manager can pass ttl_seconds to ask_operator. on submit, host
stores deadline_at = now + ttl in operator_questions (new column,
migrated via existing pragma_table_info pattern), spawns a tokio
task that sleeps until the deadline then resolves the question with
answer '[expired]' and fires the same OperatorAnswered helper event.
already-resolved races no-op silently.
dashboard renders a '⏳ MM:SS' chip on the question row when
deadline_at is set. format collapses seconds → s, < 1h → m s, ≥ 1h
→ h m. heartbeat refresh (5s) keeps the chip current; the operator
sees it tick down.
manager prompt + mcp tool description updated. journald viewer per
container queued in todo (separate task).
ask_operator now accepts a multi: bool. when true and options is
non-empty, the dashboard renders the choices as checkboxes — operator
picks any subset, answer comes back as a ', '-joined string. when
false (default), options are radio buttons.
independent of multi, a free-text input ('or type your own…') is
always rendered alongside options so the operator is never trapped
by an incomplete list. submit merges checked options + free text into
the single 'answer' field.
schema migration: operator_questions grows a multi INTEGER column
with a one-shot ALTER TABLE on open. backward compatible — old rows
default to 0 (not multi).
prompt + mcp tool description updated; existing dashboard css for
.qform was rewritten around the new vertical layout.
new manager tools mcp__hyperhive__{start,restart} that delegate to the
existing lifecycle::start / lifecycle::restart on the host. kill was
already at the manager's discretion; rounding out start + restart for
parity so day-to-day container care doesn't have to round-trip through
the operator.
guard: refuse self-targeting on kill/start/restart — the manager would
just be cutting its own legs. spawn (request_spawn) and config changes
(request_apply_commit) still go through the approval queue, since those
are the actual gate. prompt + claude.md updated to make the boundary
explicit. kill now also emits HelperEvent::Killed (it didn't before).
new mcp tool on the manager surface that queues a question on the
dashboard and returns the question id immediately. operator submits an
answer via /answer-question/<id>; the dashboard fires
HelperEvent::OperatorAnswered { id, question, answer } into the manager
inbox so the next turn picks it up.
also: fix async-form button stuck on spinner after successful submit
(refreshState skipped re-rendering, so the button was never re-enabled).
