atlas 6d4e0e5fa1 docs/ci: say to measure the GC window before relying on the stagger
The guidance says to stagger two hosts' collections, and never says how
long one takes — so an operator picking `dates` has no way to know
whether their stagger is wide enough.

The number that matters is theirs, not mine: a collection's wall clock
is dominated by the sweep over unused `.links` entries, which scales
with the size of the store rather than with what the run deletes. So a
store's size, not its churn, decides the window, and `randomizedDelaySec`
spreads only the start.

Measured here for scale, and deliberately kept out of the doc since it
does not transfer: 11 runs over two weeks ranged 5min 16s to 51min 25s,
inversely — the 51-minute run deleted 732 paths, a 12-minute run deleted
21,901.

hyperhive docs

Depth reference for hyperhive — the substrate, not the pitch (that's the top-level README / website). Every page here stands alone; pick the one matching your task rather than reading top to bottom. For the autogenerated NixOS options reference (every services.hyperhive.* / hyperhive.* option, host and agent), see the options site instead — this tree is prose, that one's generated straight from the module declarations.

Getting started

  • Bringing a fresh hive online?getting-started/setup.md (first-run hivectl bootstrap).
  • What does the dashboard look like, and how do I use it?web-ui/ — the operator-facing starting point; its own sub-pages (shape, dashboard, agent, css-vars, terminal-rendering) go deeper into implementation.
  • What tools does an agent (or the operator) have available?tools/hivectl (yours) plus every agent's MCP tool surface (bash, forge, lifecycle, matrix, scheduling).

Agent lifecycle

Trust boundary & security

Accounts & integrations

  • How do per-agent forge accounts work? What does forge_notify poll, and how does it format wake messages?integrations/forge.md (the hive's own Forgejo); tools/forge.md for the hive-forge CLI verbs agents actually call.
  • How does the matrix-tuwunel container work? Multiple accounts per agent?integrations/matrix.md (the homeserver); tools/matrix.md for the MCP tool surface and hyperhive.matrixAccounts.
  • How do I give an agent a GitHub account (gh + git push)? how's the PAT injected?integrations/github.md (operator content up top; the gh/git-push + notification-poller mechanics are in a collapsed "Implementation" section at the bottom).
  • What's /knowledge? How does the hive-wide knowledge repo sync, and how do I contribute a document?integrations/knowledge.md.
  • What does hivectl do? Provisioning, gateway users, container shells?tools/hivectl.md (the curated guide); tools/hivectl-cli.md for the exhaustive, autogenerated flag reference.

Networking & swarms

  • What nginx vhosts does the gateway serve? How does matrix discovery work?networking/gateway.md.
  • How does DNS resolution work in agent containers? What's the bridge network for?networking/network.md.
  • How do I connect two hives into a swarm?swarm/ (peer hives, TLS trust).
  • Where do agent snapshots go? How does the swarm's btrfs receive endpoint authenticate a pushing hive?networking/snapshot-store.md.

Scheduler, CI, observability

  • what's the job queue, as a general idea (not hive-c0re specifics)?scheduler/jobq.md — operator-facing, no implementation detail.
  • How does the rebuild queue work? What are the concrete step kinds, queue sources, scheduler internals?scheduler/coordinator.md.
  • How does the CI runner work? What's the autoregistration flow?scheduler/ci.md.
  • How do I export Claude Code metrics (tokens, cost, tool calls) to Prometheus/Grafana?scheduler/observability.md.

Crate reference

  • What does a specific Rust crate do, on its own terms?crates/ — every workspace crate's own README.md, one level up from source (hyperhive#3051); the crate itself is still the source of truth, this is just a walkable mirror.
