A hive whose homeserver runs on another host has no local matrix-appservice-token, so hive-c0re's matrix sweep returned before reaching the store read in ensure_hive_user: no @hive-<name>: token, no Space, no chat room, no invites, and a sweep-health banner. swarm-controller now mints @hive-<name>: with the swarm appservice token for every hive in its directory, as a MintHiveSenderToken job node queued by a five-minute pass, and stores it at swarm/hives/<name>/matrix/sender-token, the same matrix::Credential swarm-matrix-ctl writes there. It is keep-if-live, reusing agent_token's classify/plan: a stored token whoami confirms as @hive-<name>: is left alone, so only an absent or dead one is minted. agent_token's probe and mint steps are lifted into probe_at/mint_at so both passes share them. swarm-matrix-ctl mint still writes the path for its own hive when it is empty. If both mint an empty path at once, one token is invalidated (same pinned device); the next pass classifies it Revoked and re-mints. hive-c0re's ensure_all no longer returns when there is no local as_token. ensure_hive_user reads the store first on every sweep and overwrites its token file when the store's token differs, keeps the file when the store has none, mints with the local as_token only when neither holds one, and fails with one error when there is nothing at all. The decision is sender_source, unit-tested. The controller's bao policy gains create/read/update on swarm/hives/+/matrix/sender-token (`+`, since `*` is a glob only at the end of a path), pinned in module-eval. Refs #4427 |

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.deploy.hive-controller.enable: turning it on is a statement
about swarm topology, not about whether this host runs a hive.
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 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.deploy.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.
