docs/swarm/README.md gets the routes, the revision, the apply semantics
and the stopped-agent behaviour; the persistence doc points there from
the AGENTS.md entry. The swarm-controller, swarm-controller-api and
swarmctl READMEs and the repo map in AGENTS.md list the new bodies and
routes. docs/tools/swarmctl-cli.md is regenerated for
`swarmctl agent agents-md`, whose help text loses two passive phrasings

a429b30448 rename claude.md to agents.md for agents and the repo
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.

553ed8376c archetypes: build an archetype agent from its archetype's module on the hive
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.

7b5400ecb8 grant manage_root_agent by stored permission only, not by the name ruth
Permission::default_for and hive-sh4re's MANAGER_AGENT are gone: every
agent with no permissions key holds Permission::DEFAULT, ruth included.
The agent-name parameters that only fed default_for go with it
(permissions::effective, HiveCopy::before_read/after_read and their
callers).

swarm-controller seeds the grant ruth held by name: at start, a declared
ruth whose permissions are unset gets DEFAULT plus manage_root_agent
written into her key, once, logged. A set key is never touched. It is a
one-shot to delete once every swarm has passed it.

The swarm UI setup assistant opens the create form with
manage_root_agent checked, so a new ruth is created with the grant.
permissions_import no longer adds ruth to the import or splits her
default. Docs and help text no longer say ruth holds the grant by
default; swarmctl-cli.md regenerated.

89013b5408 agent permissions: hold hive-c0re's stored grant until the agent's own read
Until its first successful read of its key, the harness read its
permissions as the default set, `execution` included. So did the
subagent daemon. An agent the operator had narrowed ran wider than
granted after every restart while the queue was unreachable, and in the
gap before the first 10 s poll. During the meta-repo import, every
non-ruth key is still unset, and the agent read that as the default too,
for as long as the import stayed pending.

mara picked option (a) on #5293: "a, removal of the old path as a follow
up in 1w".

hive-c0re now writes each agent's entry from
swarm-agent-permissions.json into the agent's runtime dir as
swarm-permissions.json (/run/hive in the container), together with
whether the import is still pending. It writes the file at every start
(write_dropins) and after every 30 s pass of the permissions worker. The
harness and the subagent daemon hold that stored list until their own
first read succeeds. While the import is pending, an unset key keeps
the stored list rather than reverting it to the default. A queue that
is down never blocks a start: the agent runs on the stored grant.

The decision lives in swarm_queue_client::agent_permissions::HiveCopy,
shared by both readers.

f0844f6da3 agent permissions: one set, tool groups included, set at agent creation
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.

f862354e43 agent capabilities live in a swarm KV record, set from swarmctl
An agent's capabilities move from the hive's meta repo
(`meta/capabilities.json`, injected as `HIVE_CAPABILITIES`) into the
`capabilities` field of its key in a new `agent-permissions` KV bucket,
which swarm-controller alone writes.

- swarm-queue-client: `agent_permissions` (bucket, key, `AgentPermissions`,
  direct-get read, the import subject and its wire types).
- swarm-controller: creates the bucket at start; `GET|PUT|DELETE
  /api/agents/{name}/permissions` (deny_unknown_fields and unknown
  capability ⇒ 422, duplicate ⇒ 400, agent must be declared by a hive);
  answers each hive's one-shot import, writing a key only where there is
  none and only for agents that hive's wanted state declares.
- swarmctl: `agent permissions get|set|clear`.
- swarm-nats-auth: a hive reads every key of the bucket and sends its
  import on its own subject; the controller subscribes to the imports and
  may answer them (`responses`).
- hive-c0re: reads each of its agents' keys every 30s into
  /var/lib/hyperhive/swarm-agent-permissions.json and restarts an agent,
  gracefully, when its capabilities change. Unset is the compiled-in
  default (ruth: manage_root_agent; everyone else: none). A failed read
  keeps the stored value. On first boot it seeds that file from
  meta/capabilities.json, sends the grants to the controller, and deletes
  the file once the controller answers.

Deleted: the capabilities.json reader/writer, `HIVE_CAPABILITIES` in the
rendered meta flake, ruth's capability seed, the capabilities half of the
permissions rebuild job (`PermPayload::Capabilities`/`Combined`), the
dashboard's capabilities table and `capabilities_changed` event, and the
now-unused `Capability::description`.

90e33cbd19 hive-c0re: the per-agent resource limit override is gone
The hive no longer sets an agent's CPU or memory cap: caps come from the swarm, else the hive-wide defaults. The container load tab was the only hive UI that set them, and its figures are already exported as OTEL metrics, so with the tab gone nothing wrote meta/resource-limits.json.

Removed: the file's reader and writer, the `hivectl agent set-limits` verb with its host-socket request, the `GET /api/container-resources` and `POST /api/resource-limits/{name}` dashboard endpoints, and the `cpu_quota`/`memory_max` fields of the container view that only the tab read. A leftover resource-limits.json is ignored.

7b1435eaea hive-matrix-mcp: bound each secondary retry, warn once per outage
Three follow-ups to argus's review of #5237:

- A down secondary's retry runs `restore` under RESTORE_TIMEOUT (2 min).
  Tries run one per tick on one future, so a restore that never resolved
  held back every other down account's retries for good; a try that
  outlasts the timeout now counts as a failure like any other.
- `client::build_and_restore` warns about a rejected token only for the
  primary, which exits right after. For a secondary it logs at debug: the
  retry loop already warns once per outage (`DownAccounts::failed` is news
  on the first failure and on a changed reason, and an account that came
  up starts afresh), so the extra warn repeated on every try.
- `a_secondary_that_comes_up_late_does_not_wipe_the_todos` runs the late
  bring-up in a child process of the test binary with HIVE_AGENT_SOCKET
  pointed at the test's listener. In-process the variable was unset, so a
  wipe placed back in the bring-up path was a no-op and the test passed.

New tests: a_second_rejection_in_a_row_does_not_warn_again (captured logs, alone
in a child process since tracing caches callsite interest process-wide;
a stub whoami answering M_UNKNOWN_TOKEN, the real build_and_restore),
a_failure_after_the_account_came_up_is_news_again, and
an_account_whose_restore_hangs_does_not_hold_back_the_others (paused time).

53049962b8 hive-matrix-mcp: quieter retries, unique snapshot tmp file, accurate comments
Audit follow-ups on the secondary-account retry.

The accounts snapshot is written by the heartbeat task and, now, by the
retry loop. Both used one fixed tmp path, so concurrent writers could
clobber it or fail the rename. Each write now names its own tmp file
(pid + counter); a test hammers it from four threads.

A permanently bad secondary logged three warnings per attempt, every 16
minutes, for as long as the daemon ran. DownAccounts::failed now reports
whether a failure is news (first, or a different reason from the last);
only that is a warning, repeats are debug. The two per-attempt warnings
in client.rs and credential.rs are covered by that line, which names the
reason, so the store-token one drops to debug.

The comments in client.rs and a credential.rs test, and persistence.md,
still described the old skip-until-restart behaviour or implied that a
store-listed account without a credential is retried here; that case is
handled by the linked-name set changing, not by this loop.

7f26238c87 hive-matrix-mcp: retry a secondary account that failed to come up
The daemon's two-minute refresh compared the store's linked account
names with the names it booted with. A secondary that was named but did
not come up - no token at bring-up, a token the homeserver rejected
(M_UNKNOWN_TOKEN), or a homeserver still down after the ~52 s boot
retries - kept its name in the set, so nothing ever noticed it again:
it stayed down until the daemon restarted for some other reason, and
an operator re-linking a rejected account changed no name.

Each such secondary is now tried again on the same two-minute period,
one per tick, after one refresh and then doubling waits capped at
sixteen minutes. One that comes up joins the registry (now behind a
lock) and its sync loop joins the running set; the primary and the
other accounts are not restarted. The store is still only read.

The startup todo wipe moves out of bring_up_account to run once before
any sync loop: run per account, a late secondary would have cleared the
todos the running accounts' sweeps had already deduped.

45568f6e60 matrix: back up agents' room keys with a controller-minted recovery passphrase
An agent's matrix encryption keys lived only in its local crypto store, so
`destroy --purge` or a primary-account token reset lost every encrypted
room's history with no way back (#5022).

swarm-controller now mints a random passphrase (32 bytes from the kernel's
CSPRNG, base64url) for every account listed under each agent's `matrix/`
directory, at `swarm/agents/<agent>/matrix-recovery/<account>`, in a
five-minute pass. The write is a cas=0 create after a read; a path that
holds anything is never replaced, and a create that loses a race counts as
done. The controller's existing `data/swarm/agents/*` grant covers the
write and the agent's own `agents/<agent>/*` read grant covers the read, so
no policy changes.

hive-matrix-daemon reads the passphrase when it brings an account up, after
cross-signing: with no backup on the homeserver it enables recovery with it
(backup + secret storage); with one there it recovers, which imports the
backup key and the self-signing key, and room keys then download through
`BackupDownloadStrategy::OneShot`. No passphrase yet logs at INFO and the
account comes up without backup; any failure logs WARN and never stops the
daemon.

Recovery runs after `ensure_cross_signing`, not before: on a new account
cross-signing must exist locally for `enable` to export it into secret
storage, and on an existing identity `bootstrap_cross_signing_if_needed` is
a no-op, leaving `recover` to import and sign.

78412b3d3b hive: remove the read-only schedules page and the old schedule store
Scheduled prompts live at swarm level (swarm-controller's
/api/schedules, `swarmctl schedule`, the swarm UI's /schedules page).
The hive dashboard's SCH3DUL3S tab only listed the rows left in
hive-c0re's `scheduled_prompts` table so operators could copy them
over; the operator confirmed everything is migrated.

Removed:
- the SCH3DUL3S tab, its pane, schedules.js, its CSS (including the
  `.rqe-source*` rules, whose only emitter was schedules.js) and the
  hub tile's "schedules" entry
- hive-c0re's GET /api/schedules and the `scheduled_prompts` store
  (with its v1 column migration and test)
- hive-sh4re's `schedule` wire types, which only that route used
- docs describing the tab, the route and the two tables

The rebuild-queue cancel route that shared the module moves to
dashboard/rebuild_queue.rs under an OpenAPI tag of its own.

The two sqlite tables are not dropped: nothing opens them any more,
and persistence.md says they can be dropped by hand.

fccf2ab892 hive-c0re: read each agent's swarm caps from agent-limits
Every 30 seconds `workers::swarm_limits` reads the `agent-limits` key of
each agent this hive has and stores the result in
swarm-resource-limits.json, where the drop-in, the heap ceiling and the
dashboard read it. A cap therefore follows its agent to whichever hive
runs it.

Each value goes through the hive's own validate_cpu_quota /
validate_memory_max before it is stored, since hive-priv renders it
verbatim into the container's drop-in, and one bad value refuses the whole
set (argus on #4268, carried over from the wanted-state consumer this
replaces). A failed read, or a bucket that does not answer, leaves the
stored caps as they are; three failures in a row raise a banner.

swarm-nats-auth grants every hive `$JS.API.DIRECT.GET.KV_agent-limits.>`:
read-only, and every agent's key, not just the hive's own. Scoping it to
the hive's agents would need a roster in the auth responder, which
policy.rs argues against. mara chose this on #4268 (c95293); narrowing it
is a possible low-priority follow-up, not planned. A test pins that the
grant reads every key, writes none, and reaches no other bucket.

Contributes to #3865.

eaca3c4eb3 agents: always write the memory cap, infinity for none
The cap file was removed for a cap of `infinity` or a RAM percentage,
so the boot check warned on every start of such an agent, for a
legitimate config. The file is now written on every start:

- a size: its byte count, as before;
- `infinity`: the literal `infinity`. The generators set no JSC heap
  ceiling and no subagent MemoryHigh=, and the boot check is quiet;
- a percentage: resolved on the host the way systemd resolves
  MemoryMax=N% for the container@ unit. That is permyriad (at most two
  decimals, at most 100%) of sysconf(_SC_PHYS_PAGES) *
  sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE), rounded down to a page;
- a value systemd ignores (zero, over 100%, more than two decimals,
  unparseable) leaves the unit uncapped, so it is `infinity`.

The file is missing only when hive-c0re can't tell the cap: the
limits file and the kept drop-in are both unreadable, or a percentage
meets an unknown host memory size. The boot check now warns only for
a missing file or a first line that is neither a byte count nor
`infinity`.

0d619e215e agents: read the memory cap at boot, not from the build
An agent's memory cap was rendered into its flake (`memoryMaxBytes` →
`services.hyperhive.agent.claudeMemoryMaxBytes`), so the closure depended
on it and a changed cap reached the JSC heap ceiling and the subagent
`MemoryHigh=` only after a rebuild.

hive-c0re now writes the effective `MemoryMax=` in bytes to the agent's
runtime dir (`/run/hive/memory-max-bytes` inside) in `write_dropins`,
from the same value the drop-in gets. The file is removed for
`infinity` or a RAM percentage, and left alone when the drop-in is kept.

Inside the container, `nix/agent-modules/memory-cap.nix` reads it at
boot: an environment generator sets `BUN_JSC_forceRAMSize` (75%) for
every unit and `machinectl shell`, `/etc/set-environment` exports it in
login shells, and a unit generator writes `MemoryHigh=` (2/3) as a
drop-in for `hive-subagent-daemon`.

The render drops `memoryMaxBytes`, the agent option is removed (both
spellings fail eval with a removal message), and
`effective_memory_bytes_from` goes with its only caller.

Agents reach the operator over matrix now (#5115). A `send` to
`operator` is refused, by the broker and by the MCP allow-list check,

`Broker::unread_for_recipient`, and the browser notifications that only

The harness no longer posts turn failures and plugin-install failures

962c1548eb swarm-controller: revoke matrix admin from former operators
The operator admin sync now also takes homeserver admin away. It records
each user id it sends `make-user-admin` for in
`operator-matrix-admins.json` under the controller's state directory
(written to a temporary file and renamed over it; a missing file is an
empty set). On each pass, a recorded account that is no longer in
authelia's `admins` group but is still joined to `#admins:<server>` is
sent `!admin users force-leave-room <user> <admin room id>` as `@swarm`,
over the same `/_matrix` path the grant uses. Leaving that room is what
ends tuwunel admin.

It never revokes an admin it didn't grant, `@swarm`, tuwunel's server
user (`@conduit:<server>`), an agent's account (the store's
`hive-agent-*` cert roles, the same roster the agent account mint uses),
or anyone in the new `services.hyperhive.swarm.matrix.adminSync.ignoreUsers`
list. That list reaches the daemon as
`SWARM_CONTROLLER_MATRIX_ADMIN_SYNC_IGNORE_USERS`. It also never sends a
revoke that would leave `#admins` with no member besides `@swarm` and the
server user.

A revoke is sent at most once per account per controller process, like a
grant. A recorded account that is out of both the group and the room is
dropped from the file.

2c7e586f47 forge: external forge accounts live in swarm bao; the agent fetches them itself
An operator now links an agent's external forge account (label, base URL,
token) in the swarm UI. swarm-controller stores it at
swarm/agents/<agent>/forge/<label>. There is no index: the store's
listing of the agent's forge/ directory is the set of accounts.

In the agent, hive-agent-forge-accounts (oneshot + 2-minute timer, as
the agent user, under its own store certificate) lists
swarm/agents/<agent>/forge/ with the `list` #4866 grants an agent on its
own metadata subtree, reads each account, and writes
<state>/forge-<label>-token and forge-<label>.json in the names and shape
hive-forge -f already reads. An empty listing (a 404, which `bao kv list
-format=json` answers with `{}` and an empty stderr) is zero accounts; a
denial or an unreachable store fails the unit. It never deletes: files
for labels not listed, including ones the hive wrote, stay as they are.

Removed: the dashboard FORGES tab (credentials.js/html section and its
CSS), hive-c0re's extra_forges.rs and its routes, priv_client's
extra-forge calls, and hive-priv's WriteAgentExtraForgeAccount /
DeleteAgentExtraForgeAccount with their helpers. The GITHUB tab and
WriteAgentGithubToken stay.

Also: persistence.md's matrix avatar note names the exit-75 restart on a
changed account listing, not the dashboard, as what brings a linked
account up.

97fb76ce99 matrix: the agent's daemon pulls its linked accounts from bao itself
hive-matrix-daemon now learns which external matrix accounts it has from
the swarm secret store, under the agent's own certificate, and the hive
push chain for matrix is gone.

The daemon lists swarm/agents/<agent>/matrix/ (the `list` its policy
grants on its own metadata subtree), reads each account's homeserver
from its credential, and brings the accounts up with their tokens from
the store. Every two minutes it lists again and exits with 75 when the
set of linked accounts changed; the unit restarts on 75 without counting
a failure. A listed name whose credential reads as absent is skipped and
logged once. At start it removes the matrix-token-<a> /
matrix-account-<a>.json pairs a hive delivered (a sidecar marks a pair
as delivered; a declared tokenFile keeps its token).

Removed: CredentialNotice and the $SWARM.credential.* subject and NATS
grant, the controller's publish and its queue precondition on the PUT
route, hive-c0re's credential subscription arm and workers/credential.rs,
priv_client::write_agent_matrix_token, hive-priv's WriteAgentMatrixToken
and its helpers, and the daemon's state-dir account discovery.

Kept: WriteAgentGithubToken and the external-forge path
(WriteAgentExtraForgeAccount, extra_forges.rs) are untouched, and a
declared matrixAccounts tokenFile is still read when the store has no
token for that account.

5785c0024c Make agent creation swarm-only and refuse a name placed on another hive
swarm-controller's POST /api/agents now refuses (409) a name the swarm
has already placed on a different hive: a non-Destroyed declaration in
that hive's wanted state, or a SetAgentWanted node still queued for it.
The same name on the same hive is that agent being re-created and goes
through. A wanted state that cannot be read refuses (503/500) instead of
reading as "placed nowhere". Creations are serialised from that read to
the graph insert so two concurrent creations of one name cannot both
pass.

Hive-level creation is removed: hivectl `agent create` / `request-create`,
HostRequest::Spawn / RequestSpawn, the dashboard POST /api/request-spawn
route, and ApprovalKind::Spawn with its approve/resolve arms and the
approval-carrying `templates::spawn`. The swarm path (deploy request or
wanted-state sweep -> queue_first_deploy -> templates::first_deploy) used
none of them. Old `spawn` approval rows are skipped by collect_lenient,
as `init_config` rows were in a3b672d1.

policy.rs's comment on agent_object_name stated swarm-wide name
uniqueness as a fact; it now says where it is enforced and what that
check cannot see.

2252c55df8 hive-priv: create agent socket dirs on start; drop hyperhive-agents.conf
/etc/tmpfiles.d/hyperhive-agents.conf was a boot-time backstop (#2290)
that pre-created every agent's bind sources. The start preamble already
creates them for every c0re-driven start, and on this host only hive-c0re
starts agent containers. The file was also the reason the socket dir's
owner had to be declared there, which is how it spent its life at
`0777 root root` whenever the uid could not be resolved (#4742).

- hive-priv gains `EnsureAgentSocketDir { name }`, called from
  `set_nspawn_flags` in every start path. It creates
  `/run/hive-agent/<name>` `0751 root:root` with mkdirat relative to an
  O_DIRECTORY|O_NOFOLLOW fd for the parent. An existing entry has to be a
  directory (fstatat AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW); anything else is refused, and a
  directory is left alone. hive-c0re's own create_dir_all went: its /run
  is read-only under ProtectSystem=strict.
- The container's `hive-agent-user-migrate` activation chowns that dir to
  the agent user and sets 0751, the same way it already handles state/ and
  harness/. It refuses a symlink or non-directory there, since `test -d`
  and chmod follow links. No host-side passwd parse, and no window where
  the dir is world-writable.
- `/run/hyperhive/agents/<name>` stays created by hive-c0re itself
  (`ensure_agent_runtime_dir`). It holds the `mcp.sock` that hive-c0re
  binds as hive-core, so it must not become root- or agent-owned.
- The `/run/hive-agent` parent is declared in hive-priv.nix, `0755
  root:root`, instead of hive-gateway's hive-core rule. hive-priv is its
  only writer now, and hive-priv's ReadWritePaths needs it to exist.
- The manager start in `ensure_root_agent` now goes through
  `converge_start_preamble` + `start_with_fallback`. It was a bare start,
  so after a reboot the manager's bind sources existed only because of the
  tmpfiles file, and its limits drop-in did not exist at all.
- Removed: `sync_tmpfiles`, `agent_uid_gid` / `parse_passwd_uid_gid`,
  `priv_client::sync_agent_tmpfiles`, `AgentTmpfilesEntry`, the tmpfiles
  body builder and their tests, plus the three call sites.
- Legacy: hive-priv unlinks the file at every start, ignoring ENOENT.
  `SyncAgentTmpfiles` stays one release as a payload-ignoring variant that
  does the same unlink and returns Ok, for an older hive-c0re.

Salvaged from #4752: the boundary.md correction that nginx only dials,
because ProtectSystem=strict makes its /run read-only.

Behaviour change: a manual `nixos-container start h-<name>` right after a
reboot, before hive-c0re has started that agent, now fails on a missing
bind source instead of starting.

c6a778f666 lint: tighten atomic-write-secret.nix's header comment; fix vale contractions in persistence.md
The header comment grew to 39 lines across two audit-driven rounds,
over the 30-line comment-block-lint max. Trimmed to 30: merged the
value-as-argument rationale with its /proc/cmdline justification into
one paragraph, cut the usage example to one call instead of two, and
condensed the args paragraph — no content dropped, just restatement.

persistence.md's first-boot-migration marker paragraph used "it is"
and "there is not" — vale's Microsoft.Contractions rule (this repo's
config) wants the contracted forms, and "is not" also collides with
"is nothing" as a literal substring, which is what actually tripped
the error. Reworded to "it's" / "there's nothing", no meaning change.

Lint-only: no script logic changed, gates re-run below are all lint
checks (no module-eval, no cargo).

ed53e9abcc host-modules: write credential files atomically; agent-modules: retry a failed .claude migration
Four host glue units fetched a secret from swarm-bao and rendered it
with `> path; chmod`: a reader racing the write could see a truncated
file, and briefly one at the wrong mode before the chmod landed.
glue-matrix-bao-token.nix, glue-queue-agent-credential.nix (both
files), swarm-grafana.nix and swarm-otel.nix now write to a same-
directory temp file, set its final mode/owner, then `mv -f` it over
the target — a shared `atomic_write_secret` helper
(nix/host-modules/lib/atomic-write-secret.nix) so the five call sites
share one implementation.

The first-boot `/root/.claude` migration in nix/agent-modules/user.nix
wrote its done-marker unconditionally, so a failed `cp` (disk full,
permission error) left the marker behind and no boot ever retried the
copy. The marker is now written only when there was nothing to
migrate or the copy succeeded; `cp -an`'s no-clobber semantics already
make a retry after a partial copy safe.

336ed5a010 docs+comments: say what changed instead of tagging the tracker item
The prose added by this branch named the tracker item in seventeen
places, which check-issue-refs.sh rejects: a `#N` tag is dead weight for
anyone reading the public mirror, where no issue data exists. Each one
now states the fact it was pointing at — the parent field is gone — so
the sentence stands on its own.

Two of those lines also carried a rustdoc break: `[`write`]` in
topology.rs is ambiguous between the module's own `write` fn and the
`write!` macro, which `-D rustdoc::broken-intra-doc-links` fails. Spelled
`[`write()`]`, per rustdoc's own suggestion.

The host_config.rs rewrite is two lines rather than three so the doc
block stays under check-comment-blocks.sh's 30-line ceiling.

179f873722 docs: retire the agent hierarchy from every page that described it
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.

11097ed336 remove the get_host_journal MCP tool and its capability
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.

04e27c4fb6 docs: suppress reviewed write-good.Passive false positives
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.

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.

99b141f5f2 matrix: drop the per-agent matrix.enable; accounts are the enable signal
`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.

f22791b7a4 docs: clear the remaining error-level vale lints
Per #4128 (mara: allow-everywhere false positives go in a central
list, otherwise fix in source). Testing surfaced better fixes than
the plan posted on the issue:

- 5x Microsoft.Contractions 'that is' idiom false positives: adding
  the missing comma ("that is, ...") both reads better and satisfies
  the rule's own negative-lookahead, so no suppression is needed at
  all. Fixed in docs/integrations/forge.md, docs/tools/forge.md,
  docs/tools/hivectl.md, docs/web-ui/dashboard.md, and
  swarmctl-cli.md's generated source (swarmctl/src/main.rs, doc
  comment regenerated via markdown-docs).
- persistence.md's 'is not' matching inside 'is nothing': reworded to
  'there'\''s nothing' rather than add any exception -- dodges the trap
  and is a genuine contraction besides.
- ca.md's 'it is' matching inside the already-correct 'it isn'\''t':
  tried a central .vale.ini TokenIgnores entry first per the
  allow-everywhere framing, but testing against the real file (not
  just a synthetic snippet) found it silently fails to suppress
  whenever markdown emphasis syntax appears earlier in the same
  file -- an offset-drift bug in how Vale applies TokenIgnores, not
  a config mistake. Reworded to "it'\''s not" instead, same fix
  shape as persistence.md.
- config.md's 3 genuine Microsoft.Avoid 'backend' exceptions (already
  flagged and accepted on #4139 -- an actually-pluggable LLM API
  provider, matching the nix option's own name, not one internal
  system to name): scoped inline vale suppression around just that
  section, since this one really is context-specific rather than a
  rule bug.

Verified: fresh 'vale docs/ --minAlertLevel=error' is 0 errors AND
0 warnings (was 10 errors). nix fmt 0 changed beyond the edits
themselves. pre-push lints (tracker-tag/comment-block/doc-pointer)
clean. cargo clippy -p swarmctl -- -D warnings clean. Diffed the
regenerated swarmctl-cli.md against the old copy to confirm only
the intended line moved.
