atlas 38c222fadd feat(nix): move the forge host options under services.hyperhive.swarm
Forgejo is a swarm-global service, so its operator-facing host options
move to services.hyperhive.swarm.forge (and .swarm.forge.ci) as the
first of the namespace consolidation.

Existing hive configs keep evaluating: swarm-renames.nix maps every
moved leaf with mkRenamedOptionModule, which also emits a deprecation
warning naming both the old and new path, so an operator is told what to
rename rather than discovering it from a failed eval.

The per-agent hyperhive.forge.url does NOT move. It is a client pointer
at whatever forge an agent talks to - it shares a word with the service
and nothing else, and the two are already documented as separate option
surfaces.

Verified by evaluating the host module, since no Rust gate evaluates
nix: setting the old paths and reading the new ones yields the values
(httpPort 3999, ci.concurrency 7), and config.warnings carries the
rename notice.

# Uses a private network namespace (bridge-connected, not host netns)
# so CI build scripts cannot reach host-loopback services (dashboard,
# forge internal port, etc.) — a key defence against prompt-injection
# via PR nix builds. The runner reaches the forge via the
# gateway at `http://${forgeCfg.domain}` (resolved to the bridge IP
# via `networking.extraHosts`; gateway port 80 is always open on the
# bridge; `addSSL = true` means HTTP is served alongside HTTPS without
# a redirect). See docs/network.md.
# Container is non-ephemeral: the runner's registered credentials
# survive restarts (gitea-actions-runner writes them to its stateDir
# on first registration and reuses them on every subsequent start).
#
# Credential isolation: the forge admin token (`forge-core-token`)
# never enters the hive-ci container. hive-c0re holds it and performs
# all forge API calls (runner validation + registration-token mint,
# in `forge/ci_runner.rs`); via hive-priv it writes only the runner
# registration token to the host env-file `/run/hive-ci/runner-token`,
# which the container bind-mounts read-only. The container never has
# access to the wider admin token.
#
# Nix builds inside the container use the shared /nix/store (standard
# nixos-container behaviour) with sandbox-fallback = true, because
# nspawn containers can't create the user-namespaces that nix sandboxing
# requires. See docs/gotchas.md.

tightly coupled to the forge instance it registers against.
Disabled by default; the internal forge it registers against is
always present (mandatory), so enabling this is all that's needed.

hive-c0re's admin token no manual token provisioning needed.
Runner credentials are persisted in the container's state dir and
reused on every subsequent boot.

nix build while still bounding a stuck job; raise it (e.g.
`"3h"`) if you legitimately run jobs longer than that. Accepts a
Go duration string (`30m`, `1h`, `2h30m`). Note: this is
enforced by the runner process, so it only fires while that
process is itself healthy.
