A webhook has exactly one target URL, so every hive registering one
against the shared internal/knowledge repository was last-writer-wins
rather than idempotent: all but the most recent silently stopped
receiving deliveries. The swarm controller holds the single registration
and now addresses an event to each hive over the queue instead.
This is a migration, not a deletion. Not registering any more fixes
nothing on a hive that has already run — the hook it created persists on
the forge, so the contention would survive on exactly the deployments
that have it while fresh installs looked fixed. The hive that created a
hook removes it.
It removes only its OWN, matched on the full URL rather than the
/webhook/knowledge suffix. A hook with that suffix and a different base
belongs to another hive, possibly one not yet upgraded, and deleting it
would break that hive's knowledge sync until it caught up. Reaping a
neighbour's registration is the behaviour being removed here; doing it
while fixing it would only invert the direction.
The predecessor did reap by suffix, to clear loopback hooks left by an
older single-hive layout. That was safe when a hive was alone on its
forge and is not safe now. The hive-side registrars also acted as reapers
of hooks under their own path, which is why the swarm hook lives under
/webhook/forge/; removing this registrar removes that reaper too.
Intended, and stated because no reviewer would infer it from the diff.
The receive endpoint goes with it. A live HMAC-verified
/webhook/knowledge that nothing can legitimately reach would tell the
next reader that this is how a hive learns about knowledge changes.
Docs move in the same commit: docs/swarm/README.md said two hooks exist
per swarm-wide repo and neither should be deleted, which is now true for
agent-configs and wrong for internal/knowledge — a half-correct
description being worse than an uncorrected one.
