atlas 433b294099 refactor(nix): swarm.peers becomes swarm.hives, a directory of every hive
One attrset describing every hive in the swarm including this one,
identical on every host, with hiveName selecting which entry is us.
"My peers" is derived (swarm.peerHives) rather than declared.

Every field in the old per-host peer list was intrinsic to the hive it
described, never to the pair -- so the list was a directory each host
kept its own copy of. Beyond the deduplication it removes a bug class:
two hosts could hold different endpoints for the same third hive with
nothing to detect the disagreement.

Drops the per-hive caCert. Trust inside a swarm derives from the swarm
root, which every hive chains to. What that genuinely removes is
trusting a hive whose root this swarm does not own -- a cross-swarm
problem that wants a mechanism of its own, not a field that happened to
work.

The matrix container's certificateFiles block goes with it and could
NOT be migrated: that list is read at build time and the swarm root is
a runtime file (its key must never enter the store), so there is no
build-time name to put there. caCert being a nix path was precisely
what made it the build-time distribution channel. Agents are unaffected
-- hive-tls folds the root into the hive trust bundle and the meta
renderer embeds that one file. Tracked separately.

Migration is an assertion plus warnings, not a rename: hives is peers
union {self}, and the set gains a member no existing config has written
down. A rename migrates a name and a default can re-root a meaning;
neither can conjure a new member. The warning explains, the self-entry
assertion stops the build.

hivectl

The operator-facing host CLI. A thin client for the hive-c0re daemon — speaks the host admin socket protocol (hive-host-sock) and does not link the daemon crate. Container lifecycle, the approval queue, and provisioning verbs all forward to the daemon and need it running; a few (wg/peer-config, choom) work off local host state instead.

When to use it

Reach for this crate when adding an operator-run host command — agents talk to the daemon over their own MCP tool surface (hive-agent-mcp), not this binary. hivectl is what a human operator (or a host-side script) runs.

Shape

One module per subcommand family; main.rs is just the clap parse + dispatch:

  • agents.rs — container lifecycle (start/stop/create/kill/rebuild/restart/…).
  • approvals.rs — the config/init-config/meta-input approval queue.
  • dag_progress.rs — rebuild-queue progress rendering.
  • power.rs — restart/start/stop at the container level.
  • choom.rs — drop into an interactive claude session in a container.
  • forge.rs, matrix.rs, github.rs, gateway.rs — per-integration account/token provisioning.
  • wg.rs — WireGuard mesh helpers.
  • subvol.rs — btrfs state-subvolume ops.
  • quota.rs, util.rs, completions.rs, open.rs — shared helpers, shell completions, browser-open.
