The agents root is 0700 and owned by the daemon's user, so hivectl's client-side existence guard hit EACCES on traversal for anyone not root. It reported that as "this command needs root; re-run with sudo", which turned three verbs' pre-flight check into a permission error about the wrong thing: `choom`, `subvol upgrade` and `subvol snapshot create` all failed at the guard rather than at whatever they actually needed. The daemon runs as the owning user and already answers this question for its own provisioning paths, so expose it on the host socket as `AgentExists` and have hivectl ask. Operators reach that socket through the `hive-admin` group, so the guard now works without sudo. `choom` still needs root for `machinectl shell` — we ship no polkit rule granting those actions — so it now checks the effective uid and says so directly instead of failing later inside systemd's authorisation. |

hive-c0re
The unprivileged host daemon (runs as hive-core). Owns the sqlite
broker, the approval/question/schedule queues, the generic job-DAG
queue, container lifecycle, gateway/forge/matrix provisioning,
per-container stats, and the axum operator dashboard. Largest crate in
the workspace — bin-only, no separate lib.
When to use it
Host-level, cross-container orchestration: spawning/rebuilding/
destroying agent containers, the approval flow, dashboard-visible
state, provisioning per-agent forge/matrix/gateway accounts. Agent-side
behavior (turn loop, MCP tools) lives in hive-agent/hive-agent-mcp
instead — this daemon only talks to agents over the socket wire types
in hive-sh4re.
Shape
Cohesive clusters live in directory submodules, each re-exported at
the crate root (crate::broker::… keeps resolving regardless of which
subdirectory a module actually lives in). One line each — read the
module's own //! doc-comment for real detail, don't expect this file
to track it:
dashboard/— the operator dashboard (containers, approvals, schedules, questions, logs, topology).job_queue/— the job-DAG queue + desired-state reconciliation (docs/coordinator.md).lifecycle/—nixos-containerlifecycle + per-agent config flake generation.stores/— sqlite-backed stores (broker, queues, audit, power).workers/— background sweeps (crash watch, scheduled prompts, auto-update, knowledge sync).agent_config/— per-agent registries (tool groups, capabilities, resource limits, topology).stats/— dashboard metrics aggregation + OTEL export.socket_server/— the unix-socket request server shared by per-agent + manager sockets.forge/— optional Forgejo wiring (docs/forge.md).coordinator.rs— top-level wiring forserve.meta.rs,migrate.rs— the meta flake + schema/state migrations.matrix.rs,gateway_nginx.rs,webhook_secret.rs,priv_client.rs— matrix provisioning, gateway vhosts, webhook secrets, and thehive-privclient respectively.
