atlas 8b01dbeef1 permissions: give the built-in tool list one home, next to ToolGroup
The `--tools` list a harness session gets is not a constant: the base set
plus whatever the agent's `HIVE_TOOL_GROUPS` add (today, `web_tools` →
`WebFetch`/`WebSearch`). That resolution lived in `hive-agent`'s
`mcp_config`, which is fine while the harness is the only thing that
spawns a `claude` — and it is not: `hive-subagent-mcp` spawns one too.

`hive-agent` is binary-only (no `src/lib.rs`, no lib target), so nothing
can depend on it to reach `builtin_tools_arg`. The alternative to a
shared home is a second list in the subagent daemon, which diverges on
the first tool anyone adds to either — and diverging upward is a
subagent holding a built-in its parent does not have.

So move the base list, the `HIVE_TOOL_GROUPS` parse and the resolution
into `hive_sh4re::permissions`, beside `ToolGroup` — whose
`builtin_tools()` was already half of the answer. `hive-agent`
re-exports them, so `mcp_config::builtin_tools_arg()` still reads the
same at the call site, and `allowed_tools_arg` now derives its built-in
half from the same function rather than repeating the merge loop.

Behaviour is unchanged. The parse is `strum::EnumString` rather than a
`serde_json::from_value` round-trip through a `Value::String`: same
`snake_case` names (a test pins the two derives against each other),
without `hive-sh4re` needing `serde_json` outside its dev-dependencies.
It is now a pure function of its input, so the fallbacks are testable
without mutating the environment — which under edition 2024 is `unsafe`
and racy across a test binary's threads.

hive-agent

The in-container harness serve-loop binary — one instance per agent. Long-polls the broker inbox and drives one claude --print turn per inbox message, over the hive-claude driver. There is one role here (agent); the Surface trait + AgentSurface zero-sized type tag keep the turn loop generic and testable for future roles without a parallel copy of the loop.

When to use it

You don't call into this crate from elsewhere — it's the top-level binary systemd starts per agent container. Look here when you need to understand or change: what happens between "a message lands in the inbox" and "claude produces a reply", how login/auth is bootstrapped, how the per-agent web UI is served, or how turn/event stats get recorded. Architecture detail lives in docs/turn-loop/; this README is just the map of the module tree.

Shape

  • turn.rs — the turn-loop policy layer: renders the system prompt + MCP config, invokes hive-claude, classifies the outcome, and feeds the event/turn-stats sinks.
  • client.rs — broker client (inbox poll, ack, send) speaking the hive-sh4re wire protocol.
  • login.rs / login_session.rs — first-run and session-resume auth flow for the claude CLI.
  • mcp_config.rs — renders the per-turn --mcp-config / --allowedTools blob from tool groups + capabilities.
  • todos.rs / reminders.rs / todo_server.rs — the harness-local loose-ends v2 stores (sqlite-backed) and the in-agent socket server extra MCP daemons + hive-agent-mcp dial into for todo/reminder ops.
  • vacuum.rs — periodic sqlite vacuum sweep for the harness-local stores.
  • events.rs / turn_stats.rs / stats.rs — append-only event sink and per-turn telemetry recording (context usage, cost, tool favorites) under harness/.
  • forge_notify.rs — subscribes to forge notifications and wakes the harness on new activity.
  • prompt.rs — system-prompt renderer (persona + tool docs + environment facts).
  • web_ui/ — the per-agent dashboard (terminal pane, status, schedules) served over the built-in hive-agent web port.
  • paths.rs — canonical path resolution for state/harness dirs and the harness-local sqlite files.

Sibling: hive-agent-mcp (the MCP server this loop points claude at every turn). Both are described together in docs/turn-loop/::Harness binary shape.
