atlas 865a1cc9ac docs(otel): say what the agent->collector hop is and is not
argus on #3280: the receiver has no auth extension - the nixpkgs module
passes settings straight through and nothing wires one on - so
'unauthenticated to a bridge address' means reachable from an agent
container, not presents a credential. The firewall is the whole access
control.

Consequence, stated because it is a choice rather than an oversight:
any agent can push arbitrary OTLP and the collector forwards it under
the operator's credential, including data smuggled out in resource
attributes. That is a different risk from the one the collector fixes,
and strictly smaller than what preceded it - before, every agent held
the credential itself and could do all of that plus use the token
anywhere else. The collector removes the token and keeps the pipe.

Same principle this PR already applies to the availability trade: state
it where the reader is, rather than let it be discovered.

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-run hivectl bootstrap).
  • 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

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.lock validation).
  • 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_notify poll, and how does it format wake messages?forge.md (the hive's own Forgejo); tools/forge.md for the hive-forge CLI verbs agents actually call.
  • How does the matrix-tuwunel container work? Multiple accounts per agent?matrix.md (the homeserver); tools/matrix.md for the MCP tool surface and hyperhive.matrixAccounts.
  • How do I give an agent a GitHub account (gh + git push)? How is the PAT injected?github.md.
  • What does hivectl do? Provisioning, gateway users, container shells?tools/hivectl.md (the curated guide); tools/hivectl-cli.md for 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 receive endpoint 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.

Crate reference

  • What does a specific Rust crate do, on its own terms?crates/ — every workspace crate's own README.md, one level up from source (hyperhive#3051); the crate itself is still the source of truth, this is just a walkable mirror.

Process & conventions

  • Naming, commit style, wire protocol, the data-async pattern?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.
