atlas 1fc267b880 feat(otel): the collector's upstream exporter honours otel.protocol
The module hardcoded otlphttp, so a hive with protocol = "grpc" would
have had its agents' protocol respected end to end before the collector
and silently rewritten to HTTP after it. Splitting the path in two makes
the upstream half the one that has to keep honouring the option; the
agent half is pinned to the receiver's protocol and derived, not
configured.

# Hive-wide OTEL stats export. Set ONCE here at host level; the
# meta-flake renderer (`hive-c0re/src/meta.rs::otel_config`) reads the
# HYPERHIVE_OTEL_* env exported off hive-c0re's unit (see
# ./hive-c0re) and injects the matching `hyperhive.otel.*` build-time
# config into EVERY agent (mirroring the CA-cert injection), so each
# agent's harness exports its own Claude Code stats directly to the
# collector. There is no per-agent opt-in — this is the single switch
# for the whole hive.

hive-wide export of every agent's Claude Code stats (token usage,

Absolute path to an operator-provided secret file whose contents
become `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS` (e.g.
`Authorization=Bearer <token>`). hive-c0re forwards this host
file into each agent container's credential store via
systemd-nspawn `--load-credential=otel-headers:<path>`; the inner
harness unit inherits it by name (`LoadCredential`), so the token
is never copied into the nix store, the generated config, a bind
mount, or argv. Must be absolute. Leave null if the endpoint
needs no auth header. A configured-but-missing file is skipped
with a log warning (OTEL still exports, without the auth header).

collector.enable = lib.mkOption {
type = lib.types.bool;
default = false;
description = ''
Run an OpenTelemetry collector on this host and have agents
export to it instead of straight to `endpoint`.
The point is the credential. Without this, every agent needs
`headersCredential` in order to talk to the upstream and the
harness delivers it into the agent's own `settings.json`, where
the agent can read it. With a collector the token stops at the
host: the collector holds it, agents send unauthenticated to a
bridge address only their own containers can reach.
It also makes the collector a dependency in the export path.
Today each harness exports directly, so telemetry survives
anything host-side being down. That property is traded for the
credential reduction; the collector is on the same host as the
agents, so the window is small, but it is not zero.
Off by default, and off means *absent*: no unit, no port, and
`endpoint` keeps its current meaning for every agent.
'';
};
collector.upstreamHeaderName = lib.mkOption {
type = lib.types.str;
default = "Authorization";
description = ''
Name of the HTTP header the collector sends upstream, whose
*value* comes from `headersCredential`.
The name is here and the value is not, and that split is forced
rather than chosen: the collector models exporter headers as a
static map, so rendering them means nix reading the value the
one thing `headersCredential` being a path exists to prevent.
A name is public, a value is not.
exactly one header is expressible this way. A credential
carrying several (`a=1,b=2`) would be read as a single value,
which is why the shape is a named header rather than an opaque
blob: a second header has to be *declared*, not smuggled.

Port the collector's OTLP/HTTP receiver listens on, at
`services.hyperhive.network.bridgeIp`. 4318 is the OTLP/HTTP
default.
The port is contributed to
`services.hyperhive.network.exposeHostPorts`, which opens it on
the bridge interface only so it is reachable from agent
containers and not from the outside world.

metricIntervalMs = lib.mkOption {

example = 10000;
description = ''
Metric export interval in milliseconds, set as
`OTEL_METRIC_EXPORT_INTERVAL` for every agent. Claude Code's
default is 60000 (60s). Leave `null` to use that default.
Each agent runs claude as a short-lived per-turn process; claude
force-flushes metrics on shutdown, so this is not required for
metrics to be exported, but a lower value gives more frequent
intermediate flushes within long turns. Cosmetic, not a
correctness knob.
