readme: manager mcp surface picks up update; operator-surface recap mentions /model + last-turn + model chip + the three collapsibles (inbox / journald / agent.nix). web-ui.md: details-restore-key story under shape; port-conflict banner mention on containers; agent.nix viewer alongside journald; notifications use per-event tags + console.debug log on block/show; deny endpoint takes note=<reason>; data-prompt / data-prompt-field generalisation noted. conventions.md: data-prompt and snapshot/restoreOpenDetails added to the async-forms section. persistence.md: operator_questions row picks up deadline_at (ttl) column with a migration note. todo.md: new 'Bugs' section captures the manager-question not-rendering issue with three suspect paths to chase. claude.md scratchpad rewritten as a clean handoff for the compaction + the upcoming config-git overhaul. flags the two-repo (proposed/ + applied/) split as the thing to reconsider.

# hyperhive
|
|
|
|
Multi-Claude-Code-agent orchestration on **nixos-containers**.
|
|
|
|
A host-side Rust daemon (`hive-c0re`) spawns nspawn-isolated agent
|
|
containers and brokers messages between them. A manager agent (`hm1nd`)
|
|
coordinates the swarm and gates lifecycle changes on user approval via git
|
|
commits, surfaced through a vibec0re-styled HTTP dashboard.
|
|
|
|
```

MCP (send / recv) + web UI on a hashed :8100-8999
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each turn: harness pops one inbox message (Recv long-polls server-side and
|
|
wakes on a broker Sent event) → builds a wake prompt → spawns
|
|
`claude --print --continue --output-format stream-json --mcp-config …` →
|
|
streams JSON events into the per-agent SSE bus + a sqlite history db →
|
|
claude drives any further `recv`/`send` itself via the embedded MCP server.
|
|
|
|
Operator surface per agent: terminal-themed live tail with a textarea
|
|
prompt; slash commands `/help` `/clear` `/cancel` `/compact`
|
|
`/model <name>`; granular state badge (idle / thinking /
|
|
compacting / offline) with age timer + last-turn duration chip +
|
|
model chip; cancel-turn button while thinking; sticky-bottom
|
|
auto-scroll with "↓ N new" pill; event history backfilled on page
|
|
load; collapsible inbox + collapsible journald viewer + collapsible
|
|
`agent.nix` viewer per agent on the dashboard.
|
|
|
|
Config changes flow the other way: manager edits `/agents/<name>/config/agent.nix`
|
|
(bind-mounted from the host's proposed repo) → commits → submits the sha as
|
|
an approval → operator clicks ◆ APPR0VE on the dashboard → hive-c0re copies
|
|
the file into the applied repo and `nixos-container update`s the agent.
|
|
For decisions the manager needs human signal on, `ask_operator(question,
|
|
options?, multi?)` queues a free-text/checkbox/radio form on the
|
|
dashboard; the answer arrives later as a `HelperEvent::OperatorAnswered`
|
|
in the manager's inbox.
|
|
|
|
## Host config
|
|
|
|
Minimal `flake.nix` for a host that runs hive-c0re:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
{
|
|
inputs = {
|
|
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-25.11";
|
|
hyperhive.url = "git+https://git.berlin.ccc.de/vinzenz/hyperhive";
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
outputs = { nixpkgs, hyperhive, ... }: {
|
|
nixosConfigurations.my-host = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
|
|
system = "x86_64-linux";
|
|
modules = [
|
|
hyperhive.nixosModules.hive-c0re
|
|
({ ... }: {
|
|
services.hive-c0re.enable = true;
|
|
# ... rest of your host config (hardware, networking, users, …)
|
|
system.stateVersion = "25.11";
|
|
})
|
|
];
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
hive-c0re will then:
|
|
- open its admin socket at `/run/hyperhive/host.sock` + dashboard on
|
|
`:7000`,
|
|
- auto-create the manager container (`hm1nd`) if missing,
|
|
- auto-rebuild any managed container whose hyperhive rev is stale.
|
|
|
|
`claude-code` is unfree; hyperhive whitelists it for itself
|
|
(scoped: only `claude-code`, nothing else) inside the
|
|
`claude-unstable` overlay and `harness-base.nix`. Per-agent
|
|
containers evaluate their own nixpkgs instance so the operator's
|
|
host-level `allowUnfree` doesn't propagate in — the predicate has
|
|
to live inline. Nothing to set on the operator side.
|
|
|
|
## Build / deploy
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# inside the repo (devshell first; no global cargo)
|
|
nix develop -c cargo check
|
|
nix develop -c cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
|
|
|
|
# evaluate everything (rust+nix+toml fmt + clippy)
|
|
nix flake check
|
|
|
|
# deploy to a host that imports `hyperhive.nixosModules.hive-c0re`
|
|
cd ~/Repos/<nixos-config-repo>
|
|
nix flake update --update-input hyperhive
|
|
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<host>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
No overlays on the host's `pkgs` — the module pulls hive-c0re's package
|
|
straight from `hyperhive.packages.<system>.default`. Just import the
|
|
module and the service is wired up.
