    # not here and not under `deploy.nats` either, where every other
    # service's build lives. `services.nats` upstream does not expose
    # one; it resolves `pkgs.nats-server` itself, so an option would be
    # ignored or need an overlay to mean anything, and an option that does
    # not control what it names is worse than its absence. Pin the build
    # with `nixpkgs.overlays` if you need to. (`deploy.nats.authPackage`
    # is a different thing: the callout responder, which IS ours.)

        Name every client reaches the queue on, as
        `tls://<domain>:<port>`, and the only name its certificate carries.
        A **sibling** of the swarm's other service names, for the reason
        {option}`services.hyperhive.swarm.bao.domain` gives.

        The host running the queue answers it through `gateway.localNames`.
        Every other hive resolves it through the operator's upstream DNS,
        which is where a multi-host swarm needs a record for it.

        Not in {option}`services.hyperhive.swarm.serviceDomains`. The gateway
        on the queue's host serves `https://<domain>/metrics` to the swarm
        collector, and in self-signed mode it serves the queue's own leaf
        there rather than the swarm-services one, so that host never waits
        for a services leaf (./swarm-nats.nix).

      description = ''
        TCP port the queue listens on. 4222 is upstream's default and
        sits outside hyperhive's claimed ranges (dashboard 7000, forge
        3000, every agent in 8100..8999 via FNV-1a hash).

        Opened on the bridge interface, for agent containers, and on
        `wg-hive` when this host is on the mesh, for other hives. Never
        host-wide. TLS only: a client that does not speak it is refused.

        Unlike {option}`monitorPort` and {option}`metricsPort`, the
        address is not what bounds who may use this port: the queue's
        `auth_callout` refuses every client it cannot identify.

      description = ''
        Port NATS serves its **monitoring** endpoint on, bound to
        loopback.

        Not a metrics endpoint: the server has no Prometheus format of its
        own. This serves `/varz`, `/connz`, `/routez` as JSON, and the
        exporter below is what translates it — which is why enabling the
        exporter without this produces a process that starts cleanly and
        scrapes nothing.

        ⚠️ Loopback, and the exporter is the only intended reader. The
        endpoint is unauthenticated and `/connz` names every connected
        client, so the address it binds is the whole access control. Do
        not widen it, and do not put it behind a gateway vhost expecting
        that to add one.

      default = 7777;
      description = ''
        Port the Prometheus exporter serves NATS's metrics on, bound to
        loopback. The gateway's `= /metrics` location on
        {option}`services.hyperhive.swarm.nats.domain` proxies it, behind
        the swarm collector's authelia check.

        ⚠️ This and {option}`monitorPort` are two more claims on a port
        space every swarm container shares — they run in this container but
        `privateNetwork = false`, so a collision with any other hyperhive
        service is a runtime coin toss over which process gets the port,
        with nothing in any log saying so. Both defaults are upstream's
        own (`nats-server` 8222, `prometheus-nats-exporter` 7777) and
        neither is claimed elsewhere in this repo, checked when they were
        added.

        OAuth2 client id the queue's authentication path identifies
