
until the stream reaches it, so a stale id stalled the replay.
swarm-controller's stream tests run against a real nats-server on
loopback (`test_nats`, binary from HIVE_NATS_SERVER, exported by
checks.nix and devshell.nix). They cover: ensuring the stream twice, an
existing stream with other limits being opened as it is, the replay
arriving before live rows, a reconnect getting every later row exactly
once, and a dropped consumer ending the row stream.
The limits test now compares against the subagent stream's own config.
Two comments that described the agent's terminal route as live-only are
corrected.
The reader's subscribe allow-list spelled `$SWARM.term.*`,
`$SWARM.term.*.sub.*` and `$SWARM.agent-state.*` as literals, copies of
private prefixes in hive-agent and swarm-controller. A rename on either side
left the policy behind and the stream stopped with only a connection-level
server error.
swarm-queue-client now owns `term_subject`, `agent_state_subject` and their
`*_wildcard` forms, and `subagent_term::subject_wildcard`; hive-agent's
publishers, swarm-controller's relays and the policy all build from them.
Subjects are byte-identical.
The controller-created term-sub-<agent> stream had max_age only, so a
publishing agent could grow it without bound for 24h. Add a 64 MiB
max_bytes cap with discard: Old (oldest rows drop first, publish never
fails on the cap), and size max_message_size off the queue's live
max_payload rather than a hardcoded guess.
swarm-controller now creates `term-sub-<agent>` for every agent a hive is
declared to run, at start and every minute after, with the config
`swarm_queue_client::subagent_term::open_or_create` spells (subjects
`$SWARM.term.<agent>.sub.>`, max_age 24h). An existing stream is opened as
it is, as the controller does for its other streams and buckets, under the
`$JS.API.STREAM.CREATE.*` grant it already holds.
The agent no longer creates the stream: its token is granted publish on
`$SWARM.term.<agent>.sub.>` and no `$JS.API.STREAM.CREATE|INFO` subject,
and the subagent daemon only publishes. A `CREATE` carries the stream's
config in its payload, which no subject grant narrows, so the agent could
otherwise pick the stream's subjects and limits.
An agent's subagent daemon publishes each subagent's output as terminal
rows on `$SWARM.term.<agent>.sub.<subagent>`, as the agent, into a
per-agent stream it creates itself; swarm-controller lists an agent's
subagents from that stream's subjects and relays one subagent's rows as
SSE; the swarm UI lists them under the agent's terminal preview and
reuses AgentTermPreview, full-screen tab included, with no input.
- swarm-nats.nix: the agent token may also publish
`$SWARM.term.{agent}.sub.>` and `$JS.API.STREAM.CREATE|INFO` on
`term-sub-{agent}`, and nothing else of JetStream. A module-eval arm
pins the agent-token grant as an exact list.
- mcp.nix: hive-subagent-daemon loads the agent's store identity
(`hive-agent-bao-cert/-key/-server-ca`, the ones hive-agent loads)
whenever the agent has a store, not only on the opencode preset. The
agent's own queue secret lives in the store, so this is the credential
the harness connects with.
- hive-subagent-mcp: `swarm_term` reads the agent's queue secret under
that identity, connects with the agent token, opens or creates
`term-sub-<agent>` (max_age 24h), and publishes classified rows from
the sink every subagent line already passes through. The sink only
queues (bounded, drop-and-count); a missing store, refused credential,
failed stream create or failed publish is a log line.
- The stream-json classifier (`stream_enrich`) and the `TermMsg` row
types plus `fit` move from the hive-agent binary into hive-sh4re, so
the subagent daemon publishes the rows AgentTermPreview already
renders. hive-agent keeps its LiveEvent classifier on top.
- swarm-controller: `GET /api/agents/{name}/subagents` and
`GET /api/agents/{name}/subagents/{subagent}/term/stream`.
- docs/swarm: what the UI shows and what the queue carries.
