atlas de09628c7c fix(#2733): write the agent pause marker via hive-priv
`Coordinator::set_paused` wrote the marker directly with `std::fs::write`
from hive-c0re, which runs as the unprivileged `hive-core` user. The
agent's harness dir is chowned to the agent user on every container boot
(`user.nix`'s activation chown), mode 0755 — so hive-core can stat the
marker but gets EACCES creating or unlinking it. Pause therefore only
ever worked on an agent that had never booted; the read side works
because a stat needs traverse, not write, which is why the paused pill
and `is_paused` looked healthy.

Route both directions through hive-priv, the root helper that already
owns the other writes into agent-owned directories:

- `PrivRequest::SetAgentPaused { agent_name, paused }`, with the marker
  filename constant moved to hive-priv-sock. That is the narrowest crate
  all three sides share (hive-priv deliberately does not depend on
  hive-sh4re, which re-exports it for the in-container resolver). A
  private copy on any one side would break pause silently, since every
  reader just sees "no marker".
- `write_agent_state_file` generalised to `write_agent_dir_file`, taking
  the target directory: `state/` and `harness/` are both agent-owned,
  which is the same reason both need root.
- resume unlinks via `remove_file`, which acts on the leaf and never
  follows a symlink — an agent could otherwise plant a link at the
  marker path and have root delete an arbitrary file.

`Coordinator::set_paused` becomes an async round-trip; its three call
sites were already async. Both directions stay idempotent because the
dashboard toggle and `hivectl pause|resume` fire without reading the
current state first.

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.
