The swarm can already tell whether an agent is alive — the `agent-status`
KV bucket republishes once a minute — but not what it is doing right now.
A header bar wants the second thing, and a minute-old answer to "is this
agent thinking" is the wrong answer most of the time it is read.
`hive-agent` now publishes a turn-state header to
`$SWARM.agent-state.<hive>.<agent>`, a core subject beside the terminal
rows it already sends. It goes out **on transition, not on a timer**: the
publisher watches the event bus, rebuilds the header, and sends only when
the serialised result differs from the last one it sent — so a second
periodic writer, which is the problem this exists to fix, is not what
replaces the bucket.
The payload is the published contract a swarm-level renderer is written
against, so the test asserts on the serialised JSON keys rather than on
Rust field names. Two fields deliberately depart from the per-agent web
UI's `StateSnapshot`: `turn_state_since` is an ISO 8601 UTC string rather
than unix seconds, matching the sibling `$SWARM.term` subject's stamp, and
`agent_state` carries the swarm's own `AgentState` vocabulary rather than
a `paused` boolean, so a reader can compare actual against wanted without
translating. `turn_state` and `agent_state` stay two separate fields:
neither vocabulary contains the other's values.
Swarm-side, `GET /api/agents/{name}/state/stream` relays the subject as
SSE, resolving the agent's hive at request time exactly as the terminal
stream does and passing the bytes through without parsing them.
The broker grant is a second `--agent-publish-subject` rather than a
widening of the existing one, so the terminal family and the header family
stay independently revocable, and a `module-eval` arm pins the rendered
flag and its argument together — the doubled dollar included, since a
single one expands to nothing in `ExecStart` and yields a grant that
matches nothing.

hive-agent
The in-container harness serve-loop binary — one instance per agent.
Long-polls the broker inbox and drives one claude --print turn per
inbox message, over the hive-claude driver. There is one role here
(agent); the Surface trait + AgentSurface zero-sized type tag keep
the turn loop generic and testable for future roles without a
parallel copy of the loop.
When to use it
You don't call into this crate from elsewhere — it's the top-level
binary systemd starts per agent container. Look here when you need to
understand or change: what happens between "a message lands in the
inbox" and "claude produces a reply", how login/auth is bootstrapped,
how the per-agent web UI is served, or how turn/event stats get
recorded. Architecture detail lives in
docs/turn-loop/; this README is just the
map of the module tree.
Shape
turn.rs— the turn-loop policy layer: renders the system prompt + MCP config, invokeshive-claude, classifies the outcome, and feeds the event/turn-stats sinks.client.rs— broker client (inbox poll, ack, send) speaking thehive-sh4rewire protocol.login.rs/login_session.rs— first-run and session-resume auth flow for theclaudeCLI.mcp_config.rs— renders the per-turn--mcp-config/--allowedToolsblob from tool groups + capabilities.todos.rs/reminders.rs/todo_server.rs— the harness-local loose-ends v2 stores (sqlite-backed) and the in-agent socket server extra MCP daemons +hive-agent-mcpdial into for todo/reminder ops.vacuum.rs— periodic sqlite vacuum sweep for the harness-local stores.events.rs/turn_stats.rs/stats.rs— append-only event sink and per-turn telemetry recording (context usage, cost, tool favorites) underharness/.forge_notify.rs— subscribes to forge notifications and wakes the harness on new activity.prompt.rs— system-prompt renderer (persona + tool docs + environment facts).web_ui/— the per-agent dashboard (terminal pane, status, schedules) served over the built-inhive-agentweb port.paths.rs— canonical path resolution for state/harness dirs and the harness-local sqlite files.
Sibling: hive-agent-mcp (the MCP server this loop points claude
at every turn). Both are described together in
docs/turn-loop/::Harness binary shape.
