atlas 31a98f511d hive-agent: pin what a zero means for each turn-loop knob
turn.rs has no tests. The knobs read env through two helpers and the
difference between them is load-bearing: env_u64 keeps a parsed 0, so
HIVE_TURN_IDLE_SECS=0 disables the watchdog and
HIVE_AUTO_RESET_WATERMARK_TOKENS=0 disables auto-reset; env_u64_positive
discards it, so a 0 sleep or cache TTL falls back to the default. Calling
the wrong one is a one-word edit that changes whether 0 turns a feature
off or does nothing.

Splitting the parse and zero-rejection halves out of the env lookup makes
both testable — std::env is process-global, so the lookup itself is not
safely settable from a threaded test runner, and the env-to-knob mapping
stays uncovered for that reason.

No behaviour change: each of the four knobs already agreed with its own
doc comment.

hive-agent

The in-container harness serve-loop binary — one instance per agent. Long-polls the broker inbox and drives one claude --print turn per inbox message, over the hive-claude driver. There is one role here (agent); the Surface trait + AgentSurface zero-sized type tag keep the turn loop generic and testable for future roles without a parallel copy of the loop.

When to use it

You don't call into this crate from elsewhere — it's the top-level binary systemd starts per agent container. Look here when you need to understand or change: what happens between "a message lands in the inbox" and "claude produces a reply", how login/auth is bootstrapped, how the per-agent web UI is served, or how turn/event stats get recorded. Architecture detail lives in docs/turn-loop/; this README is just the map of the module tree.

Shape

  • turn.rs — the turn-loop policy layer: renders the system prompt + MCP config, invokes hive-claude, classifies the outcome, and feeds the event/turn-stats sinks.
  • client.rs — broker client (inbox poll, ack, send) speaking the hive-sh4re wire protocol.
  • login.rs / login_session.rs — first-run and session-resume auth flow for the claude CLI.
  • mcp_config.rs — renders the per-turn --mcp-config / --allowedTools blob from tool groups + capabilities.
  • todos.rs / reminders.rs / todo_server.rs — the harness-local loose-ends v2 stores (sqlite-backed) and the in-agent socket server extra MCP daemons + hive-agent-mcp dial into for todo/reminder ops.
  • vacuum.rs — periodic sqlite vacuum sweep for the harness-local stores.
  • events.rs / turn_stats.rs / stats.rs — append-only event sink and per-turn telemetry recording (context usage, cost, tool favorites) under harness/.
  • forge_notify.rs — subscribes to forge notifications and wakes the harness on new activity.
  • prompt.rs — system-prompt renderer (persona + tool docs + environment facts).
  • web_ui/ — the per-agent dashboard (terminal pane, status, schedules) served over the built-in hive-agent web port.
  • paths.rs — canonical path resolution for state/harness dirs and the harness-local sqlite files.

Sibling: hive-agent-mcp (the MCP server this loop points claude at every turn). Both are described together in docs/turn-loop/::Harness binary shape.
