`security.pki.certificateFiles` is read when the system is BUILT and the
swarm root is deliberately a runtime file (its key must never enter the
world-readable store), so there was nothing build-time to name and the
container trusted no swarm-internal CA. Federation with a peer whose
cert chains to the swarm root did not validate.
The bridge already existed: `lib/hive-ca-trust.nix`, which `hive-ci` and
`hive-forge` both cross. This wires the matrix container to it -- read-only
bind of the trust bundle, container ordered after `hive-tls-ca.service` --
rather than inventing a second mechanism.
Consumption is the per-runtime half, and it is not what it looks like.
tuwunel links no openssl, which makes `SSL_CERT_FILE` appear inapplicable.
It isn't: the outbound client is `reqwest` with the `rustls` feature,
which builds a `rustls_platform_verifier::Verifier`, and because tuwunel
calls `tls_certs_merge` (additive) rather than `tls_certs_only`, the
platform roots stay alongside its compiled-in webpki set. On Linux that
verifier resolves through `rustls-native-certs` to `openssl-probe`, which
reads `SSL_CERT_FILE`. Established by reading tuwunel 1.8.0 and reqwest
0.13.4 source, not inferred from the feature list -- an earlier reading of
mine concluded the opposite from the absence of a `native-roots` feature
name and was wrong.
The variable therefore names a CONCATENATION (system CAs + the bundle),
never the anchor alone: `openssl-probe` uses it *instead of* the default
store, so pointing it at the bundle would drop every public CA and break
federation with the wider matrix network -- trading a small outage for a
much larger one.
`container@hive-matrix` needed `mkMerge`: it already assigned `after` for
the gateway ordering and the helper contributes its own `after`/`requires`,
so two bare assignments would have conflicted rather than combined.
⚠️ Gate honesty: `state/eval-3093.sh` proves the mount, the ordering, the
bundle service and the env var are RENDERED -- 6 probes, including two
separate absence probes (mount and consumption are wired at different
sites, and the gateway outage happened precisely because two of three
sites tolerated a missing cert and the third did not). It CANNOT prove
tuwunel loads them: a build that ignores the variable evaluates
identically to one that honours it, and the chain above is
version-specific. That half wants an executed check on a real deploy.

hyperhive docs
Depth reference for hyperhive — the substrate, not the pitch (that's the
top-level README / website).
Every page here stands alone; pick the one matching your task rather than
reading top to bottom. For the auto-generated NixOS options reference
(every services.hyperhive.* / hyperhive.* option, host and agent), see
the options site instead —
this tree is prose, that one's generated straight from the module
declarations.
Getting started
- Bringing a fresh hive online? →
setup.md(first-runhivectlbootstrap). - What does the dashboard look like, and how do I use it? →
web-ui/— the operator-facing starting point; its own sub-pages (shape,dashboard,agent,css-vars) go deeper into implementation. - What tools does an agent (or the operator) have available? →
tools/—hivectl(yours) plus every agent's MCP tool surface (bash, forge, lifecycle, matrix, scheduling).
Dashboard & agent UI internals
- How does the per-agent terminal classify + colour events? →
terminal-rendering.md.
Turn loop, config, approvals
- How does claude get its prompt, and what tools does it have? →
turn-loop/— the loop, binary shape, turn outcomes; sub-pages:claude-invocation,config,mcp. - How do config changes flow from manager to operator to container? →
approvals.md(two-step spawn, approval state machine,flake.lockvalidation). - What state survives destroy / purge / restart? →
persistence.md.
Trust boundary & security
- What's the operator/agent trust boundary? What's a capability? →
boundary.md. - Agent trust model, prompt-injection threat model, credential
isolation? →
security.md. - Who can do what to whom — agent hierarchy and privilege? →
agent-hierarchy.md.
Accounts & integrations
- How do per-agent forge accounts work? What does
forge_notifypoll, and how does it format wake messages? →forge.md(the hive's own Forgejo);tools/forge.mdfor thehive-forgeCLI verbs agents actually call. - How does the matrix-tuwunel container work? Multiple accounts per
agent? →
matrix.md(the homeserver);tools/matrix.mdfor the MCP tool surface andhyperhive.matrixAccounts. - How do I give an agent a GitHub account (
gh+git push)? How is the PAT injected? →github.md. - What does
hivectldo? Provisioning, gateway users, container shells? →tools/hivectl.md(the curated guide);tools/hivectl-cli.mdfor the exhaustive, auto-generated flag reference.
Networking & swarms
- What nginx vhosts does the gateway serve? How does matrix
discovery work? →
gateway.md. - How does DNS resolution work in agent containers? What's the
bridge network for? →
network.md. - How do I connect two hives into a swarm? →
swarm/(peer hives, TLS trust). - Where do agent snapshots go? How does the swarm's
btrfs receiveendpoint authenticate a pushing hive? →snapshot-store.md.
Scheduler, CI, observability
- How does the rebuild queue work? What are queue kinds and
sources? →
coordinator.md. - How does the CI runner work? What's the auto-registration flow? →
ci.md. - How do I export Claude Code metrics (tokens, cost, tool calls) to
Prometheus/Grafana? →
observability.md.
Process & conventions
- Naming, commit style, wire protocol, the
data-asyncpattern? →conventions.md. - Why does the nspawn flag look like that? →
gotchas.md(bind mounts, conf flags, other NixOS/nspawn quirks). - What is
/knowledge? How does the hive-wide knowledge repo sync, and how do I contribute a document? →knowledge.md.
