atlas 06e8a9a09e Fix nix references in prose that no longer resolve
Nine of the 38 .nix tokens mentioned anywhere in *.rs did not name
anything that exists. Twelve mentions, five distinct targets:
hive-c0re.nix, hive-gateway.nix and hive-forge.nix are all directories
now; nix/modules/ is not a directory we have; hive-forge-tools.nix was
a bash script the binary replaced and is gone.

Where the reference is load-bearing it is corrected rather than
deleted, because the reference is the point: a comment saying a
constant must match a nix literal is only useful if you can open the
file it names. Where the module member was unambiguous the path now
names it exactly.

paths.rs's STATE_ROOT marker was the worst of them: it claimed the
value came from services.hyperhive.c0re.statePath, in hive-c0re.nix.
Neither exists. The option is not declared anywhere and the file is a
directory, so a "must match" contract pointed at two things that
cannot be opened. /var/lib/hyperhive is hardcoded on both sides, which
is what the comment now says.

hive-forge-tools.nix keeps no replacement: naming a file that was
deliberately deleted helps nobody, and "replaces a prior bash script"
is complete without it.

Measured before and after with the same command: 9 unresolved of 38
before, 4 of 35 after. The remaining four are an example path in a doc
comment, an upstream nixpkgs path, and two from one synthetic test
fixture.

hive-c0re

The unprivileged host daemon (runs as hive-core). Owns the sqlite broker, the approval/reminder/schedule queues, the generic job-DAG queue, container lifecycle, gateway/forge/matrix provisioning, per-container stats, and the axum operator dashboard. Largest crate in the workspace — bin-only, no separate lib.

When to use it

Host-level, cross-container orchestration: spawning/rebuilding/ destroying agent containers, the approval flow, dashboard-visible state, provisioning per-agent forge/matrix/gateway accounts. Agent-side behavior (turn loop, MCP tools) lives in hive-agent/hive-agent-mcp instead — this daemon only talks to agents over the socket wire types in hive-sh4re.

Shape

Cohesive clusters live in directory submodules, each re-exported at the crate root (crate::broker::… keeps resolving regardless of which subdirectory a module actually lives in). One line each — read the module's own //! doc-comment for real detail, don't expect this file to track it:

  • dashboard/ — the operator dashboard (containers, approvals, schedules, logs, topology).
  • job_queue/ — the job-DAG queue + desired-state reconciliation (docs/coordinator.md).
  • lifecycle/nixos-container lifecycle + per-agent config flake generation.
  • stores/ — sqlite-backed stores (broker, queues, audit, power).
  • workers/ — background sweeps (crash watch, scheduled prompts, auto-update, knowledge sync).
  • agent_config/ — per-agent registries (tool groups, capabilities, resource limits, topology).
  • stats/ — dashboard metrics aggregation + OTEL export.
  • socket_server/ — the unix-socket request server shared by per-agent + manager sockets.
  • forge/ — optional Forgejo wiring (docs/forge.md).
  • coordinator.rs — top-level wiring for serve.
  • meta.rs, migrate.rs — the meta flake + schema/state migrations.
  • matrix.rs, gateway_nginx.rs, webhook_secret.rs, priv_client.rs — matrix provisioning, gateway vhosts, webhook secrets, and the hive-priv client respectively.
