atlas 37f3c63eeb feat(#3124): converge the hive onto the agent set the swarm declares
The deploy event is a nudge with no second path: core NATS is
at-most-once, so a hive that was down when the controller published
simply never learns that an agent is meant to exist here. This adds the
repair path — one boot-time DAG node that reads this hive's own key in
the `hive-wanted` bucket and converges the agents it names.

Two semantics settled on the issue thread, and both are places where a
plausible implementation is the wrong one:

- **Absence is not a deletion order.** No bucket, no key, or an agent
  the value does not name all mean the controller has said nothing.
  Swarm-side lifecycle does not yet cover agents that predate it, so
  "converge to exactly this set" would tear down every agent the swarm
  has not adopted. `plan` only ever inspects the agents a declaration
  names.
- **An unrecognised state is inert.** `AgentState` is an open enum: a
  value this build cannot read deserialises into `Unrecognised` and is
  left alone. A closed enum would force "not `Up`" onto a state like
  `paused`, so a controller that learned a new value would take agents
  down on every hive not yet updated.

Divergence is measured against the hive's **stored power intent**, not
the container's observed running state — an agent that is down while its
intent says `Up` is already the boot reconcile's work, and a loop reading
`is_running` would insert a start DAG behind that reconcile's back on
every boot. A hive that already agrees with its declaration queues
nothing at all.

`queue_first_deploy` is extracted from the deploy-event path rather than
open-coded here, for the power-intent seed: without it `first_deploy`'s
tail `Reconcile` seeds `Wanted` from a container that exists but has not
started yet, which locks the agent to `Offline` on its first reconcile.

The read is authorised as-is: `store.get` takes async-nats' direct-get
arm (the KV bucket is created with `allow_direct`), which is exactly the
`$JS.API.DIRECT.GET.KV_hive-wanted.$KV.hive-wanted.<hive>` subject
`swarm-nats-auth` grants a hive. The fallback subject is not granted, and
a refused NATS request surfaces as a timeout rather than an error.

Nothing writes the bucket yet — the controller-side writer is the other
half of #3124, so this does not close it.

hive-c0re

The unprivileged host daemon (runs as hive-core). Owns the sqlite broker, the approval/reminder/schedule queues, the generic job-DAG queue, container lifecycle, gateway/forge/matrix provisioning, per-container stats, and the axum operator dashboard. Largest crate in the workspace — bin-only, no separate lib.

When to use it

Host-level, cross-container orchestration: spawning/rebuilding/ destroying agent containers, the approval flow, dashboard-visible state, provisioning per-agent forge/matrix/gateway accounts. Agent-side behavior (turn loop, MCP tools) lives in hive-agent/hive-agent-mcp instead — this daemon only talks to agents over the socket wire types in hive-sh4re.

Shape

Cohesive clusters live in directory submodules, each re-exported at the crate root (crate::broker::… keeps resolving regardless of which subdirectory a module actually lives in). One line each — read the module's own //! doc-comment for real detail, don't expect this file to track it:

  • dashboard/ — the operator dashboard (containers, approvals, schedules, logs, topology).
  • job_queue/ — the job-DAG queue + desired-state reconciliation (docs/coordinator.md).
  • lifecycle/nixos-container lifecycle + per-agent config flake generation.
  • stores/ — sqlite-backed stores (broker, queues, audit, power).
  • workers/ — background sweeps (crash watch, scheduled prompts, auto-update, knowledge sync).
  • agent_config/ — per-agent registries (tool groups, capabilities, resource limits, topology).
  • stats/ — dashboard metrics aggregation + OTEL export.
  • socket_server/ — the unix-socket request server shared by per-agent + manager sockets.
  • forge/ — optional Forgejo wiring (docs/forge.md).
  • coordinator.rs — top-level wiring for serve.
  • meta.rs, migrate.rs — the meta flake + schema/state migrations.
  • matrix.rs, gateway_nginx.rs, webhook_secret.rs, priv_client.rs — matrix provisioning, gateway vhosts, webhook secrets, and the hive-priv client respectively.
