One commit rather than two because they are not independent: the UI's `enable` had the controller's as its literal default, so moving the controller alone would leave the UI's default naming an option that no longer exists. The UI keeps that derivation in its new home — it is a view onto the controller's state and reaches it over that daemon's unix socket, so the host running the controller is the host that can serve it. Three spellings had to move together for the UI, not one: the `default`, the `defaultText` shown in the options doc, and the description prose that names the old path in words. A grep for the option path finds the first two. The sweep also reached outside nix: `swarm-controller`'s crate README and its `//!` module doc both named the option, as did this repo's own CLAUDE.md and four pages under docs/. An option's name is API, and its documentation lives wherever someone thought to write it down. |

hyperhive docs
Depth reference for hyperhive — the substrate, not the pitch (that's the
top-level README / website).
Every page here stands alone; pick the one matching your task rather than
reading top to bottom. For the auto-generated NixOS options reference
(every services.hyperhive.* / hyperhive.* option, host and agent), see
the options site instead —
this tree is prose, that one's generated straight from the module
declarations.
Getting started
- Bringing a fresh hive online? →
setup.md(first-runhivectlbootstrap). - What does the dashboard look like, and how do I use it? →
web-ui/— the operator-facing starting point; its own sub-pages (shape,dashboard,agent,css-vars) go deeper into implementation. - What tools does an agent (or the operator) have available? →
tools/—hivectl(yours) plus every agent's MCP tool surface (bash, forge, lifecycle, matrix, scheduling).
Dashboard & agent UI internals
- How does the per-agent terminal classify + colour events? →
terminal-rendering.md.
Turn loop, config, approvals
- How does claude get its prompt, and what tools does it have? →
turn-loop/— the loop, binary shape, turn outcomes; sub-pages:claude-invocation,config,mcp. - How do config changes flow from manager to operator to container? →
approvals.md(two-step spawn, approval state machine,flake.lockvalidation). - What state survives destroy / purge / restart? →
persistence.md.
Trust boundary & security
- What's the operator/agent trust boundary? What's a capability? →
boundary.md. - Agent trust model, prompt-injection threat model, credential
isolation? →
security.md. - Who can do what to whom — agent hierarchy and privilege? →
agent-hierarchy.md.
Accounts & integrations
- How do per-agent forge accounts work? What does
forge_notifypoll, and how does it format wake messages? →forge.md(the hive's own Forgejo);tools/forge.mdfor thehive-forgeCLI verbs agents actually call. - How does the matrix-tuwunel container work? Multiple accounts per
agent? →
matrix.md(the homeserver);tools/matrix.mdfor the MCP tool surface andhyperhive.matrixAccounts. - How do I give an agent a GitHub account (
gh+git push)? How is the PAT injected? →github.md. - What does
hivectldo? Provisioning, gateway users, container shells? →tools/hivectl.md(the curated guide);tools/hivectl-cli.mdfor the exhaustive, auto-generated flag reference.
Networking & swarms
- What nginx vhosts does the gateway serve? How does matrix
discovery work? →
gateway.md. - How does DNS resolution work in agent containers? What's the
bridge network for? →
network.md. - How do I connect two hives into a swarm? →
swarm/(peer hives, TLS trust). - Where do agent snapshots go? How does the swarm's
btrfs receiveendpoint authenticate a pushing hive? →snapshot-store.md.
Scheduler, CI, observability
- What is the job queue, as a general idea (not hive-c0re specifics)? →
jobq.md— operator-facing, no implementation detail. - How does the rebuild queue work? What are the concrete step kinds,
queue sources, scheduler internals? →
coordinator.md. - How does the CI runner work? What's the auto-registration flow? →
ci.md. - How do I export Claude Code metrics (tokens, cost, tool calls) to
Prometheus/Grafana? →
observability.md.
Crate reference
- What does a specific Rust crate do, on its own terms? →
crates/— every workspace crate's ownREADME.md, one level up from source (hyperhive#3051); the crate itself is still the source of truth, this is just a walkable mirror.
Process & conventions
- Naming, commit style, wire protocol, the
data-asyncpattern? →conventions.md. - Why does the nspawn flag look like that? →
gotchas.md(bind mounts, conf flags, other NixOS/nspawn quirks). - What is
/knowledge? How does the hive-wide knowledge repo sync, and how do I contribute a document? →knowledge.md.
