A swarm runs one homeserver, so its identity belongs to the swarm and
not to whichever hive happens to host it -- otherwise relocating the
container between hives reads as a different homeserver rather than a
move. `gatewayHost` moved for that reason a commit ago; `serverName`
was left behind, which made the identity hive-shaped and the routing
swarm-shaped.
⚠️ This is the one value on the page that a rebuild cannot undo.
`gatewayHost` is a routing detail clients rediscover through
`.well-known`; `server_name` is embedded in every user and room id, so
adopting a new one strands the existing accounts and rooms rather than
renaming them -- their ids still name a homeserver that stops
answering. Moving the DEFAULT is safe; moving a RUNNING deployment is
not, and existing hives must pin the value they already minted ids
under before rebuilding.
The fallback stays total on a null swarm domain for the same reason as
its neighbours: the required-domain assertion in hive-network.nix is
what should fire, not a coercion error from an unrelated option
interpolating null.
The legacy-pin eval probe now covers `serverName` as well. It existed
to answer "what do I set so old deployments don't change", and was
proving that only for the two values that are cheap to change -- the
irreversible one was the one it did not assert.
The three moves above falsify prose in five files, and none of it is
caught by a gate: clippy, cargo test and nix flake check read exactly
zero markdown.
Corrected where a doc stated a DEFAULT or enumerated the vhosts --
gateway (ACME requirements + the header table + the two Forgejo
reachability lines), matrix (gatewayHost, firewall rationale, agent
reachability), network (container table + the HTTP resolution bullet),
turn-loop config, dashboard.
Two mentions are deliberately left alone. `docs/tools/hivectl.md` says
the URL is read from the daemon "instead of assuming forge.<domain>" --
that sentence is about not assuming a shape and stays true. And
matrix.md's breaking-change note describes what `serverName` USED to
default to; it is history, correctly labelled, and rewriting it would
erase the record of an earlier migration.
The ACME line gained a requirement rather than a rename: with the
service names under the swarm domain, every one of those names has to
resolve to this host, not just the hive's own.
`docs/swarm.md` becomes `docs/swarm/README.md` and the shared-services
material moves to `docs/swarm/services.md`, following the shape
`docs/turn-loop/` and `docs/web-ui/` already use. The README keeps a
pointer so the reading path is unbroken.
Every referrer moved with it — five docs pages, two option descriptions
in swarm.nix, and CLAUDE.md's reading path. A pointer to a file that
moved is worse than one to a file that was deleted: the content still
exists, so the reader concludes the note is wrong rather than the path.
Every prose and error-message reference to the moved options, including
two in hive-c0re/src/matrix.rs that omitted the services. prefix and so
read as the per-agent option. An error that names an option the operator
cannot find is worse than no hint.
Agents in private netns can't reach host loopback directly; they
use forge.<domain> and matrix.<domain> via the gateway. Update four
locations that still claimed direct loopback access:
- hive-forge.nix: module header + openFirewall description
- hive-matrix.nix: openFirewall description
- docs/matrix.md: container design bullet + openFirewall section
The matrix.md provisioning section mentioned trustedServers in passing
("wired up later by extending trustedServers") but never explained it
as a configurable option, and maxRequestSize was undocumented entirely.
Add a "Configuration tuning" subsection before "Assertion rationale":
- trustedServers (default []) — list of peer homeserver names to trust;
federation is protocol-on but no peer trusted until listed; link to
swarm.md for the multi-hive use case.
- maxRequestSize (default 20 MB) — request body limit matching the
matrix-spec recommendation; when and why to raise or lower it.
persistence.md: bash-tasks/ says "persist until container purge" but
bash_tasks_vacuum now runs hourly and deletes terminal task trios older
than 48 hours. Update the description to reflect actual retention policy.
matrix.md: add step 6 to the Provisioning flow section documenting that
hive-c0re restarts hive-matrix-daemon immediately after writing the
access_token (fix for issue #1329). Previously the doc stopped at token
write; the restart + .path-trigger fallback interplay was undocumented.
Last pass of the docs-from-code → docs/ epic (#708). Drops every
attribution cookie from docs/ + README.md + CLAUDE.md so the
source-tree files no longer reference the issue tracker. Issue
threads + commit history retain the references — those are the
canonical record.
- README.md: drop #701 / #660×2 / #551 from matrix + display-name
sections, rephrase to convey the semantics directly
- CLAUDE.md: scrub 18 cookies from the file map (#655, #15, #784,
#832, #444, #425, #361, #548, #598, #539, #544, #589, #701,
#658, #280, #660, #551, #764, #772, #793, #14, #805)
- docs/agent-hierarchy.md: drop #658 ×3 (per-agent user is the
current shape, not a transition)
- docs/conventions.md: drop #571 (replaced with a docs xref to
persistence.md::matrix-avatar-sync)
- docs/gateway.md: scrub vhost-map table cookies + Sub-domain
rationale + Per-agent unix-socket upstream + Self-signed TLS +
Firewall posture + HIVE_FORGE_URL + Per-agent error pages
sections; drop the trailing 'Sequencing history' issue list +
the 'Next-up' issue-link footnote
- docs/matrix.md: scrub serverName/gatewayHost + Default-closed
firewall + Provisioning flow + Initial rollout + Assertion
rationale + fluffychat-web build fixes; drop the trailing
'Sequencing history' issue list
- docs/network.md: drop 'Why ship before #14' #805 quote +
Container shape #805 attribution + trailing 'Sequencing history'
+ Cross-references issue links; rename v2 column to 'after netns
isolation'
- docs/web-ui.md: drop #784 from Container row, replace with a
docs xref to docs/gateway.md::Per-agent unix-socket upstream
Only remaining #NNN in docs/ is the literal markdown-heading
example in docs/forge.md (`#tag`, `#123`, `#!/bin/bash`)
which demonstrates the renderer's behaviour — not an attribution
cookie.
