`docs/` was reorganised into topic subdirectories and the references to it were not moved with it. Thirteen distinct paths and three relative links no longer resolved, spread across nix, css, html, js, markdown and .prettierignore — a stale pointer is not a markdown problem, it is wherever someone wrote a path down. Each mapping resolved to exactly one target. `docs/matrix.md` was the sole ambiguous basename: .prettierignore lists `docs/tools/matrix.md` separately and that entry still resolves, so the stale one is the integrations doc. The three relative links were each one `../` too deep — from `<crate>/src/` two levels reach the repo root. `hive-agent/src/login.rs` already had the correct form, in the same crate, at the same depth. .prettierignore is repointed rather than dropped, though nothing in the tree runs prettier: no treefmt entry, no CI job, no package script. Whether that config should exist at all is a separate question from whether it names files that do. |

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? →
getting-started/setup.md(first-runhivectlbootstrap). - 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
- How do config changes flow from manager to operator to container? →
agent-lifecycle/approvals.md(two-step spawn, approval state machine,flake.lockvalidation). - What state survives destroy / purge / restart? →
agent-lifecycle/persistence.md. - Who can do what to whom — agent hierarchy and privilege? →
agent-lifecycle/agent-hierarchy.md. - 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.
Trust boundary & security
- What's the operator/agent trust boundary? What's a capability? →
trust-boundary/boundary.md. - Agent trust model, prompt-injection threat model, credential
isolation? →
trust-boundary/security.md.
Accounts & integrations
- How do per-agent forge accounts work? What does
forge_notifypoll, and how does it format wake messages? →integrations/forge.md(the hive's own Forgejo);tools/forge.mdfor thehive-forgeCLI verbs agents actually call. - How does the matrix-tuwunel container work? Multiple accounts per
agent? →
integrations/matrix.md(the homeserver);tools/matrix.mdfor the MCP tool surface andhyperhive.matrixAccounts. - How do I give an agent a GitHub account (
gh+git push)? How is the PAT injected? →integrations/github.md. - What is
/knowledge? How does the hive-wide knowledge repo sync, and how do I contribute a document? →integrations/knowledge.md. - What does
hivectldo? Provisioning, gateway users, container shells? →tools/hivectl.md(the curated guide);tools/hivectl-cli.mdfor the exhaustive, auto-generated 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 receiveendpoint authenticate a pushing hive? →networking/snapshot-store.md.
Scheduler, CI, observability
- What is 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 auto-registration 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 ownREADME.md, one level up from source (hyperhive#3051); the crate itself is still the source of truth, this is just a walkable mirror.
Process & conventions
- Naming, commit style, wire protocol, the
data-asyncpattern? →process/conventions.md. - Why does the nspawn flag look like that? →
process/gotchas.md(bind mounts, conf flags, other NixOS/nspawn quirks). - What does a PR review verdict actually gate? →
process/pr-review-gate.md.
