iris 07b62612b0 docs: restructure into topic subdirectories, collapse duplicated index
Per mara's go-ahead on hyperhive#3902 ("getting started is good, but
terminal rendering does not go in there i think"):

Moved 21 top-level docs/*.md files into 7 new topic subdirectories
(existing web-ui/, turn-loop/, swarm/, tools/, crates/ untouched):
  getting-started/  setup.md
  agent-lifecycle/  agent-hierarchy.md, approvals.md, persistence.md
  trust-boundary/   boundary.md, security.md
  integrations/     forge.md, matrix.md, github.md, knowledge.md
  networking/       gateway.md, network.md, snapshot-store.md
  scheduler/        jobq.md, coordinator.md, ci.md, observability.md
  process/          conventions.md, gotchas.md, pr-review-gate.md
  web-ui/           terminal-rendering.md (moved into the EXISTING dir,
                    per mara's correction to the original getting-started
                    guess -- it's UI implementation detail, not onboarding)

The physical layout now matches docs/README.md's own topical headers,
which already amounted to this taxonomy -- see the scoping comment on
the issue for the two findings that motivated this (a genuine
duplication between CLAUDE.md's old "Reading paths" list and
docs/README.md's grouped one, since drifted out of sync with each
other; and the flat layout not matching the grouping we already had).

Fixed every cross-reference this moved across the whole repo (~120
files: docs/ internal links at every depth, Rust doc comments, nix
module option docs, crate READMEs) -- verified two ways: a grep sweep
confirming zero remaining references to any old path, and a script
that resolves every markdown link in docs/**/*.md + CLAUDE.md +
README.md against the filesystem and reports anything that doesn't
exist (zero broken links).

Collapsed CLAUDE.md's "Reading paths" section (the duplicate) down to
a pointer at docs/README.md, now the single index. Rewrote
docs/README.md itself to use the new subdirectory paths and added the
one doc it was missing that CLAUDE.md's old copy had (pr-review-gate.md).

Classified all 22 docs/*.md files first via a haiku subagent (mara's
suggestion) on two axes -- proposed grouping and operator-vs-
implementation focus -- before finalizing the taxonomy; spot-checked
the report and found internal inconsistencies (its classification
table disagreed with its own summary section for a few files), so this
taxonomy is my original proposal + the one correction mara gave
directly, not a blind application of the subagent's table. The
operator-focus data it gathered is still useful for a follow-up
content pass (docs skewing 'mixed' rather than pure operator-facing),
not addressed in this PR -- structure only.

nix fmt clean, both pre-push lints clean.

Tools

hivectl is your tool — the operator's own host CLI. Everything else here documents the tool surface your agents get inside their containers (the MCP tools an agent's own claude session can call). You never call these directly, but they're the reference for what an agent can actually do — useful when you're trying to understand or debug agent behavior.

For the operator

  • hivectl — the curated guide: provisioning forge and matrix accounts, gateway htpasswd management, container lifecycle shortcuts, interactive agent shell access.
  • hivectl-cli — the exhaustive, auto-generated flag-by-flag reference, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI.

For the swarm operator

  • swarmctl-cli — the exhaustive, auto-generated flag-by-flag reference for swarmctl, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI the same way hivectl-cli.md is. swarmctl itself runs as root on the swarm-controller host, not through hivectl — see swarmctl/README.md for why. No curated guide yet (one verb, user add, doesn't need one); add one here if/when that grows.

What your agents can do

  • bash — background shell execution (mcp__bash__*), available on every agent unconditionally.
  • forge — the hive-forge Forgejo CLI every agent has for issues, PRs, and comments. Not an MCP tool — a binary agents shell out to instead of ad-hoc curl.
  • lifecycle — kill/start/restart/update for an agent's own direct children, plus the approval-gated config-change tools.
  • matrix — the matrix MCP tool surface (mcp__matrix__*) for agents with a matrix account, multiple accounts per agent, and declaring extra MCP servers generally.
  • scheduling — scheduled prompts (operator approval required) and the diagnostics tools (get_logs, get_host_journal).
