Third batch of hyperhive#4042's Passive pass (see #4098/#4099 for the
first two and the read-every-hit discipline this pass uses). 23 hits
across boundary.md (10) and security.md (13).
boundary.md, 2 of 10 rewritten:
- "Operator-authority actions ... are served by the core daemon and
only reachable via the gateway" -> "The core daemon serves
operator-authority actions ..., reachable only via the gateway" --
the actor was already named in the sentence, and the parallel
"Agent" bullet right below it is already active voice ("speaks only
for itself"), so the Operator bullet was the inconsistent one.
- "ownership set afterwards is reverted the next time any agent
changes" -> "and reverts any ownership set afterwards the next time
any agent changes" -- continues the same subject ("the `d`
re-applies ... and reverts ...") already established one clause
earlier, avoiding a subject switch entirely.
security.md, 6 of 13 rewritten (across 3 edits touching 6 flagged
locations):
- "A compromised/confused agent's reach ... is bounded by its own
account's scope" -> "Its own account's scope bounds a
compromised/confused agent's reach" -- matches the section's own
header ("Scoped tokens bound the blast radius"), which is already
active voice.
- "Two allow-listed root prefixes are accepted; all other paths are
rejected" -> "It accepts two allow-listed root prefixes and rejects
all other paths" -- continues "it" from the endpoint named one
sentence earlier.
- The container-allowlist paragraph (3 flagged locations: "is
validated", "are accepted", "are rejected") rewritten as one
consistent-subject passage with `hive-priv` as the actor throughout,
matching the neighboring bullets in the same subsection
("**Socket-activated** -- systemd starts hive-priv...", already
active voice) -- the passive version was the odd one out among
siblings, not the house style.
15 of 23 hits left alone. The recurring legitimate shapes, same
categories as #4098: predicate-adjective copulas that only look like
passives ("an agent is trusted code", "the agent is privileged" --
"trusted"/"privileged" modify the noun, there's no actor to name),
quoted rhetorical contrasts where the passive is doing real work (a
"wrong-framing" quote left passive on purpose, paired with an active
"right-framing" quote right after it), the "is tracked as/in X"
idiom (twice, same as #4098's precedent), and "X can't be Yed" /
negative-capability invariant statements (matches #4098's "No X is Y"
security-guarantee idiom). One deliberately left despite a nameable
antecedent ("hive-gateway's access is scoped [by ReloadGatewayNginx]
instead") -- lower-confidence rewrite than the others, left rather
than force it.
Verified: vale docs/trust-boundary before/after -- 23 -> 15
write-good.Passive hits, exactly the 8 rewritten, no other rule's hit
count moved (the TooWordy/Microsoft.Avoid/alex hits vale also reports
on these two files are pre-existing and out of scope for a
Passive-only pass; TooWordy's hits specifically already have a fix
queued in #4097, not duplicated here).
