new DashboardEvent::TombstonesChanged + MetaInputsChanged carry
full snapshots (lists are tiny; snapshot beats diff for race
avoidance). Coordinator-side helpers
emit_tombstones_snapshot + emit_meta_inputs_snapshot fire from
every mutation site: actions::destroy + post_purge_tombstone +
actions::approve (spawn finalise consumes tombstone) +
run_meta_update + auto_update::rebuild_agent (lock bumps).
client adds derived stores + apply* handlers + drops the
post-submit refetch on PURG3 (container row + tombstone row)
and meta-update.
after this commit /api/state is fetched exactly once per page
session (cold load); every other change rides the SSE channel.
new DashboardEvent::ContainerStateChanged + ContainerRemoved
close the last refetch loop on the dashboard. Coordinator's
rescan_containers_and_emit diffs a fresh container_view::build_all
against a cached last_containers map and fires per-row events.
called from actions::approve (post-spawn), actions::destroy,
the lifecycle_action wrapper, auto_update::rebuild_agent, and
the existing 10s crash_watch poll.
ContainerView extracted to its own module so coordinator and
dashboard can both build it. dashboard endpoints flip to 200;
container-lifecycle forms carry data-no-refresh. client drops
the periodic poll entirely — initial cold load + SSE for
everything afterwards. pending overlay reads from the existing
transientsState since the new event payload doesn't carry it.
PURG3 + meta-update keep the post-submit refetch since
tombstones + meta_inputs aren't event-derived yet; tracked in
TODO.md.
bare set_transient/clear_transient pairs leak the in-memory transient
on task cancellation, panics, or any early return between the two
calls — dashboard then shows the agent stuck in 'rebuilding…'
forever (coder hit this today). add Coordinator::transient_guard
returning a TransientGuard whose Drop clears, and convert every
caller (dashboard lifecycle_action, auto_update::rebuild_agent,
manager_server Update, actions::destroy, actions Spawn task,
migrate phase 4). destroy() now takes &Arc<Coordinator> so it can
hold a guard. existing stuck transients clear on next hive-c0re
restart since transient state is in-memory only.
agents weren't being woken with the 'you were rebuilt — check
/state/ for notes, --continue intact' system message after
several recent rebuild surfaces:
- auto_update::rebuild_agent — used by the dashboard rebuild
button, admin-CLI rebuild via lifecycle_action, the startup
rev-scan, AND the new meta-input update batch loop. kick
moves *into* rebuild_agent's success arm so all four
paths benefit. (the dashboard's lifecycle_action extra
closure was already firing kick — now it's a no-op for the
rebuild path since rebuild_agent does it.)
- actions::run_apply_commit — apply-commit approve flow built
+ tagged deployed/<id> but never kicked. add kick on
success with the more specific 'config update applied' hint.
- server.rs::HostRequest::Rebuild — the admin-CLI direct path
calls lifecycle::rebuild bypassing rebuild_agent. add kick
on success.
dashboard's restart / start lifecycle_action extras still
kick via their own closures since they don't route through
rebuild_agent. stop / kill / destroy intentionally don't
kick — there's nothing to wake.
new section 'M3T4 1NPUTS' between approvals and message flow:
one row per input in meta/flake.lock (hyperhive first, then
agent-<n> alphabetically). each row shows the input name, the
first 12 chars of the locked sha, a relative timestamp from
locked.lastModified, and the original.url when available.
checkbox per row; submit button is disabled until at least one
box is checked; submitting confirms then POSTs the selected
names to /meta-update.
backend:
- meta::lock_update(inputs: &[String]) — runs 'nix flake update
<names>' in the meta dir, commits the lock change with a
combined message ('lock update: hyperhive, agent-coder').
preserves the existing META_LOCK serialization. existing
lock_update_for_rebuild / lock_update_hyperhive stay for
their single-input callers.
- POST /meta-update — comma-separated 'inputs' form field
(JS joins checkboxes since axum::Form doesn't natively
decode repeated keys); spawns a background task that runs
the lock update + per-agent rebuild loop. hyperhive
selection fans out to all agents; agent-<n> selection only
rebuilds <n>. each rebuild fires Rebuilt to the manager
exactly like dashboard / admin-CLI / auto-update.
rebuild loop is sequential — auto_update::run too (was
parallel via tokio::spawn). parallel rebuilds collide on
nix-store's sqlite cache ('sqlite db busy, not using cache')
and the meta META_LOCK contention. nix-daemon serializes the
heavy build steps anyway, so this isn't a throughput loss.
new NixOS module option services.hive-c0re.operatorPronouns
(free text, default 'she/her', example 'they/them'). hive-c0re
takes it as a CLI flag (--operator-pronouns, lib.escapeShellArg'd
in the systemd unit), stores it on Coordinator, threads it into
the meta flake's mkAgent so each agent's systemd service gets
HIVE_OPERATOR_PRONOUNS set. the harness reads the env at boot
and substitutes {operator_pronouns} into the agent / manager
system prompt alongside {label}. nix string is escaped against
backslash + double-quote so non-ascii / quoted values
round-trip safely. prompt addendum: both agent.md and
manager.md mention the operator's pronouns up front so claude
uses them naturally in third-person reference. propagates on
next ↻ R3BU1LD (meta lock bump, no per-agent approval).
crash_watch fires ContainerCrash whenever it sees a previously-
running container in a non-running state without a transient
flag set. dashboard rebuilds already set Rebuilding via
lifecycle_action; the two other rebuild paths didn't:
- migrate::repoint_container: phase 4 walks every container,
each nixos-container update activation briefly takes the
systemd unit down. previously fired ContainerCrash for every
agent during the migration; manager would then spuriously
call start() on agents that were already coming back up.
- auto_update::rebuild_agent: startup scan + admin-socket
caller bypass lifecycle_action.
both paths now set the Rebuilding transient around the rebuild
+ clear after. matches what dashboard does.
auto_update::run now calls meta::lock_update_hyperhive once
up-front so the per-agent rebuilds it kicks off rebuild against
the new base. lifecycle::rebuild already drives sync_agents +
lock_update_for_rebuild per agent, so the rev-marker shortcut
keeps its meaning ('we've ack'd this rev for this agent')
without further plumbing. failures of the hyperhive lock bump
log + continue — individual rebuilds will surface concrete
errors if anything's really wrong.
approval grows fetched_sha (canonical hive-c0re-vouched sha,
distinct from manager-supplied commit_ref). helperevent
{approvalresolved,spawned,rebuilt} grow optional sha + tag so
the manager can git-show the exact tree it's hearing about
(against the upcoming /agents/<n>/applied.git RO mount) and
know which terminal tag landed. all serde-defaulted; existing
construction sites pass none until the tag-driven flow lands.
