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. |

swarm-controller
The swarm-level daemon. Where hive-c0re owns the agents on one host, this
owns what is true across hives — so a swarm runs one of them and most hives
leave it off.
Opt-in per host via services.hyperhive.deploy.swarm-controller.enable, which is
deliberately not derived from services.hyperhive.enable: turning it on is
a statement about swarm topology, not about whether hyperhive is installed.
What it does today
Serves one /health endpoint and holds no state.
That is the whole intent of the first slice. The point is to make the unit
real — service user, runtime and state directories, socket, nginx
reachability — so the swarm-level surfaces that follow have somewhere to land.
Inventing those surfaces before they are agreed would bake in a shape nobody
chose. See #3066 and the hyperhive.swarm consolidation epic.
Why a unix socket, not a port
The hive-gateway's nginx is the only intended client and reaches the socket through a bind-mount. A listener that is never bound to an address cannot be reached from off-host by mistake.
The socket path is services.hyperhive.swarm.controller.socketPath, default
/run/swarm-controller/controller.sock, exported to the process as
SWARM_CONTROLLER_SOCKET.
⚠️ The socket's directory is its access control
The socket is 0666. It has to be: nginx runs as a different user and
connect(2) needs write. This matches how hive-c0re publishes the per-agent
sockets, and rests on the same argument — "the bind source dir is per-agent on
host so blast radius is unchanged."
What keeps that safe is that the directory holds one socket. So:
Never point
socketPathat a directory that carries anything else./run/hyperhiveabove all — it holdshost.sock, the host admin socket. Pointing nginx at that directory to reach this socket would put the admin socket within its reach too.
nginx is a host service, so nothing narrows what it can reach except the directory itself — that is the whole of the access control. A unit test pins the default path so a tidying edit fails instead of reviewing cleanly.
RuntimeDirectoryPreserve=yes and the daemon's stale-socket unlink on start are
a pair: preserving the directory without the unlink means bind fails with
EADDRINUSE after a restart.
Packaging
Built by the workspace derivation and extracted as its own package
(nix build .#swarm-controller). Deliberately not in nix/packages'
daemonBins — that list is the core stack and drives the bundle
services.hyperhive.c0re.package points at, so folding this in would put a
swarm-scoped service into every hive's closure.
