müde 58c3cd853b container crash watcher → HelperEvent::ContainerCrash 
new hive_c0re::crash_watch task polls every 10s, builds the set of
currently-running containers, and on running→stopped transitions
checks the transient snapshot: if no Stopping / Restarting /
Destroying / Rebuilding flag is set, the container exited
unexpectedly and we fire HelperEvent::ContainerCrash into the
manager's inbox so it can react (typically: start it again).

first poll is a seeding pass — no events on harness startup. dbus
subscription would be lower-latency but polling is honest and
debuggable, and a 10s delay on crash detection is fine for our
scale.

manager prompt + approvals doc updated to advertise the new
event variant. todo drops the entry (and the journald-viewer
entry that already shipped).

TODO

Pick anything from here when relevant. Cross-cutting design notes live in CLAUDE.md; high-level project intro in README.md.

Security

  • Unprivileged containers (userns mapping). Today the nspawn container runs as a fully privileged root. Goal: PrivateUsersChown=yes (or the nixos-container equivalent) so uid 0 inside maps to an unprivileged uid on the host, and a container-root compromise lands the attacker on an ordinary user account, not the host's root. Requires per-agent state dirs to be chown'd to that uid on the host side.
  • Bash command allow-list. Replace the blanket Bash allow with a pattern allow-list (Bash(git *), Bash(nix build .*), etc.) per claude-code's --allowedTools extended grammar. Likely lives in agent.nix so each agent can scope its own shell surface.

Per-agent extension

  • Custom per-agent MCP tools. Today every sub-agent gets the same fixed MCP surface (send, recv). To move bitburner-agent (and anything else with rich domain tooling) into hyperhive, an agent needs a way to ship its own tools alongside hyperhive's. Sketch: agent.nix declares a list of extra MCP servers (command + args + env), each registered into the agent's --mcp-config blob at flake-render time. The harness MCP server remains the hyperhive surface; new servers slot in as additional entries under mcpServers.<name> so claude sees them as mcp__<name>__<tool>. Per-agent tool whitelist (allowedTools) derived from the same config so the operator stays in control of what's exposed.

Per-agent settings

  • Model override persistence. /model <name> already switches the model at runtime via Bus::set_model; the chip on the agent page reflects the current value. Override is in-memory only and resets on harness restart — by design for now, but consider optional persistence (/state/model file?) so an operator-set model survives a rebuild.

UI / UX

  • Terminal: /model slash command. Operator-typeable model override from the terminal. Depends on the model-override work above; once an override mechanism exists, wire a /model <name> command that POSTs to a new endpoint.
  • xterm.js terminal embedded per-agent, attached to a PTY exposed by the harness. Pairs well with the unprivileged-container work — would let the operator drop into the container without nixos-container root-login.

Telemetry

  • Harness stats per agent in sqlite, charted on the agent page. bitburner-agent samples 18 series; for hyperhive the generally-applicable ones are:
    • turns/min, tool calls/turn, turn duration p50/p95
    • claude exit code distribution (ok vs --compact-retry vs failure)
    • inbox depth (current + max-over-window)
    • messages sent/received per turn (split by recipient: peer / operator / manager / system)
    • approval queue length (across all agents — dashboard-level)
    • per-tool usage counts (Read/Edit/Bash/send/recv/…)
    • time-since-last-turn (helps spot stuck agents)
    • notes file size growth (cues compaction) Backend: a stats table with (agent, ts, key, value) written from the harness on TurnEnd; GET /api/stats?since=… returns the series; agent page renders with a small chart lib (uPlot is light).

Manager → operator question channel

Spawn flow

  • Two-step spawn. Today request_spawn(name) is one shot: manager asks → operator approves → container is created with a default agent.nix and empty /state/. Manager has no way to pre-stage per-agent prompt material, package additions, or initial notes before the agent first wakes. Split into:
    1. request_spawn_draft(name) — host creates the per-agent proposed/ repo (initial commit) and state/ dir with no container; manager now has /agents/<name>/{config,state}/ to edit + commit just like an existing agent.
    2. request_spawn_commit(name, commit_ref) — submits the queued approval; operator sees the diff in the dashboard like a normal apply_commit; on approve the container is created from that commit. Backwards-compat: keep the existing one-shot request_spawn for trivial agents (operator can still type a name in the dashboard). Surface "drafts" as a new section between K3PT ST4T3 and approvals.

Loop substance

  • Notes compaction. /state/ is bind-mounted persistently and agents are told (in the system prompt) to keep /state/notes.md for durable knowledge — but we don't currently nudge them to compact when notes grow. Bitburner-agent's pattern: a short-lived secondary claude session that takes the existing notes + a "compact this" prompt and rewrites them in place. Add when the notes start bloating.
