The hive had two spellings of "this agent may act on agents that aren't its children": the `ManageRootAgent` capability, which nothing checked, and a `can_manage_top_level_agents` role in a third meta store, `roles.json`, which owned the real grant — the bind mounts that put another agent's state (rw) and config (ro) inside the holder's container. The two drifted independently, and with the parent/child hierarchy removed the role's set (`parent.is_none()`) silently became every agent while nothing said so. Collapse them. The mount grant now hangs off `Capability::ManageRootAgent`, looked up through the one capability path that already exists (`capabilities::has_cap` over `capabilities.json`) rather than a second mechanism. `roles.json` and everything that read, wrote or reconciled it is gone, along with its `meta.rs` staging and commit-label wiring; nothing in the tree reads that file any more. The enum variant keeps its name deliberately. Renaming it would turn every `manage_root_agent` already stored in `capabilities.json` into an unrecognised name that `prune_unknown` drops without asking. Its meaning, not its spelling, is what changed: "may manage any agent". The doc comment and the description string now say that. `top_level_agents()`/`top_level_agents_in()` are replaced by `all_agents()`/`all_agents_in()`. Under "manage any agent" the mounted set is every agent by definition, so the code states it instead of deriving it from a predicate that no longer discriminates — and the call-site comment explains that, because it otherwise reads as a widening. The holder is no longer bound as its own virtual child: that reproduced the own-state and own-config mounts exactly, so dropping it loses nothing. |

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/scheduler/coordinator.md).lifecycle/—nixos-containerlifecycle + 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/integrations/forge.md).coordinator.rs— top-level wiring forserve.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 thehive-privclient respectively.
