iris 5615da9211 terminal: tail pill above floating chrome + autoscroll fix (#375)
Two bugs on the agent terminal page after the #362 overhaul:

## 1. `↓ N new` pill clipped by the composer

The fixed-overlay composer (z-index 30, agent.css) sits in the
root stacking context. The pill — `position: absolute` inside
`.live.terminal` with no z-index — defaults to its document-order
position in the body's stacking order, which the composer covers.

Fix: bump `.agent-main .tail-pill { z-index: 35 }` so the pill
participates in the root stacking context above the composer.
Scoped to the agent-page overlay layout — the shared `.tail-pill`
rule stays untouched (the dashboard's in-page layout doesn't need
the bump).

## 2. Autoscroll-on-new-message not firing when the operator was
   already at the bottom

`afterAppend()` in terminal.js was calling `isNearBottom()` AFTER
appending the new row. The new row's own height is already in
`scrollHeight` at that point, so for any row taller than the
NEAR_BOTTOM_PX threshold (48px — easily passed by a multi-line
message body, a tool-result summary, a markdown block), the check
returns false and the pill shows + scroll stays put.

Fix: capture `wasNearBottom = isNearBottom()` BEFORE the
`log.appendChild(...)` in each of `row` / `details` /
`detailsDiff`, pass it into `afterAppend(wasNearBottom)`. Now the
auto-scroll triggers whenever the operator was visually at the
bottom an instant before the row landed, regardless of the new
row's height.

Same shared `@hive/shared/terminal.js` is used by the dashboard
+ per-agent UI + the upcoming /flow.html page, so both pages
inherit the fix.

## Validation

`npm run build` clean.

Bundle deltas: shared terminal bundle re-inlined into both consumers
unchanged in size (the wasNearBottom variable is a single bool, no
measurable delta). Agent CSS +0.1kb (z-index property).

Browser smoke test isn't possible from inside iris's container —
worth eyeballing post-deploy:
  - With the operator scrolled to bottom, a tall message lands and
    the view scrolls to keep it visible (instead of pinning the
    pill).
  - The pill appears above the composer when the operator is
    scrolled up and new messages land.

Closes #375.

hyperhive frontend

npm workspaces project for the hyperhive browser-facing assets:

  • packages/shared/ — shared modules used by both surfaces (terminal pane, Catppuccin palette + body typography).
  • packages/dashboard/ — the hive-c0re dashboard SPA.
  • packages/agent/ — the per-container web UI (default agent page, stats, screen).

Build

npm install            # one-off; uses the checked-in package-lock.json
npm run build          # builds every workspace into packages/*/dist/

The Rust binaries serve packages/dashboard/dist/ and packages/agent/dist/ via tower_http::ServeDir at runtime; the build derivation is wired up in nix/modules/frontend.nix. Per-agent additions are layered on top of the default agent dist via the hyperhive.frontend.extraFiles option in agent.nix.

Why npm + esbuild

  • Hermetic: dependencies vendored via the checked-in lockfile; buildNpmPackage in nix uses it as the source-of-truth so the output is reproducible without network access at build time.
  • esbuild: vanilla-JS bundler, no framework runtime overhead. Each workspace's build.mjs is ~30 lines.
  • Single-PR migration: see issue #273 for the design proposal and the four-commit shape (npm scaffold → nix derivations → container plumbing → Rust cutover).
