get_loose_ends now always returns the caller's own loose ends, for every
caller including the manager (ruth) — there is no separate manager
surface, ruth is a normal agent with different default capabilities.
- AgentGetLooseEndsArgs removed; get_loose_ends takes no args.
- Wire Request::GetLooseEnds collapses from an Option<String> target to
a unit variant.
- hive-c0re's handle_get_loose_ends drops the "*" hive-wide branch and
the subtree/capability resolver (resolve_agent_state_target); both
are gone since there is no longer a target to resolve.
- loose_ends::hive_wide and Capability::QueryAgentState removed as
dead code — their only callers were the two functions above.
- is_descendant_of is untouched (still used by lifecycle_handlers.rs
and schedules.rs independently of this change).
- Docs updated: docs/turn-loop/mcp.md, docs/web-ui/dashboard.md,
docs/process/conventions.md (Loose-ends wire shape + capabilities
table), plus the doc comments in hive-core-agent-sock, mcp_config.rs
and capabilities.rs that described the old shape.

Part of #4548 — rewriting the 353 hand-written-docs write-good.Passive
hits so #4546 can flip the rule to error. This batch: docs/networking/gateway.md
(27 hits), docs/tools/subagent.md (19), docs/web-ui/dashboard.md (18).
Minimal, meaning-preserving rewrites to active voice only — no
restructuring beyond what each flagged sentence needed. Genuine false
positives (predicate-adjective state descriptions like "is required",
"is broken", "is unchanged", adjectival past participles like "named
buckets", and one quoted literal UI string) are left in place; the
per-line reasoning is on the tracking issue.
Note: docs/tools/forge-cli.md (37 hits, would have been the single
biggest file) turned out to be generated from hive-forge's own clap
help text (see hive-forge/src/main.rs's `MarkdownDocs` verb) — same
category as the already-excluded hivectl-cli.md/swarmctl-cli.md, so
it's untouched here. Flagged on #4548.
argus caught it on PR #4557 review: 'certificateFiles reads at system
build time' hands the option itself a verb it can't perform. The
system reads the option's value at build time, not the other way
around.
Part of #4548 — third batch. This PR: docs/swarm/secrets.md (16 hits),
docs/swarm/README.md (15 hits) = 31 more of the 353 (130 total across

no vale-off silencing.
Genuine false positives left in place: predicate-adjective state
descriptions ("is required" x4, "is enabled", "is disabled"), one
systemd terminology reference ("is wanted (not required)" — literally
naming systemd's Wants=/Requires= dependency-type distinction, not
passive voice), and one design-intent idiom ("both are expected" —
same shape as earlier docs-lint work).
Part of #4548 — second batch. This PR: docs/integrations/matrix.md
(18 hits), docs/agent-lifecycle/persistence.md (17 hits) = 35 more of

Same method as the first batch (#4551): minimal, meaning-preserving
active-voice rewrites only, no restructuring beyond what each flagged
sentence needed, no vale-off silencing.
Genuine false positives left in place, with per-file reasoning in the
PR body: predicate-adjective state descriptions ("is wedged", "is
stopped", "are unrelated", "is unaffected", "is needed"), one
design-intent idiom ("was meant to prevent" — same shape as earlier
docs-lint work), and one vale parsing artifact: "is read" flagged
inside the hyphenated compound adjective "read-only", not real passive
voice at all.
Puts the default on #[arg(long, default_value = "origin")] instead of
duplicating unwrap_or("origin") at both call sites (REST/--push path
and agit_create). clap now renders the default in --help itself, so
the hand-written doc-comment default is dropped in favor of it.
Regenerated docs/tools/forge-cli.md to match.
Fix wording flagged on #4521 review: "Single nginx in front of every
hyperhive web surface" and "Runs on the host" claimed a deployment-wide
topology. There's one nginx per host that has something on it, and
potentially more inside service containers. Reword to describe what
this module builds on this host, with no count claim swarm-wide.
`services.hyperhive.gateway.enable`, `gateway.dns.enable` and
`network.enable` replace the `hyperhive.enable` gate on all three. Each
defaults to false; the modules that need one assert it with `mkDefault
true` from inside the guard their own deployment already carries, and
`swarm-required-services.nix` — the module that owns what the
swarm-services toggle implies — asserts all three explicitly.
hive-c0re asserts all three unconditionally, so an ordinary hive keeps
getting them with no opt-in: it is the host's only knowledge that agent
containers exist.
The resolver moves to its own `hive-gateway/dns.nix` so it can be gated
without reindenting the nginx half of the module.
Reinstates `network.enable`, dropping its `mkRemovedOptionModule` shim.
A config still carrying `network.enable = false` from before the removal
now switches the bridge off instead of failing eval.
Also deletes a duplicate `centralToggleOff` fixture in nix/module-eval.nix.
Two sibling slices added it independently (c5f60fd5, ce3b3d94); the merge
was textually clean and left `main` failing to evaluate at all, so this
file could not be gated without removing one.
Container lifecycle from inside an agent goes away: an agent no longer
starts, stops, restarts or rebuilds a container in its subtree, and no
longer reads another container's journal. Those are operator actions —
the dashboard and hivectl keep their own paths to the same job-queue
and hive-priv plumbing, which is why none of that machinery is removed
here, only the five MCP verbs and what they alone reached.
What went with them: the `Request` variants and `Response::Logs` on the
agent socket, the five tool definitions and their arg structs, the four
lifecycle handlers plus `handle_get_logs`, and `require_descendant` —
the topology guard those five were the only remaining callers of.
`ToolGroup::Diagnostics` goes too: `get_logs` was its only tool, so it
would otherwise be a grantable group that grants nothing. `lifecycle`
stays, now carrying `list_containers` alone.
An agent that gets a `needs_update` or `container_crash` helper event
has no remedy of its own left, so the system prompt and the docs now
send it to the operator instead of to a tool that no longer exists.
Refs #4480
`swarm-controller` mints an agent's mTLS leaf at creation and publishes it
at `swarm/agents/<agent>/bao-mtls`. Nothing read it back. This adds the
hop that carries it the rest of the way, and the in-container consumer
that proves the hop works.
Host side, `lifecycle::agent_identity` reads the row under *this hive's*
own certificate — the hive is a principal the store already knows — and
stages the leaf and its key `0600` under a new `agent-identity/<name>`
state dir, deliberately outside every bind-mounted tree. Both files go in
as systemd credentials rather than binds, the same answer and the same
mode reason as the queue secret beside it: the staged key is unreadable
to the unprivileged agent user, and the container manager reads a
`--load-credential` source as root before re-exposing it under the
consuming unit's own `User=`. The agent is never asked to authenticate in
order to obtain the thing it authenticates with.
Container side, `hive-agent-bao-identity.service` logs in with that
certificate and reads the agent's own path back, failing the unit when
either step does not succeed. It fails loudly where the hive-side readers
degrade quietly, because a refused certificate means an agent that
believes it reaches the store and never does — a cause only the login
itself can name.
The address is the whole switch, no separate `enable`, matching how
`queue.nix` and `logs.nix` already gate themselves. A hive with a store
forwards `HIVE_AGENT_BAO_ADDR` and every agent on it gets the check; a
hive without one forwards nothing and no agent does. That is what keeps
the delivery from landing in a container with nothing to read it.
The hive can now reach an agent's identity, so hive privilege covers
agent privilege. Accepted, not mitigated: the alternative is an agent
fetching its own credential with a credential it does not yet have.

pr-create/pr-status/etc no longer parse -- clap deleted them along
with the renamed() helper. The remaining flat verbs (view, comment,
close, ...) are #[command(hide = true)] in clap; documenting a
deliberately hidden set as a group defeats the point of hiding it.
The examples further down that demonstrate individual hidden verbs
are unaffected.
Refs #4509
`swarm/agents/<agent>/bao-mtls` did not exist, and neither did any
per-agent identity at the secret store: `policy::agent_object_name`,
`render_agent` and `render_agent_with_queue` had been written and never
called outside their own tests. An agent's only "per-agent" secret today
is read under the HIVE's certificate, through a wide grant on
`swarm/agents/*` — so "per-agent" was presentational.
The swarm now mints the certificate, so no hive ever needs the capability
to mint one. `swarm-controller` is the service that does it: it already
logs in to the store, and its existing grant already covers exactly the
three objects written here (`create/update` on
`secret/data/swarm/agents/*`, `sys/policies/acl/hive-*` and
`auth/cert/certs/hive-*`). No new bao grant, and nothing co-located — a
cert-auth role pins its authority by value, per role, so the controller
issues from its own CA on its own host and pins that CA in the role it
writes. No existing role changes.
The mint node does not report success on a write. After publishing it
connects again, with the leaf it just issued and under the role it just
wrote, and reads the path back — so the policy, the role, the common name
and the leaf are exercised in production on every agent creation. A
certificate this code mints that the role this code writes will not accept
turns the job node red at creation time instead of surfacing later as an
agent container that cannot start.
`TriggerDeploy` gains an `after_any` edge on the mint, not `after_ok`: a
hive cannot pass down a certificate the swarm has not published, but a
host with no authority configured must still create agents exactly as it
does today.
The private key is generated in memory and never written to disk on the
controller — `SecretStore::connect_with_identity` takes the PEM the minter
is already holding, so nothing is written out purely to be logged in with.
Refs #4137
`services.hyperhive.agent.matrix.enable` was a second source of truth for
a fact the account set already carried: after ①-③ the hive-internal
`main` account is an ordinary `matrixAccounts` entry, so "does this agent
have matrix" and "does this agent have an account" were the same question
asked twice, with the boolean able to disagree.
The option is gone and a non-empty `matrixAccounts` now gates the daemon
unit, its token path-watcher and the injected `extraMcpServers.matrix`
entry.
That is only a real condition because `matrixAccounts.main` is itself
gated: it is declared when `matrix.url != null`, never unconditionally. A
`main` with no homeserver is an account the daemon can never log in as,
so declaring one always would have made the signal trivially true and
turned matrix on for every agent in every hive. With the URL gate, the
empty set is reachable exactly for an agent the hive gave no homeserver
and whose operator declared no account of its own — the state the old
`enable = false` expressed.
Assertions: "extras require enable" is deleted, having become the
definition of the thing it checked (an external-only account with its own
homeserver is now rendered rather than rejected). `main.tokenFile` stays
pinned, re-guarded on `? main` instead of on the flag, since `main` is
absent whenever the URL is null and an unguarded index would throw there.
Both spellings of the option get `mkRemovedOptionModule`, following
../host-modules/deploy.nix's registrationTokenFile pair rather than a
silent delete: the definition whose meaning changes is `false`, and left
undeclared it would be ignored and hand the agent the tools its operator
turned off. Failing the eval with the replacement spelling is the only
outcome that cannot.
module-eval gains the three arms — URL, nothing, external-only — with the
middle one carrying why it exists: it is the only thing in the suite that
would notice `main` becoming unconditional again.
Refs #4475
`matrixAccounts` is meant to be the agent's full account list, but the
hive-internal `main` account was outside it: the nix module emitted only
the extras and `hive-matrix-daemon` prepended a `main` it synthesized
from the per-agent paths, with the option schema forbidding the name
outright.
nix/agent-modules/matrix.nix now declares `main` itself, as an ordinary
entry under `matrix.enable`, from the state-dir paths the module already
used for its token path-watcher (now a shared `stateDir` binding) plus
`matrix.url`. The whole set, `main` included, is serialized to
HIVE_MATRIX_ACCOUNTS.
accounts::configured therefore synthesizes `main` only when the parsed
list carries none, and otherwise takes the declared one verbatim —
hoisting it to index 0, since the daemon reads index 0 as the primary
and nix serializes an attrset, so `main` sorts wherever its key falls.
Declared xor synthesized: an agent whose harness predates this entry
keeps working, a current one gets its own, and there is no arrangement
where `main` is duplicated or missing.
The reserved-name assertion is replaced rather than dropped: the name
must now be legal (the module uses it), but `main`'s tokenFile stays
pinned to `<state>/matrix-token`, since hive-c0re provisions the
hive-internal token there and nowhere else — a retarget would evaluate
fine and then never restore. The other two fields are mkDefault and free
to override.
Refs #4475
Line 26's list named two identity kinds; mara flagged it as
should-be-three and the third went unnamed. A hive holds its own mTLS
leaf (glue-bao-tls.nix:130-131, CN = hiveName from :49) and logs in
with it (glue-queue-agent-credential.nix:171, bao login
-method=cert); swarm-bao.nix mints matching cert-auth roles for it
alongside swarm-controller (:1049-1052) and swarm-secret-publisher
(:1101-1104), and swarm-controller/src/read_policy.rs:184-188 writes
the per-hive role dynamically. The table further down this page
already lists a hive as a reader (swarm/hives/<hive>/matrix/appservice-token),
so the line-26 list was inconsistent with the rest of the page.
The committed doc was stale (missing help text under --limit/--format
that the binary's clap-markdown output now includes). Regenerated with
the documented command. While at it: docs/tools/swarm-logs-cli.md was
never added to .prettierignore alongside its three siblings, so nix fmt
silently reformatted it back to a stale layout right after
regeneration — the exact failure mode .prettierignore's own comment
warns about. Added it so the *-docs-fresh check in nix/checks.nix stays
satisfiable.
An agent can reach VictoriaLogs only through the gateway, and since the
machine query route landed the way to read it has been to hand-roll a
client_credentials token request and a curl, per query. This is the CLI
that closes that: `swarm-logs query '<LogsQL>'`, matched log lines on
stdout, so the answer pipes into grep like any other command's.
Built to the plan posted on the tracker thread: own crate, own
docs/tools reference generated off the clap tree, `query` as the one
verb, and the JSON error body surfaced on a non-200 rather than
swallowed. No `tail`: streaming is a different endpoint with a different
response shape, and folding it in here would be a fatter scope than the
ask.
Minting the token is NOT implemented here — swarm-queue-client already
owns the client_credentials request, its error type and its CA handling,
and a token-endpoint fix has to be findable in one place. What this crate
adds is the agent-shaped half: the client id arrives as a *file* beside
the secret, so nothing outside nix/agent-modules/queue.nix spells
`hive-<name>-agent` twice. That is the same problem hive-agent's
swarm_queue module solves, and swarm-logs/src/auth.rs is its `decide`
restated over this binary's inputs.
⚠️ The plan named one thing to verify empirically before calling the auth
settled: whether authelia's bearer policy for the logs vhost accepts the
agent client's audience. Measured from inside a container: it does not.
The client minted a token fine but with `aud: []` and `scp: []`, asking
for the logs URL as an audience answered `invalid_target`, and presenting
the audience-less token to the gateway answered a bare 401. So
swarm-authelia.nix's agentClients gains `authelia.bearer.authz` and the
query URL as a second audience — authelia authorises a bearer token by
the URL being requested, and that URL is now one binding read by three
places rather than three spellings of one address.
The URL reaches an agent the same way its queue coordinates do: computed
on the host (a container cannot derive a gateway address), forwarded by
hive_c0re::meta into the container's option set, and consumed by a new
agent module that installs the binary *wrapped* with its coordinates —
the shape swarm-controller.nix installs swarmctl in. Gated on the queue
credential as well as on the URL: a binary that can only answer 401 is
worse than no binary, because an agent reads a 401 as "no logs", which is
the exact confusion the store's machine route was added to end.
The rewrite in #4445 flattened this section's new-functionality-vs-
existing-functionality split into unconditional rules, because it had
been anchored to the current-state table that PR deleted. Restore the
split on its own terms, per #4445's own description of the rule: new
functionality has to match the target shape immediately; existing
functionality can move step by step, provided each step moves toward
the target shape.
Refs #4445
Two lines still framed the invariant as one file total: line 19 ('plus
exactly one file') and line 21 ('the only credential on disk') implied
a single mTLS cert page-wide, contradicting the earlier fix that made
line 26 say 'every host has at least one'. Agents and swarm-level
services each need their own identity certificate, so a host running
several holds several. Restate both as per-identity, keep the target
shape (store + certs on disk, nothing else) unchanged.
Also relax the touching-a-credential rule: moving a secret into bao
without resolving its renewal strategy in the same change is
acceptable while the migration to this shape is in progress, provided
a follow-up issue is opened to settle renewal.
Refs #4445
The citation for the nix option description was 529-531, but the quoted
phrase 'A path, never a value.' appears on line 533. The correct range
529-533 includes both the 'operator places by hand' claim and the
'path, never a value' assertion that the doc attributes to that file.
Refs #4445
Drop the current-state table and the prose describing how the swarm
currently breaks the target (unrotated secrets persisted to disk outside
the store, no agent store identity, the appservice token's second
minter). Scope the path-never-value rule to the mTLS client certificate
— the one credential a nix option can carry, now that everything else
goes through bao. Trim the migration checklist to unconditional rules
for any credential-touching change, since there's no current-state table
left for the old existing-functionality carve-outs to reference.
