Per review: docs represent current state. Every "used to" / "no longer"
clause this branch introduced is gone — including the History section in
network.md, which was a whole subsection about a sync mechanism that
doesn't exist.
Where the removed clause was carrying a real constraint, the constraint
stays and is stated in the present tense instead of as a delta: nothing
narrows what the gateway's nginx can reach except the directory
permissions in front of a socket, and nothing bounds `ReloadGatewayNginx`
except the hard-coded unit name. Those read as rules now rather than as
the story of how they came to be rules.
The gateway's nginx + dnsmasq no longer run in their own nspawn container.
`nix/host-modules/hive-gateway/default.nix` loses the
`containers.hive-gateway` wrapper and everything that existed only to punch
holes in it: `privateNetwork = false`, `CAP_NET_ADMIN`, five bind mounts,
its own `stateVersion`, `networking.firewall.enable = false`,
`networking.resolvconf.enable = false`, and the `hive-gateway-resolv`
path+service pair. 465 -> 303 lines.
The container never bought isolation here. It shared the host netns by
necessity — nginx binds the host's :80/:443, dnsmasq answers on the bridge —
so each of those settings was undoing a boundary the gateway could not
afford in the first place.
Four things made it more than a deletion, none of them visible in the nix
diff:
- The self-signed cert service also imports the hive CA leaf, so removing it
with the container would have left nginx naming a missing cert file, which
it refuses to load at all.
- The nginx reload is a hive-priv verb. It still needs root, but no longer
for the reason its doc gave, and `--machine=` was both transport and
scope — so the unit name is now hard-coded in the helper as the
containment.
- The lifecycle verb named a container that stops existing.
- `journalctl -M hive-gateway` had no machine to enter.
Per the operator's ruling, the operator verb keeps working and agents lose
it. `InfraContainer` answered three questions that used to share an answer;
it now splits into `name()` (identity), `target()` (Container vs HostUnit),
`service_unit()` (the systemd unit), and `agent_restartable()`, which the
MCP restart path checks before the capability so the refusal cannot read as
"ask for infra_admin". `SIBLING_CONTAINERS` drops the gateway — it gates the
requests that name a container as a string — while `FromStr` still accepts
it, because that answers what a name is, not who may act on it. The
dashboard's gateway journal reads host journald filtered to `nginx.service`.
Prose was corrected where it only named a location, and re-argued where the
container was doing security work: a `0666` per-agent socket was safe
because only the gateway container had the directory bind-mounted. There is
no mount now, so the directory permissions are the whole of the access
control — the constraint holds, its mechanism doesn't.
Gate: nix fmt / clippy --all-targets -D warnings / cargo test all clean (710
tests); hivectl-cli.md regenerated from the clap tree. The nix eval was run
in both TLS shapes at this commit: every delta in the rendered
virtualHosts is one of the three intended path moves, dnsmasq settings are
byte-identical, and the absence probe flips true -> false with bindMounts
emptied.
Phase 4 (repoint every container onto `meta#<n>`) and phase 5 (rename
the `root` container to `h-root`) were marker-guarded one-shots for
layouts no live hive still has: containers are rendered onto `meta#<n>`
at creation, and the `h-` prefix has been the naming for far longer than
any deployment predates. A one-shot nobody can still trigger is dead
weight, so both are gone along with `repoint_container`,
`rename_manager_container`, `CONTAINER_TIMEOUT` and the two marker paths.
Phase 6 was not obsolete, only misplaced. Ruth's tool groups are now
seeded by `ensure_root_agent` on the one path that creates her, rather
than re-asserted on every hive-c0re boot. The skip-if-already-set guard
survives the move: a destroy+recreate under the same name must not reset
an operator's chosen group set back to MANAGER_DEFAULT.
That also settles a latent bug. Phase 4's marker check was a `return`,
not a skip, so on any hive carrying the marker phases 5 and 6 never ran
at all — the tool-group backfill, whose whole job was preventing a silent
privilege downgrade, has not executed here in a long time. Moving it to
create-time removes the question rather than answering it.
What stays is convergence: three unguarded, idempotent phases that re-run
each boot and no-op once their state is right. The module doc now names
the three categories so the next person can tell which kind they're
adding.
Split the priv-socket wire types (PrivRequest/PrivResponse/PrivEvent and
friends) out of hive-sh4re into their own hive-priv-sock crate, mirroring
the existing hive-host-sock split. hive-priv — the root-privileged
helper — now depends on just this narrow protocol crate instead of the
much larger daemon-shared crate, shrinking its dependency surface and
making the privsep boundary easier to audit. No server/client
implementation lives here, only the wire contract; hive-c0re still
depends on hive-sh4re directly for everything else.
Both webhook registrations (knowledge push + config-PR pull_request) now
use the public hive domain instead of loopback:
https://<HYPERHIVE_HIVE_DOMAIN>/webhook/{knowledge,config-pr}
This routes deliveries through the gateway, bypassing the Forgejo SSRF
guard that blocked loopback delivery and silently broke the config-PR
merge flow since launch.
Changes:
- webhook_secret: new module — auto-generate + persist a 32-byte HMAC
secret to STATE_ROOT/webhook-secret on first startup; verify
X-Hub-Signature-256 on every incoming webhook POST (HMAC-SHA256).
- forge/mod.rs: ensure_config_pr_webhook now takes hive_domain +
webhook_secret; sets secret in Forgejo hook config.
- workers/knowledge.rs: ensure_webhook same update.
- dashboard/webhook.rs: both handlers read raw Bytes first, verify HMAC,
then parse JSON. Returns 401 on signature mismatch.
- dashboard/mod.rs: AppState carries webhook_secret; serve() takes it.
- main.rs: load/generate secret at startup; pass to registration tasks
+ dashboard; add 5-minute config-PR polling fallback task.
- forge/config_pr_poll.rs: new — scan agent-configs/* for open PRs with
no pending MergeConfigPr approval; queue them. Idempotent.
- stores/approvals.rs: has_pending_merge_config_pr() for poll dedup.
- nix/modules/hive-gateway.nix: remove dashboardAuth from /webhook/
location (HMAC replaces basic auth for webhook endpoints; Forgejo
cannot send HTTP Basic credentials with webhook deliveries).
- Add `priv_proto::AGENT_RUNTIME_ROOT` to hive-sh4re as the shared
single source for the per-agent runtime root path. hive-priv now
imports it instead of carrying a local const with a stale comment
that still pointed at `coordinator::AGENT_RUNTIME_ROOT` (removed in
#2285/#2367 — moved to `paths::agent_runtime_root()`).
- Add 'must stay in sync' cross-ref comments on both sides of the
privsep boundary:
· priv_proto::META_DIR ↔ paths::meta_root()
· priv_proto::AGENT_STATE_ROOT ↔ paths::AGENTS_ROOT
· priv_proto::AGENT_RUNTIME_ROOT ↔ paths::RUNTIME_ROOT + agent_runtime_root()
· paths::AGENTS_ROOT ↔ priv_proto::AGENT_STATE_ROOT
· paths::RUNTIME_ROOT ↔ priv_proto::AGENT_RUNTIME_ROOT
The dep graph prevents a shared import (hive-sh4re is a leaf; both
hive-c0re and hive-priv depend on it but not each other), so the
lockstep comments are the enforced contract.
Replace the #-number tracker references in code comments with prose
(tracker-tag lint; hive convention is prose in source). No behaviour
change. Branch-protection / collaborator / team / repo API field names
were verified against the live Forgejo swagger.
Agents must no longer create repos with their own forge token (a
write-scoped token otherwise creates + owns repos and can self-merge,
bypassing operator-only-merge). Instead:
- Set max_repo_creation=0 on every agent forge user (marker-guarded
PATCH in sync_agent; covers agents provisioned before this). Blocks
new direct creation; push/PR/clone and existing repos are untouched.
- Provision a c0re-owned 'agents' org (the namespace agent repos land
in) plus an empty 'operators' team inside it. The org owns the repos
so perms stay c0re-managed; the operator joins the team out-of-band.
- create_agent_repo() is the sanctioned path: creates the repo in the
agents org, adds the requesting agent as a *write* collaborator (not
owner), and applies branch protection that whitelists merge + required
approval to the operators team — so the author can't merge its own PR.
- is_hive_managed_namespace() guards 'internal'/'agent-configs'/'core'
against a future create surface passing an explicit owner.
No existing repos are modified. The agent/hivectl surface that invokes
create_agent_repo is a follow-up commit.
The hive Space was created empty — joining it surfaced no rooms because
Matrix doesn't auto-join a Space's children. Provision a default
"hive-chat" room on the matrix sweep, wire it bidirectionally to the
Space (m.space.child on the Space, m.space.parent on the room), and
invite @hive + every agent. The room uses a restricted join rule
allowing any Space member to join, so the operator (a Space member) can
join it from the Space hierarchy without an explicit invite.
Idempotent, mirroring ensure_hive_space: persisted chat-room-id wins,
else rediscover a non-space room named hive-chat, else createRoom. The
space-child link is re-applied each sweep (idempotent PUT) so a
recovered room reconverges its hierarchy link. Room id persisted to
matrix/chat-room-id (0600, survives destroy --purge).
