- hive-c0re/README.md: drop deleted webhook_secret.rs from the module
list
- docs/swarm/README.md, docs/agent-lifecycle/approvals.md: rewrite
temporal wording (legacy/older-release phrasing) as current
behaviour
- docs/swarm/README.md: note that a lost closed delivery deploys
nothing and how the operator recovers
The hook a hive registered on the agent-configs org points at its
/webhook/config-pr route, which no hive serves any more, so every
config-repo event fails delivery to it. The forge sweep now deletes it.
Only a hook whose URL equals this hive's own exactly is removed. The same
path on another base belongs to another hive and is left alone. A forge
error is logged and boot continues; once the hook is gone the step is a
no-op.
Closes#4850
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
docs: the config-repo `main` merge gate (merge = `core` + team
`operators`, approvals = `operators`), the operator merge in the forge
UI and what it deploys, the hand-added `operators` membership, and that
with no eval-verify a failed rebuild leaves `applied/main` at the merged
commit. The swarm README lists the converged gate and the merge deploy.
`merged()` also requires `pull_request.base.ref == "main"`: the hive
deploys its config repo's `main`, so a merge into another branch would
only cost a forge fetch and a refusal comment (argus, #4894).
Refs #4850
The detail panel makes one request for the agent it shows,
GET /api/hives/{hive}/agents/{agent}/linked-accounts, which returns every
matrix, forge and github account of that agent as names and hosts. The
all-agents route and the table's matrix-column rows are removed, so the
table makes no linked-accounts request. The panel stays keyed by
hive/agent. The bao grant is unchanged.
Refs #4855
GET /api/agents/linked-accounts returns one entry per agent that
/api/agents/status has a row for, as {hive, agent, accounts}, from one
store login. The agents page fetches it once (and again when a link dialog
closes) and hands each table row and the detail panel its agent's slice,
so the page makes no per-agent request. The per-agent route had no caller
left and is removed. The bao grant is unchanged: the same list on each
agent's matrix and forge metadata directories.
Refs #4855
GET /api/hives/{hive}/agents/{agent}/linked-accounts returns one row per
account linked to the agent, as kind, name and host: each matrix account
under swarm/agents/<agent>/matrix (with its homeserver, and the agent's own
`main` marked reserved), each forge label under swarm/agents/<agent>/forge
(with its url), and github when swarm/agents/<agent>/github-token exists
(host github.com, which is not stored). No credential field is in the
response type.
Listing those two directories needs a new controller grant: `list` on
secret/metadata/swarm/agents/+/matrix and .../+/forge only, pinned in
bao-grants.nix as the only metadata stanzas under agents/ beside the queue
revocation. Checked against a dev OpenBao 2.6.3: the grant lists those two
directories and is refused on agents/, agents/<agent>/, and a leaf.
The swarm UI agent detail panel shows all rows under "accounts"; the table
view's matrix column shows the matrix rows. The link badges stay.
Refs #4855
argus (PR #4895): the link table didn't say an entry can exist without
the service running anywhere in the swarm. Every option in the table
defaults to a value, so a reader shouldn't take an entry's presence as
proof the service is up.
The swarm-controller builds the Forge quick link from
services.hyperhive.swarm.forge.domain, replacing hive-forge/default.nix's
per-host entry, so all seven swarm-service links come from swarm-level
options.
Also drops the remaining references to the removed matrix GUI switch:
the HiveUrls / Urls / hive_urls docs, the hivectl.md `open` note and
the gateway.md vhost-map rows, which name `gatewayHost` instead. The
grafana, victoriametrics and victorialogs modules' comments no longer
mention a quick-link they do not define.
Refs #4885
The swarm-controller adds a Bao quick link built from
services.hyperhive.swarm.bao.ui.domain, so the popover links the
store's browser UI whichever host runs bao.
Refs #4885
Removes services.hyperhive.deploy.matrix.gui.enable and its
swarm.matrix.gui.enable alias; both are mkRemovedOptionModule stubs. A
host running the homeserver serves fluffychat at gatewayHost's vhost,
and the hive's /matrix/ redirect follows the same condition.
The swarm-controller builds the Matrix quick link from
swarm.matrix.gatewayHost, replacing hive-matrix.nix's per-host entry.
HIVE_MATRIX_PUBLIC_URL is set on every hive with a gatewayHost, so
`hivectl open matrix` resolves off the homeserver's host too.
Drops HIVE_MATRIX_GUI_ENABLED and the dashboard's matrix_gui_enabled
field; nothing in the frontend reads it.
Refs #4885
The swarm-controller module builds the Authelia, Grafana, Metrics and
Logs quick links from services.hyperhive.swarm.<service>.domain, on the
controller's host, instead of each service module adding its entry only
on the host that runs it. A controller whose swarm runs those services
on other hosts lists them in its /api/links popover.
Forge, matrix and bao links are not moved yet: forge waits on #4891,
matrix and bao on whether their GUI gate becomes swarm-level.
Refs #4885
The sentence claiming a per-agent github token sits outside this page
and never passes through the store contradicted the
swarm/agents/<agent>/github-token row already in the table: the token
is minted by swarm-controller and read by hive-agent-github-token
through bao like every other row.
Refs #4347
An operator links an agent's GitHub personal access token in the swarm UI
(LinkGithubAccountForm, "link github account" on /agents). swarm-controller's
PUT /api/hives/{hive}/agents/{agent}/github-account stores it at
swarm/agents/<agent>/github-token (swarm_secret_client::github), a flat leaf
under the agent's prefix that the agent's existing read grant already covers:
no policy change, and no list grant, since there is one token per agent.
In the agent, hive-agent-github-token (oneshot + 2-minute timer, as the agent
user, under its own store certificate, ordered before hive-github-notify)
reads that path and writes <state>/github-token, 0600 and agent-owned, the
file the gh wrapper, git credential helper and hive-github-notify already
read. It replaces the file by rename only when the bytes changed and never
deletes it: a hive-written github-token stays until a token is linked in the
swarm UI. It is installed only with a store address and
services.hyperhive.agent.github.enable.
Removed: the dashboard's CR3D3NTIALS page (credentials.html/js/css, its
build entries and H0M3 tile; GITHUB was its only tab), hive-c0re's
dashboard/matrix_accounts.rs with GET/POST /api/github-account,
priv_client::write_agent_github_token, the host socket's
SetAgentGithubToken and `hivectl github set-token`, and hive-priv's
WriteAgentGithubToken with write_agent_state_file, its only caller gone.
Docs: integrations/github.md and swarm/ui.md describe the swarm path,
swarm/credentials.md gains the store-path row, and the hive UI docs,
hivectl docs and security.md's hive-priv table drop the removed pieces.
Closes#4347
error-pages.nix paragraph (gateway.md:433) blamed a dead authelia
upstream on an empty user set; the real reason the route earns a
custom page is that a bare 502 there blames the proxy while the
gateway itself is fine. gateway.md:38 dropped 'yet' from the
placeholder-while-empty phrasing. services.md:109 corrected
'seeds an empty users database' to the disabled placeholder subject
swarm-authelia.nix actually seeds (swarm-authelia.nix:873).
Refs #3902
Per mara's review: the hive UI doc covers only what hive-c0re's pages
render. Removed the M4TR1X page section (the hive gateway redirects
/matrix/ to the swarm matrix client, which the swarm UI's quick links
open), the swarm-UI forge/matrix account-linking lines from the
CR3D3NTIALS section, the infra-services hivectl paragraph, and the H0M3
Matrix/Forge absence line. Added a single pointer to docs/swarm/ui.md,
and stated the account-linking and Matrix quick-link facts there.
Refs #3902
The swarm.domain assertion in hive-network.nix fired on every host that
imported the module, so a host that enables nothing failed eval. It now
fires only when one of the hyperhive service switches is on (every
deploy.*.enable that runs something, gateway, gateway.dns, network,
otel, snapshotStore). The requirement itself is unchanged: any host that
runs a hyperhive service still needs swarm.domain.
The core-toggle module-eval suite gains a case: a missing swarm.domain is
refused on a hive and on a swarm-service-only host, and a host enabling
nothing passes every assertion.
Closes#4887
authelia 4.39.20 exits at startup on `users: {}` ("users: non zero value
required"), and the first-boot unit seeded exactly that, so a swarm with
no users crash-looped authelia and answered 502 until `swarmctl user add`
ran.
The first-boot unit now writes one subject, `swarm.placeholder`, when
the users database is absent, empty, or exactly `users: {}`:
- `disabled: true` — authelia returns "user not found" for a disabled
user before any password check (file_user_provider.go,
CheckUserPassword).
- password: an argon2id digest with an all-zero key. It decodes (authelia
rejects a non-digest at startup) and no known password hashes to it.
- the `.` keeps it out of agent names (`[a-z0-9-]`), and `swarmctl user
add` refuses it as already existing. Neither writer removes users, and
both round-trip `disabled`.
A file with any user in it is never touched.
The docs that described the crash-loop (sso.md, gateway.md, setup.md,
the sso-unavailable error page) now describe the placeholder; the
writers' load_store docs and the seed fixtures follow. module-eval
nats-authelia asserts the seed branch.
swarm/README.md opens with the swarm and its control plane; hive identity
and the directory follow as the substrate. Upgrade notes move into a
<details> block, the per-agent queue publishing detail into another, and
the one-paragraph pointer sections collapse into a link list.
Fact fixes, checked against origin/main:
- an empty swarm.hives fails eval (swarm.nix:341-354); it does not mean
"not in a swarm"
- swarm.domain is required with a hive (hive-network.nix:156,188), hiveName
with a hive, store or homeserver (hyperhive.nix:161-166)
- the matrix container trusts the hive's trust-bundle.pem at runtime under
self-signed certs (hive-matrix.nix:1046-1052, lib/hive-ca-trust.nix:76-85)
- singleHostSwarm also defaults the controller, localHostsEntry, the nats
callout keys and the bao bootstrap token path (local-defaults.nix:72-129)
- swarm-controller serves far more than /health: roster, wanted state, job
graph, agent creation and credential mints (main.rs:2874-2899)
- swarmctl user add needs --email for the forge account and refuses an
existing user (setup.md:67-71, swarmctl/src/main.rs:425-430); document
agent mint-identity and mint-forge-token
- agent creation also mints store identity, forge token and matrix
account, and declares the agent paused (main.rs:1822-1920, 247-248)
Refs #3902
Fix the 4 pre-existing vale error-level hits on main (docs/README.md:83,
docs/getting-started/setup.md:11,127, docs/swarm/bao.md:4) that fail CI's
prose-lint-errors job for every docs PR regardless of its own diff.
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.
Refs #4348
render_agent gains a second stanza: list on
secret/metadata/swarm/agents/<agent>/*, next to the existing read on
secret/data/swarm/agents/<agent>/*. An agent can now learn which
credentials it holds by listing its own subtree. Metadata read, writes
and every other principal's paths stay refused.
An agent's policy was only written when it was minted, so existing agents
would never get the new stanza. swarm-controller now rewrites every
agent's policy at start (read_policy::ensure_agent_policies), with the
same 30s / 24h retry as ensure_hive_access. The roster is the store's
hive-agent-* cert-auth roles, listed with the controller's existing
`list` on auth/cert/certs; the writes use its existing grant on
sys/policies/acl/hive-*. Only the policy is written: mint_and_verify
also reissues the certificate, so the pass does not call it.
Refs #4348
The previous commit's comments said a unit in auto-restart keeps its
start job, so anything ordered after it waits for the whole 24h retry
window. That is wrong under the default RestartMode=normal: each failed
attempt passes through `failed`, which ends that start job. `After=`
dependents proceed after one attempt, `Requires=` dependents fail with
`dependency`, and the retries continue as fresh start jobs. The
2026-09-24 journal shows it with the already-2880 swarm-services-cert:
nginx got "Dependency failed" 1ms after the first failure, and
switch-to-configuration exited before the first restart was scheduled.
The comments in lib/store-retry.nix, glue-matrix-bao-token.nix,
glue-queue-agent-credential.nix, swarm-otel.nix and swarm-grafana.nix
now say that, and so does docs/swarm/credentials.md.
Because dependents start after one attempt, a consumer that loads its
credential at start never sees a value a later attempt lands, or a
rotated one. nix/host-modules/lib/refresh-consumer.nix adds
`secret_differs` and `refresh_consumer`, and the four fetch units whose
consumers take a start-time copy call them after the write, only when
the value changed:
- swarm-bao-matrix-token -> tuwunel.service in hive-matrix
- swarm-bao-otel-oidc -> opentelemetry-collector.service in swarm-otel
- swarm-bao-grafana-oidc -> grafana.service in the grafana container
- swarm-bao-forwarder-oidc -> opentelemetry-collector.service in swarm-bao
A running consumer is try-restarted, a failed one is reset and started,
all with --no-block. Inline in the fetch script rather than a
PathChanged path unit because the fetch script is the only writer and
already knows whether the value changed, and it is the same shape as
this PR's nginx hook and swarm-bao-nats-tls's restart of nats.
module-eval-bao-grants gains one case per consumer.
Refs #4662
Every hive is in a swarm and every swarm runs matrix, so every swarm has a
swarm-controller, and since #4810 its hive_sender pass mints each hive's
@hive-<hive>: sender token into the store every five minutes. The two
other minters of that token go:
- swarm-matrix-ctl mint: the systemd.services.swarm-matrix-ctl unit in the
hive-matrix container, Command::Mint and src/mint.rs. The binary, its
appservice render/publish verbs, ctlPackage, ctlActive and the ctl cert
role stay. bao-matrix-reader's checks on the deleted unit are removed;
the leaf-identity and no-token-in-env checks now look at
swarm-matrix-appservice-publish, which runs under the same identity.
- the hive-side mint ladder in hive-c0re's ensure_hive_user
(register/appservice-login/password-login with the local as_token), with
read_appservice_token, paths::matrix_appservice_token and the helpers
only it used. ensure_hive_user now takes the store's token, keeps the
file when the store has none or can't be reached, and fails otherwise.
- hivectl matrix sync-admin: the verb, HostRequest::MatrixSyncAdmin and
handle_matrix_sync_admin. The periodic MatrixSweep (ensure_all) is
unchanged apart from no longer reading the local as_token.
This removes the double-mint race #4810's review flagged: two minters
logging in on one pinned device could leave a dead token in the store
until the next pass.
Closes#4813Closes#4814
A hive whose homeserver runs on another host has no local
matrix-appservice-token, so hive-c0re's matrix sweep returned before
reaching the store read in ensure_hive_user: no @hive-<name>: token, no
Space, no chat room, no invites, and a sweep-health banner.
swarm-controller now mints @hive-<name>: with the swarm appservice
token for every hive in its directory, as a MintHiveSenderToken job
node queued by a five-minute pass, and stores it at
swarm/hives/<name>/matrix/sender-token, the same matrix::Credential
swarm-matrix-ctl writes there. It is keep-if-live, reusing agent_token's
classify/plan: a stored token whoami confirms as @hive-<name>: is left
alone, so only an absent or dead one is minted. agent_token's probe and
mint steps are lifted into probe_at/mint_at so both passes share them.
swarm-matrix-ctl mint still writes the path for its own hive when it is
empty. If both mint an empty path at once, one token is invalidated
(same pinned device); the next pass classifies it Revoked and re-mints.
hive-c0re's ensure_all no longer returns when there is no local
as_token. ensure_hive_user reads the store first on every sweep and
overwrites its token file when the store's token differs, keeps the
file when the store has none, mints with the local as_token only when
neither holds one, and fails with one error when there is nothing at
all. The decision is sender_source, unit-tested.
The controller's bao policy gains create/read/update on
swarm/hives/+/matrix/sender-token (`+`, since `*` is a glob only at the
end of a path), pinned in module-eval.
Refs #4427
swarm-bao-operator-viewer-policy exits 0 while the granter may not
configure auth/oidc, so it never retries on its own. On 2026-09-29 the
operator fixed the granter (swarm-bao-granter-role succeeded at 15:29Z),
but the viewer unit had last run on 2026-09-28 19:11Z on that exit-0
branch. auth/oidc/config and the viewer role stayed unwritten and OIDC
login failed until a manual restart.
The granter unit now restarts the viewer unit from ExecStartPost, which
runs only after its script exits 0. Restart rather than start, because
the viewer unit is RemainAfterExit and a start would be a no-op.
--no-block, because the viewer unit is ordered after the granter and a
blocking restart would deadlock. The link is one-way, so the viewer's
own Restart=on-failure never re-runs the granter.
OnSuccess= would not fire (the granter stays active under
RemainAfterExit), and Wants=/PartOf= either no-op on an active unit or
also propagate a failed restart and every stop.
The viewer's log message no longer tells the operator to restart it.
Refs #4772
authelia's file backend has no self-service reset (no SMTP notifier),
so the only way a human account got a new password after the old one
was forgotten was hand-editing users.yml as root. `user add` already
hashes a password into the file; this verb does the same for an
existing user instead of refusing on the name.
Mirrors `user add`'s UX exactly: no password flag, authelia generates
and hashes it (never crosses argv), and it's printed once and never
stored. Refuses on an unknown user before ever invoking authelia. Same
publish path as add/update, so the same atomic write and no-restart
(authelia watches the file) behaviour apply.
Split the digest-replacement into users::reset_password so it's
testable without a command line or a running authelia, same pattern
as apply_update.
The harness now reads swarm/agents/<agent>/queue from the store itself,
under the agent's own store certificate, and holds it in memory only.
It reads once before the first connect and again on every reconnect
attempt (async-nats `ConnectOptions::with_auth_callback`), so an agent
whose secret was re-minted reconnects with the new value instead of
being refused until the container restarts.
hive-agent-queue-credential.service, the /run file it wrote, and
HIVE_AGENT_QUEUE_AGENT_SECRET_FILE are gone; queue-identity.nix now
hands hive-agent.service the store address, its certificate paths and
the agent name.
A failed or empty read before the first connect still falls back to
the hive's shared client. Each read is bounded by a 10s timeout, and
retries wait out the existing reconnect backoff (500ms doubling, capped
at 60s).
Closes#4783
Pins the three properties the revocation rests on and cannot check
against a store: that only `Destroyed` revokes (a revocation on
`Offline` or `Paused` would give an agent that stops and never
restarts), that a 404 is absence while a 403 stays a failure, and that
the delete addresses `secret/metadata/` -- the path that takes every
version, which is the string the grant has to match.
docs/swarm/credentials.md gains the revocation section and its table
cell stops describing the deletion as something an operator does by
hand.
A stored queue secret with no `minted_at` counted as due, and no secret
minted before the renewal pass has one, so the first pass after deploy
would re-mint every agent's secret. Every reconnect before that agent's
next restart would then be refused.
Such a secret is now stamped instead: `minted_at = now` is written beside
the unchanged `value`, and its 45-day clock starts there. Only a secret
whose recorded mint time is at least 45 days old gets a new value.
The decision is `secret_step` (Keep / Backfill / Remint), and the pass
reports an unstamped secret as `Observed::Unstamped`. Backfill and
re-mint log different lines.
A five-minute pass over every agent some hive's wanted state declares as
anything but destroyed queues, per agent:
- `MintAgentIdentity` (the node agent creation uses) when the stored
certificate at swarm/agents/<agent>/bao-mtls is past half its validity,
read from its own notBefore/notAfter: day 45 of the role's 90;
- the new `RenewAgentQueueCredential` node when the queue secret at
swarm/agents/<agent>/queue is 45 days old or has no mint time. The node
re-decides, writes a fresh value with `minted_at`, reads it back, and logs
the agent and the old age.
When both are due the secret node runs after_any the certificate node,
because mint_and_verify compares the queue secret it read with the one it
reads back. A credential that is not stored is never created here.
`queue::AgentCredential` gains an optional `minted_at` (unix seconds);
agent creation now sets it. Stored objects without it decode unchanged and
count as due, so every existing queue secret is re-minted on the first pass.
Both replacements reach the agent at its next start. The old certificate
stays valid until it expires; the old queue secret does not, so a queue
reconnect before that restart is denied.
Adds x509-cert 0.2 (with der_derive and flagset) to read the validity.
docs/swarm/credentials.md: the renewal column splits into automatic re-mint
and automatic re-pull, filled from the code as it stands.
The bao UI at bao-ui.<swarm> took a raw store token and nothing else.
It now offers an OIDC tab: authelia's `admins` group logs in and lands
on `swarm-operator-viewer`, which is list+read on `secret/metadata/*`
and nothing under `secret/data/` or `sys/`.
- authelia registers an interactive client `swarm-bao-ui`
(glue-bao-ui-oidc-client.nix) with redirect
`https://bao-ui.<swarm>/ui/vault/auth/oidc/oidc/callback`; the secret
publisher carries its secret to
`secret/swarm/services/swarm-bao-ui/oidc/client`.
- `swarm-bao-granter-role` (bootstrap token) enables the `oidc` auth
mount with listing visibility `unauth`, asked before attempted like
cert/approle; `bao-bootstrap-policy.hcl` gains `sys/auth/oidc`.
- The granter's policy gains `auth/oidc/config`, `auth/oidc/role/swarm-*`
and read on that one secret leaf. It still holds no `sys/auth`.
- New granting unit `swarm-bao-operator-viewer-policy` writes the viewer
policy, and once the granter may configure `auth/oidc/config` (checked
through `sys/capabilities-self`), writes the mount's config from the
published secret and the role binding `groups=admins` to the viewer.
Before the bootstrap step re-runs it writes the policy, logs the step
and exits 0.
Route (a) per mara on #4775: enabling the auth method stays a
bootstrap-token step, re-run once on the live store.
module-eval pins the viewer policy's single metadata stanza, that the
granter's policy has no sys/auth path, the oidc enable in the bootstrap
unit, the exit-0 path, the config/role contents, and the client
registration + publish.
openbao gains a second listener, `ui`, on 127.0.0.1:<deploy.bao.uiPort>
(default 8204) with TLS off and no client-certificate requirement, and
`ui = true`. The existing listeners are unchanged. An nginx inside the
store's container, on 127.0.0.1:<deploy.bao.uiProxyPort> (default 8206),
forwards only /ui/ and /v1/ to it, redirects / to /ui/, answers 403 on
sys/unseal, sys/seal, sys/step-down, sys/rekey* and sys/generate-root*,
and 404 on everything else.
The gateway on the store's host serves `swarm.bao.ui.domain` (default
bao-ui.<swarm>) behind the authelia auth_request subrequest, proxying to
that nginx; the name joins serviceDomains and localNames like every
other gateway-published swarm service. authelia gets an access_control
rule restricting that name to group:admins, rendered wherever authelia
runs, since the default policy admits any session.
Trade-off, ruled by the operator on the parent issue: the UI listener
asks for no client certificate, so on that door a bao token alone is the
credential.
Three comments and a doc line claimed every API listener demands a
client certificate; they now except the loopback UI listener. The
module-eval case counting declared listeners excludes `ui` by name, as
it already did `metrics`.
On a self-signed gateway, the UI's name is a swarm service name, so its
host requests the services leaf from the store. `swarm-services-cert`
sits Before= and RequiredBy= the gateway's cert import, which nginx
Requires=. On a host whose only swarm name is the UI, that would hold
nginx, and with it the stream passthrough every reader dials, on a login
to a store that may be sealed. hive-tls drops those two edges exactly
when the UI is the only local swarm name: nginx starts on the existing
hive-leaf fallback, and the script's existing re-import reloads nginx
once the leaf issues. Every other host keeps both edges.
The controller's OIDC client secret (client `swarm-controller`, used for
the queue connection, the auth-bridge bearer and the OTLP push) came from
an operator-placed file, `deploy.swarm-controller.queue.clientSecretFile`,
handed in by `LoadCredential=`.
Now `swarm-secret-publish`, which already copies authelia's minted OIDC
secrets into the store, also publishes this one, to
`swarm/controller/swarm-controller/oidc/client`. That path sits under
`controller/`, which no hive's policy reads. The controller reads it once
at start with its existing store certificate and holds it in memory, as
`swarm_queue_client::ClientSecret::Value`. If the store is down, it
retries for about a minute and then fails the start, so `Restart=` tries
again.
Policy delta: the controller gets `read` on that leaf, and the publisher
gets `create`/`update` on that leaf.
Removed: the `queue.clientSecretFile` option (both spellings, now removed
options with a message), its singleHostSwarm default, the credential and
placeholder, and the path watcher plus its restart oneshot. A controller
without a store identity is now an eval error, because it has no other
way to get the secret.
Each agent card now leads with the agent's icon, loaded as an `<img>`
from `GET /api/agents/<name>/icon`: the same 5em square, background and
fallback as the hive dashboard's container row. An agent with no icon
(the route's 404), or any other failed load, shows the dimmed hyperhive
mark (`/favicon.svg`) instead of a broken image.
Only ever an `<img>`, never inline markup: the body is an agent-authored
SVG, and an image load does not run its script.
The auth callout grants an agent that presents its own queue credential
one more subject, `$KV.agent-icons.<agent>`: its own key in the
agent-icons bucket and no other. The hive's shared agent client is
granted none of the bucket, since every agent on a hive presents it.
hive-agent writes `/etc/hyperhive/icon.svg`, the file its `GET /icon`
serves, to that key once per start, as a JetStream publish straight to
the subject (what `kv::Store::put` sends, minus the bucket lookup), so
the one subject is the whole grant. No icon deletes the key. A failed
write, including one that arrives before the bucket exists, is retried
with backoff until acked. An agent connected with the hive's shared
client publishes nothing.
swarm-controller creates the bucket as soon as its queue connection is
up, instead of on the first icon read, so an agent's write does not
wait for someone to look.
Measured against a local nats-server with a user allowed publish on
`$KV.agent-icons.atlas` only: the write to its own key is stored and
readable, a write to `$KV.agent-icons.argus` is refused (the ack times
out), the DEL marker makes the key read as absent, and a write before
the bucket exists fails with "no responders".
When the per-agent secret `queue-identity.nix` fetched is present, the
harness connects with `swarm-agent.<agent>.<secret>` as a static token
and publishes on `$SWARM.term.<agent>` and `$SWARM.agent-state.<agent>`.
When it is absent, or that first connect fails for any reason, a refusal
from a responder that does not verify agent tokens included, it connects
with the hive's shared OIDC client and publishes on the hive-scoped
subjects as before. Which one it took is logged once per connect.
`swarm_queue_client::connect_with_token` is the static-token connect: no
retry on the initial attempt, so the caller sees the refusal and can
fall back. Reconnects share the existing backoff, now a named function.
Closes#4630
`swarm_queue_client::agent_token::format_agent_token` / `parse_agent_token`
are the spelling an agent presents its own queue secret in,
`swarm-agent.<agent>.<secret>`, and the one the auth-callout responder
reads back. The prefix is what separates it from an OIDC access token,
which may itself contain `.`. Parsing distinguishes "not an agent token"
(no prefix) from "a malformed one"; the error names the problem and never
the value. The module is store-free, so the agent formats its token
without linking the secret-store client.
`swarm_secret_client::queue::AgentCredential` loses `hive`: an agent's
identity is not tied to a hive, and nothing reads the field. Objects
already in the store carry it and still decode, since unknown fields are
ignored; a test parses one. The controller stops writing it.
With the credential no longer naming a hive, and the agent's policy
naming none since #4762, nothing in the mint consumes one. `hive` goes
from `mint_and_verify`, from the `MintAgentIdentity` node, and from
`POST /api/agents/{name}/identity`, which now takes no body and no longer
checks a hive against the roster; a caller that still sends one is not
refused, the body is ignored. `swarmctl agent mint-identity` loses
`--hive`, so passing it is now a usage error.
An agent's store identity was signed in swarm-controller's memory by a CA
a controller-host unit generated on disk, and the listener never trusted
that CA. Agent leaves now come from the store itself: a `pki-agents` PKI
mount whose root openbao generates internally, so the agent CA's key
never exists outside the store.
- swarm-bao-agent-pki (new, store host, as the bao granter): enables and
tunes the mount, generates the root once (guarded on an empty issuer
list, no replace branch), upserts the `swarm-agent` role (client
certificates named `hive-agent-*` only, 90 days), caches the CA at
/var/lib/swarm-bao-tls/agent-ca.pem and composes the listener bundle.
- The listener's tls_client_ca_file is a new listener-client-ca.pem
(client-ca.pem, then the agent CA). Host cert-auth roles still pin
client-ca.pem, so an agent leaf satisfies no host role. swarm-bao-certs
composes the same bundle before openbao starts.
- openbao reads tls_client_ca_file only at start, so when the bundle
changed after openbao started, swarm-bao-agent-pki restarts
openbao.service in the container; under `seal = "shamir"` it prints
the step instead. Once swarm-bao-certs has a cached CA, later boots
start openbao with it and do not restart.
- The controller policy gains exactly `update` on
pki-agents/issue/swarm-agent. mint_and_verify now asks that role for
the leaf (the store generates the key), writes the agent's cert-auth
role pinning the issuing CA bao returned, and writes the agent's
policy as render_agent alone: the hive-shared queue credential stanza
is gone.
- deploy.bao.agentPkiRoleName (must start `swarm-`, asserted with the
other pki role names); swarm-controller gets
SWARM_CONTROLLER_AGENT_PKI_MOUNT/_ROLE from the deploy.bao options.
Deleted: swarm-controller-agent-ca and its options (agentCaFile,
agentCaKeyFile), env, LoadCredential entries and assertion;
agent_identity's Authority, rcgen signing and validity window; the
rcgen and time dependencies of swarm-controller (rcgen leaves the
workspace); policy::render_agent_with_queue and its tests. The CN-prefix
assertion policy.rs said was owed is not: agent and host roles pin
different CAs.
Migration is re-creating each agent after deploy; that overwrites the
stale role and policy.
Closes#4756
`services.hyperhive.enable` and `services.hyperhive.c0re.enable` are gone.
One switch, `services.hyperhive.deploy.hive-controller.enable` (default
false, as the old toggle was), now gates hive-c0re and hive-priv. Both old
paths are `mkRenamedOptionModule` shims in deploy.nix, so a host config
that still sets either evaluates as before and gets a rename warning.
Every other read of the old toggle is resolved, including the 29 made
through the `hyperhiveCfg`/`hiveCfg` aliases:
- Dropped: each swarm service and its glue keeps only its own deploy
toggle (authelia, bao and its PKI glue, grafana, victorialogs,
victoriametrics, the secret publisher, swarm-ca, the OIDC client rows,
the controller/nats/matrix-ctl/publisher/services-issuer identities),
the forge, and the `domain` deprecation warning.
- To deploy.hive-controller.enable: the queue-agent credential reader and
its assertion, which feed hive-c0re and write under its state dir, plus
their policy-order entry; the network identity assertions; hive-tls's
two writes into hive-c0re's environment.
- hive-tls runs where the gateway runs self-signed
(`gateway.enable && useSelfSigned`), not on every host.
- The matrix appservice-token reader and its assertion stay on
`deploy.matrix.enable` plus their client-identity checks. They read
deploy.matrix's token file and registration script; their deploy.bao
inputs are the client-half options a hive sets to read a store it does
not run, so gating on deploy.bao.enable would drop the tested
remote-reader case.
- The `hiveName` assertion moves from hive-network.nix to hyperhive.nix
and fires wherever the hive, the store or the homeserver runs: each
turns the name into an identifier with no fallback.
On a host with `deploy.allSwarmServices` and no hive, the documented
services-host recipe, authelia, bao, grafana, victorialogs,
victoriametrics, the OIDC client rows and the hive CA now render; before,
the old toggle being off left them out.
