# hive-types

Foundational shared **newtypes** for the hyperhive workspace. A zero-dependency
(bar `serde`) leaf crate, so every wire-type crate (`hive-sh4re`,
`hive-host-sock`, `hive-core-agent-sock`) and both binaries (`hive-c0re`,
`hivectl`) can share them without cross-crate coupling and without growing
`hive-sh4re`.

## What's here

- **`Ident`** — a validated agent-name newtype. Typing agent-name fields as
  `Ident` (rather than bare `String`) gets serde-validated parsing **at the
  socket boundary for free**: a malformed name is rejected at deserialize time
  instead of flowing into a handler that has to re-validate by hand.

The crate is deliberately a leaf with the smallest possible dependency footprint
so anything in the workspace can depend on it. See `docs/conventions.md`
("identity = socket") for how agent identity is modelled across the sockets.
