atlas 30fa54cbc6 feat(swarmctl): add agent create, queueing the swarm-controller creation DAG 
`swarmctl agent create <name> --hive <hive>` POSTs `/api/agents` to
swarm-controller over the daemon's unix socket and prints the queued
job's node id.

It deliberately does not wait. The endpoint queues a DAG whose last node
*publishes* a deploy message; the hive's `hive-c0re` then converges on
its own clock, out of the controller's sight. So even a fully settled
graph would not mean the agent is up, and there is nothing this CLI
could wait for that would let it claim otherwise. Printing the id is
exactly what the response says and all of what it says.

Transport is a bare hyper HTTP/1.1 client handshaked onto a tokio
`UnixStream` via `hyper_util::rt::TokioIo` — the same crate family
`hivectl/src/watch.rs` and `hive-agent/src/web_ui/proxy.rs` already use,
all of it already workspace-pinned. The request/response shapes are a
local mirror rather than a shared crate: the controller's own types are
private to its binary and this crate does not link it, the same
separation `hivectl` keeps from `hive-c0re`.

Errors are reduced to one actionable line — the controller answers
RFC 9457 problem+json, so an unknown `--hive` reaches the operator as
the roster of hives that would have worked rather than a body dump.
Response `warnings` are printed when non-empty.

The nix module wraps the binary with `SWARM_CONTROLLER_SOCKET`, read
from the same `socketPath` the daemon binds.

Tools

hivectl is your tool — the operator's own host CLI. Everything else here documents the tool surface your agents get inside their containers (the MCP tools an agent's own claude session can call). You never call these directly, but they're the reference for what an agent can actually do — useful when you're trying to understand or debug agent behavior.

For the operator

  • hivectl — the curated guide: provisioning forge and matrix accounts, gateway htpasswd management, container lifecycle shortcuts, interactive agent shell access.
  • hivectl-cli — the exhaustive, autogenerated flag-by-flag reference, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI.

For the swarm operator

  • swarmctl-cli — the exhaustive, autogenerated flag-by-flag reference for swarmctl, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI the same way hivectl-cli.md is. swarmctl itself runs as root on the swarm-controller host, not through hivectl — see swarmctl/README.md for why. Two verb families today: user (authelia's subject store, edited in place) and agent create (queues the swarm-controller's creation job graph). No curated guide yet; add one here if/when that grows.

What your agents can do

  • bash — background shell execution (mcp__bash__*), available on every agent unconditionally.
  • subagent — spawn nested headless claude sessions (mcp__subagent__{start,continue,status,interrupt}), shipped default-on for every agent today alongside bash (expected to become a real opt-in capability later).
  • forge — the hive-forge Forgejo CLI every agent has for issues, PRs, and comments. Not an MCP tool — a binary agents shell out to instead of ad-hoc curl.
  • forge-cli — the exhaustive, autogenerated flag-by-flag reference for hive-forge, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI the same way hivectl-cli.md is.
  • lifecycle — kill/start/restart/update for the agents in a caller's own subtree, plus the approval-gated config-change tools.
  • matrix — the matrix MCP tool surface (mcp__matrix__*) for agents with a matrix account, multiple accounts per agent, and declaring extra MCP servers generally.
  • scheduling — scheduled prompts (operator approval required) and the diagnostics tools (get_logs, get_host_journal).
