The disk sampler ran `du -sxb` as the unprivileged hive-core user over
each agent's state/, work/ and container rootfs. hive-core cannot read
the rootfs or all of the agent-owned files, so `du` failed and each
failed path silently counted as 0: the dashboard showed a few MB for
agents using over 13 GB.
Add a hive-priv `MeasureAgentDisk { agent_name }` op. hive-priv
validates the name, derives the three paths itself (the request carries
no path), skips the ones that don't exist, and runs one
`du -s -x -b -c -P` as root with a 10 min timeout. A timeout, a non-zero
exit or output without a `total` line is an error.
hive-c0re calls it every 30 min instead of running `du` every 5 min:
each pass walks every agent's full tree as root on the disk the agents
work on, and the sizes move slowly. A failed measurement is cached as
None, so `disk_bytes` is null, the OTel storage.usage sample is omitted
and the dashboard shows "unknown", never 0.
`Coordinator::agent_work_dir` had no other caller and is removed.
Closes#4956
Agents keep git worktrees and cargo target dirs under /home/<agent>,
which lives in the container rootfs and is deleted on destroy. They
can't move them under state/, because a claude started there walks up
into state/CLAUDE.md and takes on the agent's identity.
Add a per-agent work/ dir next to state/ on the host
(/var/lib/hyperhive/agents/<n>/work), bind-mounted RW at
/agents/<n>/work. hive-c0re creates it in ensure_state_dir and in
set_nspawn_flags (the rebuild path reaches only the latter), the
agent's activation chowns it to the agent user like state/ and
harness/, and measure_agent_disk counts it. destroy never touches the
agent root, so work/ survives it; purge removes the whole root, so
work/ goes with it.
Closes#4977
Nothing submits an approval since scheduled prompts left hive-c0re, so the
queue only acted on rows written before that.
- hive-c0re: the approvals store and its migrations, approve/deny/
resolve actions, the ResolveApproval tail node (and meta_update's
approval_id), POST /api/approve and /api/deny, the approval views on
/api/state, the approval_resolved dashboard event, the orphan GC,
destroy/purge failing pending rows, and the approval rows in
get_loose_ends. DestroyBookkeeping loses the purge flag, which only
worded the approval-failure note.
- The CancelLooseEnd request goes: its only hive-c0re arm was the
approval one. cancel_loose_end handles reminder and todo in the harness.
- Wire types: hive_sh4re::approvals (ReminderStats moves to inbox),
LooseEnd::Approval, CancelLooseEndKind, HelperEvent::ApprovalResolved,
ToolGroup::Approvals, HostRequest::{Pending,Approve,Deny} and
HostResponse.approvals. HOST_SOCK_VERSION goes to 2 for the removed
field.
- hivectl loses the approvals verbs; docs/tools/hivectl-cli.md is
regenerated.
- The system prompt drops approval_resolved.
- The approvals table stays in broker.sqlite, unread, the same way the
operator_questions table was left when its store was removed.
- An `approvals` entry still in tool-groups.json is skipped with a warning
by ToolGroup::parse_list, like any unknown group.
- docs/agent-lifecycle/approvals.md is renamed to config-changes.md so the
code's doc pointers resolve; its content follows in the docs commit.
Scheduled prompts are swarm-level now (swarmctl schedule, #4936). The hive
keeps the rows it has only so the operator can copy them over.
- hive-c0re no longer fires anything: the scheduled-prompts worker is gone,
and with it every create/edit/cancel/pause/resume/fire path (dashboard
endpoints, agent-socket verbs, the SchedulePrompt approval kind and its
approve handler). The store keeps open + list; GET /api/schedules stays.
- A v6 approvals migration drops schedule_prompt rows.
- Nothing submits approvals any more, so the submit path goes too:
Approvals::submit_kind (now a test fixture), the ApprovalAdded dashboard
event and its emitter.
- Coordinator::push_todo, whose only caller was the worker, goes, and with
it hive_host_sock::agent_todo_socket and hive-c0re's hive-agent-sock /
hive-sock-client deps.
- The schedules_changed dashboard event goes; nothing mutates the rows.
- Agents lose request_schedule_prompt, cancel_schedule, fire_schedule_now,
edit_schedule and list_schedules, the `scheduling` tool group, their
system-prompt line and their transcript formatters. `remind` is unchanged.
An operator's merge on the forge deploys a config PR through
swarm-controller's DeployRequest{rev}. The hive-side path that queued a
MergeConfigPr approval and merged the PR as `core` goes:
- the `/webhook/config-pr` receiver, its HMAC secret, the WebhookRegister
boot node and the org-hook registration; the hive vhost's `/webhook/`
location
- the 5-minute config-PR poll
- ApprovalKind::MergeConfigPr, its dashboard card, and the deploy DAG it
drove (DeployWindow, MergeVerify, DeployApply, FinalizeDeploy,
DeployTail), with verify_commit, the two-phase meta deploy, rollback
refs, the PR-failure comment and forge/pr_merge.rs
- `fetched_sha`, `sha_short`/`pr_number` on approval events, and
`sha`/`tag` on HelperEvent::ApprovalResolved: only the merge path set
them
`config_repo`, `merged_pr_for_commit` and `post_pr_comment` move to
forge/pr_comment.rs for the merged-rev deploy's refusal comment.
Approvals v5 drops stored `merge_config_pr` rows; a test reopens a v4
database holding them.
Closes#4850
swarm-controller's POST /api/agents now refuses (409) a name the swarm
has already placed on a different hive: a non-Destroyed declaration in
that hive's wanted state, or a SetAgentWanted node still queued for it.
The same name on the same hive is that agent being re-created and goes
through. A wanted state that cannot be read refuses (503/500) instead of
reading as "placed nowhere". Creations are serialised from that read to
the graph insert so two concurrent creations of one name cannot both
pass.
Hive-level creation is removed: hivectl `agent create` / `request-create`,
HostRequest::Spawn / RequestSpawn, the dashboard POST /api/request-spawn
route, and ApprovalKind::Spawn with its approve/resolve arms and the
approval-carrying `templates::spawn`. The swarm path (deploy request or
wanted-state sweep -> queue_first_deploy -> templates::first_deploy) used
none of them. Old `spawn` approval rows are skipped by collect_lenient,
as `init_config` rows were in a3b672d1.
policy.rs's comment on agent_object_name stated swarm-wide name
uniqueness as a fact; it now says where it is enforced and what that
check cannot see.
Refs #4396
An agent name that is not a valid Ident made `Coordinator::agent_paths`
panic. Job payloads carry names as plain strings (the swarm's published
wanted state is one source), and a panic inside a job-queue node never
reaches `complete_growing`, so the node's resources (the deploy
window included) were held until hive-c0re restarted. `agent_paths` now
returns an error; the job-queue nodes, the admin-socket spawn and
set-limits paths, the root-agent spawn and the dashboard set-limits
handler propagate it.
`lifecycle::list().await.unwrap_or_default()` turned a failed container
list into "no agents":
- meta-update cascade: the lock bump committed and zero rebuilds fanned
out, reported as success. The cascade is now resolved before the lock
bump and a list failure fails the node.
- dashboard update-all: queued nothing and returned 200 "ok". Now 500
with the error.
- container rescan: every row was emitted as removed and the cache
emptied. Now the last snapshot stands; `hivectl status` gets an error.
- dashboard journal: answered 404 "no managed container". Now 500.
- spawn/rebuild port-collision check: silently skipped. Now fails.
- startup migration: the per-agent phases ran over nothing, and phase 3
handed an empty agent list to `meta::sync_agents`, which renders the
meta flake with exactly the agents it is given. Both now log the list
failure and skip.
The hive-jobq scheduler still leaks a node's resources on any executor
panic; that root is not addressed here.
Refs #4723
tool_groups::read and capabilities::read returned an empty map when
their file existed but didn't parse. Every set_*/remove_agent is a
read-modify-write, and write() rewrote the file in place, so a crash or
ENOSPC mid-write left a truncated file, and the next write (e.g. the
manager-spawn seed of ruth's tool groups) replaced it with a map holding
only one agent. The scheduling and approval gates then denied every
other agent, recoverable only from meta git history.
- Both registries now read through agent_config::read_map: a missing
file is still the empty map, any other read failure or a parse
failure is an io::Error. set_groups / set_caps / remove_agent fail
without writing.
- Writes go through agent_config::write_map: temp file in the same
directory, fsync, rename, fsync the directory. hive-c0re had no
shared atomic-write helper (the existing tmp+rename sites are inline
and don't fsync).
- Callers of read / groups_for / has_cap now handle the error:
* dashboard GET /api/tool-groups, /api/capabilities,
/api/permissions/stale return 500 instead of an empty table;
* the SSE permission snapshots are skipped with a warn;
* render_flake returns Result, so sync_agents fails instead of
rendering every agent without its tool groups / capabilities;
* set_nspawn_flags propagates has_cap's error;
* the socket tool-group gates deny with the read error as message;
* seed_manager_tool_groups logs and does not seed.
- capabilities::write had no callers left once set_caps writes through
write_map, and is removed.
Closes#4719
`topology.json` was a map of `name -> parent | null`, and that value fed
the whole agent hierarchy: `<parent>` / `<children>` recipient sentinels,
the reparenting API (CLI verb, wire verb, dashboard endpoints, DAG node),
the dashboard tree, the rebuild depth sort, and an unconditional
bind-mount grant giving every agent RW on its direct children's state.
Per the operator's ruling the field goes, and with it all of the above.
The file survives as what remains once the value is gone: the roster of
agent names, which is the set `ManageRootAgent` grants mounts over. It is
now a JSON array; `read` still accepts the old map shape and keeps its
keys, so a hive that upgrades across this does not blank its roster (and
so no capability holder loses its mounts for the length of that window).
Two sites kept their behaviour under a different recipient rather than
losing it. Both addressed `<parent>`, which the broker already resolved to
`operator` for a root agent, and every agent is now what that fallback
called a root:
- the harness's turn-failure / plugin-failure notification
(`Surface::send_to_parent` -> `send_to_operator`), and
- the send allow-list's always-permitted escape hatch, so an agent with a
restrictive allow-list still has a way to say it is stuck.
What is NOT preserved, deliberately: an agent with no capability no longer
sees any other agent's dirs. `ManageRootAgent`'s own grant is unchanged --
still every agent in the roster, still state RW + config RO, still no
`harness`.
The dashboard's reparenting control (the M0V3 picker) is deleted with its
CSS. The tree rendering that reads `ContainerView.parent` is left for the
frontend owner -- it degrades to a flat list with the field gone.
meta.rs writes each agent's flake, and it still named the pre-move
`hyperhive.*` paths — so every agent rebuild would print a rename
deprecation warning about a line no human wrote and no operator could fix.
A warning nobody can act on trains everyone to ignore the ones that matter,
which is the whole value of the alias shims.
Repoints the FORWARDED_VAR_OPTIONS table and every other emitted option
assignment (otel.*, docs.source, claudeCodePath, github.enable, user.name,
claudeMemoryMaxBytes) to `services.hyperhive.agent.*`, with the test
expectations that pin the rendered text. The flake input named `hyperhive`
(`hyperhive.url`, `hyperhive.inputs.nixpkgs.follows`,
`hyperhive.nixosConfigurations.*`), hive-tier `services.hyperhive.*` paths,
and the `@hyperhive.local` git identity share the word and are untouched.
Also repoints the same option paths where they appear in comments, rustdoc
and runtime message strings across the other crates — a refusal message
naming `hyperhive.allowedRecipients` sends an operator to a path that will
stop existing. Prose under docs/ is deliberately not in this commit.
Refs #4473
swarm-controller's `InitAgentConfigRepo` node already covers config-repo
creation, so this deletes a duplicate rather than a capability; old
`init_config` rows are skipped by `collect_lenient` with no migration, by
operator decision.
Refs #4398
mara (#4170): swarm-ui's wanted-state dropdown could only ever declare
up/offline/destroy, with no way to swarm-declare the existing hive-local
turn-loop pause (`hivectl agent pause|resume`).
`AgentState::Paused` is not a fifth peer of Up/Offline/Destroyed on the
power axis this enum otherwise answers — it's Up plus an orthogonal
turn-loop pause. `hive-c0re`'s `workers::wanted` reconcile loop now
decides the two axes independently (`decide` for power, the new
`decide_pause` for the marker), so a stopped agent declared Paused
converges with both a Start and a Pause in the same pass.
Known, deliberate limitation: a Paused declaration on an agent this
hive has never deployed only reaches Deploy this pass — writing the
pause marker into a harness dir that may not exist yet was judged not
worth the risk, so it converges on the next pass once the agent is
present instead.
swarm-ui's WantedMenu gains a fourth "paused" option (warning-tone
badge). No separate "resume" entry — selecting "up" from a paused row
already clears the marker via the same decide_pause path.
Pause/resume marker writes go through one shared
Coordinator::set_paused_by_name helper, used by both the interactive
dashboard pause/resume handlers and this reconcile loop, instead of
each duplicating the parse-name/write-marker/track-rescan shape.
swarm-ui's "offline" and "paused" confirm dialogs share one
confirmTarget state and one ConfirmDialog instead of two near-identical
copies.
Closes#4170
Per mara's go-ahead on hyperhive#3902 ("getting started is good, but
terminal rendering does not go in there i think"):
Moved 21 top-level docs/*.md files into 7 new topic subdirectories
(existing web-ui/, turn-loop/, swarm/, tools/, crates/ untouched):
getting-started/ setup.md
agent-lifecycle/ agent-hierarchy.md, approvals.md, persistence.md
trust-boundary/ boundary.md, security.md
integrations/ forge.md, matrix.md, github.md, knowledge.md
networking/ gateway.md, network.md, snapshot-store.md
scheduler/ jobq.md, coordinator.md, ci.md, observability.md
process/ conventions.md, gotchas.md, pr-review-gate.md
web-ui/ terminal-rendering.md (moved into the EXISTING dir,
per mara's correction to the original getting-started
guess -- it's UI implementation detail, not onboarding)
The physical layout now matches docs/README.md's own topical headers,
which already amounted to this taxonomy -- see the scoping comment on
the issue for the two findings that motivated this (a genuine
duplication between CLAUDE.md's old "Reading paths" list and
docs/README.md's grouped one, since drifted out of sync with each
other; and the flat layout not matching the grouping we already had).
Fixed every cross-reference this moved across the whole repo (~120
files: docs/ internal links at every depth, Rust doc comments, nix
module option docs, crate READMEs) -- verified two ways: a grep sweep
confirming zero remaining references to any old path, and a script
that resolves every markdown link in docs/**/*.md + CLAUDE.md +
README.md against the filesystem and reports anything that doesn't
exist (zero broken links).
Collapsed CLAUDE.md's "Reading paths" section (the duplicate) down to
a pointer at docs/README.md, now the single index. Rewrote
docs/README.md itself to use the new subdirectory paths and added the
one doc it was missing that CLAUDE.md's old copy had (pr-review-gate.md).
Classified all 22 docs/*.md files first via a haiku subagent (mara's
suggestion) on two axes -- proposed grouping and operator-vs-
implementation focus -- before finalizing the taxonomy; spot-checked
the report and found internal inconsistencies (its classification
table disagreed with its own summary section for a few files), so this
taxonomy is my original proposal + the one correction mara gave
directly, not a blind application of the subagent's table. The
operator-focus data it gathered is still useful for a follow-up
content pass (docs skewing 'mixed' rather than pure operator-facing),
not addressed in this PR -- structure only.
nix fmt clean, both pre-push lints clean.
Remove or fix broken documentation links that accumulate silently:
- container_view.rs: HiveEnv reference
- forge/mod.rs: READY_TIMEOUT and webhook handler links
- workers/knowledge.rs: webhook handler link
- job_queue/model.rs: Claim::deps and WireNode::data references
- stats/hive_stats.rs: read_skill_breakdown reference
- stores/audit_log.rs: global() reference
- workers/agent_sockets.rs: ambiguous agent_sockets::write reference
- coordinator.rs: systemd.services.<harness> formatting
- resource_limits.rs: ambiguous write/read references
Some broken links were to deleted functions/types; these are replaced
with prose descriptions. Others referenced items outside this crate or
were private; these are replaced with plain text references or qualified
paths as appropriate.
Fixes: #3245
argus caught these on review. `recent_transient`'s doc still pointed at
NO_NODE_LABEL, and `running_transients`' still described destroy as
having no queue node behind it and linked suppress_crash_watch -- all
three deleted in the parent commit, so the first two were broken
intra-doc links and the third was simply false.
Migration is now the only operation in that sentence.
Destroy was a straight-line async fn with no queue node behind it, so
nothing in the graph could answer "is this container going down on
purpose?". That gap is why an imperative crash-watch suppression guard
existed: an RAII handle held for the operation's duration, a second way
to say what every other lifecycle op already says through its node.
Reuse the existing Stop node rather than teaching a new node to stop
things:
Stop -> DestroyContainer -> (PurgeState) -> DestroyBookkeeping
Stop already declares takes_container_down honestly, so the suppression
is now derived from the graph like every other op's. It also turns the
precondition into an edge: DestroyContainer runs only under a completed
Stop, so it operates on an already-stopped container and carries
takes_container_down = false permanently. A container still alive at
that point is a real bug and stays loud instead of being absorbed by a
flag -- which matters because a wrong true silently swallows a crash
while a wrong false only costs a spurious event.
Removes suppress_crash_watch, CrashWatchSuppression, crash_suppressed,
crash_watch_suppressed and NO_NODE_LABEL. The migration call sites went
with the obsolete startup migrations, so destroy was the last caller and
intent now has exactly one home.
destroy() becomes a submit-and-return, matching every sibling endpoint
(rebuild, kill, restart, start, pause, resume) -- it was the only
lifecycle op that awaited its work. The container rescan moves into the
bookkeeping tail, so ContainerRemoved now arrives after the 200 rather
than before it.
Also drops an orphaned doc-comment in coordinator.rs: two stacked blocks
where only the second described crash_suppressed, the first documenting
a field that no longer exists. Removing the field would have re-pointed
it at recent_transient.
/agents/<name>/config bound the working clone a config change is staged
in, so an agent could see a proposal that was never approved -- a config
that does not govern its container. Both objects already exist; this
repoints the bind at the deployed one.
Both mounts (own + child) now resolve through config_bind_source() so
they cannot drift, and agent_proposed_dir's doc-comment is corrected:
it claimed to be manager-editable and bind-mounted, and neither is true.
Closes the #3110 split — lib.rs is now just the crate doc comment and
the pub mod list.
journal.rs's new doc comment fixes a pre-existing bug: the old
JournalPriority doc text in lib.rs was actually half Capability's doc
(a leftover from an earlier reorder that moved the code but not the
comment above it).
The deletion PR removed the types but left ~10 sites still describing
them. Two are real breakage rather than staleness: rustdoc intra-doc
links to deleted items ([NodeView::kind] and [Self::snapshot] in
job_queue/mod.rs). Neither clippy --all-targets -D warnings nor cargo
test resolves intra-doc links, so the tree was green with both already
dangling.
The rest reassert facts the deletion made false: docs/coordinator.md
documented the event as RebuildQueueChanged { seq, queue: [DagView...] }
with a per-node field list, and three sites pointed at the removed
/api/state.rebuild_queue endpoint.
One is pointer rot rather than a rename, and no grep for a deleted name
finds it: SchedulesChanged justified itself as "same snapshot-shape
rationale as RebuildQueueChanged" -- which the deletion turned into the
one event that is not a snapshot. Repointed at TombstonesChanged /
MetaInputsChanged, in both the Rust doc and the dashboard doc.
Two are pre-existing and strictly out of scope, swept under the
pfadfinderregel because the same grep surfaced them: hive-sh4re/README
advertised a jobs module that crate has not had since the host-sock
split, and hive-host-sock/README claimed its own payload types live in
hive-sh4re.
Docs and comments only -- no behaviour, no API, no test changes.
Two views of the same graph existed: the typed `DagView`/`NodeView`
(`/api/state.rebuild_queue`, the `QueueDag` socket request, and the
`RebuildQueueChanged` payload) and `hive-jobq-wire`'s generic
`GraphNode` (`/api/jobq/graph`, `QueueNodes`). Every consumer has moved
to the generic one, so the typed pair is deleted rather than kept in
agreement with it.
What that removes, beyond the types: the `QueueDag` request and
`HostResponse::dags`; `Queue::snapshot`; `dag_view`, `visible_dags`,
`shown_on_wire`, `dag_finished_at` and `containers`; and the
`rebuild_queue` field on `/api/state`. `RebuildQueueChanged` keeps its
seq and loses its payload — nothing read it, and shipping the graph
both on an event and on an endpoint is the duplication this issue is
about. It stays an event rather than becoming a poll because
push-on-change is what every other live surface here does.
Two behaviours came out simpler for a structural reason. `await_dags`
needed two rules — settled means "gone from the snapshot" *or* "present
with every node terminal" — because the typed view evicted finished
groups; the generic view doesn't, so pending is just "some node isn't
terminal". And `state_of` in the tests no longer derives a roll-up at
all: a group root's own state is the scheduler's answer.
That second one found a bug. `cancelled_dag_still_runs_its_approval
tail` asserted the group reads `Cancelled` while the tail it exists to
protect was still pending — `rollup_state` flattened the surviving
child away and called the group settled. The root reads `Finishing`,
which is what the scheduler documents: own logic done, children still
running. The test now asserts that, with the reasoning inline so it
doesn't get "fixed" back.
Kept: `Source`, `State`, `PermPayload` and the `NodeId` alias in
`hive-host-sock::jobs` — shared vocabulary, still used by hivectl.
Deletes `TransientState`, adds `transient_kind` to `TransientCleared`, and
fixes a crash misreport — three changes over the same functions.
`TransientState` was `RunningTransient` with `agent` dropped and
`takes_container_down` renamed; that rename was the only thing it did, and
its three consumers each read a disjoint subset. `transient_snapshot` now
returns `RunningTransient` directly.
`recent_transient` was keyed by agent alone and overwritten on each clear.
An agent can clear several pills in one grace window, so a `Prebuild`
(`takes_container_down = false`) landing after a `StopForUpdate` (`true`)
left the tombstone reading `false` and the crash watcher reported a
deliberate stop as a container crash. Keyed by `(agent, label)` now, with
`recent_transient_within` folding back per agent by OR — the same question
`crash_watch` asks of the active set.
`TransientCleared` gains the label for the same reason: a client holding
two open pills for one agent could not tell which one a clear referred to.
The out-of-band suppression guard has no node and so no label; it uses
`NO_NODE_LABEL`, angle-bracketed to stay out of the `NodeKind::as_str`
namespace.
Per mara on #2822: status is the only test. The agent comes off the
node's own payload rather than a declared Resource::Agent edge, so the
lease-exempt kinds (Prebuild, MetaSync) that name an agent without
holding its lease now light a pill — they are work on that agent.
Dropping that test breaks the one-pill-per-agent invariant, since
lease-exemption is exactly what lets one DAG build for an agent while
another holds its lease. Everything keyed by agent alone had to follow:
- reconcile_transients keys (agent, label) via TransientSeen, so a
second pill cannot evict the first — and cannot lose its
takes_container_down, which the crash watcher reads at clear time.
- transient_snapshot returns a Vec per agent for the same reason. The
collapse was silent: a Prebuild could evict a StopForUpdate and its
deliberate_stop, making an intentional stop report as a crash.
- crash_watch asks whether ANY running node expects the container down.
- the dashboard renders one row per node instead of one per agent.
takes_container_down never reached the frontend; no wire change needed.
315 tests pass unchanged.
Follow-up from #2955 (mara: 'make core able to give agent a todo').
First migration slice: Spawned was pure FYI-check-when-convenient
material, not something needing an immediate turn.
Coordinator::push_todo/push_todo_submitter do a best-effort live dial
of the target agent's own hive-agent-sock (hive_host_sock::agent_todo_
socket), sending the exact UpsertTodo request in-container producers
(matrix/bash/forge-notify) already send. Push, not queue: agent
offline (socket absent) or dial failure is a silent no-op, no retry,
no fallback delivery -- matches mara's 'not available if offline'
call exactly.
HelperEvent::Spawned removed entirely (enum variant + all 3 call
sites migrated: handle_spawn's two arms, finish_approval's Spawn
approval-kind arm) rather than kept alongside a translation layer --
per mara's correction on the first design attempt, migrating the
producer means deleting the old path, not bridging it.
Verified: cargo build/clippy/test -p hive-c0re -p hive-host-sock
-p hive-sh4re clean (318 tests), nix fmt clean.
The doc still described a `label`/`deliberate_stop` parameter pair
inherited from `transient_guard`, which this function replaced and whose
signature it does not share — it only takes `name`.
Rewritten to say what it does and, more usefully, what must not come
through it: the queue answers the same question from the node itself via
`NodeKind::takes_container_down`, so this path is only for the two
operations that have no node behind them yet.
mara on !2910: "also remove imperative path for the things that are not
nodes yet, file follow up issue to fix that".
`TransientGuard`, the stored map and both manual set/clear are gone.
`transient_snapshot()` is derived and nothing else — destroy and
migration show no pill, because there is no node to derive one from. The
pill returns for free when they become nodes.
What those three guards were actually doing, though, was suppressing the
crash watcher, not drawing a pill. `migrate.rs` said so in its own
comment: without it, `crash_watch` fires `ContainerCrash` for every
migrated agent and the manager tries to recover containers that were
stopped on purpose. Destroy is the same — the container disappears
deliberately and nothing in the graph says so.
Deleting them outright would therefore have traded a dashboard pill for
false crash alerts on every destroy and every migration. So the
suppression survives as its own thing, `suppress_crash_watch`, with a
name that says what it is. It is still RAII, and still held for the
operation rather than stamped once, because the crash watcher's grace
window is finite and a destroy is not — a single tombstone would expire
mid-operation. The drop stamps the tombstone, covering the poll that
lands just after.
That leaves RAII in the codebase for exactly one purpose instead of two.
Untangling the pill from the suppression is what made the transient layer
deletable at all.
Follow-up issue for making destroy + migration real queue nodes to
follow; at that point this guard goes too.
Checked with clippy (`--all-targets -D warnings`), `cargo test -p
hive-c0re -p hive-jobq` (322 + 41 passed) and `nix fmt`.
mara on !2910: "why is set_transient still a thing if it completely
derives from nodes?"
It was still a thing because the scheduler mirrored the derived set into
a stored map that every consumer read — derived state computed once and
then cached, with the reconciliation loop existing only to keep the cache
honest. `transient_snapshot()` now derives: `running_transients()` off the
live graph, with the handful of entries that have no node behind them
(destroy, migration) overlaid on top. There is no cached copy left to go
stale or disagree with what is running.
`set_transient` / `clear_transient` split by what they actually do:
`set_manual_transient` / `clear_manual_transient` own the stored map for
the no-node callers, and `emit_transient_set` / `emit_transient_cleared`
publish the edges both paths need.
Two things had to survive, and both are edges rather than state:
- The dashboard's `TransientSet` / `TransientCleared` events. The
scheduler carries the previous derived value and emits the diff.
- The crash watcher's grace window. `recent_transient_within` answers
"was a transient cleared just now?", which is what stops a deliberate
stop from reading as a crash on the next 10s poll — a derived read of
current state cannot answer it, so the clear still stamps. The
scheduler keeps `deliberate_stop` alongside the label precisely so it
is available at clear time: the node it came from is, by definition, no
longer running to be asked.
`TransientState::since` becomes wall-clock and, for derived entries, is
the node's own `started_at` — the true start of the operation rather than
the moment a watcher first noticed it, which is what the old
guard-creation timestamp actually measured.
`running_transients` returns a named `RunningTransient` rather than a
4-tuple; two of its fields are strings and one is a bool whose meaning is
not guessable at a call site.
Note for anyone reaching for a timestamp here: chrono is vendored with
`default-features = false`, so there is no `Utc::now()`. The workspace
convention is `wire_time::now_unix()` / `from_secs()`.

mara on !2910: "transient guard as well - should be removable now?" — for
the queue path, yes.
`set_transient`'s own doc explained why the RAII guard existed: a
cancelled future must not leak an imperatively-set transient and pin the
dashboard on "rebuilding…" forever. That cannot happen to a derived set.
`running_transients()` is recomputed from the graph every loop, so a node
that stops running stops appearing — there is nothing to own and nothing
to leak.
So the scheduler no longer holds a guard per pill. It keeps the previous
derived value and publishes the transitions, which is the one thing a
derived read cannot express: the dashboard wants `TransientSet` /
`TransientCleared` edges, and the crash watcher wants the *moment* a pill
cleared, since its grace window is what stops an operator stop from
reading as a crash.
That also retires a hazard rather than restating it. The old code carried
a warning that stale guards had to be dropped before new ones were
created, because `TransientGuard::drop` clears by agent with no notion of
which label it was clearing — so a same-agent label change could clear
the pill it had just set. With no guards there is no ordering to get
wrong; clears are emitted before sets so a relabel reads as
clear-then-set rather than two overlapping pills.
`set_transient` / `clear_transient` become `pub(crate)`. The guard stays
for destroy and migration, which have no node behind them and where the
cancellation concern is real.
Checked with clippy (`--all-targets -D warnings`), `cargo test -p
hive-c0re -p hive-jobq` (322 + 41 passed) and `nix fmt`.
The dashboard pill was declared once per DAG at submit time, so a rebuild
reported `rebuilding` for its entire life — through the prebuild, the
stop, the swap, the tail and the reconcile. It named the intent of the
request, not what was happening.
It is now read off the nodes actually running. A node lights a pill when
it is `Running` and declares the agent's own resource. Declaring is the
test, not targeting: `Prebuild` and `MetaSync` name an agent but are
lease-exempt on purpose (the container keeps serving), so they must not
light one. It is also not the lease *owner* — `resource_state()` answers
"who holds the slot", which is a different question from "what is
running", and a descendant that borrows an ancestor's grant never
appears in that map.
`TransientKind` is gone entirely rather than being re-derived. The label
is the node's own wire tag (`NodeKind::as_str`) — the same vocabulary
`NodeView.kind` already ships, so a pill and a DAG node name an operation
identically and there is no second taxonomy to keep in step. Work with no
node behind it (destroy, migration) supplies its own literal.
`DagSpec::transient`, `Claim::transient`, `DagMeta::transient` and
`NodeKind::Dag`'s `transient` field all go with it.
## the safety half, which is deliberately not the display half
`crash_watch::is_deliberate_stop` used to match a `TransientKind` to
decide whether a vanished container was intentional or a crash. That made
a pill's display vocabulary decide an alerting question, so renaming or
adding a label would silently move the alerting boundary.
`TransientState` now carries two independent fields: `label` (rendered,
nothing branches on it) and `deliberate_stop` (read only by the crash
watcher). The producer sets the second, because the producer is the only
thing that knows — it is not recoverable from the first.
For queue work that value is `NodeKind::takes_container_down()`, and it
is emphatically not "holds a lease": `Create` and `Start` hold the
agent's lease exactly like `Stop` does, and a container dying *while
starting* is a real crash that must keep reporting as one. The default is
`false` on purpose — a wrong `false` costs a spurious crash event, a
wrong `true` swallows a real crash silently.
## known cost, accepted on the issue
A restart no longer reads `restarting`. No `NodeKind` is unique to a
restart — `restart_chain` reuses `Signal` / `StopForUpdate` / `Drain` /
`Reconcile` — because "restart" is a property of the DAG's shape, not of
any node. A restart now reads `signal` / `stop_for_update`, then the
agent returns.
`Start` / `Stop` / `PostSwap` run inside a lease-holding ancestor and
re-declare nothing, so they light no pill and the agent reads idle for
those windows. Closing that is the resources-where-constructed work
(#2818), not this change.

mara on PR #2769: "make the default null instead of special casing """.
`claude_code_path` was a `String` whose empty value meant "no host-level
pin". That is a sentinel doing an `Option`'s job — the same shape argus
and mara already rejected on #2755's weights, and the same
empty-field cruft mara called out on #2756.
So it is `Option<String>` end to end:
- host module: `claudeCodePath` evaluates to `null` when
`claudeCodePackage` is unset, so `serve.json` carries JSON `null`
rather than `""`.
- `Coordinator` + `HiveEnv`: `Option<String>`, defaulting to `None`.
- `render_flake`/`render_flake_with_lookup`: `Option<&str>`, and the
emission is an `if let Some(path)` instead of an `is_empty()` guard.
- agent module: `hyperhive.claudeCodePath` is `nullOr str`, default
`null`.
Behaviour is unchanged in both directions; only the way "unset" is
spelled moves. The `builtins.hasContext` assertion still guards the
pinned case (short-circuited by the null check, so an unpinned hive
never evaluates it).
16/16 `meta::` tests, clippy clean, `nix fmt` no-op, `nix build .#docs`
green.
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.
Refs #2693
Encoding "not configured" as weight 0 worked (the writer omitted the
line) but the type lied: 0 is not a legal cgroup v2 weight, and every
reader had to know the sentinel. Use Option<u32> end to end instead —
wire type, priv_client, HiveEnv, drop-in writer — so "unset" is a state
of the type rather than a magic value.
The nix options become nullOr, keeping their default of 80; null now
expresses "leave the setting out of the drop-in entirely" declaratively,
which is the useful shape on a host whose IO scheduler ignores
io.weight anyway.
Backward compat is unchanged: the fields stay #[serde(default)], so a
request from an older hive-c0re deserialises to None and reproduces the
pre-weights drop-in byte for byte. The test that pins that now passes
None instead of 0.
`CPUQuota=`/`MemoryMax=` are hard caps: they throttle an agent even when
the host is idle, so they are the wrong tool for "be polite under
contention". The cgroup v2 relative shares are, and neither was wired.
Adds `services.hyperhive.{agentCpuWeight,agentIoWeight}` (1..=10000,
default 80) threaded through the existing drop-in path: HiveEnv ->
write_dropins -> WriteResourceLimits -> hyperhive-limits.conf, next to
the caps already there. Hive-wide only, as the operator scoped it on the
issue: no per-agent override, no resource-limits.json field, no
dashboard form.
The default of 80 is below the kernel's 100, so agent containers yield
to everything *not* on this drop-in path -- host services and the infra
containers (hive-ci, hive-forge, hive-gateway, hive-matrix). It does not
rank agents against each other; they all carry the same weight.
`WriteResourceLimits` gains two `#[serde(default)]` fields, and the
writer treats weight 0 as "not configured" and omits the line, so an
older hive-c0re talking to a newer hive-priv still produces the exact
pre-weights drop-in. The body is extracted into `limits_dropin_body` so
that is covered by a test rather than asserted by eye.
`Coordinator::set_paused` wrote the marker directly with `std::fs::write`
from hive-c0re, which runs as the unprivileged `hive-core` user. The
agent's harness dir is chowned to the agent user on every container boot
(`user.nix`'s activation chown), mode 0755 — so hive-core can stat the
marker but gets EACCES creating or unlinking it. Pause therefore only
ever worked on an agent that had never booted; the read side works
because a stat needs traverse, not write, which is why the paused pill
and `is_paused` looked healthy.
Route both directions through hive-priv, the root helper that already
owns the other writes into agent-owned directories:
- `PrivRequest::SetAgentPaused { agent_name, paused }`, with the marker
filename constant moved to hive-priv-sock. That is the narrowest crate
all three sides share (hive-priv deliberately does not depend on
hive-sh4re, which re-exports it for the in-container resolver). A
private copy on any one side would break pause silently, since every
reader just sees "no marker".
- `write_agent_state_file` generalised to `write_agent_dir_file`, taking
the target directory: `state/` and `harness/` are both agent-owned,
which is the same reason both need root.
- resume unlinks via `remove_file`, which acts on the leaf and never
follows a symlink — an agent could otherwise plant a link at the
marker path and have root delete an arbitrary file.
`Coordinator::set_paused` becomes an async round-trip; its three call
sites were already async. Both directions stay idempotent because the
dashboard toggle and `hivectl pause|resume` fire without reading the
current state first.
The `step` label was taken off the wire in #2661, when each deploy phase
became a first-class DAG node. Since then it has been written but never
read: `NodeRuntime` derives only `Debug, Default, Clone` — no serde — so
the field could not reach any client, and the only reads of it were the
dedup checks inside its own setters. This deletes the machinery.
Removed:
- `NodeRuntime.step`, `set_step`, `set_step_running`, and the
`rt.step = None` clear in `complete_node`. `NodeRuntime` keeps its
remaining `build_log_id` field (deliberately still a struct — collapsing
it to a bare `Option<i64>` would churn every call site for no gain).
- `Ctx::step` and its ~15 call sites in `job_queue/exec.rs`. `Ctx` itself
stays: it is the build-log sink, which `run_prebuild` and `run_swap`
still use.
- `Coordinator::set_queue_step` and its 11 callers in `actions.rs`.
- `JobQueue::running_node_of`, reachable only from `set_queue_step`.
- `swap_update`'s `on_step` parameter and its one body call.
- The `set_step_only_on_running_and_signals_change` test.
Dropping the calls orphaned parameters, which are removed with their call
sites: `ctx` on ten executors that used it only as a step sink, and
`queue_entry_id` on `run_deploy_merge_verify` / `run_deploy_apply` /
`run_finalize_deploy` plus both `coord` and `queue_entry_id` on
`prepare_applied_target`. `run_deploy_tail` KEEPS its `queue_entry_id` —
that one has a genuine surviving use (the build-log link in the failure
comment posted to the PR).
One behavioural change, called out so it is not mistaken for a dropped
dashboard refresh: `Ctx::step` and `set_queue_step` each emitted a
`rebuild_queue_changed` snapshot when the label changed, and those
emissions go away with them. This is safe — the snapshot payload has no
step field, so those pushes carried nothing a client could observe. Real
state transitions still emit from the scheduler's claim and completion
paths, from `submit`, and from the three `actions.rs` sites. Net effect is
strictly fewer redundant SSE pushes.
Docs: `docs/coordinator.md` still listed `step` as a `NodeView` wire field
and `docs/web-ui/dashboard.md` documented a cyan `↳ <step>` sub-line under
each queue row. Neither has existed since #2661 — both corrected here, plus
the `job_queue/model.rs` module doc.
Not touched: `frontend/packages/dashboard/src/system-sections.css` has a
dead `.rqe-step` rule with no JS referencing it. Left for the frontend
owner rather than deleted here.
Closes: #2664
