müde 75e7faff0c docs: full sync ahead of compaction + config-management overhaul

readme: manager mcp surface picks up update; operator-surface
recap mentions /model + last-turn + model chip + the three
collapsibles (inbox / journald / agent.nix).

web-ui.md: details-restore-key story under shape; port-conflict
banner mention on containers; agent.nix viewer alongside journald;
notifications use per-event tags + console.debug log on
block/show; deny endpoint takes note=<reason>; data-prompt /
data-prompt-field generalisation noted.

conventions.md: data-prompt and snapshot/restoreOpenDetails added
to the async-forms section.

persistence.md: operator_questions row picks up deadline_at (ttl)
column with a migration note.

todo.md: new 'Bugs' section captures the manager-question
not-rendering issue with three suspect paths to chase.

claude.md scratchpad rewritten as a clean handoff for the
compaction + the upcoming config-git overhaul. flags the
two-repo (proposed/ + applied/) split as the thing to
reconsider.

Conventions

Code-style and process expectations across the workspace. Most of these exist because something already went wrong without them.

Naming

Containers are length-bounded by nixos-container (≤ 11 chars).
Sub-agents are h-<name> with <name> ≤ 9 chars.
The manager is hm1nd (no h- prefix, fixed name).
MAX_AGENT_NAME in lifecycle.rs enforces the cap.
Per-agent web UI port = WEB_PORT_BASE + FNV1a(name) % WEB_PORT_RANGE (8100..8999); manager fixed at 8000; dashboard cfg.dashboardPort (default 7000).

Identity = socket

There are no auth tokens on the per-agent unix sockets. The socket path identifies the principal; perms come from "who has the bind-mount." A sub-agent only sees its own /run/hive/mcp.sock; the manager has access to its privileged socket; hive-c0re owns the host admin socket.

Wire protocol

JSON line-delimited over unix sockets in both directions (host admin / manager / agent). SSE streams (/messages/stream, /events/stream) are text/event-stream. Request/response types live in hive-sh4re — change them in one place.

Async forms

Dashboard + per-agent mutating forms carry data-async; a delegated submit listener in assets/app.js intercepts, shows a spinner, POSTs application/x-www-form-urlencoded (axum's Form extractor rejects multipart), calls refreshState() on success. New mutating forms should add data-async and optionally data-confirm (for a JS-side confirm() prompt) or data-prompt="…" (for a window.prompt() whose answer goes into a hidden input named by data-prompt-field, default note).

refreshState defers automatically when document.activeElement sits inside a managed section so the operator's typing isn't lost; collapsible <details data-restore-key=…> survive the re-render via snapshotOpenDetails / restoreOpenDetails.

`rebuild` is the reconcile verb

lifecycle::rebuild idempotently rewrites /etc/nixos-containers/<C>.conf (PRIVATE_NETWORK=0, clears HOST_ADDRESS / LOCAL_ADDRESS, sets EXTRA_NSPAWN_FLAGS), regenerates applied/<name>/flake.nix, writes the systemd limits drop-in, then nixos-container update + stop + start.

Anything that changes per-container state on the host should be re-applied here so a manual ↻ R3BU1LD from the dashboard is sufficient to recover.

Actions are factored

approve / deny / destroy (and the lifecycle helper) live in actions.rs / dashboard.rs. The admin socket and the dashboard POST handlers both call into them so the two surfaces never drift.

Commit messages

Short, lowercase, no Co-Authored-By trailer. Imperative mood, no period. Body explains why if non-obvious; otherwise the subject alone is fine. Wrap at ~72 cols.

Commit before test

Stage and commit when work looks ready, then run validation (cargo check, nix flake check, real deploy). Failures get a follow-up commit rather than an amend. The commit history is the work log; rewriting it loses signal.
