When the per-agent secret `queue-identity.nix` fetched is present, the
harness connects with `swarm-agent.<agent>.<secret>` as a static token
and publishes on `$SWARM.term.<agent>` and `$SWARM.agent-state.<agent>`.
When it is absent, or that first connect fails for any reason, a refusal
from a responder that does not verify agent tokens included, it connects
with the hive's shared OIDC client and publishes on the hive-scoped
subjects as before. Which one it took is logged once per connect.
`swarm_queue_client::connect_with_token` is the static-token connect: no
retry on the initial attempt, so the caller sees the refusal and can
fall back. Reconnects share the existing backoff, now a named function.
Closes#4630
- swarm_agent_state.rs: HEADROOM in swarm_term.rs is private, so the
intra-doc link can never resolve; switch to plain backticks.
- docs/swarm/README.md: move closing period inside the quoted phrase
per Microsoft.Quotes.

The swarm can already tell whether an agent is alive — the `agent-status`
KV bucket republishes once a minute — but not what it is doing right now.
A header bar wants the second thing, and a minute-old answer to "is this
agent thinking" is the wrong answer most of the time it is read.
`hive-agent` now publishes a turn-state header to
`$SWARM.agent-state.<hive>.<agent>`, a core subject beside the terminal
rows it already sends. It goes out **on transition, not on a timer**: the
publisher watches the event bus, rebuilds the header, and sends only when
the serialised result differs from the last one it sent — so a second
periodic writer, which is the problem this exists to fix, is not what
replaces the bucket.
The payload is the published contract a swarm-level renderer is written
against, so the test asserts on the serialised JSON keys rather than on
Rust field names. Two fields deliberately depart from the per-agent web
UI's `StateSnapshot`: `turn_state_since` is an ISO 8601 UTC string rather
than unix seconds, matching the sibling `$SWARM.term` subject's stamp, and
`agent_state` carries the swarm's own `AgentState` vocabulary rather than
a `paused` boolean, so a reader can compare actual against wanted without
translating. `turn_state` and `agent_state` stay two separate fields:
neither vocabulary contains the other's values.
Swarm-side, `GET /api/agents/{name}/state/stream` relays the subject as
SSE, resolving the agent's hive at request time exactly as the terminal
stream does and passing the bytes through without parsing them.
The broker grant is a second `--agent-publish-subject` rather than a
widening of the existing one, so the terminal family and the header family
stay independently revocable, and a `module-eval` arm pins the rendered
flag and its argument together — the doubled dollar included, since a
single one expands to nothing in `ExecStart` and yields a grant that
matches nothing.
