The poller was a `tokio::spawn` inside the `hive-agent` serve loop. It
never needed anything from that loop except a socket path, so being
in-process bought nothing and cost two things: a harness restart took
forge notifications down with it, and the whole forge/HTTP dependency
tree was linked into the serve-loop binary.
It is now `hive-forge-notify`, a per-agent daemon with its own systemd
unit, a sibling of `hive-bash-daemon` and `hive-matrix-daemon`. Same
contract as those two: it reaches the harness only by upserting todos on
the in-agent socket, and nowhere else.
The module moves verbatim (`notify.rs`) — the formatters, the activation
gates, the dedupe map and all 33 tests are unchanged. Only the socket
call sites are rewritten, onto a small local `todo_client` rather than
the harness's. That mirrors what both sibling daemons already do, and
the etiquette differs on purpose: the harness's client carries a 60s
backoff schedule sized to ride out a hive-c0re restart, which its
callers need because they have no retry of their own. This poller's two
call sites both sit inside the 30s poll loop and both treat a failure as
"leave the thread unread, try next tick", so the poll interval already
is the retry; a second backoff would only stack sleeps and delay the
rest of the batch.
The unit is `Restart=on-failure`, not `always`. An agent with no forge
account is a supported configuration and the poller reports it by
logging why and exiting 0 — under `always` that clean exit would be a
restart loop on every forge-less agent.
`forgejo-api`, `url` and `time` drop out of `hive-agent`'s dependencies
with the module.
Also corrects docs that outlived the code they described: the persisted
`forge_cursor` field is long gone (forge's own read-state is the durable
record of what has been delivered), but `docs/persistence.md` and the
`harness_state` module docs still documented it as live.
New crate hive-screen-mcp: a stdio MCP bridge activated automatically
when an agent has hyperhive.gui.enable = true. Provides five tools:
- screenshot — grim → saves PNG, returns path for Read tool
- type_text — wtype → Unicode text input (no daemon)
- key_press — ydotool key → combos like ctrl+c, super+l
- mouse_move — ydotool mousemove --absolute
- mouse_click — ydotool click, optionally with prior move
New nix/agent-modules/screen.nix: wires the MCP bridge into
extraMcpServers.screen; adds grim + wtype to systemPackages. Adds
hyperhive.gui.screenInput option (default false) which enables the
ydotoold daemon + ydotool for mouse/keyboard injection via /dev/uinput.
screenshot and type_text work without screenInput. key_press,
mouse_move, and mouse_click return a ydotool error until ydotoold is
running and /dev/uinput is accessible in the container.
