A hive reads its own declaration today and that scopes cleanly: DIRECT.GET
carries the key in the subject, so the grant can name it. A *watch* cannot be
scoped that way — a consumer's filter travels in the request payload, so
$JS.API.CONSUMER.CREATE.<stream> grants the whole stream. With every hive in
one bucket, letting a hive watch its own declaration would let it read every
other hive's.
One bucket per hive (hive-wanted-<hive>) makes the stream a hive may hold
exactly as wide as what it is allowed to see, which is what #4006's live-watch
needs. That watch is a separate change; this only moves the boundary.
mara's calls, both on #4006: one stream per hive rather than teaching the auth
responder a hive roster, and a wildcard for the controller — "its okay if
swarm controller can theoretically override hive". A bucket name is a single
subject token with no prefix matching, so no wildcard narrower than * covers N
per-hive buckets; the controller's grant is account-wide by consequence, and
documented as chosen rather than left to look accidental.
The reader arm of #4005's key-layout guard asserted the opposite of that
ruling, so it is replaced rather than deleted: the hive arm survives as
no_hive_may_write_another_role_s_agent_status (with a positive control), and
the_readers_grant_is_deliberately_account_wide pins the decision and names the
ruling, so the width reads as chosen to whoever finds it next.
Two pre-existing negative assertions were silently defanged by the rename --
they matched hive-wanted.beta and $KV.hive-wanted.alpha, strings nothing
produces any more, and kept passing. Both now match current names.
swarm-controller resolves the store per hive per call instead of caching one in
a OnceCell: there is no single handle that serves N buckets, and declarations
change on operator action rather than per tick.
