Six places in the tree hand-rolled the same connect / write one JSON line / read one JSON line back. Two of them — the harness serve loop's client and the MCP server's — were byte-identical apart from a six-line wrapper, ~145 lines of literal copy-paste. The other four each reimplemented a subset, and the subsets had drifted: some named the socket path in their errors and some did not, one classified transient against fatal failures and the rest retried nothing at all, two drained the response and two decoded it. That duplication was defended when the daemons were split out, on the grounds that a daemon's socket etiquette should stay visible in the crate that depends on it. The etiquette genuinely does differ. The code does not, and five copies is where "each daemon documents its own etiquette" stops paying for itself. `hive-sock-client` now owns the transport once, generic over the request and response types so it is protocol-agnostic: the host-served control socket and the harness's in-agent socket both use it with their own wire-type crates. The two real differences become values instead of forks. Retry is `Retry::RideOutRestart` (2/4/8/16/30s, sized to ride out a service restart) for callers with no natural retry of their own, or `Retry::None` for callers already inside a poll loop where the poll interval is the retry — and the reason each caller picked one is a comment at the call site rather than a reimplementation. The response is either decoded (`request`) or half-closed and drained (`notify`, where the drain exists so the server's write-back doesn't land on a closed socket). Whether a failure propagates or is logged and swallowed stays at the call site, because that is the caller's choice and not a property of the transport. Errors always name the socket path now, everywhere. That detail is load-bearing: a permission problem on a socket that reads as "is the daemon running?" sends the operator to fix the wrong thing. The transient-against-fatal enum is gone rather than moved. Serialising happens before the retry loop and deserialising after it, so only connect, I/O and short-read failures can reach the loop at all — a deterministic failure is now unretryable by construction instead of by classification. It is deliberately a new crate and not part of `hive-agent-sock`. The `*-sock` crates are pure wire types by convention — `hive-agent-sock` depends on serde and nothing else — and the two largest copies talk to the host socket, whose types live in a different crate entirely. A transport in either wire-type crate would drag tokio into it and point the wrong way besides. No wire-format change: same JSON line in, same line out. |

hive-forge-notify
Per-agent Forgejo notification poller: a long-running daemon
(hive-forge-notify) that watches the agent's unread notification list
and turns each thread into a todo the harness surfaces in
get_loose_ends. This is why an agent wakes up when someone comments
on its issue or requests its review.
When to use it
Look here when changing what a forge notification says when it
reaches an agent, or when it reaches one at all: the poll cadence, the
self-echo filter, the comment / review / new-item / state-change
wrapper formats, body-excerpt truncation, and the assigned-issue
rollup all live in notify.rs. The behaviour contract — activation
gates, filtering rules, the review-request override — is documented in
docs/forge.md, "Notification poller".
Shape
One bin, three modules:
main.rs— argument-free entry point. ReadsHIVE_AGENT_SOCKET, initialises tracing, hands off tonotify::run.notify.rs— the poller: forge client setup, the 30s loop, the formatters, mark-read, and the in-process delivery-dedupe map.todo_client.rs— one-shot JSON-line client for the harness's in-agent socket. No retry schedule of its own; see the module doc.
Why it is a separate process
It used to be a tokio::spawn inside the hive-agent serve loop. It
never needed anything from the serve loop except a socket path, and
running it in-process meant a harness restart also took forge
notifications down, and linked the whole forge/HTTP dependency tree
(forgejo-api, reqwest, time, url) into the serve-loop binary.
It is now a sibling daemon alongside hive-bash-daemon and
hive-matrix-daemon, with the same contract: it talks to the harness
over the in-agent todo socket and nowhere else.
Forge's own read-state is the durable, cross-rebuild record of what has been delivered — there is no persisted cursor to migrate or corrupt. A restarted poller re-scans only the genuinely-still-unread set, which is tiny by construction because delivery marks the thread read.
