The mara: 'many agents stuck at needs login? seem to do turns fine, no
needs login on agent page. dash shows needs login tho'.
Diagnosed: hive-ag3nt::events::Bus::emit_status writes
{state_dir}/hyperhive-needs-login when status flips to needs_login_idle
and only removes it when status flips to online. But the boot flow only
emits 'online' if the harness was previously parked in wait_for_login —
the LoginState::Online branch went straight into serve() without
touching emit_status. So a sentinel written on a prior boot (e.g. a
401-triggered park) survived a healthy re-spawn, and the dashboard's
auth_failed_sentinel(name) read it as still-needing-login forever after.
Fix: add bus.emit_status('online') at the top of the LoginState::Online
boot branch in both hive-ag3nt.rs (sub-agent) and hive-m1nd.rs (manager).
Idempotent — emit_status is a one-line write/remove on a tiny empty
file; calling it for an already-clean state is a no-op.
This addresses one half of #682. The other half (claude_has_session()
may EACCES on the agent's 0700-perm ~/.claude dir post-#658 root drop)
is c0re-side and tracked separately in the issue thread for damocles.
refs #682
CountPendingReminders and ReminderRollup were hardcoded to
MANAGER_AGENT. Both now take agent: Option<String> — None keeps the
current behavior (manager's own), Some(name) returns that agent's
reminder stats. The broker functions already take an agent name, so
this is a thin wire-protocol change. Callers (web UI stats page,
post-turn counts) pass None.
Closes#122
GetLooseEnds now takes agent: Option<String>:
- None = manager's own loose ends (default; the bug fix)
- Some("*") = hive-wide view (every approval/question/reminder)
- Some("name") = that agent's loose ends
The get_loose_ends MCP tool exposes this as an optional agent arg, so
the manager can still scan the whole swarm on demand. The web UI and
post-turn counts pass None (manager's own).
the existing ctx badge was misnamed: it summed `result.usage`, which is
the cumulative tokens billed across every inference in the turn. for
tool-heavy turns that easily exceeds the model's context window (a 600k
cached prefix × 15 sub-calls = 9M cache_read), making it useless as a
"should i compact?" signal.
now two separate badges:
ctx · N last inference's prompt size = actual context window in
use right now. parsed from each `assistant` event's
`.message.usage`; the harness tracks the most recent one
across the stream and snapshots it when the `result`
event lands.
cost · M cumulative tokens billed across the whole turn (the
previous behaviour, now correctly labelled).
both update via a single `TokenUsageChanged { ctx, cost }` SSE event at
turn-end. turn_stats grows four columns (`last_input_tokens`,
`last_output_tokens`, `last_cache_read_input_tokens`,
`last_cache_creation_input_tokens`) so the cold-load seed can paint both
badges on page load. migrations run try-and-ignore ALTERs so existing
agent dbs catch up; pre-migration rows have last-inference zeros and
yield no `ctx` seed (badge stays empty until next turn) rather than a
misleading 0.
new sqlite table at /state/hyperhive-turn-stats.sqlite on each
agent's state dir. one row per claude turn captures identity
(model, wake_from, result_kind), timing (started/ended_at,
duration_ms), cost (input/output/cache_read/cache_creation token
counts), behaviour (tool_call_count + per-tool breakdown JSON),
and post-turn snapshot metrics (open_threads_count,
open_reminders_count).
wire additions:
- AgentRequest/ManagerRequest::CountPendingReminders +
Broker::count_pending_reminders_for(agent)
- Bus::observe_stream + take_tool_calls — pumps the existing
stdout stream-json, picks out tool_use blocks, accumulates per
turn. bin loops fold the breakdown into each row.
- TurnStats::open_default + TurnStatRow + record() — best-effort
inserts; failures log + don't block the harness.
both ag3nt and m1nd bins capture started_at + duration via
Instant::elapsed, fetch open-thread + reminder counts from
hive-c0re via the existing socket (post-turn, best-effort), and
record one row at turn_end. record_kind splits ok / failed /
prompt_too_long; failures carry the error message in note.
todo entries for host-side vacuum sweep + reading the table back
into agent/dashboard badges.
new LiveEvent variants on the per-agent bus —
status_changed / model_changed / token_usage_changed /
turn_state_changed — replace the per-agent web UI's
/api/state polling for the badge row.
emit sites:
- Bus::set_model → model_changed
- Bus::record_usage → token_usage_changed
- Bus::set_state → turn_state_changed
- turn::wait_for_login → status_changed("online") on creds detect
- post_login_start / post_login_cancel → status_changed("needs_login_*")
per-agent endpoints (post_set_model / post_compact / post_new_session
/ post_cancel_turn / post_login_*) now all return 200; client
drops the post-submit refetch except on login transitions, which
still need /api/state to render the OAuth form + session stream.
client adds dispatch on the four new event kinds, threads
`currentLabel` through so the composer re-enables on a live
status flip, and no longer fires refreshState() from turn_end or
postModel — the events carry the same signal faster.
closes the per-agent half of the dashboard event-channel
refactor; TODO entry dropped.
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.
