atlas bed7ae6d5a docs: a config change is a PR from a clone, not an edit in place 
Seven places described an authoring flow that does not exist: the
manager editing and committing a child's config in the bind-mounted
config dir. mara, on the snapshot issue: "the pr workflow is the main
one, anything else is legacy … the config dir in agent container is
read only copy to see own config … changes need to go through local
clone and via forge".

Two of the seven are the request_init_config MCP tool description and
its args struct, which are rendered into the system prompt of every
agent holding the approvals tool group. A wrong tool description is not
a stale comment; it is an instruction the whole hive reads as fact,
which is why the claim kept being repeated back.

The init tool creates the repo and seeds it. Nothing else. Tailoring
the seeded template is not a separate mechanism - it is the ordinary
config-change flow, a PR reviewed like any other.

Prose only; the code already implements the PR flow (an approval's
commit_ref is a PR number). Where a doc justified the parent's
read-write mount on the child's config dir with the authoring model,
the justification is removed rather than replaced: that mount is a
defect tracked on its own issue, and it should not read as intentional
while it waits.

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-run hivectl bootstrap).
  • 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

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.lock validation).
  • 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_notify poll, and how does it format wake messages? → forge.md (the hive's own Forgejo); tools/forge.md for the hive-forge CLI verbs agents actually call.
  • How does the matrix-tuwunel container work? Multiple accounts per agent? → matrix.md (the homeserver); tools/matrix.md for the MCP tool surface and hyperhive.matrixAccounts.
  • How do I give an agent a GitHub account (gh + git push)? How is the PAT injected? → github.md.
  • What does hivectl do? Provisioning, gateway users, container shells? → tools/hivectl.md (the curated guide); tools/hivectl-cli.md for 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.md (peer hives, TLS trust).
  • Where do agent snapshots go? How does the swarm's btrfs receive endpoint authenticate a pushing hive? → snapshot-store.md.

Scheduler, CI, observability

  • How does the rebuild queue work? What are queue kinds and sources? → 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.

Process & conventions

  • Naming, commit style, wire protocol, the data-async pattern? → 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.
