atlas 21e3f626f4 hives read the forge through their own swarm-minted read account
swarm-controller now gives every hive in its directory a forge account,
`hive-<hive>`, in a new `hives` team of `agent-configs` (read on
`repo.code` + `repo.pulls`, every repo including later ones), and mints
one `read:repository` token named `swarm-hive` into the store at
`swarm/hives/<hive>/forge/token`. A five-minute pass queues a
`MintHiveForgeToken` node for a hive whose token is missing or no longer
matches the forge, whose account is missing, or whose team membership or
team settings drifted. A hive whose store or forge read failed is never
queued, so an outage cannot rotate every hive's token. The token decision
reuses `agent_token`'s classifier and replace step, now parameterised by
name and scopes.

An agent may be called `hive-<x>`. The hive account is created with
`hive-<hive>@hives.hyperhive.local` and the job refuses an account by that
name with any other email before it locks it down, adds it to the team or
mints for it; agent creation already refuses the hive's account by the
same email check.

The controller's bao policy gains the `swarm/hives/+/forge/token` leaf
(create/read/update), pinned by the bao-grants module-eval assertion. The
hive's own policy already reads `swarm/hives/<hive>/*`.

hive-c0re reads that token through `forge::reader_token()`, falling back
to the core token file when the store holds none, and uses it for:
fetching a merged config rev (swarm deploy, `hivectl forge
reconcile-config`), reseeding a purged `applied`, the meta-update
cascade's fast-forward, seeding `proposed` on first deploy, and finding
the PR that merged a refused rev. Those reads no longer require a local
`hive-forge` container. The `/knowledge` clone moves from the forge
host's boot sweep into the knowledge pull, so every hive clones it.

Posting the deploy-failure comment on that PR stays on the core token.

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 swarm online? → getting-started/setup.md (the hand steps after the first switch).
  • 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).

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 services.hyperhive.agent.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.
  • Who mints each credential, who reads it, and how does it rotate — and where's that shape headed? → swarm/credentials.md (current state, target state, and the progressive-enhancement rule); swarm/secrets.md for where each file lives today.
  • How does the secret store come up, who writes its grants, how's it sealed? → swarm/bao.md.
  • How does an agent get a prompt at set times, and why doesn't it fire twice after downtime? → swarm/schedules.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? How does it register? → 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.
