atlas 7f920718f2 refactor(#2815): drop the imperative transient path entirely
mara on !2910: "also remove imperative path for the things that are not
nodes yet, file follow up issue to fix that".

`TransientGuard`, the stored map and both manual set/clear are gone.
`transient_snapshot()` is derived and nothing else — destroy and
migration show no pill, because there is no node to derive one from. The
pill returns for free when they become nodes.

What those three guards were actually doing, though, was suppressing the
crash watcher, not drawing a pill. `migrate.rs` said so in its own
comment: without it, `crash_watch` fires `ContainerCrash` for every
migrated agent and the manager tries to recover containers that were
stopped on purpose. Destroy is the same — the container disappears
deliberately and nothing in the graph says so.

Deleting them outright would therefore have traded a dashboard pill for
false crash alerts on every destroy and every migration. So the
suppression survives as its own thing, `suppress_crash_watch`, with a
name that says what it is. It is still RAII, and still held for the
operation rather than stamped once, because the crash watcher's grace
window is finite and a destroy is not — a single tombstone would expire
mid-operation. The drop stamps the tombstone, covering the poll that
lands just after.

That leaves RAII in the codebase for exactly one purpose instead of two.
Untangling the pill from the suppression is what made the transient layer
deletable at all.

Follow-up issue for making destroy + migration real queue nodes to
follow; at that point this guard goes too.

Checked with clippy (`--all-targets -D warnings`), `cargo test -p
hive-c0re -p hive-jobq` (322 + 41 passed) and `nix fmt`.

hive-c0re

The unprivileged host daemon (runs as hive-core). Owns the sqlite broker, the approval/question/schedule queues, the generic job-DAG queue, container lifecycle, gateway/forge/matrix provisioning, per-container stats, and the axum operator dashboard. Largest crate in the workspace — bin-only, no separate lib.

When to use it

Host-level, cross-container orchestration: spawning/rebuilding/ destroying agent containers, the approval flow, dashboard-visible state, provisioning per-agent forge/matrix/gateway accounts. Agent-side behavior (turn loop, MCP tools) lives in hive-agent/hive-agent-mcp instead — this daemon only talks to agents over the socket wire types in hive-sh4re.

Shape

Cohesive clusters live in directory submodules, each re-exported at the crate root (crate::broker::… keeps resolving regardless of which subdirectory a module actually lives in). One line each — read the module's own //! doc-comment for real detail, don't expect this file to track it:

  • dashboard/ — the operator dashboard (containers, approvals, schedules, questions, logs, topology).
  • job_queue/ — the job-DAG queue + desired-state reconciliation (docs/coordinator.md).
  • lifecycle/nixos-container lifecycle + per-agent config flake generation.
  • stores/ — sqlite-backed stores (broker, queues, audit, power).
  • workers/ — background sweeps (crash watch, scheduled prompts, auto-update, knowledge sync).
  • agent_config/ — per-agent registries (tool groups, capabilities, resource limits, topology).
  • stats/ — dashboard metrics aggregation + OTEL export.
  • socket_server/ — the unix-socket request server shared by per-agent + manager sockets.
  • forge/ — optional Forgejo wiring (docs/forge.md).
  • coordinator.rs — top-level wiring for serve.
  • meta.rs, migrate.rs — the meta flake + schema/state migrations.
  • matrix.rs, gateway_nginx.rs, webhook_secret.rs, priv_client.rs — matrix provisioning, gateway vhosts, webhook secrets, and the hive-priv client respectively.
