old behavior: omitted wait_seconds fell through to the 30s RECV_LONG_POLL_DEFAULT — claude calling 'is there anything in my inbox right now?' between actions blocked the turn for half a minute. flip the semantics: None (or 0) returns immediately, positive value parks up to MAX (180s, unchanged). cleaner 'peek vs wait' distinction; tool descriptions + agent/manager prompts updated to point at the new shape. harness's own serve loops in hive-ag3nt + hive-m1nd relied on the old default for their inbox poll. they now explicitly pass wait_seconds: Some(180) to opt into the full park — same effective behavior as before, just spelled out. retires the matching TODO under Turn loop.

# TODO
|
|
|
|
Pick anything from here when relevant. Cross-cutting design notes live in
|
|
[CLAUDE.md](CLAUDE.md); high-level project intro in [README.md](README.md).
|
|
|
|
## Permissions / policy
|
|
|
|
- **Per-agent send allow-list.** Today any agent can `send` to any
|
|
other recipient (peer, manager, operator). Add a per-agent
|
|
policy that constrains the `to` field — declared in `agent.nix`,
|
|
e.g. `hyperhive.allowedRecipients = [ "manager" "alice" ]`.
|
|
Broker rejects with an `Err { message }` when the policy denies.
|
|
Default: unrestricted (back-compat). The manager can still
|
|
always send anywhere. Useful for sandboxing untrusted sub-agents
|
|
so they can only talk to the manager, not other sub-agents.
|
|
|
|
## 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. The per-agent git
|
|
identity (currently injected via `programs.git.config.user` against
|
|
the root user in `setup_applied`'s generated flake) also needs to be
|
|
provisioned for whatever non-root user claude runs as, or commits
|
|
the manager makes against `/agents/<n>/config` will fall back to a
|
|
generic `nixos@…` identity.
|
|
- **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.
|
|
|
|
## Operational hygiene (post-meta-flake)
|
|
|
|
- **Tag retention.** Every approval mints up to 5 tags in
|
|
`applied/<n>/.git` (`proposal/`, `approved/`, `building/`,
|
|
`deployed/`, plus `failed/` or `denied/`). Every successful
|
|
deploy adds one commit to `/var/lib/hyperhive/meta/.git`.
|
|
Both grow unbounded. A retention policy — keep all
|
|
`deployed/*` indefinitely, age-out `failed/` + `denied/`
|
|
after N days, drop `proposal/` + `approved/` + `building/`
|
|
once a terminal sibling lands — would keep the audit
|
|
trails browsable without forever-growth.
|
|
|
|
- **Inert `nix flake lock` no-args call in `meta::sync_agents`.**
|
|
Still valid in current nix (resolves missing inputs without
|
|
bumping existing ones) but parallel to the deprecated
|
|
`--update-input` we just had to migrate. Worth keeping an
|
|
eye on; if it gets renamed too, sync_agents stops being
|
|
able to seed a fresh meta repo.
|
|
|
|
## Bugs
|
|
|
|
- **Pending question doesn't always appear on the dashboard.**
|
|
Repro: manager calls `ask_operator`, tool result is
|
|
`question queued (id=N)` (so the row is in sqlite), but the
|
|
M1ND H4S QU3STI0NS section keeps showing "no pending
|
|
questions". Last seen with id=5. Suspected paths:
|
|
- `OperatorQuestions::pending()` returns Err and the
|
|
`unwrap_or_default()` in `api_state` hides it. Surface the
|
|
error (warn-log) and check.
|
|
- serialization: a new field in `OpQuestion` (e.g.
|
|
`deadline_at: Option<i64>`) deserializes wrong against an
|
|
old row whose columns don't match the new SELECT order →
|
|
`row.get(N)?` panics for that row, the whole iterator
|
|
errors, `pending()` returns Err. Diagnose by curl
|
|
`/api/state | jq '.questions'` and compare with sqlite
|
|
counts.
|
|
- dashboard JS swallows a render error. Open browser console
|
|
and look for exceptions during `renderQuestions`.
|
|
|
|
## UI / UX
|
|
|
|
- **Web UI for config repos + meta deploy log.** Browse
|
|
per-agent proposed / applied tags
|
|
(`proposal/* / approved/* / building/* / deployed/* /
|
|
failed/* / denied/*`) plus the swarm-wide meta repo's git
|
|
log on the dashboard. Read-only log + diff + raw-file view
|
|
is enough — something lighter than a full forge. The meta
|
|
log already answers "what's deployed where + when"; this
|
|
surfaces it without an ssh-to-host detour.
|
|
|
|
- **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).
|
|
|
|
## 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.
