Claude Code (>= 2.1.277) and opencode both read AGENTS.md, but Claude
Code reads it only when no CLAUDE.md exists in its cwd or above. So
this is a plain rename with no CLAUDE.md stub left behind.
- hive-agent/src/agents_md_migrate.rs: new. At harness start, before
the first turn, renames state/CLAUDE.md to state/AGENTS.md when only
the former exists; logs an error naming both paths when both exist
and touches neither; does nothing otherwise. Idempotent.
- hive-agent/src/main.rs: calls it in serve_main; checkpoint prompt
and a comment name AGENTS.md.
- hive-agent/src/claude_md_watch.rs: the size watch reads AGENTS.md;
todo text, doc comments and tests follow. Module name, todo
subsystem key ("claude_md") and metric name
(hyperhive.agent.claude_md.lines) are unchanged so existing todo
rows and dashboard history carry over.
- hive-agent/src/turn.rs, hive-agent/prompts/system.md: prompts tell
the agent its file is AGENTS.md.
- hive-agent/src/{otel_turn_metrics,stats}.rs,
frontend/packages/agent/src/stats.js, hive-subagent-mcp/src/*.rs:
comments and a tool parameter description naming the agent's file.
- nix/host-modules/swarm-grafana/dashboards/agents.json: panel title
and description.
- claude-plugins skills claude-subagents, state-hygiene: they mean the
agent's own state file.
- CLAUDE.md -> AGENTS.md at the repo root; docs/crates/README.md link
(checked by check-doc-refs.sh), hive-c0re/README.md,
.prettierignore and the nix/sources.nix comment follow.
- docs/: every prose mention of the agent's file; persistence.md
documents the boot-time rename, claude-invocation.md the shadowing.
Fixes#5509
The hive reads the agent-archetype key when it provisions and rebuilds an
agent and keeps it in swarm-agent-archetypes.json. For an archetype agent
the meta flake has no agent-<name> input and mkAgent imports
hyperhive.hyperhiveArchetypes.<name>.module; provisioning, rebuilds, the
meta-input cascade, a deploy's rev and the startup migration skip the
config repos. The harness gets HIVE_ARCHETYPE and the system prompt says
the agent has no config repo. The create form sends the picked archetype.
Adds the android-dev built-in.
Refs #5386
These three are per-host choices that hive-c0re reads and renders into
its agents, so they belong under the hive controller's deploy namespace
rather than swarm-wide:
- c0re.dashboardPort -> deploy.hive-controller.dashboardPort
- c0re.claudeCodePackage -> deploy.hive-controller.claudeCodePackage
(the claude-login and review-classifier containers on the same host
keep following it)
- otel.extraResourceAttributes -> deploy.hive-controller.otel.extraResourceAttributes
The old paths stay as mkRenamedOptionModule aliases, now in deploy.nix
with the namespace's other renames. github.enable and the collector port
stay swarm-wide.
Five host options whose values hive-c0re renders into every agent's
build move under services.hyperhive.swarm, so the swarm states each of
them once instead of every hive carrying its own copy:
c0re.dashboardPort -> swarm.dashboardPort
c0re.claudeCodePackage -> swarm.claudeCodePackage
github.enable -> swarm.github.enable
otel.collector.port -> swarm.hiveOtel.collectorPort
otel.extraResourceAttributes -> swarm.hiveOtel.extraResourceAttributes
Every old path is a mkRenamedOptionModule alias, so a host that sets one
keeps its value and gets an eval warning naming the new path. Types and
defaults are unchanged, so the rendered meta flake, serve.json and
hive-c0re's environment are the same as before on a host that sets
none of them.
The readers move with them: serve.json and its gc-root assertion, the
hive-c0re environment, the hive collector's listen address and bridge
port, the swarm collector's port-collision assertion, and the
claude-login and review-classifier containers' claude pin. The
swarm-services-switch fixture sets the swarm path and now also checks
that serve.json carries the pinned claude.
Part of #4857 (slice 2).
The agent read the operator-profiles bucket with a keys() listing, an
ordered consumer whose grant (STREAM.INFO, CONSUMER.CREATE) and flow-control
reply had never run against a permissioned queue. The controller now writes
the whole list as one JSON array under one key, only when it changed, and
the agent reads it with one DIRECT.GET the way agent_inference::read_own
reads its key. The agent grant shrinks to that one subject.
swarm-controller reads each member of authelia's operator group's forge
profile every five minutes and keeps one key per operator in the new
operator-profiles bucket. Every agent may list and read that bucket, and
hive-agent renders it into the system prompt at harness start, falling
back to today's prompt when the bucket is empty or doesn't answer within
five seconds.
Fixes#5383
Delete nix/templates/ruth.nix, the ruth nixosConfiguration, module and
toplevel, the hive-c0re managerToplevel option, and the meta flake's
isManager switch with lifecycle::MANAGER_NAME. Every agent, ruth
included, now builds from nix/templates/agent.nix. The template's only
content beyond agent.nix was docs.enable = mkDefault true; docs.enable
is off by default for every agent and ruth's own agent.nix turns it on.
Refs #5377
Not every swarm's operator is she/her. The prompt now names no pronouns
and tells agents to say "the operator"; pronouns will come from a
per-operator profile setting. The operatorPronouns removal warning and
claude-invocation.md say the same.
Both options are now ignored with a warning (the swarm-peers-removed.nix
shape), so a host that still sets one keeps evaluating.
- operatorPronouns: the agents' system prompt names the pronouns as
she/her, the value the harness fell back to and the option's default.
The --operator-pronouns flag, HiveEnv field, meta-flake let binding
and HIVE_OPERATOR_PRONOUNS env var are gone.
- contextWindowTokens: the per-family defaults (haiku 200000, sonnet
1000000, opus 1000000) move into hive-agent's harness_state as a
table; the window the API reports after a turn still wins. The
--context-window-tokens flag, HiveEnv field and the rendered
HIVE_CONTEXT_WINDOW_TOKENS_<KEY> env vars are gone.
the manager socket no longer exists; ruth's socket is the per-agent one. Fixes the wire-type crate docs, hive-sh4re manager.rs header and README, and two other mentions.
vale's write-good.Passive and Microsoft.Contractions rules (error level)
flagged 'is killed', 'is capped' and 'has not'. Same bounds stated: 2
minutes per call, 4 minutes for the sequence.
The calls run serially before the web UI is served, so a per-call deadline
alone left N x 2 min of boot delay (8 min with the default two
marketplaces and two plugins, 10 with auto-update) when the fetch path is
blackholed. One shared 4 minute budget now bounds the sequence: each call
gets min(2 min, what is left), and calls after the budget is spent fail at
once with the same warning.
Chosen over spawning the install: boot keeps installing plugins before the
first turn, as today, and the diff is one Instant threaded through the three
call sites. docs/turn-loop/config.md states the 2 minute and 4 minute bounds.
mara on #5170: "dont split caps and perms. its all perms. / dont include
the now empty tool groups / nothing set -> default / also add perms to
agent creation screen".
- hive-sh4re: one `Permission` enum (messaging, meta, inbox, execution,
web_tools, manage_root_agent) replaces `ToolGroup` and `Capability`;
`lifecycle`/`forge` are gone. `Permission::default_for` is the default
for an agent the swarm sets nothing for.
- The record is `{ "permissions": [...] }`. Missing key, unset field or
no successful read yet = default; `[]` = none; a failed read after a
good one keeps the last value.
- hive-agent reads its own key every 10s and builds each turn's --tools,
--allowedTools and MCP config (rewritten before every turn) from it;
the subagent daemon reads it on each start/continue. Agents get a
read-only grant on their own key.
- hive-c0re restarts an agent only when its manage_root_agent changes.
The import now merges meta/capabilities.json and meta/tool-groups.json
into one list per agent and deletes both; the "import pending, don't
read" decision is `ImportOutcome::read_allowed`, table-tested.
- swarm-controller: `GET /api/permissions` (names + default) and an
optional `permissions` on `POST /api/agents`, stored before the job is
queued. swarm-ui's create-agent form gets a permissions field.
- Deleted: HIVE_TOOL_GROUPS and its forward to the subagent daemon,
tool_groups.rs, ruth's tool-group seed, the permissions rebuild job
(PermPayload/WritePermFile/perm_change), the dashboard permissions tab
and its stale-entries panel.
Part of #5170.
Part of #5081 (slice S0-1a). An agent's closure no longer depends on the
name or domain of the hive that renders it.
- hive-priv writes /etc/hyperhive-hive-facts (HYPERHIVE_HIVE_NAME,
HYPERHIVE_HIVE_DOMAIN) into the container from the same WriteNspawnFlags
call that writes /etc/hyperhive-bridge-dns. hive-c0re passes the values
from its own unit env. hive-priv refuses a value outside [A-Za-z0-9._-].
- A systemd environment generator in the agent (hive-facts.nix) loads the
file into the container manager's environment, so every unit sees it,
as with the systemd.globalEnvironment entries the render used to emit.
It also builds CLAUDE_REMOTE_CONTROL_SESSION_NAME_PREFIX
(<hive>-<agent>), which left claude's managed settings.
- meta.rs stops forwarding HYPERHIVE_HIVE_{NAME,DOMAIN} and stops setting
services.hyperhive.agent.hiveName. The option is removed (both
spellings now fail with a removal message).
- otel.nix drops the agent's hive= resource label. The swarm collector
upserts hive per authenticated receiver (swarm-otel.nix resource/<h>,
on both the metrics and logs pipelines), so stored series keep it.
The otel first hop, otel enable and the dashboard port are still baked;
they are S0-1b.
An agent with no matrix account has no `mcp__matrix__*` tools, so a
refusal that only says "use the matrix MCP tools" points it at something
it cannot call. `OPERATOR_SEND_REFUSAL` now names matrix for an agent
that has it, and tells one without it that there is no direct channel:
the operator reads its `set_status` line, its turn output on the
dashboard, and its logs. The allow-list refusal, the `send` tool
description, the MCP server instructions and the system prompt say
"over matrix if you have it" to match, and the helper-event bullets go
back to "ask the operator" without naming a channel.
Agents reach the operator over matrix now (#5115). A `send` to
`operator` is refused, by the broker and by the MCP allow-list check,
with an error that names the matrix MCP tools. The dashboard's Y3R C4LL
tab goes with it: the operator inbox, `GET /api/operator-inbox`,
`Broker::unread_for_recipient`, and the browser notifications that only
ever fired on operator-bound messages.
The harness no longer posts turn failures and plugin-install failures
to the operator inbox. Both are already logged at warn; a new Grafana
rule, `hh-agent-turn-failed`, fires per agent on the harness's
`turn failed` line.
Dashboard-to-agent messaging (op-send, the agent web UI's message box,
mark-all-read for agent inboxes) is unchanged.
Decisions per mara on #5115: q1 a, q2 a plus a grafana alert, q3 keep
dashboard-to-agent messaging and leave swarm-level code alone.
hive-claude 0.1.4 (hive-claude #28) sends the idle watchdog's signal as
SIGINT to claude's process group instead of SIGKILL. It then waits for
claude to exit, with no SIGKILL fallback. claude stops the commands its
Bash tool started when it shuts down on SIGINT, and a SIGKILL left them
running. This is the last SIGKILL of a claude process from #4999.
hive-agent's `idle_timeout` -> `Error::IdleTimeout` -> `TurnError::ApiStall`
path is unchanged. The difference is that the error now arrives only
once claude has exited. A claude that ignores the SIGINT keeps the turn
open until it is killed by hand or the unit stops.
The Cargo.lock change is only hive-claude's version and checksum. A plain
`cargo update -p hive-claude --precise 0.1.4` also moved seven crates'
Windows-only `windows-sys` edges from 0.61.2 to 0.52.0, unrelated to this
bump. The minimal lock passes `--locked`.
The turn-loop and web-UI docs, and hive-agent's watchdog docs and stall
note, now say SIGINT instead of "killed". That includes the ACP spots
that the previous commit's `Drop` change made stale.
mara on #5034: "effort shares /models fate". The per-agent web UI no
longer sets effort: the `/effort` slash command, the effort picker,
`POST /api/effort`, `Bus::set_effort`, the `hyperhive-effort` writer,
`EFFORT_LEVELS`/`is_valid_effort` and the ACP effort-list payload are
gone, and `lib/modelEffort.ts` with them. The effort chip is
display-only and shows its source (`effort_source` in `/api/state`);
on ACP it stays hidden while the session offers no effort level.
The read side is unchanged: with no swarm value an agent runs an
existing `hyperhive-effort` file, else its agent.nix effort, else
medium. Existing files are not touched.
Refs #5034
The per-agent web UI no longer sets the model: the `/model` slash
command, the model picker, `POST /api/model`, `Bus::set_model` and the
`hyperhive-model` writer are gone. The model chip is display-only and
shows where the model comes from (`model_source` in `/api/state`). The
model is set on the swarm (swarm UI agents page, `swarmctl agent
inference set`).
The read side is unchanged: with no swarm value an agent runs its
agent.nix model, else an existing `hyperhive-model` file, else haiku.
Existing files are not touched.
With the picker gone, its model list goes too: `available_models` in
`/api/state`, the ACP model-list filter, and the harness's global
`HIVE_AVAILABLE_MODELS`. The subagent daemon keeps its own
`HIVE_AVAILABLE_MODELS` from mcp.nix, and the `availableModels`
assertion stays.
`/effort` (command, picker, route, file) is unchanged.
Refs #5034
A claude agent with useApiKey gets ANTHROPIC_API_KEY through
backendEnvironmentFile, but only the harness unit loaded that file;
hive-subagent-daemon loaded it for ACP agents alone. The daemon's nested
claude inherits the daemon's environment (hive-claude adds to it, never
clears it), and an api-key agent has no OAuth session in ~/.claude, so
its claude subagents started with no credentials.
hive-subagent-daemon now loads backendEnvironmentFile when the agent is
ACP (unchanged) or has useApiKey set. Module-eval covers the api-key
claude arm; the existing claude arm (file set, useApiKey unset) still
asserts no EnvironmentFile.
Closes#5088
swarm-controller keeps each agent's inference settings in a new
`agent-inference` KV bucket, one key per agent, and is its only writer
(`GET`/`PUT`/`DELETE /api/agents/{name}/inference`; `swarmctl agent
inference get|set|clear`). Every field is optional. Each agent reads its
own key every 10 s through a direct-get grant on that key alone, and a
set `model` or `effort` replaces the Bus value, so the next turn runs on
it and the badge follows.
The swarm value is applied without persisting it: `Bus::set_model` and
`set_effort` are split into a persisting setter and a non-persisting
`apply_*`, and the poller uses the latter. Otherwise the swarm value
would overwrite `hyperhive-model`/`hyperhive-effort`, and clearing it, or
a restart, would no longer find the agent's own value. An unset field
changes nothing; a field cleared after being applied goes back to the
local value (`harness_state::local_model`/`local_effort`, the same
resolution `Bus::new` uses), read again at the clear.
`subagent_models` is validated, stored and shown by `get`; no agent
applies it yet.
Refs #5034
config-changes.md (was approvals.md) describes config PRs, the meta flake
and helper events; the approval queue, its kinds, the withdraw path, the
job-queue dispatch and ApprovalResolved go. Every other page drops the
approvals table, endpoints, event, tool group, hivectl verbs, dashboard
section and the loose-end/cancel kind, and links to the renamed page.
Docs (review on #4948): the harness's restart settings are not useful to
a reader, so the `Restart`/`RestartSec` bullet in docs/turn-loop and the
"30 seconds later, no start limit" wording in docs/swarm are removed.
What stays is the behaviour: the harness exits and comes back until the
queue accepts it.
Grant: with the harness's shared-client fallback gone, nothing presents
the hive's shared agent client (`hive-<hive>-agent`) to the queue;
swarm-logs uses that OIDC client over HTTP only. swarm-nats-auth now
refuses it outright instead of granting the configured
`$SWARM.term.{hive}.>` / `$SWARM.agent-state.{hive}.>` publish and its
`_INBOX.client.<id>.>` subscribe, so an agent holding it can no longer
publish as a sibling. The agent arm still runs before the hive arm, so
that id never falls through to its hive's grant.
Removed with it: the `--agent-publish-subject` flag and its two uses in
swarm-nats.nix, `Policy`'s agent subject list, and
swarm-queue-client's `client_inbox_prefix`. The module-eval now asserts
the flag is absent; the policy tests assert the refusal and that the
hive itself is still admitted.
Drops docs/tools/scheduling.md and every description of hive-level
schedule creation, the worker, the removed MCP tools, the scheduling tool
group and the removed endpoints/events, pointing at docs/swarm/schedules.md.
Rewrites the config-change flow around the forge merge and the
DeployRequest{rev} deploy, drops the MergeConfigPr approval, its deploy
DAG, the hive's `/webhook/` route and the `core` merge allowlist from
the docs, and states that operators join the `operators` team by hand.
Refs #4850
Moves the "Harness systemd unit shape" section from
docs/agent-lifecycle/agent-roster.md into docs/turn-loop/README.md: it
describes the per-agent harness systemd unit (env vars, PATH wiring,
serviceConfig), which is turn-loop material, not roster material.
Fixes two facts while moving: the ExecStart package is `hive-agent`,
not `hyperhive` (no package by that name exists); and `ruth.nix`
doesn't set any forge subscription default — it only defaults
`services.hyperhive.agent.docs.enable`.
Updates the inbound pointers in docs/turn-loop/config.md and the
module comment at nix/agent-modules/agent-service.nix.
Refs #3902
Per mara's #4879 review (89815): the system has no agent hierarchy,
just a flat set scoped by the capability store, so the filename no
longer matched. The file already read "Agent roster & privileges"
after the earlier facts pass; rename it to match, and update the
four inbound references (docs/README.md, coordinator.md, config.md,
agent-service.nix).
Review fixes for #4879 (argus):
- mcp.md: the 'Waking the agent' cross-ref pointed at Core tools, which
never mentions UpsertTodo/HIVE_AGENT_SOCKET. Point it at
docs/tools/bash.md's 'Completion as a todo (loose-ends v2)' section,
which documents the actual upsert/signal/clear mechanism.
- conventions.md 'Wake injection': still framed AgentRequest::Wake (a
type that no longer exists) as the live wake surface with matrix/forge
as callers. hive_core_agent_sock::Request::Wake has exactly one
non-test reference on origin/main (the handler at
socket_server/mod.rs:307) and no client; matrix/bash/forge all moved
to the in-agent todo socket. Rewritten to match, linking mcp.md's
'Waking the agent' section instead of duplicating it.
docs/tools/matrix.md:136-137 has the same stale AgentRequest::Wake claim
(and contradicts its own :159-165) but is out of scope (#4136) — noted
as a follow-up in the PR body instead of edited.
mcp.md:
- matrix and subagent extra MCP servers are http (hive-matrix-daemon,
hive-subagent-daemon), not stdio; screen is the one entry that still
uses the stdio default (nix/agent-modules/matrix.nix:290-297,
screen.nix:22-25)
- set_status is always-on, not meta-group-gated; mark_todos_done (also
always-on) was undocumented (hive-sh4re/src/permissions.rs:151,
hive-agent-mcp/src/mcp/mod.rs:425)
- System messages: HelperEvent has 3 variants, not the 8 previously
listed; ApprovalResolved/ContainerCrash routing and the swarm-wide
NATS notices stream (swarm_notices.rs) replace the old per-agent
todo-wake description for rebuilt/killed/destroyed/logged_in/needs_login
- get_loose_ends's approval rows are manager-only; PendingMessages and
UnreadMatrix were missing from the description
(hive-sh4re/src/inbox.rs:127-184)
- subagent spawning runs on hive-runtime (claude or ACP), not
claude-only (hive-subagent-mcp/src/session.rs:77)
- Waking section: matrix/bash/forge all moved to the in-agent todo
socket; the host Wake request has no built-in caller left today
agent-hierarchy.md:
- distinguished the swarm-wide agent roster (swarm-controller's
identity store, authoritative) from the hive-local topology.json
(a derived, reconciled cache scoping ManageRootAgent's bind-mounts),
linking README's framing
- noted services.hyperhive.ruthless (a hive can run with no manager at
all)
- Wire-protocol bullet: the only privileged Request variants left are
the scheduling ops; Kill/Start/Restart/Update/GetLogs don't exist on
this socket
- Prompt/tools: prompt::render hardcodes the agent role for every
container today (role:manager blocks are dead code); the tool
allow-list has no Flavor switch, it's HIVE_TOOL_GROUPS same as any
agent
Not touched: agent-hierarchy.md:140-200 (Harness systemd unit shape,
kept in place — see PR follow-ups) and docs/agent-lifecycle/approvals.md
(blocked on #4853).
Frame the turn loop runtime-neutrally: every turn runs through
hive-runtime, on claude (default) or an ACP agent. The loop steps,
harness binary shape and hive-agent README now say so; claude-only
failure detection gets its own heading; claude-invocation.md opens with
its scope and links the ACP side to hive-runtime/README.md.
Fact fixes: on-boot file paths (/run/hive-config, not /run/hive),
hive-claude is a crates.io dependency with no README here, hive-agent
has no client.rs or forge_notify.rs, the claude launch-config layer is
hive-agent's mcp_config.rs, agent forge/matrix accounts are
swarm-controller's, hive-c0re's dashboard is dashboard/, and the
deprecated hyperhive.gui.enable / hyperhive.extraMcpServers spellings.
Refs #3902
mara ruled on #4849 (c88934): "remove create_repo tool". The tool ran in
hive-c0re with the hive's core token, so it only ever worked for agents
on the hive that runs the forge.
Removed:
- the create_repo MCP tool and CreateRepoArgs (hive-agent-mcp)
- wire variants Request::CreateRepo and Response::RepoCreated
(hive-core-agent-sock)
- hive-c0re's handle_create_repo, its valid_repo_name check and the
dispatch arm
- forge::create_agent_repo and apply_operator_branch_protection, which
had no other caller, plus AGENTS_ORG and OPERATORS_TEAM, whose only
users they were
- the tool's docs (docs/tools/forge.md repo management, docs/turn-loop/
mcp.md, the conventions tool-group table) and the doc comments that
named it (hive-sock-client's response timeout, ensure_repo_creation_
disabled, the security doc's merge-gate bullet)
ToolGroup::Forge is kept with no tools, the same way b88a5b24 kept
Lifecycle, so existing meta/capabilities.json grants still parse.
Forge state is untouched: existing agents/* repos keep their collaborators
and operators-team branch protection. The swarm-controller's own
create_repo (config-org repos) is a different path and is unchanged.
Closes#4849
An ACP agent's session is now compacted like a claude one: proactively
once a turn crosses the percent-of-window watermark, and on the
operator's /compact or the agent's compact tool. Before, the ACP
backend's compact returned Unsupported and no watermark applied to it.
- AcpRuntime takes the same CompactionPolicy as ClaudeRuntime;
make_session builds one PercentPolicy (with CHECKPOINT_PROMPT) and hands
it to whichever backend runs.
- The runtime keeps the commands each session advertises in
available_commands_update. If `compact` is among them, compaction sends
the prompt `/compact` on the same session, which is how the ACP spec
runs an advertised command. A proactive compaction runs the checkpoint
turn first, as InfiniteSession does.
- With no compact command, the checkpoint turn runs, the session is
archived, and the next turn starts a new one with the system prompt.
- Error::Unsupported had no producer left, so it and drive_turn's
"/compact skipped" arm are gone.
Refs #4391
`/api/cancel` stopped a turn only by SIGINTing a child process whose argv0 is
`claude`, so on an ACP agent it reported "no claude process to interrupt"
and the turn ran on. The serve loop now stores the session's canceller on
the `Bus` when the runtime has one, and `/api/cancel` uses it: the agent is
sent `session/cancel`, and the next wake prompt carries the interrupted hint,
as for a signalled claude turn. Without a canceller (claude), the SIGINT path
is untouched.
An ACP turn stopped by the idle watchdog (`HIVE_TURN_IDLE_SECS`) becomes
`TurnError::AgentStall(note)`, handled like `ApiStall`: park for
`HIVE_STALL_SLEEP_SECS`, requeue, and record `api_stall`. The TurnEnd note
is the runtime's message (how long the agent was silent, whether it had to
be killed, and that a silently retried provider error such as HTTP 429
looks like this), not the claude-specific `ApiStall` text. A cancel the
agent ignores is a `Failed` turn.
Refs #4391
forge-token.nix fetches swarm/agents/<agent>/forge-token under the
agent's own store identity into /run/hive-agent-forge-token/token, and
re-fetches on a timer so a rotation lands. hive-forge, the git
credential helper, hive-forge-notify, forge-avatar-sync and the web UI
read that file first and fall back to <state>/forge-token.
tea-login is deleted: it copied the token into ~/.config/tea, which
docs/swarm/credentials.md forbids for a store secret. hive-forge covers
the same verbs. swarmctl gains agent mint-forge-token.
Refs #3782
The topology doc keeps its filename and its second half (manager
special-casing, harness unit shape) — both are cross-referenced from
other pages and neither is about the parent field. Its first half is
rewritten: what topology.json is now, and a table of what the removal
took with it, so a reader who finds `<parent>` or `set-parent` in an old
issue thread learns it went away rather than moved.
The dashboard's tree-rendering section is marked dormant rather than
deleted: the walk is still in swarm.js and retiring it is the frontend
owner's call.
swarm-logs covers every host-tier unit this tool could reach, so the
second, capability-gated path into host journald earns nothing and is
removed outright rather than disabled behind a flag.
Removed end to end: the MCP tool definition + handler, the
GetHostJournal/HostJournal wire variants, hive-c0re's
dispatch_host_journal handler, the ReadHostJournal capability, and the
harness-side capability->--allowedTools gate. get_host_journal was the
only capability that mapped to an MCP tool, so allowed_capability_tools
could only ever return an empty vec; it goes too rather than linger as a
function that provably does nothing.
capabilities::has_cap/caps_for stay: #4624 gave ManageRootAgent's
bind-mount enforcement (hive-c0re/src/lifecycle/host_config.rs) a
second caller of has_cap, so they're no longer callerless once this
lands on top of it.
hive-sh4re's journal module (JournalPriority) had no consumer outside
this tool and is deleted.
An existing capabilities.json still naming read_host_journal does not
error: capabilities::prune_unknown drops unrecognised names with a
warn!, and an agent left with no capabilities has its entry removed. No
migration step is needed.
Untouched: hive-c0re/src/dashboard/journal.rs's
read_host_journal_response, which matches the name but is the private
helper behind the operator-only GET /api/journal-host dashboard route
and carries no capability check.
Both agent-facing tools go away end to end, with no replacement. This is
an intentional capability removal: agents can no longer enumerate their
own subtree, and can no longer queue a meta-flake input bump.
The system prompt and docs/tools/lifecycle.md land in this same commit
on purpose. A tool named in the prompt but absent from the server makes
agents confidently call something that doesn't exist, and the failure
then surfaces far from its cause.
Removed:
- MCP registrations and bodies (hive-agent-mcp), plus the now-unused
UpdateMetaInputsArgs.
- Wire variants Request::ListDescendants,
Request::RequestUpdateMetaInputs and Response::Containers, plus
ContainerInfo, whose only consumer was that response.
- hive-c0re's handle_list_descendants (its whole module) and
handle_request_update_meta_inputs, the two dispatch arms, and the
require_group(agent, "approvals", ...) gate on the meta-inputs verb.
- The stream_enrich emoji entry and argument formatter.
- docs/tools/lifecycle.md (both tools it documented are gone), its two
referrers, the tool-group tables and the agent-hierarchy prose.
Tool groups are kept, deliberately. ToolGroup::Lifecycle listed exactly
one tool and now lists none — it is vestigial, but the variant stays so
existing meta/capabilities.json grants still parse; retiring it is a
separate decision. ToolGroup::Approvals also listed exactly one tool,
but the group is NOT dead: check_can_cancel_approval still gates
cancel_loose_end's approval-cancel arm on it server-side.
ApprovalKind::UpdateMetaInputs stays too. Nothing in production code
produces it any more, but pre-existing approval rows may still carry it,
and the operator's own path to a meta update is unaffected — the
dashboard's POST /api/meta-update inserts the meta_update job directly,
bypassing approvals entirely.
The two format_ack tests in hive-agent-mcp that named
request_update_meta_inputs were only using it as a label string while
exercising the generic OkWarn/Ok renderer, so they are retargeted to a
surviving tool rather than deleted.
Note hive-c0re's priv_client::list_containers is a different thing (the
host-side privileged container listing behind hive-priv) and is
untouched.
Closes#4591
133 hits across 38 files, all previously classified during #4548's sweep
and deliberately left un-rewritten (predicate-adjective state/necessity
description, design-intent idiom, structural/type-description idiom,
no-single-actor topology claim, parallel-triple exception, vale
substring-match artifact — see hyperhive#4548's per-PR bodies for the
per-hit reasoning).
Wraps each one in a scoped <!-- vale write-good.Passive = NO/YES -->
pair (the supported mechanism — TokenIgnores has a known offset-drift
bug) rather than a blanket per-file or per-rule silence, so a *new*
passive-voice hit anywhere in these files still fails once the rule
gates CI (next commit). Table/list false positives (docs/swarm/credentials.md's
renewal-table cells) wrap the whole block, not each cell.
Part of #4546.
