17554ea563 fix: sync generated hive-forge CLI docs with their clap source strings
Same bug as the swarmctl/hivectl fix, a third instance argus's review
didn't name but nix/checks.nix's hive-forge-docs freshness check (same
pattern as hivectl-docs/swarmctl-docs) caught in CI: the earlier
Contractions/Foreign/Auto batches edited docs/tools/forge-cli.md
directly instead of the clap #[arg(...)]/doc-comment strings in
hive-forge/src/main.rs and hive-forge/src/verbs/*.rs.

Applied the same 13 wording changes to source that the earlier commits
already made to the generated .md, matched 1:1 against
'git diff origin/main HEAD -- docs/tools/forge-cli.md' rather than
guessed. Several source doc comments feed two rendered sections each
(e.g. reaction.rs's one Add-variant doc renders under both
'issue reaction add' and 'pr reaction add', since both subcommands
share the same enum) -- one source fix, two generated-doc fixes.

Regenerated from the now-fixed source and confirmed byte-identical to
what's already committed (diff exit 0) -- source and generated output
are back in sync, same as the swarmctl/hivectl fix.

cargo clippy -p hive-forge --all-targets -- -D warnings and
scripts/check-doc-refs.sh both clean.

bc8f1b3cb8 fix: sync generated CLI docs with their clap source strings
docs/tools/swarmctl-cli.md and docs/tools/hivectl-cli.md are generated
(nix/checks.nix's swarmctl-docs/hivectl-docs freshness checks diff a
fresh 'markdown-docs' run against the committed copy). The earlier
Contractions/Foreign fixes in this branch edited the generated
markdown directly instead of the clap #[arg(...)]/doc-comment strings
in swarmctl/src/main.rs and hivectl/src/cli.rs -- so CI's freshness
check would regenerate the docs from unfixed source and silently
undo the fix (found by argus's review).

Applied the exact same 13 wording changes to source (5 in
swarmctl/src/main.rs, 8 in hivectl/src/cli.rs) that the earlier commits
already made to the generated .md, matched 1:1 against
'git diff origin/main HEAD -- docs/tools/{swarmctl,hivectl}-cli.md'
rather than guessed. Regenerated both docs from the now-fixed source
and confirmed byte-identical to what's already committed (both
'diff <(binary markdown-docs) docs/tools/X-cli.md' exit 0) -- source
and generated output are back in sync.

scripts/check-doc-refs.sh both clean.

ec9ee866db docs: fix merge-conflict fallout + a fresh Contractions/Auto typo from the merge
Resolving the 5 branches (contractions/foreign/auto/quotes/hyphens) onto
current main surfaced a few things beyond plain conflict markers:

- docs/scheduler/coordinator.md had 'auto-noops' turned into the
  malformed 'autanoops' by the auto-hyphens batch -- fixed to
  'autonoops'.
- main had moved (new prose, some option renames) since the batches
  were generated against an older commit, so a handful of merge
  conflicts needed both sides combined (keep main's updated content,
  reapply the lint fix on top) rather than a plain pick-one resolution.
- A few genuinely new Microsoft.Contractions hits had appeared in the
  moved-forward main and in content pulled in wholesale during
  conflict resolution -- fixed the 2 real ones
  (docs/integrations/forge.md, docs/turn-loop/claude-invocation.md).
- The other 'new' Contractions hits vale reports now
  (docs/integrations/forge.md:281, docs/tools/forge.md:260,
  docs/tools/hivectl.md:239, docs/tools/swarmctl-cli.md:28,
  docs/web-ui/dashboard.md:457) are a side effect of the Foreign
  batch's own 'i.e.' -> 'that is' substitution: vale's Contractions
  rule can't tell 'that is' used as a copula (contractable) from 'that
  is' used as a parenthetical clarifier (not contractable, would break
  the sentence -- 'that's it raced the merge' isn't English). Left
  those alone; noted in the PR description.

Final vale count on this branch: the only Microsoft.Contractions/
Foreign/Auto/Quotes/Hyphens hits left are the known legitimate skips
(ALL-CAPS/bold emphasis, vale's own false positives, and this
Foreign/Contractions interaction) -- verified with a fresh vale run.

3f41e7a09c docs: drop redundant hyphens from -ly adverb + adjective/participle compounds
Fixes 22 of 23 Microsoft.Hyphens hits: an adverb ending in -ly doesn't
need a hyphen to the word it modifies (minimally scoped, currently
running, deliberately stopped, ...) -- the -ly ending already
unambiguously signals it's modifying the following word, so the
hyphen is redundant per Microsoft style.

Left one hit alone: docs/web-ui/dashboard.md's 'checked-not-originally-
active' is a single 4-word compound designator (parallel structure
with 'unchecked-was-active' right before it in the same sentence,
describing a diffing algorithm's two possible states), not an
ordinary -ly-adverb modifier -- dropping just the one hyphen vale
flagged would have broken the compound into a dangling
'checked-not-originally active' fragment. Also rewrote
docs/scheduler/coordinator.md's 'still-fully-queued' as a predicate
('DAGs that are still fully queued') rather than leaving a similar
broken partial-hyphen chain, since 'still' and 'fully' are both plain
adverbs with no reason to hyphenate at all once dehyphenated
consistently.

Verified via vale: only the one deliberately-left hit remains.

4f2d1d281a docs: fix Microsoft.Foreign hits (e.g./i.e. -> for example/that is)
Substitutes 'for example' for 'e.g.' and 'that is' for 'i.e.' per
Microsoft style, with no comma after the replacement -- this repo
never puts a comma after e.g./i.e. either, so the substituted phrase
matches that house style instead of vale's literal 'for example,'
suggestion.

Covers all 77 real hits (72 from the initial vale pass + 5 more of the
same pattern found on a follow-up vale run). None of the flagged
instances were sentence-initial, so there's no capitalization concern
here.

Verified via a fresh vale run: 0 remaining Microsoft.Foreign hits.

ff377b0dee docs: fix capitalization losses + one text corruption from the contractions pass
Review pass on top of the previous commit (85a94671) turned up three
real issues its own vale-only verification didn't catch:

- 'has not' -> 'hasn't' fired inside 'has nothing', corrupting
  docs/swarm/README.md into 'hasn'thing to say upward'. Restored
  'has nothing'.
- ~44 hits where the original text was genuinely sentence-initial
  ('It is', 'That is', 'They are', 'What is', 'Do not', ...) got
  contracted in lowercase, silently de-capitalizing the start of a
  sentence. Checked each one's real surrounding text and capitalized
  the ones that needed it.
- Confirmed (by reading the actual text, not just trusting vale) that
  the 3 remaining 'is not'/'has not'/'it is' hits after those fixes are
  vale's own false positives: it matches these as a bare substring with
  no trailing word boundary, so it also fires on 'is nothing', 'has
  nothing', and the already-correct 'it isn't'. Left those alone --
  there's no real issue in the text.

Re-verified with a fresh vale run: the remaining 17 hits are exactly
the union of the 14 legitimate ALL-CAPS/bold-emphasis skips from the
first commit and these 3 false positives. Full accounting in
/agents/iris/state/haiku-batches/contractions-report.md.

78021ce982 docs: fix 329 Microsoft.Contractions hits with proper safety checks
Apply contraction fixes across ~40 doc files (setup, integrations, lifecycle,
networking, scheduler, swarm, tools, trust-boundary, UI, etc.). Skipped 14 hits:
- 10 where words appear in ALL CAPS for deliberate emphasis (is NOT, do NOT, etc.)
- 4 where text could not be safely located due to markdown formatting or column position

Applied via systematic scan with checks for fenced code blocks, inline code spans,
and intentional caps. Preserves sentence-initial capitalization throughout.

It cannot reach host-loopback services — the core dashboard at `127.0.0.1:7000` and the raw forge port are unreachable from CI. Requires `deploy.forgejo.behindGateway = true`.

- **Non-ephemeral**: runner credentials persist across restarts (written to container's stateDir on first registration, reused thereafter).
- **Sandbox fallback**: nspawn containers can't create user-namespaces, so nix's sandboxing would always fail. Module sets `nix.settings.sandbox-fallback = true` in the container — nix builds run unsandboxed (safe because the container is already isolated). See `docs/process/gotchas.md`.
- **Credential isolation**: the forge admin token (`forge-core-token`) never enters the container. hive-c0re holds it and performs all forge API calls (runner validation + registration-token mint, in `forge/ci_runner.rs`); via hive-priv it writes only the runner registration token to the host env-file `/run/hive-ci/runner-token`, which the container bind-mounts read-only.

### What unsandboxed builds mean
nspawn containers cannot create user-namespaces, so `nix.settings.sandbox-fallback = true` is set in the container. This means every `nix build` (and `nix flake check`) runs **without a build sandbox** — the build process has full access to the container filesystem, network, and any bind-mounts during the build phase.
nspawn containers can't create user-namespaces, so `nix.settings.sandbox-fallback = true` is set in the container. This means every `nix build` (and `nix flake check`) runs **without a build sandbox** — the build process has full access to the container filesystem, network, and any bind-mounts during the build phase.
A malicious `default.nix` or build script in a PR can therefore:
- **Make arbitrary network requests** to any address reachable from the container. The container runs in its own netns behind the hive bridge, so it reaches the forge only through the gateway (`http://<forge.domain>`, public/read endpoints — no admin credentials) and **cannot** reach host-loopback services: the unauthenticated core dashboard at `127.0.0.1:7000` and the raw forge port are off-limits (bridge→127.0.0.0/8 is dropped).

- **Write to the container filesystem**, including corrupting the runner's state dir or `.runner` credentials.
The core admin token (`forge-core-token`) is **not** bind-mounted into the container. It is held and used only by hive-c0re on the host (`forge/ci_runner.rs`), which mints per-runner registration tokens; only that registration token reaches the container's env-file. A build process can still reach forge over the network, but cannot use the admin token to issue privileged API calls.
