intends. Requiring socket activation everywhere means dev and prod
take the exact same path and the group grant always holds.
### the per-agent socket dir
`/run/hive-agent/<name>/` is shared by **three principals that share no
group**, which is why its mode is what it is:
| principal | reaches | needs |
|---|---|---|
| the agent's harness | binds + unlinks `agent.sock`, `web.sock` | owner, `rwx` |
| `hive-c0re` | dials `agent.sock` (todo wakes) | traverse |
| the gateway's nginx | dials `web.sock` | traverse |
The last two land in "other", so the dir is **`0751`, owned by the
agent's container uid/gid** — `o=--x` is traverse without listing, and
both sockets are `0666`, which is all a dialer needs.
**Ownership is declared, not repaired.** The tmpfiles.d entry written by
`SyncAgentTmpfiles` names the uid/gid directly. Do not add a chown
alongside it: `d` re-applies on every boot *and* every agent
spawn/destroy, so ownership set afterwards is reverted the next time any
agent changes — which is exactly how this dir spent a long time at
`0777 root root` while a privileged chown appeared to be fixing it.
The mode is load-bearing, not cosmetic. Write permission on a
*directory* is what confers the right to unlink its entries, whoever owns
them, and the sticky bit is the only thing that would restrain that (it
is not set here). A world-writable socket dir therefore lets anything
able to reach the path delete an agent's socket and bind its own — and
the gateway container has all of `/run/hive-agent` bind-mounted in.
Dropping `o=w` removes that permission rather than qualifying it.
⚠️ Contrast `/shared`, which *is* sticky world-writable (`1777`): it has
many legitimate writers, so sticky is the best available answer there.
This dir has exactly one writer, so it needs no world write at all.
### host admin socket access (`hivectl`)
`hivectl` drives the whole hive — spawn / kill / destroy / rebuild /

bind, not file bind — file bind-mounts don't survive the
harness's `unlink + bind(2)` cycle on socket replace. Per-agent
subdir keeps each agent's container blind to siblings' sockets.
The dir is `0751`, owned by the agent's container uid/gid, so
nginx reaches `web.sock` through `o=--x` (traverse) and the socket's
own `0666`. The gateway is one of three principals sharing that dir
and does not own its ownership rules — see
[`docs/boundary.md`](boundary.md#the-per-agent-socket-dir).
3. **Marker gate**. After successful `bind_unix`, the harness drops
`<dir>/hyperhive-socket-bound` next to the socket. c0re's
`agent_sockets::write` filters its JSON map by marker presence —
