A replay consumer now has a 5s idle heartbeat, and the row stream ends at
the first consumer error instead of skipping it. When the server drops the
consumer, as on a restart, two missed heartbeats end the SSE response and
the browser reconnects with Last-Event-ID. Before, the response stayed
open and delivered nothing.
A Last-Event-ID above the stream's newest sequence now replays as a fresh
reader. The server accepts a start past the end and delivers nothing
until the stream reaches it, so a stale id stalled the replay.
swarm-controller's stream tests run against a real nats-server on
loopback (`test_nats`, binary from HIVE_NATS_SERVER, exported by
checks.nix and devshell.nix). They cover: ensuring the stream twice, an
existing stream with other limits being opened as it is, the replay
arriving before live rows, a reconnect getting every later row exactly
once, and a dropped consumer ending the row stream.
The limits test now compares against the subagent stream's own config.
Two comments that described the agent's terminal route as live-only are
corrected.
swarm-controller now creates `term-main-<agent>` for every live agent, in
the same one-minute pass and with the same config style as
`term-sub-<agent>` (#4897): subjects `$SWARM.term.<agent>` only, max_age
24h, max_bytes 64 MiB, discard Old, max_message_size from the queue's
max_payload. An existing stream is opened as it is. The agent keeps its
plain publish on `$SWARM.term.<agent>` and gets no JetStream subject.
`GET /api/agents/{name}/term/stream` creates an ephemeral push consumer on
that stream starting 100 rows back, so a swarm-ui terminal opens with
recent history and then follows new rows, in order, from one
subscription. Each SSE event carries the row's stream sequence as its id,
and a reconnect's Last-Event-ID resumes after it. Without the stream the
route falls back to the live core subscription it used before.
The stream is `term-main-<agent>`, not `term-<agent>`: an agent may be
named `sub-x`, whose `term-<agent>` would be agent `x`'s subagent stream.
Its one literal subject cannot match `$SWARM.term.<agent>.sub.>`, which
needs more tokens, so the two streams never overlap.
The reader gains `$JS.API.CONSUMER.CREATE.*.*.$SWARM.term.*`, the
extended create form whose last tokens are the consumer's filter. Checked
against nats-server 2.14.4, the trailing `*` also admits a literal `*` or
`>` filter, so a consumer under it reaches any terminal row, main or
subagent; those are rows the reader already subscribes to and reads with
`STREAM.MSG.GET.*`.
Closes#4826
GET /api/agents/{name}/subagents reads each subagent's newest row with
get_last_raw_message_by_subject, which publishes
$JS.API.STREAM.MSG.GET.term-sub-<agent>. The controller's NATS grant had
no STREAM.MSG.GET, so every lookup was refused and waited the 10s request
timeout, one subagent after another; six subagents passed nginx's 60s.
Grant `$JS.API.STREAM.MSG.GET.*`. A wildcard matches a whole subject
token only, so a `term-sub-*` spelling would name one stream literally;
`*` is the narrowest grant that covers the per-agent streams, the same
width as the controller's STREAM.INFO.* grant.
The lookups now run concurrently (16 at a time) with a 2s timeout each.
A lookup that fails or times out lists its subagent with a null
last_row_unix, and one warn per request names how many failed and the
first error.
swarm-controller keeps every scheduled prompt (id, name, agents, body,
anchor, interval, paused) as one document under one key of a new
`schedule-definitions` KV bucket, so each change is a single
compare-and-set and a prompt exists for all of its agents or none. It
writes each agent's key of a new `agent-schedules` bucket as the prompts
naming that agent, without names or other agents, after every change and
on a one-minute reconcile pass. It is the only writer of both, behind
GET/POST /api/schedules and PATCH/DELETE /api/schedules/{id}.
`swarmctl schedule add|list|edit|pause|resume|rm` drives those routes over
the controller socket.
An agent's own queue credential is granted one more subject, the direct
get of its own key in `agent-schedules`. A KV watch is not granted: its
consumer create subject carries no key, so it would cover every agent's.
hive-agent's new schedule ticker reads that key every 10 seconds and fires
due slots as the same `schedule:<id>` todo hive-c0re's worker pushes. Fire
times are anchor + k*interval; the last fired slot per schedule id is kept
in the state db, so a body edit or list refresh never moves or refires a
slot, downtime fires the latest missed slot once, a restart refires
nothing, a one-shot fires once, and paused slots are skipped.

The subagent list endpoint now returns {name, last_row_unix} per
subagent, the publish time of its newest terminal row, read from the
queue controller-side so agents publish nothing new. The panel sorts
newest first, shows a ticking age beside each name, and dims one quiet
for 15 minutes.
Closes#4928
swarm-controller now creates `term-sub-<agent>` for every agent a hive is
declared to run, at start and every minute after, with the config
`swarm_queue_client::subagent_term::open_or_create` spells (subjects
`$SWARM.term.<agent>.sub.>`, max_age 24h). An existing stream is opened as
it is, as the controller does for its other streams and buckets, under the
`$JS.API.STREAM.CREATE.*` grant it already holds.
The agent no longer creates the stream: its token is granted publish on
`$SWARM.term.<agent>.sub.>` and no `$JS.API.STREAM.CREATE|INFO` subject,
and the subagent daemon only publishes. A `CREATE` carries the stream's
config in its payload, which no subject grant narrows, so the agent could
otherwise pick the stream's subjects and limits.
An agent's subagent daemon publishes each subagent's output as terminal
rows on `$SWARM.term.<agent>.sub.<subagent>`, as the agent, into a
per-agent stream it creates itself; swarm-controller lists an agent's
subagents from that stream's subjects and relays one subagent's rows as
SSE; the swarm UI lists them under the agent's terminal preview and
reuses AgentTermPreview, full-screen tab included, with no input.
- swarm-nats.nix: the agent token may also publish
`$SWARM.term.{agent}.sub.>` and `$JS.API.STREAM.CREATE|INFO` on
`term-sub-{agent}`, and nothing else of JetStream. A module-eval arm
pins the agent-token grant as an exact list.
- mcp.nix: hive-subagent-daemon loads the agent's store identity
(`hive-agent-bao-cert/-key/-server-ca`, the ones hive-agent loads)
whenever the agent has a store, not only on the opencode preset. The
agent's own queue secret lives in the store, so this is the credential
the harness connects with.
- hive-subagent-mcp: `swarm_term` reads the agent's queue secret under
that identity, connects with the agent token, opens or creates
`term-sub-<agent>` (max_age 24h), and publishes classified rows from
the sink every subagent line already passes through. The sink only
queues (bounded, drop-and-count); a missing store, refused credential,
failed stream create or failed publish is a log line.
- The stream-json classifier (`stream_enrich`) and the `TermMsg` row
types plus `fit` move from the hive-agent binary into hive-sh4re, so
the subagent daemon publishes the rows AgentTermPreview already
renders. hive-agent keeps its LiveEvent classifier on top.
- swarm-controller: `GET /api/agents/{name}/subagents` and
`GET /api/agents/{name}/subagents/{subagent}/term/stream`.
- docs/swarm: what the UI shows and what the queue carries.
