atlas 07852cabc1 feat(3088): move the gateway's nginx + dnsmasq onto the host
The gateway's nginx + dnsmasq no longer run in their own nspawn container.
`nix/host-modules/hive-gateway/default.nix` loses the
`containers.hive-gateway` wrapper and everything that existed only to punch
holes in it: `privateNetwork = false`, `CAP_NET_ADMIN`, five bind mounts,
its own `stateVersion`, `networking.firewall.enable = false`,
`networking.resolvconf.enable = false`, and the `hive-gateway-resolv`
path+service pair. 465 -> 303 lines.

The container never bought isolation here. It shared the host netns by
necessity — nginx binds the host's :80/:443, dnsmasq answers on the bridge —
so each of those settings was undoing a boundary the gateway could not
afford in the first place.

Four things made it more than a deletion, none of them visible in the nix
diff:

- The self-signed cert service also imports the hive CA leaf, so removing it
  with the container would have left nginx naming a missing cert file, which
  it refuses to load at all.
- The nginx reload is a hive-priv verb. It still needs root, but no longer
  for the reason its doc gave, and `--machine=` was both transport and
  scope — so the unit name is now hard-coded in the helper as the
  containment.
- The lifecycle verb named a container that stops existing.
- `journalctl -M hive-gateway` had no machine to enter.

Per the operator's ruling, the operator verb keeps working and agents lose
it. `InfraContainer` answered three questions that used to share an answer;
it now splits into `name()` (identity), `target()` (Container vs HostUnit),
`service_unit()` (the systemd unit), and `agent_restartable()`, which the
MCP restart path checks before the capability so the refusal cannot read as
"ask for infra_admin". `SIBLING_CONTAINERS` drops the gateway — it gates the
requests that name a container as a string — while `FromStr` still accepts
it, because that answers what a name is, not who may act on it. The
dashboard's gateway journal reads host journald filtered to `nginx.service`.

Prose was corrected where it only named a location, and re-argued where the
container was doing security work: a `0666` per-agent socket was safe
because only the gateway container had the directory bind-mounted. There is
no mount now, so the directory permissions are the whole of the access
control — the constraint holds, its mechanism doesn't.

Gate: nix fmt / clippy --all-targets -D warnings / cargo test all clean (710
tests); hivectl-cli.md regenerated from the clap tree. The nix eval was run
in both TLS shapes at this commit: every delta in the rendered
virtualHosts is one of the three intended path moves, dnsmasq settings are
byte-identical, and the absence probe flips true -> false with bindMounts
emptied.

# Dashboard layout
> Part of [Web UI](../web-ui.md). See also:
> [Shape (shared)](shape.md) · [Per-agent page](agent.md)
The dashboard is served at `/dashboard.html` (with the home page at `/`).
It has a fixed chrome header at the top and a `<main>` that shows exactly
one tab pane at a time. The URL hash (`#swarm`, `#call`, `#system`,
`#permissions`, `#schedules`, `#peers`, `#settings`) drives which pane is
active; hash changes don't reload the page. FL0W, L0GS, and the optional
M4TR1X client are separate pages reachable from the H0M3 hub at `/`, not
from the dashboard tab strip.
**Chrome header** (fixed, overlays the active tab pane):
- **← home back-link**: top-left of the chrome, links to the H0M3 hub
at `/`. Every surface links back to the hub rather than to each other.
- **Tab strip**: `◆ SW4RM ◆`, `◆ Y3R C4LL ◆`, `◆ P3RM1SS10NS ◆`,
`◆ SCH3DUL3S ◆`. In-page tabs only — the SYST3M panels moved to the
standalone **C0R3** page (`/core.html`), and FL0W / L0GS / ST4TS /
S3TT1NGS / M4TR1X live on their own pages too, all reachable from the
H0M3 hub (not the tab strip). Peer hives render as a headline under
SW4RM rather than a tab. Count pills on SW4RM
(container count), Y3R C4LL (pending approvals + questions + unread
operator messages), and SCH3DUL3S (active schedules); P33RS and
S3TT1NGS have no count.
- **Banner-thin** (`░▒▓█▓▒░ HYPERHIVE / HIVE-C0RE / WE ARE THE WIRED ░▒▓█▓▒░`)
— sits below the tab strip.
- **Server-warnings banner** — a generic, sticky top-of-page strip shown
on **every** page (dashboard + the stand-alone FL0W / L0GS / H0M3
pages), injected at the top of `<body>` by `renderServerWarnings` in
`common.js`. Driven by `state.server_warnings` — a list of
`{ kind, level, message }` from hive-c0re's `host_stats::server_warnings`
— and coloured by `level` (`warn` amber / `crit` red). The backend owns
the threshold + message, so adding a new system warning needs no
frontend change. The only producer today is the host disk-pressure
check (a `statvfs` probe of `/nix`: ≥85% used → `warn`, ≥95% → `crit`,
e.g. `⚠ host nix store N% full (G GiB free) — garbage-collect …`).
Hidden when there are no warnings.
- **Browser tab title** — `hive / c0re` by default; updated to
`<swarm> / <hive>` once `hive_name` / `swarm_name` arrive in the
state snapshot. When there are pending approvals or unanswered
questions, a `(N)` prefix is prepended — `(3) pr1ma / hive-c0re`
— so the operator can see the call count in an unfocused browser
tab without opening the dashboard. The prefix is set on the
initial `/api/state` cold-load and updated live by
`approval_added` / `approval_resolved` / `question_added` /
`question_resolved` SSE events; it's preserved when
`hive_name` / `swarm_name` later replace the raw title.
The FL0W and L0GS pages use a slim header (a `← home` back-link + the
page title) rather than the dashboard tab strip — they're standalone
surfaces, not tab panes.
## SW4RM tab
**C0NTAINERS** — live containers rendered as a depth-first
tree using `ContainerView.parent` (populated by `topology.rs`).
Each container's row is prefixed with ASCII tree glyphs (`├─`,
`└─`, `│ ` continuation columns) showing the agent
parent/child hierarchy. When every container has `parent = null`
(flat topology) the tree collapses to a plain list with no
glyphs. Children are sorted alphabetically within each parent;
roots likewise. Cycles in the parent graph are tolerated —
orphaned containers (not reachable from any root) are appended
as roots so no agent disappears. Pulsing red banner at the top
of this section if any two sub-agents hash to the same port
(`port_conflicts` from `/api/state`): the operator must rename
one of them and rebuild. `lifecycle::{spawn,rebuild}` also
preflight this and refuse with a clear error message naming the
conflicting agent.
`↻ UPD4TE 4LL` button appears above the containers list when any
agent is stale.
## Y3R C4LL tab
Things blocked on operator decision — approvals and questions
share a tab because they're the same concept ("something is
waiting on you").
**P3NDING APPR0VALS** — the queue (see "Approval card" below).
The R3QU3ST SP4WN form lives at the top of this section. A
`pending · N` / `history · N` tab pair switches between the live
queue and the last 30 resolved approvals (see "Approval card" for
the history row shape).
**M1ND H4S QU3STI0NS** — pending `ask` calls waiting on the
operator, with amber pulsing border. Anatomy of each card:
- **Filter chips** — `all · N`, `@operator · N`, `@peer · N`,
plus one chip per participant name (`@asker · N` / `@target · N`).
Every chip shows its own count so the operator can see the
distribution at a glance. Clicking a chip narrows the visible
list; selection persists in localStorage so a tab switch doesn't
lose the filter.
- **Question card** — timestamp · asker → target · body text
(with file-path links). Operator-targeted questions (`target =
null`) show `▸ ANSW3R`; peer-targeted questions (`target =
agent`) show `⤿ 0V3RR1D3` so the operator can unblock an
agent-to-agent exchange. Questions with a `ttl_seconds` show a
`⏳ MM:SS` live countdown chip; the host-side watchdog resolves
with `answerer = "ttl-watchdog"` on expiry.
- **Answer form** — free-text textarea (Enter = submit,
Shift+Enter = newline) + optional option list (radio for
single-select, checkboxes for `multi=true`). Submit merges
selected options + free text comma-joined into a single
`answer` field. `✗ CANC3L` is a separate form so the submit
merge handler doesn't interfere.
- **◆ answ3red (N)** — collapsible `<details>` below the pending
list; shows the last 20 resolved questions with their answers.
**0PER4T0R 1NB0X** — messages agents have sent to `to="operator"` but
the operator hasn't read yet. Cold-loaded from `/api/operator-inbox` on
tab activation + page load; appended live from the broker `sent` stream
(deduped on row id). Each row shows sender · timestamp · body (with
file-path linkification). A `✓ mark all read` button on the right acks
all rows via `POST /api/agent/operator/mark-all-read` (reuses the existing
mark-read endpoint). Unread count folds into the Y3R C4LL tab pill so
messages are visible from any tab even while inactive. Backed by
`GET /api/operator-inbox``{ messages: [...] }` (id, from, body, at,
in_reply_to, file_refs).
## C0R3 page (`/core.html`)
Passive / rare-interaction state. No longer a dashboard tab — it's a
standalone page reached from the **Core** tile on the H0M3 hub (served at
`/core.html`), with the same minimal chrome as `/logs.html`: a `← home`
back-link + a `createTabStrip` sub-tab nav (**K3PT ST4T3** default,
then **C0NT41N3R L04D**, then **1NFR4**). The page is its own esbuild bundle (`core.js`)
that cold-loads `/api/state` and subscribes to `/api/dashboard/stream` for
`tombstones_changed`, `capabilities_changed`, and `tool_groups_changed`
(the latter two re-render the stale-perms sub-section when permission
data changes). (Rebuild queue and meta inputs have moved to the BU1LDS
page — see below.)
**K3PT ST4T3** — two sub-sections on one pane:
*Tombstones*: agents with kept state and **no container** (size + age +
claude-creds badge). Two actions: `⊕ R3V1V3` (queues a Spawn
approval; existing state is reused), `PURG3` (wipes state + applied
dirs; `POST /api/purge-tombstone/{name}`).
⚠️ **Not only *destroyed* agents.** Nothing records a destroy: every
definition-side artifact (state subvolume, proposed + applied repos,
meta registration, topology entry) is written by `Provision` *before*
the container exists and survives `lifecycle::destroy`. So an agent
part-way through a spawn is byte-identical on disk to a tombstone, and
both are listed. The pane carries a standing warning to that effect, and
the row badge says `offline` rather than `destroyed` — the absence of a
container is all the backend can actually prove. Fixing it properly
needs a recorded destroy: **#3020**, deferred to the swarm-controller /
snapshot-storage rework where the problem changes shape.
*Stale permission entries*: agents with explicit capability or
tool-group JSON entries but no live container — typically renamed or
deleted agents whose entries persisted in `capabilities.json` /
`tool-groups.json`. Lazy-loaded on first K3PT ST4T3 tab activation;
auto-refreshes on `capabilities_changed` + `tool_groups_changed` SSE
events. Each ghost agent gets a `✕ clear perms` button
(`DELETE /api/permissions/{name}`).
**C0NT41N3R L04D** — live CPU + memory per agent container, read
straight from cgroup v2 on the host (`cpu.stat`, `memory.current`,
`memory.peak`, `memory.max` under
`/sys/fs/cgroup/machine.slice/machine-h\x2d<name>.scope/`). CPU is a
host-normalised percentage (0..100 across all cores) sampled over a
short (~200 ms) two-read interval; memory shows current + peak with a
bar against the `memory.max` quota. Backed by
`GET /api/container-resources` (`container_stats.rs`), which reads the
files read-only (world-readable; no `hive-priv`) and skips agents whose
scope dir is absent (= not running). Pull-only: `core.js` polls every
5 s **only while the C0NT41N3R L04D sub-tab is active** (CPU needs a fresh
sample each refresh), and stops on sub-tab change. Disk size (`disk_bytes`)
rides the same row but is fed by a separate ~5 min background `du` sampler
(state dir + container writable rootfs, shared nix store excluded via
`du -x`), so the 5 s poll stays cheap cgroup-only reads; the row carries the
last-sampled value (`null` until the first sample). Network is intentionally
omitted — agents share the host netns, so there is no per-container net
counter (per-agent network needs the netns-isolation roadmap in
`docs/network.md`).
**1NFR4** — start / stop / restart the four hive infrastructure services
(`hive-ci`, `hive-forge`, `hive-gateway`, `hive-matrix`) directly from the
dashboard, without needing an `infra_admin` agent's `restart` MCP tool.
Three are containers; `hive-gateway` is the host's `nginx.service`, and is
the one an agent may **not** restart — this panel is the way it gets
bounced. One row per service: name, a `badge-ok`/`badge-fail`
running/stopped dot, and `↺ R3ST4RT` + `■ ST0P` (running) or `▶ ST4RT`
(stopped) buttons, same themed-confirm pattern as the K3PT ST4T3
tombstone actions. Backed by
`POST /api/infra-container/{name}/{action}` (`action`
`start|stop|restart`), which calls the same
`priv_client::control_infra_container` helper the agent-facing
`infra_admin` path uses — no new privileged-helper surface, no
capability check (the dashboard is already operator-authenticated).
Every attempt is written to the audit log (actor `"operator"`, action
`start_infra`/`stop_infra`/`restart_infra`) alongside agent-driven infra
restarts. Status rows ride the `infra_containers` field on
`GET /api/state`'s `StateSnapshot` (`{name, running}`, live
`systemctl is-active container@<unit>.service` read); `core.js` polls
`/api/state` every 5 s only while the 1NFR4 sub-tab is active, same
cadence/lifecycle as C0NT41N3R L04D's polling.
## BU1LDS page (`/builds.html`)
The build lifecycle hub — rebuild queue, live build log, meta inputs,
and build log history on one page. Standalone page reached from the
**Builds** tile on the H0M3 hub, same minimal chrome as `/core.html`.
Three sub-tabs: **R3BU1LD QU3U3** (default), **M3T4 1NPUTS**,
**BUILD L0GS**. Its own esbuild bundle (`builds.js`); cold-loads
`/api/state` and subscribes to `/api/dashboard/stream` for
`rebuild_queue_changed`, `meta_inputs_changed`, `meta_update_running`.
The SW4RM tab (`/dashboard.html`) does **not** read this endpoint at
all — mara, on review: "swarm.js should not need to pull in the jobq
to do its job." Its per-agent pending badges are transient-only, and
its queue-summary banner reads the much narrower `GET /api/jobq/rollup`
instead (see Container row, below) — a handful of pre-tallied counts,
not the graph.
**R3BU1LD QU3U3** — pending, in-flight, and recently-settled container
operations: rebuilds, meta-update cascades, and first-spawns. One
operation runs at a time; the worker drains FIFO. **Is a mounted
`<hive-jobq-graph endpoint="/api/jobq/graph">`** (the shared generic
graph-viewer component, `@hive/shared/jobq-graph.js`) — `builds.js`
does not render the queue itself; it just mounts the element and
listens for its `hive-jobq-graph-update` event to drive the two things
below it that the generic view doesn't show. The component owns
fetching, cold and live: `GET /api/jobq/graph` on mount, and
`.refresh()` on every `rebuild_queue_changed` SSE tick (that event is a
bare `{ seq }` trigger — it carried a typed queue snapshot until every
consumer had moved to the generic endpoint, and now carries none; both
dashboard pages treat the tick as a pure refetch trigger).
Each row is one root graph node (`parent: null`); a multi-step op's
per-agent subgraphs and sub-steps render as nodes within that one
entry (structural `parent` edges define the tree; sibling order is
array order, unchanged from the wire). A row shows a state glyph (`⏸`
pending / `▶` running / `◐` finishing — own work done, a sub-node
still running / `✔` done / `✖` failed / `⊘` cancelled / `·` skipped)
and each step's own label/agent. A `Node`-kind dep on a sibling shows
as a plain "waits on: `<label>`" text line under the row — an earlier
gutter-rail version was reverted (it broke visually whenever a nested
subtree sat between the two related rows; text has no such gap).
`builds.js` mounts the element with `cancellable` set, which turns on
a per-node cancel button (`✕`) on any non-terminal row — the button
dispatches `hive-jobq-graph-cancel`, and the page does the actual
`POST /api/rebuild-queue/{id}/cancel`, matching the wire event as its
own domain concept (the component knows nothing about that endpoint).
**Still no source chip, kind label, timing, or build-log deep-link on
rows** — no equivalent of the old `DagView`'s `source`/`reason`/
`created_at`, which were `NodeKind::Dag`-specific fields the generic
wire doesn't carry; per mara's original steer ("dont feel constrained
by what the ui does currently"), rows present what the endpoint
actually gives rather than reconstructing the old per-row chrome.
Settled entries render their **full step tree**, not just a bare
summary — unlike the old `DagView` projection, this wire does not
filter `Done` nodes out.
**State filter (hyperhive#2606).** A row of per-state checkboxes above
the tree — one per lifecycle state, matching the row glyphs — lets the
operator narrow which root groups render; unchecking a state re-fetches
`GET /api/jobq/graph?states=<checked, comma-joined>` rather than
hiding rows client-side, so `hive-jobq-graph-update`'s node list (and
everything downstream of it — the count pill, the live-log panel) only
ever sees what's actually shown. Filtering is by a **root's own**
state, which is already its subtree's rolled-up answer, so a group is
kept or dropped whole, never split mid-tree. Default selection is
every state **except** `Done`/`Skipped` — a fresh queue view leads
with what's still moving or needs attention, not the settled tail; the
`states` param is omitted entirely (identical request to before this
filter existed) when every state is checked. Server-side: the query
narrows [`Queue::graph_snapshot`]'s already-bounded (`MAX_HISTORY_DAGS`)
root set — the history cap and the state filter are independent
concerns, so a narrow filter never reaches further back in time to
compensate.
Below the queue, a **live build-log panel** (`#rebuild-live-log`,
`renderRebuildLiveLog`) shows the currently-running rebuild's output
inline — collapsible, with a live/ok/fail badge and a `↓ raw`
download. It's keyed to the first `Running` node (in wire order)
whose `payload.data.build_log_id` is set — read from the
`hive-jobq-graph-update` event's node list, same source as the count
pill, no separate fetch — and **polls** `GET /api/build-log/{id}`
every 2s (`fetchAndRenderLiveLog` / `liveLogPollTimer`); not an
`EventSource` (that's the BUILD L0GS tab's own per-row expand view
below — `GET /api/build-logs/id/{id}/stream`, real SSE, replays
accumulated output on connect — a separate mechanism). The live-log
panel lives in its own container outside `#rebuild-queue-section` so
the mounted `<hive-jobq-graph>`'s own re-renders never disturb the
open poll; it hides when nothing is building.
**M3T4 1NPUTS** — inputs in `meta/flake.lock` the operator can
selectively `nix flake update`, rendered as an indented tree:
every fetched input at every depth (`hyperhive`,
`hyperhive/nixpkgs`, `agent-<n>`, `agent-<n>/mcp-<x>`, …), each
shown once at its shallowest path. `read_meta_inputs` walks the
lock graph with a `visited` set — `follows` aliases and rev-less
nodes are skipped. A `select all / select none`
control sits above the tree. Checking inputs + submitting bumps
the lock in `/meta/` and rebuilds the selected agents in
sequence; each outcome reaches the root agent as a `rebuilt`
system event. `POST /meta-update`. While a lock-bump ripple runs,
the panel shows a pulsing "⏳ meta-update running" banner and the
update button is disabled (snapshot field `meta_update_running`,
live event `meta_update_running`).
**BUILD L0GS** — all-agents build log history (moved from `/logs.html`).
Lazy-loaded on first tab activation; auto-refreshes when
`rebuild_queue_changed` fires. Fetches `GET /api/build-logs?limit=30`.
Renders a scrollable list of build entries; each row is a collapsible
button showing status badge (`live` / `ok` / `fail`), agent name,
elapsed duration, build kind, age, and the invocation command line.
Expanding a row fetches the full stdout+stderr via
`GET /api/build-logs/id/{id}`. A live in-progress build shows a `live`
badge with a ticking elapsed-time chip; expanding streams output via
`GET /api/build-logs/id/{id}/stream` with sticky-bottom auto-scroll
(suspends on manual scroll-up). Deep-link: `?id=N#buildlogs` opens the
entry with that id pre-expanded.
## CR3D3NTIALS page (`/credentials.html`)
Operator surface to provision per-agent credentials without editing the
agent's config repo. Standalone page reached from the **Credentials** tile
on the H0M3 hub, same minimal chrome as `/logs.html` (a `← home` back-link
+ a sub-tab strip, via the shared `@hive/shared/tabs.js` tab strip) rather
than `/core.html`'s plain title. Its own esbuild bundle
(`credentials.js`); no SSE — it reads `/api/state` once for the (shared)
agent picker and otherwise works off purpose-built endpoints per tab.
Three sub-tabs:
### MATRIX tab
Provision / log in a per-agent **external** matrix account and store its
access token (this half is unchanged from the old `/matrix-accounts.html`
page it replaces — only the URL and surrounding chrome moved).
An agent picker (populated from `state.containers`, the live roster) drives a list of that
agent's accounts — name, homeserver, user id, and a status dot —
read from `GET /api/matrix-accounts?agent=<name>`
`{ accounts: [ { name, homeserver, token_present, live, user_id } ], as_of_unix }`.
`token_present` is whether a token is **stored**; `live`, `homeserver`,
and `user_id` are backfilled from the matrix daemon's
`matrix-accounts.json` snapshot — a host-visible file the daemon
**force-rewrites every ~30s** (a heartbeat), so `as_of_unix` (the
snapshot mtime) advances while the daemon is alive and a *stalled* value
genuinely means "stopped publishing", not just "old snapshot". An account
with a token but absent from the snapshot reports `live: false`.
The status dot renders these states:
- **green** — `live` and the container is running: online.
- **dim green** — `live` but `as_of_unix` hasn't advanced in > ~90s (3
missed heartbeats) while the container is *not* down: the daemon stopped
publishing, so the snapshot's `live` is no longer trustworthy (likely
dead/wedged). Labelled "online · no heartbeat".
- **amber** — `live` but the container is **down** (a stopped container
⟹ a dead daemon, so the snapshot is stale); also the `token_present &&
!live` "provisioned but offline" case.
- **grey** — no token (not provisioned).
### GITHUB tab
Provision a single per-agent GitHub personal access token (see
[`docs/github.md`](../github.md) for the injection + `gh`/git-push
mechanics). No login flow — the operator pastes an existing PAT for a
dedicated bot account, with a security-warning banner (dedicated account +
minimally-scoped token) and a link to
[github.com/settings/tokens](https://github.com/settings/tokens).
Status reads `GET /api/github-account?agent=<name>`
`{ present: bool }` — whether the agent's `github-token` file exists.
There's no live/heartbeat concept for a static PAT, so this is just a
"token stored ✓" / "not set" line, unlike MATRIX's status-dot taxonomy.
Provisioning posts `POST /api/github-account` (form-encoded `agent`,
`token`) → `200 { ok: true }` on success, or the same `error_response`
shape `/api/matrix-account-login` uses on failure. The token is never
echoed back in either direction.
The container-down cross-reference (`/api/state`) takes precedence over
the age check. `as_of_unix` is tooltipped ("live as of N ago") throughout
so freshness is always legible. When `live` is absent (an older backend
without the snapshot) the dot falls back to a token-present rendering.
The provision form (account name, homeserver, login method) posts
`POST /api/matrix-account-login` (`x-www-form-urlencoded`, operator-auth):
fields `agent, account, homeserver, mode=password|token, user_id?,
password?, token?``200 { ok, user_id }` on success. Failures come back
as RFC 9457 `application/problem+json` (`{ type, title, status, detail }`)
with the human-readable message in `detail` and the status code reflecting
the cause (400 for a validation error, 500 for a login / `whoami` /
internal failure); the page reads `detail` for display. The host coordinator performs the login
(password) or validates the token (`whoami`) and writes the bearer to
the agent's `matrixAccounts.<account>.tokenFile` via the same
privileged write path as the hive-internal `matrix-token`; the token is
**never** echoed back, and the page clears the secret inputs on submit
regardless of outcome. The account list reflects what is *provisioned*
(an account with a stored token), so a config-declared-but-unprovisioned
account appears only once it has been provisioned through the form.
### FORGES tab
Store a **label + base URL + access token** for an external Forgejo/Gitea/
Codeberg-compatible forge, per agent. Entirely dashboard-provisioned —
there is no host-side nix config for this (no `services.hyperhive.
extraForges` option). The operator creates the token on the external forge
themselves (however that forge lets them — PAT UI, a teammate with admin,
whatever) and pastes label/URL/token into the form; hive-c0re never talks
to the external forge's API and never creates an account there.
The selected agent's stored forges come from `GET /api/extra-forges?
agent=<name>``{ forges: [{ label, base_url }] }`, derived by scanning
the agent's state dir for `forge-<label>-token` files (mirrors the MATRIX
tab's filename-scan listing) with `base_url` backfilled from a sibling
`forge-<label>.json` sidecar. Submitting the add form posts `POST /api/
extra-forge-account` (form-encoded `agent, label, base_url, token,
action=add`) → `200 { ok: true }`, which writes both files through the
same privileged write path as the other tabs. Each row's `remove` button
opens a themed confirm dialog, then posts the same endpoint with
`action=remove`, deleting both local files — nothing changes on the
remote forge. The token is never echoed back in either direction.
A per-forge `hive-forge --forge <label>` CLI selector (to make `hive-forge`
target one of these accounts instead of the internal forge) is a
deliberate non-goal of this tab — tracked separately.
## P3RM1SS10NS tab
Per-agent permission configuration. Two sections, each rendered as a
column-driven checkbox matrix: rows are agents, columns are the
permission names fetched from the backend. The column list is
authoritative — adding a new tool-group or capability to the backend
requires no UI change; the new column appears automatically.
The snapshot carries `agents` (the full manageable roster — live
containers agents with an explicit entry) and `effective` (per-agent
explicit-or-role-default values) alongside the explicit `assignments`
map. Rows come from `agents` so **agents on defaults always appear**
(not just those with an explicit entry), and checkboxes reflect the
`effective` values so a default agent shows the groups it actually runs
with rather than blank — which also means saving it won't silently
strip those defaults. The `(default)` badge keys off absence from
`assignments` (no explicit entry).
Fetches fire on tab activation (not page-load) to avoid unnecessary
work when the operator never visits this tab. Live mutations from the
rebuild-queue worker are also pushed via the `capabilities_changed` /
`tool_groups_changed` SSE events (same payload shape as the GET
endpoints), so an open P3RM1SS10NS tab reflects worker-applied changes
without requiring navigation. Tab-activation re-fetches remain as a
safety net for reconnect windows.
**C4P4B1L1T13S** — per-agent capability grants. Capabilities unlock
gated MCP tools and system-level access beyond the default agent
surface. A saving POST queues a rebuild for the affected agent so the
new `HIVE_CAPABILITIES` env var takes effect in the next session.
The current capabilities are:
| Name | Effect |
|------|--------|
| `manage_root_agent` | allows the `set_status` / lifecycle tools on the root agent |
| `read_host_journal` | unlocks `get_host_journal` to read journald from inside a container |
| `query_agent_state` | allows `get_loose_ends(agent: "<name>")` calls targeting other agents |
| `infra_admin` | allows `restart` on hive infrastructure containers (`hive-ci`, `hive-forge`, `hive-matrix`; the gateway is operator-only); each restart is logged to the AUDIT trail |
Each row is one agent. Columns are the capability names returned by
`GET /api/capabilities` as `caps: Vec<String>`. Checking or unchecking
boxes only stages the change in-browser; nothing is written until the
page-level **save all** button (described below) is clicked. The
checkboxes reflect the *effective* set (explicit grant or role default),
so a default-perms agent shows its real grants rather than blank; absent
agents in the assignment map have no extra capabilities.
**T00L GR0UPS** — per-agent tool-group permissions. Tool groups are
named buckets of MCP tools; each agent starts with a role default
(sub-agents: `messaging`, `meta`, `inbox`, `execution`; root agent: all
groups). Checking / unchecking stages which groups are active for the
agent; the page-level **save all** button (below) commits it. Columns
come from `GET /api/tool-groups`. A rebuild is queued so
`HIVE_TOOL_GROUPS` takes effect.
The current tool groups are: `messaging`, `meta`, `inbox`, `lifecycle`,
`approvals`, `scheduling`, `diagnostics`, `execution`, `web_tools`. All
listed in `ToolGroup::ALL` in `hive-sh4re`. The `web_tools` group is
special: it carries no MCP tools; instead it adds Claude's built-in
`WebFetch` and `WebSearch` to `--tools` / `--allowedTools` for that
agent session.
Both tables share the same visual shape: `.cap-table-wrap` /
`.tg-table-wrap` outer scroll container, `thead` with a label column
(`.cap-agent-col` / `.tg-agent-col`) + one column per permission
(`.cap-col` / `.tg-group-col`). Each tbody row is one agent: a name cell
and its checkbox cells, where each checkbox carries `data-baseline` (its
render-time state) and the row carries `data-agent` for dirty-tracking.
**Saving — one button for the whole page.** There are no per-row save
buttons. A single page-level `.perm-save-bar` with a **save all (N
agents)** button sits at the bottom of the pane, enabled only when some
checkbox diverges from its baseline. Clicking it diffs every checkbox
across *both* matrices and POSTs one batch to `POST /api/permissions` as
`{ changes: [ { agent, tool_groups?, capabilities? } ] }` — only the
perm-types that actually changed for each agent are included (an omitted
field leaves that file untouched; an included array fully replaces it).
The backend coalesces an agent's capabilities + tool-groups into a
single rebuild, so changing both for one agent is one rebuild, not two.
The batch is atomic: it validates every change first and on any error
rejects the whole POST (`{error}`, nothing applied); a clean 200 (`ok`)
flips the bar to a queued→rebuilding state and re-fetches both tables.
Live `capabilities_changed` / `tool_groups_changed` events re-render the
matrices unless the section has unsaved edits, so an in-progress edit set
isn't clobbered.
## SCH3DUL3S tab
Anything that fires at a future time. Operator-set schedules
are created inline in the table (last row); agent self-paced
reminders surface at the bottom as a sibling list — they
share enough conceptual ground to live together.
**N3W SCH3DUL3 / QU3U3D SCH3DUL3S** — operator-managed
scheduled prompts. **Single-table layout**: each schedule is
one `<tr>`; columns are
`# | src | next | every | owner | body | …agents… | actions`.
Agent columns are dynamic — `operator` + `root` + every
live container + any extra name that appears as a target on
some schedule but isn't a current container (same
`buildTargetChips` membership rule the new/edit forms use,
so table and forms agree on what's addressable). Column
headers tilt -45° via CSS so each column reads as a narrow
~28px strip; per-agent cells render as:
- **active target** → `<button>✓</button>` that cancels just
that one target on click
- **cancelled target** → muted `✕` glyph (no button —
re-adding goes through the edit form's targets multi-select)
- **not a target** → empty cell
Per-schedule action column:
- **`↯ fire now`** — sends an out-of-band manual pulse to every
active target (recurring schedules keep their cadence; one-shots
are consumed after the manual fire). Disabled for paused schedules.
- **`⏸` / `▶` pause/resume toggle** — only on recurring schedules
(one-shots may also be paused to delay a one-time fire, so the
button always appears). Paused rows show a `⏸ paused` badge in the
`next` column and are sorted to the middle bucket (after active,
before cancelled). A paused schedule does not fire regardless of
`next_fire_at`; resuming (`▶`) clears the pause without adjusting
the next-fire time. POSTs to `/api/schedules/{id}/pause` or
`/api/schedules/{id}/resume`.
- **`✎ edit`** — expands an inline edit form as a colspan'd row
directly under the schedule's row (body / description / interval /
next-fire / targets all editable; targets are a multi-select diff'd
against the original active set so unchecked-was-active =
`targets_remove`, checked-not-originally-active = `targets_add`;
submit PATCHes `/api/schedules/{id}`).
- **`✕`** — cancels the whole schedule
(`POST /api/schedules/{id}/cancel`).
The `next` column cell (`.sched-due`) carries a `data-due-at`
Unix timestamp attribute; a shared 1s ticker rewrites it
in-place showing `fmtDuration` while in the future and
`overdue X ago` once the fire time has passed — same
zero-re-render pattern as the reminder due-at labels and the
question TTL chip.
The table's last row is a permanent inline creation row:
inputs live directly in table cells (targets as checkboxes,
body textarea that expands on focus, datetime-local pre-filled
to 5 minutes from now, mini d/h/m/s number inputs (blank or
all-zero = one-shot), description). Click `` to POST to
`/api/schedules` as JSON (or `⌫` to clear the half-filled row);
carry-state preserves partially-typed inputs across re-renders. The tab pill shows the count of active
schedules (at least one live target not yet cancelled).
Refreshed on tab activation and after each submit/cancel. Backed by
`GET /api/schedules`. No backend changes for the table layout
— it renders entirely from existing `schedulesState` +
`containersState`.
**QU3U3D R3M1ND3RS** — reminders agents have scheduled for
themselves (via the `remind` tool) but not yet delivered.
Each row shows the owner, due time, and message; a `CANC3L`
button hard-deletes (`POST /api/cancel-reminder/{id}`) and a
`R3TRY` button re-arms one whose delivery failed
(`POST /api/retry-reminder/{id}`). Backed by `GET /api/reminders`.
Lives in the SCH3DUL3S tab alongside operator schedules so the
operator has one place for everything time-fired. The due-time
label (`.reminder-due`) carries a `data-due-at` Unix timestamp
attribute; a shared 1s ticker rewrites it in-place — showing
`in Xm Ys` while the reminder is in the future and
`overdue X ago` once the deadline passes — without triggering a
full re-render of the list.
## ST4TS tab
Hive-wide turn statistics, aggregated across every agent's
`hyperhive-turn-stats.sqlite` for the selected window. Distinct from
each agent's own `/stats` page (which carries the per-agent trend
charts): ST4TS is the swarm-level rollup.
- **Window selector** (`1h``30d`) re-fetches on change.
- **Summary chips**: active agents, turns, total/input/output/cache-read
tokens, and a labelled **est cost**.
- **Busiest agents** table — one row per agent (most turns first):
turns, input / output / cache-read tokens, est cost.
- **Model mix** — turns per model across the swarm, as CSS bars.
- **Favorite tools** — most-run normalised bash-command heads across the
swarm (top 10, as CSS bars), aggregated from each agent's
`bash_commands` table (written by the hive-bash-daemon capture). The
header + list stay hidden until at least one agent has recorded a
command, so the section never shows an empty block on a fresh hive.
Backed by `GET /api/stats-hive?window=<w>` in `hive-c0re`
(`hive_stats.rs`): for every name from
`Coordinator::kept_state_names()` it opens
`agent_harness_dir(name)/hyperhive-turn-stats.sqlite` read-only (with a
500 ms `busy_timeout`, since `turn_stats` is rollback-journal) and rolls
the rows up — missing / unreadable / zero-turn dbs are skipped so one
bad db never fails the endpoint. This is a **pull** surface (no SSE):
the data is fetched on tab activation and on window change. Rendered
with plain tables + CSS bars — the dashboard bundle ships no chart
library.
The cost figure is a deliberately rough estimate from a per-model
price table (`est_cost_usd`); it drifts with list pricing and is
labelled accordingly. The table is operator-tunable via the
`services.hyperhive.modelPrices` nix option — each key is a
model-family short name (matched case-insensitively as a substring of
the model id, longest match wins) mapping to
`{ input, output, cache_read, cache_write }` USD-per-million-token
prices. Models not covered fall back to hive-c0re's built-in estimate.
## P33RS tab
Peer hives in this swarm. The tab is hidden when the
`state.peer_hives` array from `/api/state` is empty — i.e. when
`services.hyperhive.swarm.hives` holds no hive other than this one.
When at least one peer is present the `hidden` attribute is removed
and the tab becomes active.
**P33R H1V3S** — each peer renders as a card row: a hexagon icon
(`⬡`), the peer's DNS domain as the primary name, and the peer
dashboard HTTPS URL as a clickable secondary link. Clicking the
URL opens the peer hive's dashboard in a new tab.
### Backend wiring
The host daemon reads `services.hyperhive.swarm.peerHives` from the
nix config (the `swarm.hives` directory minus this hive), serialises
each entry as `{ name, url }` into `state.peer_hives: Vec<PeerHiveView>`,
and includes the field in the `/api/state` snapshot. `tabs.js`
reads `state.peer_hives` on every `refreshState` call and calls
`swarm.js::renderPeerHives(peers)`, which rebuilds the `#peers-section`
div from scratch.
The `name` field is the peer's DNS domain (its entry's `domain`, not
the attrset key — the key is the hive's name); `url`
is `https://{domain}/`. Both are derived from the env var
`HYPERHIVE_PEERS` (a JSON array of `{ domain, cert_fingerprint }`
objects) that the nix module writes into the c0re container
environment. `cert_fingerprint` is null for CA-trusted (e.g.
Let's Encrypt) peers and non-null to pin a self-signed cert.
`parse_peer_hives()` in `dashboard.rs` converts each entry to the
`PeerHiveView { name: domain, url: "https://domain/" }` shape the
frontend reads.
## S3TT1NGS tab
Operator-local preferences. State lives in the browser's
`localStorage` — preferences do NOT sync between devices and
do NOT survive a profile wipe. Two sections today (browser
notifications, agent terminal); future preferences (theme, density,
etc.) land here as sibling `<h3>` blocks in `settings.html`.
**◇ browser notifications** — `🔔 enable notifications` button when
permission ungranted; `🔕 mute / 🔔 unmute` toggle once granted
(mute silences the dispatch without revoking the OS-level
permission). On unsupported origins (non-secure context, or
browsers without the `Notification` API) the controls hide and a
single status line explains why. See `### Browser notifications`
below for the dispatch model + the three signals the dashboard
emits OS notifications on.
**◇ agent terminal** — a single `☐/☑ expand tool output panels`
toggle button (`role="switch"`, live `aria-checked`). Controls whether
every per-agent page's terminal defaults otherwise-collapsed
`<details>` rows (long tool-results, Write/Edit diffs, …) open; rows
that already default open regardless (send/ask/answer/recv) are
unaffected either way. Pure client-side — the key + get/set live in
`@hive/shared/prefs.js` (`getExpandDetailsPref`/`setExpandDetailsPref`)
so this page and every agent page's `app.js` read/write the exact same
`localStorage` key without a backend field; the shared terminal
factory reads it live via its `expandDetails` option (see
docs/web-ui/shape.md::Shared terminal pane), so a change here applies
to any already-open agent tab's next rendered row without a reload.
The FL0W page does NOT host this pane — settings live only on the
dashboard's S3TT1NGS tab (reach it via the FL0W page's `← home`
back-link → Dashboard). Notifications still fire on the FL0W page when
they're enabled here, because `NOTIF.show()` in
`common.js` depends on `Notification.permission` + the
`hyperhive.notify.muted` localStorage key, not on the buttons
existing in the page DOM.
## M4TR1X page (`/matrix/`, optional)
A static matrix web client (default `pkgs.fluffychat-web` rebuilt
with `--base-href /matrix/`, swappable via
`services.hyperhive.swarm.matrix.gui.package`) served by the hive-gateway
nginx container at `/matrix/` when
`services.hyperhive.swarm.matrix.gui.enable` is on (defaults to
`matrix.enable`). c0re signals availability via the
`HIVE_MATRIX_GUI_ENABLED` env var → `state.matrix_gui_enabled` in
`/api/state`; the gateway does the actual static serving.
The operator opens `/matrix/` from the Matrix tile on the H0M3 hub, logs
in once with the in-host tuwunel homeserver URL
(`http://localhost:8008` or whatever the matrix module exposes).
The unified nginx-front re-root to
`https://chat.${hyperhive.swarm.domain}` + `.well-known/matrix/client`
auto-discovery lives in `docs/gateway.md` (atlas's lane).
## FL0W page (`/flow.html`)
A dedicated full-page terminal (not a tab pane — a separate HTML
page). Slim chrome: a `← home` back-link to the H0M3 hub, the FL0W
title, and the agent-filter select (see below). No dashboard tab
strip — FL0W is a standalone surface reached from the hub.
The operator inbox is **not** on this page — it lives on the
dashboard's Y3R C4LL tab (◆ 1NB0X ◆ section, with per-message and
mark-all read). FL0W stays the pure event firehose.
**MESS4GE FL0W** — live broker tail wrapped in a `.terminal-wrap`.
Cold load backfills the last ~200 messages from `/api/dashboard/history`;
live frames arrive on `/api/dashboard/stream`. Each row is one broker
event — `sent` or `delivered` — with `from → to: body`. When a `sent`
and `delivered` event for the same message arrive within 3 seconds
(immediate delivery to a live recipient), the row is upgraded in place
(arrow becomes green ✓, title reads "sent + delivered") instead of
rendering two near-identical lines — genuine delivery latency (recipient
was busy) still appears as a second row. Each row carries `data-from` /
`data-to` attributes; an **agent filter select in the FL0W header** narrows
the timeline to messages involving the chosen agent (matched on `from` OR
`to`), with non-matching rows hidden (`.flow-hidden` class). The selection
persists in localStorage across reloads; new rows pick up the active filter
at render time. The dropdown populates from the live container list and
stays current on add/remove; a saved selection survives even if that agent
isn't currently listed.
The row is a `flex-wrap: wrap` container holding ts / arrow / from / sep
/ to chips inline; the **body wraps to its own full-width line below** the
chips (`flex: 1 1 100%`) so the body always gets the full row width down to
the content edge — long timestamps + agent names used to push the body ~30ch
in and force awkward narrow-column wraps. `min-width: 0` keeps
`word-break: break-word` effective so the body doesn't force the row wider
than its container. Sticky-bottom auto-scroll + "↓ N new" pill. Below the
stream sits a terminal-style compose box: `@name` picks the recipient
(sticky via localStorage; auto-complete from the live container list,
Tab/Enter to confirm; `@*` broadcasts). `POST /api/op-send` drops
`{from:"operator", to, body}` into the broker; the resulting SSE frame
re-renders the terminal row. The root agent is addressed as `@root`.
## H0M3 page (`/`)
The H0M3 hub is the primary landing page (served at `/` by default). A
responsive grid of link tiles — Dashboard, Flow, Logs, Matrix (when enabled),
Forge (when enabled), among others (Builds, Stats, Settings, Core,
Credentials, API) — each pointing to their respective surfaces. The **API**
tile always shows (unlike Matrix/Forge, see below) and links to the
Swagger UI at `/api/docs`. The page
is a pure portal with no tab-bar or SSE subscriptions. Typography + colours
inherit from the shared theme (Catppuccin Mocha via `common.css` + `theme.css`).
Optional tiles are hidden until `home.js` confirms their availability:
Matrix is hidden until `home.js` confirms `matrix_gui_enabled` (same gating as
the dashboard's M4TR1X tab); Forge is hidden until `home.js` confirms both
`state.forge_present` **and** `state.forge_public_url` (sourced from
`services.hyperhive.forge.publicUrl`, which defaults to the gateway vhost URL
when `behindGateway=true` and is `null` otherwise) and fills the href from the
latter — never guessed from the operator's browser hostname + a container
port, which is only right by accident off plain localhost. Operators without
matrix or forge enabled — or with forge on but no public URL configured —
never see a dead or wrong link. `home.js` also fills the swarm/hive identity
line at the top. Dashboard is now served at `/dashboard.html` (route swap
completed in #1464 step 2); the home page at `/` replaces the old dashboard
root. All dashboard sub-pages include a `← Home` back-link for navigation.
## L0GS page (`/logs.html`)
A dedicated log-viewer page (not a tab pane — a separate HTML page),
reachable from the Logs tile on the H0M3 hub. Minimal chrome:
a `← home` back link and a three-item sub-tab strip. Tab
routing is hash-based (`#agent`, `#system`, `#audit`); default is
`#agent`. (Build log history has moved to the BU1LDS page — see above.)
**AGENT sub-tab** — per-container journald viewer. Two selects: agent
name (populated from `GET /api/state`) and unit filter
(`hive-agent.service` / `hive-mcp-http.service` /
`hive-bash-daemon.service` / `hive-matrix-daemon.service` /
`(full machine journal)`). Fetches
`GET /api/journal/{name}?unit=<unit>&lines=500` on selection change
or `↻ refresh`. Output rendered as a `<pre>` block. A `?agent=<name>`
and/or `?unit=<svc>` URL param pre-selects the agent + unit on page
load — the per-agent `⋮` menu's **journal logs →** entry uses this to
deep-link directly to a specific agent's journal. A "fetched N ago"
chip appears after the `↻ refresh` button following each successful
fetch and ticks every 30 s.
**SYSTEM sub-tab** — host-side service logs. Unit selector
(`hive-c0re.service` / `hive-priv.service`). Fetches
`GET /api/journal-host?unit=<unit>&lines=500` on activation
and on `↻ refresh`. Rendered as a `<pre>` block. A "fetched N ago"
chip ticks every 30 s. Available to the operator unconditionally (not
capability-gated — the endpoint lives on the hive-c0re dashboard,
behind the gateway).
**AUDIT sub-tab** — operator-visible trail of agent-initiated
privileged actions (e.g. infra-container restarts via `infra_admin`).
Lazy-fetched on tab show (like SYSTEM) from `GET /api/audit-log`, which
returns `{ entries, total }``entries` newest-first, server-clamped to
the latest 500; `total` drives a "latest 500 of N" count so the clamp is
never silent. Rendered as a filterable table (when / agent / action /
target / outcome / detail); the filter box is a client-side substring
match over the cached rows. The outcome badge colours `ok` green and
`err` red, with an `err` whose `detail` starts `denied:` (a capability
refusal) shown amber and labelled `denied` so it reads apart from an
execution failure. `ts_unix` is an RFC 3339 string; a 30 s ticker keeps the
relative "ago" column honest while the tab is in view. The backing
`audit_log` store records every privileged-action attempt (ok / err /
denied). New entries live-append without a refresh: an `audit_entry_added`
event on `/api/dashboard/stream` (the flattened row) is prepended to the table
and the "latest N of M" count bumped, de-duped by id against the cold
fetch.
## Container row
A full-height **square agent icon** (5em, capped) on the left. The
icon is the **selection toggle**: click (or Enter/Space) adds/removes
the agent from the selection set; `aria-pressed` reflects the state;
the tooltip says "select … for bulk actions" or "deselect … (or press
Esc to clear all)". The `<img>` points at `<url>/icon`; load failure
falls back to the dimmed hyperhive mark (`/favicon.svg`). The card
body sits to the right with three stacked lines
(`assets/swarm.js::renderContainers`).
**Icon layout + load strategy:** the `<img>` is absolutely
positioned (`inset: 0`) inside the `.container-icon` wrapper —
the wrapper is the flex child and sizes itself via `width: 5em` +
`aspect-ratio: 1`, the `<img>` is out of flow so its load state
(pending, loaded, broken) can never contribute intrinsic size or
reflow the row. Without that, the row would briefly grow as the
image's natural dimensions arrived, then snap back on
`object-fit: contain`. The load itself is fire-and-forget: the
dashboard doesn't pre-check whether the agent is reachable, it
just lets the `<img>` try and listens for an `error` event. On
failure the handler swaps the `src` to `/favicon.svg` (served by
the dashboard itself, always reachable) and adds the
`icon-unreachable` class for the dimmed look. When the container
is known stopped up front (`ContainerView.running = false`) the
fallback fires immediately, skipping the doomed `<url>/icon`
fetch entirely.
- Line 1: agent name (link → new tab), m1nd/ag3nt chip, an
**icon-only nav strip** plus live agent-owned state, all populated
async from a single `GET /api/dashboard-state` call to the
agent's own backend. The response (`DashboardState`) carries:
`links` (nav strip entries — `📊 stats`, `🖥 screen` when GUI is
enabled, `⬡ forge profile`, `↳ agent-configs mirror`, plus any
agent-declared `dashboardLinks` extras), `status_text` /
`status_set_at` (agent self-reported status — the `(set N ago)`
chip is stamped `data-set-at` and ticks every 30s to stay fresh
across the long-lived keyed row cache), `rate_limited`,
`ctx_tokens` / `context_window_tokens` (context-window badge
data). The agent backend is the single source of truth for all
of these. The dashboard resolves each `AgentLink.kind` against a
per-agent base URL depending on whether hive-gateway is in front
(`StateSnapshot.gateway_enabled`, sourced from the
`HIVE_GATEWAY_ENABLED` env the c0re NixOS module sets when
`services.hyperhive.gateway.enable = true`). Gateway-on (default):
base URL is `/agent/<name>` (same origin, gateway proxies to the
per-agent harness — TCP or unix-domain depending on the agent's
`HIVE_WEB_SOCKET` opt-in, see
`docs/gateway.md::Per-agent unix-socket upstream`).
Gateway-off (legacy / local dev): base URL is
`http://<host>:<container.port>` (direct TCP fallback). Forge
links resolve against `state.forge_public_url` (sourced from
`services.hyperhive.forge.publicUrl`) and are omitted entirely when
that's unset — never guessed from `<host>:3000`. External links are
already absolute. The same base URL drives the primary agent-name
link + favicon fetch, so the whole row routes through the gateway
as a unit.
**When the container is stopped** (`ContainerView.running = false`),
the async `dashboard-state` fetch is skipped entirely (the agent
web server is down), so the badge chain is replaced by a single
badge, the nav strip is empty, and status text / rate-limited / ctx
badges are suppressed. The agent icon goes straight to the dimmed
`/favicon.svg` fallback instead of attempting a doomed load from the
container's URL. Static fields — `needs_update`, `deployed_sha`,
`pending_reminders`, `parent`, `config` link — remain visible
regardless of run state.
**Which single badge (hyperhive#3139):** `ContainerView.failed`
(systemd `ActiveState=failed` — the unit exhausted its bounded
restarts and gave up on its own) draws a red `✖ gave up` badge;
otherwise a plain muted `■ not running` — a container an operator
stopped deliberately. Both states read `running: false`; `failed` is
the orthogonal fact (a fifth one alongside `paused`/`needs_update`/
`needs_login`, same "independent flags, no state machine" shape —
see `ContainerView`'s own doc comment) that tells them apart. An
older backend without the field serves `failed: undefined`, which
reads falsy — degrades cleanly to the single `not running` badge.
When the container is running, status badges follow — `⊘ rate
limited` (red, while the harness is parked after a 429), `needs
login`, `needs update` — plus **one `◐ pending-state…` pill per
active transient** (replaces buttons during operator-initiated
start / stop / restart / rebuild / destroy). An agent can carry
**several transients at once** (mara: "show all running nodes that
name the agent") — e.g. a lease-exempt `prebuild` running alongside
a `stop_for_update` on the same agent — and each renders as its own
independent badge rather than being collapsed into one label,
matching the existing multi-badge convention this line already uses
for `paused`/`needs_update`/model/ctx.
Any pending badge means the row is actually **running** something
right now — there is no separate queued-but-not-started row state
to visually distinguish it from (see **Pending-badge derivation**
below), so every row carrying ≥1 badge keeps the amber row tint AND
draws a **rotating amber ring** around the agent icon.
**Pending-badge derivation:** transients only (`transientsState`,
keyed `agent -> Map<kind, since_unix>`) — a transient is **derived
from a job-queue node currently `Running`** against that agent, not
declared per request, so its label follows the operation as it
progresses (a rebuild reads `stop_for_update`, then `swap`, then
`reconcile` rather than one constant `rebuilding` for its whole
life). Two consequences for anything rendering it:
- The label vocabulary is **open** — it is the node's own wire tag
(`NodeKind::as_str`, the same strings the graph wire's node
labels carry),
not a fixed set. Treat it as an opaque display string; do not
switch on specific values. `restarting` in particular no longer
exists, because no node kind is unique to a restart.
- It is **not** exclusively operator-initiated, and **not** limited
to rebuild-shaped work — `running_transients()` on the backend is
a status-only test (any `Running` node whose payload names a
non-empty agent lights a pill), so work the operator never
clicked (a meta-update cascade, a crash-recover rebuild, a
lease-exempt `prebuild`) lights the same mechanism.
Ops with no queue node behind them (destroy, migration) supply
their own label directly via `TransientSet`/`TransientCleared`
events carrying no backing node at all.
**Queued (not-yet-started) work shows nothing on the card.** An
earlier version of this page had a job-queue-backed fallback badge
for the `Pending` case (`queuedOpsByAgent()`, reading a `GET
/api/jobq/graph` fetch); removed per mara, on review of
hyperhive#3028's PR: *"swarm.js should not need to pull in the jobq
to do its job,"* followed by *"remove the per agent pending stuff -
only show what is running."* Per-agent badges never came back — only
the queue-summary banner below did, once a narrow enough endpoint
existed for it to read instead of the full graph.
An **active model badge** (`model · <name>`, blue) appears when the
container is running and the harness has persisted a model name
(`harness/hyperhive-model`). Read by hive-c0re's `ContainerView`
(`read_active_model`); absent until the agent has completed at least
one turn and stale values are suppressed for stopped containers.
A `ctx · Nk` chip showing the agent's last-turn context size,
populated from `DashboardState.ctx_tokens` (absent until the
agent has completed at least one turn). The chip colour (green /
yellow / red) is keyed off `DashboardState.context_window_tokens`
(the real context window for the model the agent last ran on,
authoritative from the agent side); the badge goes yellow ≥ 50%
and red ≥ 75% of that window, matching the harness compaction
watermarks. When the window value is absent the badge falls back
to fixed 100k / 150k thresholds.
- Line 2: status badges only (no per-card action buttons — actions
moved to the **selection bar** or the **per-agent `⋮` menu**, see
below).
**Per-agent `⋮` overflow menu** — a `⋮` button appears on the right
edge of each container row. Clicking it opens a small dropdown with
per-agent actions and navigation links. Contents:
- `↺ R3ST4RT` (running agents only) / `■ ST0P` (running only) /
`▶ ST4RT` (stopped only) — single-agent run-state toggles.
Identical to the bulk actions on the selection bar but operate
on one agent without requiring a selection click.
- `↻ R3BU1LD` — always available; queues a rebuild for this agent.
- `journal logs →` — opens `/logs.html#agent?agent=<name>` so the
operator lands directly in the AGENT log tab pre-filtered to this
container, without having to pick an agent from the dropdown.
- `DESTR0Y` / `PURG3` — destructive, each prompts for confirmation
via the themed dialog (see **Themed dialogs** below).
- `deployed:<sha> ↗` — present when the agent has a `deployed_sha`
and the forge is reachable; links the deployed commit on the forge
agent-configs mirror.
`↻ UPD4TE 4LL` button appears above the containers list when any
agent is stale. Banner pulses on each broker SSE event
(`pulseBanner` with a 4s grace timer).
**Build-queue summary banner** — when the job queue has any active
work, a compact amber banner sits above the container list: `◐ build
queue — N running · M queued — view queue →` (the link goes to the
BU1LDS page's R3BU1LD QU3U3). Reads `GET /api/jobq/rollup`
(`hive-jobq-wire::state_rollup`, `jobqRollupState` in `swarm.js`) —
`Vec<{ state, nodes, roots }>`, every lifecycle state present in a
fixed order, zero counts included — rather than the full
`/api/jobq/graph` tree: `running` sums the `Running` and `Finishing`
entries' `roots` (`Finishing` = own work done, subtree still going,
still in flight), `queued` reads the `Pending` entry's `roots`.
`roots` specifically, not `nodes` — the banner has always meant *N
whole operations*, not raw steps (one rebuild is ~7 nodes but 1
root); `nodes` exists on the same endpoint for a consumer that wants
step-level counts instead, unused here.
This banner went through two prior shapes before landing here, both
per mara review comments on hyperhive#3028's PR: a client-side
derivation over the full graph (*"swarm.js should not need to pull in
the jobq to do its job"*), then removed entirely rather than keep
that interim fetch (*"dont replace one legacy thing with another"*).
Restored once the dedicated rollup endpoint (hyperhive#3033) existed
for it to read directly instead.
### Themed dialogs
All confirmations, prompts, and transient error notices use an
in-app themed dialog system (`assets/modal.js`) rather than the
browser's native `confirm()` / `prompt()` / `alert()` chrome, so
they match the Catppuccin palette and can't be styled away by the
OS. Three primitives, all built on the `openDialog` core:
- `themedConfirm({ message, danger, confirmLabel, checkboxes })`
— a modal confirm that resolves to `null` on cancel or an object
of checkbox states on confirm. Destructive actions pass
`danger: true` (the confirm button turns red and the cancel
button takes focus). Backdrop click and `Esc` both cancel.
- `themedPrompt(...)` — a modal with a text input, resolving to the
entered string or `null`.
- `themedToast({ type, ... })` — a non-blocking toast (top-right,
`info` / `error` / `ok`) for transient validation + action
failures, so an error doesn't trap the operator behind a modal.
Single-action errors auto-dismiss; bulk / partial-failure
summaries are sticky (click to dismiss) so they aren't missed.
Every destructive run-state action (`ST0P`, `R3ST4RT`, `R3BU1LD`,
`DESTR0Y`, `PURG3`, `M0V3`) routes through `themedConfirm`, on both
the per-agent `⋮` menu and the bulk selection bar.
**Graceful stop** — the `■ ST0P` confirm dialog (per-agent and
bulk) carries a `stop gracefully — let the agent finish its turn
and flush state before the container stops` checkbox. When ticked,
the action POSTs `/api/kill/<name>?graceful=true` (the bulk path
appends the flag per-agent); unticked is the instant hard stop
(`/api/kill/<name>` with no query). The backend enqueues a
`GracefulStop` rebuild-queue transient: the harness runs one
stop-checkpoint turn (so the agent can flush `/state`) and then
exits, with a 3-minute timeout that falls back to a hard stop. The
quiescing progress surfaces through the same rebuild-queue
transient + build log the card already reads for a rebuild. (The
`hivectl --graceful` CLI flag enqueues the same `GracefulStop`, so
the dashboard and CLI paths behave identically.)
### Topology tree
Container rows render as a forest, not a flat list — each agent
sits indented under its declared parent. `swarm.js::buildAgentTree`
walks `ContainerView.parent` for every container in the snapshot
and produces a render order with per-row depth + sibling-position
info:
- Top-level rows are agents with `parent = null` OR a parent that
doesn't appear in the container map (orphans get hoisted to root
so they're still visible).
- Within each level children sort alphabetically by name; roots
likewise.
- Cycle safety: any container not reached during the root-walk is
appended at the end as a root, so no agent ever silently
disappears from the list when the topology JSON is malformed.
- The pre-topology rendering shape (every container at depth 0,
flat list) collapses to the same visual today when no parent
field is set — bit-identical fallback path.
The per-row prefix column (`.tree-prefix`) is **DOM-painted, not
text-glyph-painted**. Each indent lane is its own positioned
`<span>` so CSS can draw full-height vertical bars that bridge the
gap between sibling rows; using text box-drawing characters
(`├─`, `└─`, `│ `) only paints one text-line tall and leaves
visible breaks between the taller-than-one-line container cards.
The bars come in two flavours: continuation (the ancestor's
subtree extends below this row → vertical line top→bottom) or
blank (ancestor was the last sibling at its level → no line
needed). The joint at the row's own depth column is `├` (more
siblings below) or `└` (last sibling at this depth — vertical
stops at the row's icon midline).
**Indent + lane geometry.** Each depth level shifts the row right
by `1.8em` (the lane width). The per-depth ladders are hardcoded
for six levels — enough for any plausible hive topology, and the
typed `attr()` function from CSS Values 5 that would collapse
this to one rule is still partial-support (Chromium-only as of
2026). The `.tree-prefix` span sits absolutely positioned with
`left: -<depth>*1.8em` so its right edge meets the row content
(the icon) and its leftmost lane lines up with top-level rows'
icons at `x = 0`. Each `.tree-lane` is `flex: 0 0 1.8em` so all
lanes have equal width. Continuation bars are drawn at lane
center (`left: 0.6em`, `border-left: 1px solid currentColor`,
`top: 0; bottom: 0`) and extend through `.containers { gap: 0.4em }`
into the next sibling's prefix (`bottom: -0.4em` on the prefix
span itself) so adjacent ancestor lines visually merge into one
unbroken vertical line. The horizontal stub at a row's own joint
lands at the icon midline so the L/T meets the icon edge cleanly.
When every container has `parent = null` (pre-topology state) the
`[data-depth]` attribute is absent on every row and these rules
are no-ops — the layout reads exactly like the legacy flat list.
## Selection bar
Per-card action buttons (`R3ST4RT` / `ST0P` / `ST4RT` / `R3BU1LD` /
`DESTR0Y` / `PURG3`) used to live on each container row; the
operator picked the bulk-bar model instead. Clicking an agent's
icon toggles its selection (an in-memory `Set<name>`); `Esc` or
the bar's `✕ clear` button drops everything. The selection
persists across tab switches in-memory — the bar just hides on
non-SW4RM tabs since other tabs don't show the agent cards needed
to cross-reference.
When one or more agents are selected (via icon click), a sticky
frosted-mauve bar slides up from the bottom of the viewport
(`#selection-bar`, `position: fixed; bottom: 0`). It shows:
- **Count + names** — "N agents selected · name1, name2, …"
- **Bulk action buttons** — only enabled when ALL selected agents
support the action; disabled with a tooltip naming the blockers
when the selection is mixed:
- `↺ R3ST4RT` — running agents only
- `■ ST0P` — running agents only
- `▶ ST4RT` — stopped agents only
- `↻ R3BU1LD` — always available
- `DESTR0Y` / `PURG3` — always available
- `⇡ M0V3 → ROOT` — promote selected agents to top-level
(parent = null); disabled when all selected are already at root.
Backend `topology::set_parent` refuses moves it can't satisfy
(e.g. a move that would create a cycle) and the refusal surfaces
in the failure roll-up.
- `⇢ M0V3 → [select]` — inline picker available for any
selection size. The dropdown lists every container that isn't IN
the selection itself nor a descendant of any selected agent
(client-side BFS cycle prevention across the whole batch; the
backend re-checks per-agent). On submit:
- **single agent** → `POST /api/topology/set-parent`
(form-encoded `child=<name>&new_parent=<target>`)
- **multiple agents** → `POST /api/topology/set-parent-bulk`
(JSON `[{ child, new_parent }]`; all moves land in a single
`topology.json` commit instead of one per agent)
Both write `topology.json` and re-emit a container snapshot so
the tree repaints without a page reload.
- **`✕ clear`** button + `Esc` key clear the entire selection.
Stale selections (agents destroyed while selected) are pruned on
every render before the bar appears.
## Approval card
Each pending approval renders as a card (`assets/call.js::
renderApprovals`) with three stacked sections:
- **identity header** — glyph, `#id`, agent, kind chip, and a
right-aligned `requested <N> ago` relative time from
`ApprovalView.requested_at`. Glyph and chip vary by kind:
| kind | glyph | chip | sha shown |
|---|---|---|---|
| `merge_config_pr` | `⇒` | `merge-pr` | PR-head sha (`sha_short`) |
| `update_meta_inputs` | `↻` | `meta-update` | — |
| `schedule_prompt` | `⏱` | `schedule` | — |
| `init_config` | `⊕` | `init` | — |
| `spawn` | `⊕` | `spawn` | — |
The chip ticks live every second via a `data-requested-at`
attribute + client-side interval (no re-render). Turns amber once
the request has been pending ≥ 1h so a stale approval stands out;
the `.stale` class flips precisely at the 3600s boundary rather
than at the next `renderApprovals` call.
- **what-changed body** — the submitting agent's description, then
kind-specific drill-in triggers:
- `merge_config_pr`: `↳ review PR on forge ↗` deep-links the
config PR into `agent-configs/<agent>/pulls/<pr_number>` (shown
only when `forge_present` and `pr_number` is set). The config diff
lives on the forge PR itself — no inline diff side-panel.
- `init_config` / `spawn`: a one-line "container will be created"
note instead.
- **decision actions** — `◆ APPR0VE` and `DENY`. Deny pops a
`prompt()` for an optional reason carried to the submitting agent as
`HelperEvent::ApprovalResolved.note`.
A `pending · N` / `history · N` tab pair switches the section
between the live queue and the last 30 resolved approvals.
## Browser notifications
Pure frontend (`Notification` API). Three signals trigger them:
- new pending approval (per id, delta on `/api/state`)
- new pending operator question (per id)
- new broker message sent `to: "operator"` (live via SSE)
The toggle controls live in the `S3TT1NGS` tab (`#settings`); see
that section above for the user-facing shape. Dispatch logic lives
in `common.js::NOTIF`.
First `/api/state` after page load seeds "seen" sets without
firing — only items that arrive while the page is open count.
Per-event tags (`hyperhive:approval:<id>`, `hyperhive:question:<id>`,
`hyperhive:msg:<at>:<rand>`) so distinct events stack in the OS
notification center instead of overwriting each other.
`console.debug` logs at every block point (unsupported,
permission ungranted, muted) for in-browser debugging. Click
focuses the dashboard tab. The localStorage key
`hyperhive.notify.muted` (`"1"` = muted, absent = unmuted) backs
the toggle and silences dispatch without revoking the OS
permission. Requires a secure context (HTTPS or localhost); on
other origins the controls hide themselves. Browsers typically
suppress notifications while the originating tab is focused —
that's a browser-level decision, not ours.
## Dashboard endpoints
Also browsable interactively at `/api/docs` (a Swagger UI, linked from
the H0M3 hub's **API** tile), with the raw spec at `/api/openapi.json`.
It's a growing supplement, not yet a full replacement for the list
below — some endpoints aren't in it yet.
- `POST /api/approve/{id}` — approve a pending approval. Fires
`ApprovalResolved` on the dashboard event channel; client
updates derived approvals state from the event.
- `POST /api/deny/{id}` (`note=<reason>`, optional) — deny a pending
approval with an optional operator-supplied reason. The reason
travels to the submitting agent as `HelperEvent::ApprovalResolved.note`
and also rides on the dashboard's `ApprovalResolved` event.
Dashboard prompts via the themed `themedPrompt()` dialog on
click — a resizable `<textarea>` where Enter submits and
Shift+Enter inserts a newline (so multi-sentence rejection
notes are possible).
- `POST /api/{rebuild,kill,restart,start,destroy}/{name}` — lifecycle.
`destroy` accepts `purge=on` to also wipe state dirs.
- `POST /api/purge-tombstone/{name}` — wipe a tombstone's state dirs.
- `POST /api/answer-question/{id}` — answer a pending operator question.
- `POST /api/cancel-question/{id}` — cancel a pending question with
the sentinel `[cancelled]`. Same code path as a real answer.
- `POST /api/request-spawn` — queue a Spawn approval.
- `POST /api/update-all` — rebuild every stale container.
- `POST /api/rebuild-queue/{id}/cancel` — drop a `Queued` entry.
Refuses `Running` / terminal-state entries (in-flight
rebuilds can't be safely interrupted). Always 200; body is
`{"cancelled": true}` on a successful flip or
`{"cancelled": false}` when the entry was not in `Queued` state.
- `POST /api/agent/{name}/mark-all-read` — ack all pending broker
messages for `{name}`. Backfills `delivered_at` for rows
not yet delivered and sets `acked_at = now`. Returns
`{ "marked": N }`. Agent name validated against
`[a-z0-9_-]`, 1-63 chars; 400 on bad input.
- `GET /api/operator-inbox` — list unread messages addressed to
`to="operator"` (broker rows with `acked_at = NULL`). Cold-loaded
for the Y3R C4LL tab's ◆ 1NB0X ◆ section on page load + tab activation;
live updates fed from the broker `sent` stream. Returns
`{ messages: [{ id, from, body, at, in_reply_to, file_refs }, …] }`,
newest-first. Reuses `/api/agent/operator/mark-all-read` to ack (filters
are identical so every listed row is exactly what mark-read clears).
- `POST /api/op-send` (`to=<name>`, `body=<text>`) — drop an
operator-authored message into `<name>`'s inbox. `to=*` fans
out to every registered agent. Returns 200; the broker
`Sent` event re-renders the message-flow terminal without a
snapshot refetch. Used by the compose textbox under MESS4GE FL0W.
- `GET /api/build-logs/{agent}?limit=N` — most-recent build log
headers for one agent, newest first. Returns
`Vec<BuildLogHeader>` (JSON): `id`, `agent`, `kind`, `cmdline`,
`started_at`, `finished_at`, `status` (`"ok"` / `"fail"` /
`null` while in-progress). `limit` defaults to 10, server-side
cap at 50. Agent name validated (`[a-z0-9_-]`, 1-63 chars).
- `GET /api/build-logs/id/{id}` — full build log by id. Returns
`BuildLogFull` (JSON): all header fields plus `stdout` and
`stderr` as plain text (newline-terminated lines, utf-8). HTTP
404 when the row is missing (vacuum-reaped or stale id).
- `GET /api/build-logs/id/{id}/stream` — live SSE stream of
stdout+stderr for an in-progress build (newline-delimited JSON
frames). Used by the expanding live-row view in BU1LDS. The
stream closes when the build finishes or errors.
- `GET /api/build-logs/id/{id}/raw` — raw concatenated
stdout+stderr as `text/plain`. Used by the `↓ raw` / `↓ download
raw` links in BU1LDS. Works on both finished and in-progress
build logs.
- `GET /api/journal/{name}?unit=&lines=` — journalctl viewer for
a managed container; rendered in the side panel.
- `GET /api/audit-log` — agent-initiated privileged-action audit
trail. Returns `{ entries, total }`: `entries` is a `Vec<AuditEntry>`
(`id`, `ts_unix` as RFC 3339, `agent`, `action`, `target`, `outcome`
`"ok"`/`"err"`, `detail` nullable), newest first, server-clamped to
500; `total` is the full row count for a "latest 500 of N" header.
Backs the LOGS page AUDIT sub-tab.
- `GET /static/marked.js` serves the vendored `marked` bundle used
for markdown previews.
- `GET /api/state-file?path=<host-or-container-path>` — bounded
text read of a file under the per-agent `state/` subtree or
the shared `/var/lib/hyperhive/shared/`. Accepts the
container-view forms (`/agents/<n>/state/...`, `/shared/...`)
and the host form. Canonicalises + verifies the path stays
inside the allow-list, refuses anything but a regular file,
refuses `/agents/<n>/claude` / `config` subtrees, truncates
bodies at 1 MiB. Click-time backing for the inline path-link
preview.
Detection of which tokens *are* path links is done
**server-side at broker-message ingest**, not client-side:
the broker forwarder calls `scan_validated_paths(body)`
same allow-list helper the read endpoint uses — and attaches
the verified file tokens to the event as `file_refs: Vec<String>`.
The client trusts that list and linkifies only those tokens,
so directories, missing files, and forbidden subtrees never
become anchors. No probe endpoint, no client-side regex
heuristics. Historical messages get the same treatment on
`/api/dashboard/history` backfill.
- `GET /api/reminders` — list pending reminders for the
dashboard's queued-reminders panel.
- `GET /api/stats-hive?window=<1h|4h|24h|3d|7d|30d|all>` — hive-wide
turn-stats rollup for the ST4TS tab. Aggregates every agent's
`hyperhive-turn-stats.sqlite` read-only (skips missing / unreadable /
zero-turn dbs); returns swarm totals, a busiest-first per-agent
rollup, swarm model mix, and a labelled `est_cost_usd`. Window
defaults to `24h`.
- `GET /api/container-resources` — live per-agent-container CPU +
memory from cgroup v2 (C0R3 C0NT41N3R L04D panel). Returns one
row per running agent (`name`, `cpu_pct`, `mem_current_bytes`,
`mem_peak_bytes`, `mem_max_bytes`, `disk_bytes`); samples CPU over
~200 ms so the call briefly awaits. Skips non-running agents (no scope
dir). No network field — agents share the host netns. `disk_bytes` is
the last value from a **separate slow sampler** (not this hot path):
a background `du -sxb` of the agent's state dir + container writable
rootfs every ~5 min, `-x` excluding the shared read-only nix store.
`null` until the first sample lands.
- `POST /api/infra-container/{name}/{action}` — start / stop / restart a
hive infra service (C0R3 1NFR4 panel). `name` parses into the
`InfraContainer` allowlist (`hive-ci`/`hive-forge`/`hive-gateway`/
`hive-matrix`, 400 on unknown), and the variant decides the unit —
`container@<name>.service`, or `nginx.service` for the gateway.
`action``start|stop|restart`. Calls
the same `priv_client::control_infra_container` helper the
`infra_admin` agent path uses; records an `audit_log` entry
(`start_infra`/`stop_infra`/`restart_infra`, actor `"operator"`) either
way.
- `POST /api/cancel-reminder/{id}` — hard-delete a pending reminder.
- `POST /api/retry-reminder/{id}` — re-arm a reminder whose delivery
failed (clears the failure state so the scheduler retries).
- `GET /api/tool-groups` — returns `{ groups: Vec<String>,
assignments: BTreeMap<String, Vec<String>>,
descriptions: BTreeMap<String, String> }`. `groups` is the
ordered list of all known tool-group names (drives the column
headers in the P3RM1SS10NS tab); `assignments` is the per-agent
override map (absent agents use the role default); `descriptions`
maps each group name to a short human-readable string surfaced as
a column-header tooltip on hover.
- `POST /api/tool-groups/{agent}` — body `{ groups: ["name", …] }`.
Writes the tool-group set for `{agent}` to
`/var/lib/hyperhive/meta/tool-groups.json` and queues a rebuild so
`HIVE_TOOL_GROUPS` takes effect. Agent name validated;
`guard_agent_name` applied.
- `GET /api/capabilities` — returns `{ caps: Vec<String>,
assignments: BTreeMap<String, Vec<String>>,
descriptions: BTreeMap<String, String> }`. `caps` is the
ordered list of all known capability names; `assignments` is the
per-agent grant map (absent agents have no extra capabilities);
`descriptions` maps each capability name to a short human-readable
string surfaced as a column-header tooltip on hover.
- `POST /api/capabilities/{agent}` — body `{ caps: ["name", …] }`.
Writes the capability set for `{agent}` to
`/var/lib/hyperhive/meta/capabilities.json` and queues a rebuild so
`HIVE_CAPABILITIES` takes effect. Agent name validated;
unknown capability strings are rejected (400). `guard_agent_name`
applied.
- `POST /api/permissions` — batch perm apply for the save-all
permissions button. Body
`{ changes: [{ agent, tool_groups?: ["name", …], capabilities?: ["name", …] }] }`.
Sparse per agent: an omitted field leaves that perm-type untouched,
an empty array clears it, a populated array fully replaces it (same
replace semantics as the per-agent endpoints above). Each affected
agent gets ONE combined `PermChange` queue entry, so changing both
an agent's tool-groups and capabilities triggers a single rebuild,
not two. **Atomic**: every change is validated first (agent names via
`guard_agent_name`, group + capability names) and on any validation
error nothing is written or enqueued (non-2xx `{ error }`); rows with
both fields omitted are skipped, not errors. Returns `200 "ok"` on
success.
- `GET /api/schedules` — list all schedules (active and
recently cancelled) for the SCH3DUL3S scheduled-prompts panel.
- `POST /api/schedules` — operator-direct schedule create:
`{ targets, body, first_fire_at_unix, interval_seconds?, description? }`.
Agent-initiated schedules go through the approval queue instead
(via the `request_schedule_prompt` MCP tool).
- `PATCH /api/schedules/{id}` — partial edit. JSON body
`{ body?, description?, interval_seconds?, next_fire_at_unix?,
targets_add?, targets_remove? }`.
Missing key = "leave alone"; explicit `null` on
`description` / `interval_seconds` clears the field (so a
recurring schedule flips to one-shot when `interval_seconds`
is sent as `null`). `targets_add` is replace-on-conflict:
re-adding a previously-cancelled target drops the tombstone
and the target starts fresh (operator intent on re-add =
"this target is active again"). `targets_remove` delegates
to the same path as `cancel_targets` — tombstones preserve
audit, parent schedule auto-cancels when no active targets
remain. Refuses cancelled rows; returns the updated
`WireSchedule` on success.
- `POST /api/schedules/{id}/cancel` — cancel a schedule. Body
`{ targets?: ["name", …] }` cancels just those recipients;
absent or empty body cancels the whole schedule.
- `POST /api/schedules/{id}/fire-now` — out-of-band manual
pulse. Fires the schedule body once immediately to
every active target. Recurring schedules: `next_fire_at_unix`
is untouched; the regular cadence continues. One-shots: the
schedule is consumed (cancelled) after the manual fan-out.
Per-target `last_result` is annotated as a manual fire so
the audit trail distinguishes scheduled fires from operator-
triggered ones.
- `POST /api/schedules/{id}/pause` — pause a recurring or
one-shot schedule. A paused schedule does not fire regardless
of `next_fire_at`; the row gains a `⏸ paused` badge.
- `POST /api/schedules/{id}/resume` — resume a paused schedule.
Clears the pause flag without adjusting `next_fire_at`.
- `POST /api/meta-update` — `nix flake update` the selected
`meta/flake.lock` inputs, then rebuild the affected agents.
- `GET /api/dashboard/stream` — unified live event channel:
broker `sent` / `delivered`, plus the mutation events listed
below. Each frame carries `seq`.
- `GET /api/dashboard/history` — last ~200 broker messages
(wrapped as `{ seq, events }`) for the message-flow
terminal's backfill on page load.
## Dashboard event channel
Wire vocabulary on `/api/dashboard/stream` (kind tag is in the JSON
payload):
- `sent` / `delivered` — broker traffic, mirrored from the
intra-process channel by a forwarder task. Both carry `id: i64`
(the broker row id) and `in_reply_to: Option<i64>` for thread
rendering. The dashboard message-flow terminal renders reply
rows with a `↳ reply` tag that scroll-highlights the parent
row on click. Used by the message-flow terminal renderer and
the operator-inbox derived state.
- `approval_added` (id, agent, approval_kind, sha_short, diff,
description) / `approval_resolved` (id, agent, approval_kind,
sha_short, status, resolved_at, note, description) — pending
queue + history mutations. Client mutates a derived store and
re-renders only the approvals section.
- `question_added` (id, asker, question, options, multi,
asked_at, deadline_at, target) / `question_resolved` (id,
answer, answerer, answered_at, cancelled, target) — both
operator-targeted and peer (agent-to-agent) threads fire
these. The dashboard's questions pane surfaces both, with
filter chips (all / @operator / @peer / per-participant) and
an `0V3RR1D3` button on peer rows so the operator can
answer when an agent is stuck. The ttl watchdog fires
`question_resolved` with `answerer = "ttl-watchdog"` on
expiry.
- `transient_set` (name, transient_kind, since_unix) /
`transient_cleared` (name) — lifecycle action spinners. The
client ticks the elapsed-seconds badge off `since_unix`
client-side, no polling. `transient_kind` is an **open**
display string (the running node's own tag), not a fixed
enum — render it, don't branch on it.
- `container_state_changed` (container: ContainerView) /
`container_removed` (name) — per-row container mutations,
emitted by `Coordinator::rescan_containers_and_emit` from
every mutation site (`actions::approve` post-spawn,
`actions::destroy`, the lifecycle_action wrapper,
`auto_update::rebuild_agent`) and from the 10s
`crash_watch` poll. Client upserts/removes by name; the
pending overlay is read from `transientsState` since the
payload doesn't carry it.
- `rebuild_queue_changed` (seq) — **payload-free trigger**, fired on
every queue mutation (enqueue, state transition, dedup collapse,
terminal-history trim). Unlike the snapshot events below it ships
no state at all: the client re-fetches `GET /api/jobq/graph`, which
is where it reads the queue from cold too. There is no
`/api/state.rebuild_queue` — it went with the typed projection.
- `schedules_changed` (seq, schedules: `Vec<WireSchedule>`) —
full snapshot of all scheduled prompts. Emitted after every
operator mutation via the `/api/schedules` surface (new /
edit / cancel / fire-now) and after the worker fires or
rearms a row. Same snapshot-shape rationale as
`tombstones_changed` / `meta_inputs_changed` (small list, no
add/remove races). The SCH3DUL3S tab subscribes and
re-renders `schedulesState` on receipt; tab activation still
re-fetches as a safety net for approval-path inserts and
disconnect windows.
- `reminders_changed` (seq, reminders: `Vec<PendingReminder>`) —
full snapshot of all pending reminders. Emitted after every
reminder mutation: agent `remind` calls (`agent_server`),
operator cancel / retry (`/api/system/reminders/*`), `cancel_loose_end`
with Reminder kind, and the scheduler tick after each delivery
batch (`reminder_scheduler`). The SCH3DUL3S tab's reminders section
subscribes and calls `renderReminders` on receipt, so the list
updates live without polling.
- `capabilities_changed` (seq, caps: `Vec<str>`, descriptions: map,
assignments: `BTreeMap<String, Vec<String>>`) — full snapshot of
capability grants. Emitted from the rebuild-queue worker after a
`PermChange` / Capabilities entry commits the JSON file. Payload
matches `GET /api/capabilities` shape so `renderCapabilities` can
be called directly. P3RM1SS10NS tab subscribes; activation
re-fetch still runs as a safety net.
- `tool_groups_changed` (seq, groups: `Vec<str>`, descriptions: map,
assignments: `BTreeMap<String, Vec<String>>`) — full snapshot of
tool-group assignments. Emitted from the rebuild-queue worker after
a `PermChange` / ToolGroups entry commits the JSON file. Same
shape as `GET /api/tool-groups`; P3RM1SS10NS tab subscribes.
- `tombstones_changed` (seq, tombstones: `Vec<TombstoneView>`) —
full snapshot of destroyed-but-state-kept agents. Emitted on
destroy, purge, and revive. C0R3 K3PT ST4T3 tab subscribes.
- `meta_inputs_changed` (seq, inputs: `Vec<MetaInput>`) — full
snapshot of `meta/flake.lock` inputs. BU1LDS M3T4 1NPUTS tab
subscribes; same shape as `GET /api/meta-inputs`.
- `meta_update_running` (running: bool) — emitted when a
`nix flake update` ripple starts or completes. BU1LDS M3T4 1NPUTS
tab uses this to show/hide the "⏳ meta-update running" banner.
- `audit_entry_added` (flattened `AuditEntry` fields: id, ts_unix,
agent, action, target, outcome, detail) — a single new audit-log
row. L0GS AUDIT sub-tab live-prepends the row and bumps the
"latest N of M" count, de-duped by id against the cold fetch.
`/api/state` is **only fetched on cold-load and on the few
forms that mutate non-event-derived state** (PURG3 +
meta-update, since tombstones + meta_inputs aren't event-
shaped yet). Every other section — approvals, questions,
transients, containers, operator inbox, message flow —
derives from `/api/dashboard/stream` after the initial snapshot,
maintaining its own client-side store and applying events on
top. The 5s periodic poll is gone.
Generalised form helpers: `form[data-confirm="…"]` pops
`confirm()` before submit; `form[data-prompt="…"]` pops
`prompt()` and stashes the answer in a hidden input named by
`data-prompt-field` (default `note`).
