atlas 199afa41c8 matrix: publish the appservice token from the swarm, not just read it
`glue-matrix-bao-token.nix` has read
`secret/swarm/hives/<hive>/matrix/appservice-token` since it landed, but
nothing ever wrote that path. The store was empty in every deployment, so
every read degraded to "keep what activation minted" and each hive stayed
the origin of a value the swarm has to agree on — two hives never
converged.

`swarm-secret-publish` is now the producer. It already holds a store
identity, already writes under the hive prefix, and already runs per
hive in the roster, so the mint is a third loop beside the two OIDC
copies rather than a second shape of this unit.

Idempotence comes from a record of its own, not from the store: this
principal is granted `create`/`update` with no `read`, so it cannot ask
whether a hive already has a token. It keeps what it minted under
`StateDirectory=` (0700 dir, 0600 file) and mints only when that file is
missing or empty; the `put` runs every time, because re-putting the same
bytes changes nothing for a reader while a mint whose publish failed must
not be left as a token this host holds and no hive can reach.

The token never becomes a nix literal and never reaches argv: the mint
redirects into a file, and the publish hands bao `value=@<path>` so bao
opens it itself — the same handling the OIDC loops use.

`hive-matrix.nix`'s activation mint stays as the genuine first-boot
fallback. It already fires only when the token file is absent, so it
cannot clobber a value the store delivered; `hs_token` has no swarm half
and is still minted there for real.

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 autogenerated 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?getting-started/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, terminal-rendering) 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).

Agent lifecycle

Trust boundary & security

Accounts & integrations

  • How do per-agent forge accounts work? What does forge_notify poll, and how does it format wake messages?integrations/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?integrations/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's the PAT injected?integrations/github.md (operator content up top; the gh/git-push + notification-poller mechanics are in a collapsed "Implementation" section at the bottom).
  • What's /knowledge? How does the hive-wide knowledge repo sync, and how do I contribute a document?integrations/knowledge.md.
  • What does hivectl do? Provisioning, gateway users, container shells?tools/hivectl.md (the curated guide); tools/hivectl-cli.md for the exhaustive, autogenerated flag reference.

Networking & swarms

  • What nginx vhosts does the gateway serve? How does matrix discovery work?networking/gateway.md.
  • How does DNS resolution work in agent containers? What's the bridge network for?networking/network.md.
  • How do I connect two hives into a swarm?swarm/ (peer hives, TLS trust).
  • Where do agent snapshots go? How does the swarm's btrfs receive endpoint authenticate a pushing hive?networking/snapshot-store.md.

Scheduler, CI, observability

  • what's the job queue, as a general idea (not hive-c0re specifics)?scheduler/jobq.md — operator-facing, no implementation detail.
  • How does the rebuild queue work? What are the concrete step kinds, queue sources, scheduler internals?scheduler/coordinator.md.
  • How does the CI runner work? What's the autoregistration flow?scheduler/ci.md.
  • How do I export Claude Code metrics (tokens, cost, tool calls) to Prometheus/Grafana?scheduler/observability.md.

Crate reference

  • What does a specific Rust crate do, on its own terms?crates/ — every workspace crate's own README.md, one level up from source; the crate itself is still the source of truth, this is just a walkable mirror.
