observability.md described a single collector holding the upstream credential. It also said endpoint and protocol are what agents are handed; agents get the derived first hop, which has been true since the collector was introduced. The swarm tier is documented beside its sibling swarm services rather than here, and the one line an operator must not miss - swarm.otel.url on a hive that does not run them - is called out in both places, since leaving it unset loses telemetry silently. |

hyperhive docs
Depth reference for hyperhive — the substrate, not the pitch (that's the
top-level README / website).
Every page here stands alone; pick the one matching your task rather than
reading top to bottom. For the auto-generated NixOS options reference
(every services.hyperhive.* / hyperhive.* option, host and agent), see
the options site instead —
this tree is prose, that one's generated straight from the module
declarations.
Getting started
- Bringing a fresh hive online? →
setup.md(first-runhivectlbootstrap). - What does the dashboard look like, and how do I use it? →
web-ui/— the operator-facing starting point; its own sub-pages (shape,dashboard,agent,css-vars) go deeper into implementation. - What tools does an agent (or the operator) have available? →
tools/—hivectl(yours) plus every agent's MCP tool surface (bash, forge, lifecycle, matrix, scheduling).
Dashboard & agent UI internals
- How does the per-agent terminal classify + colour events? →
terminal-rendering.md.
Turn loop, config, approvals
- How does claude get its prompt, and what tools does it have? →
turn-loop/— the loop, binary shape, turn outcomes; sub-pages:claude-invocation,config,mcp. - How do config changes flow from manager to operator to container? →
approvals.md(two-step spawn, approval state machine,flake.lockvalidation). - What state survives destroy / purge / restart? →
persistence.md.
Trust boundary & security
- What's the operator/agent trust boundary? What's a capability? →
boundary.md. - Agent trust model, prompt-injection threat model, credential
isolation? →
security.md. - Who can do what to whom — agent hierarchy and privilege? →
agent-hierarchy.md.
Accounts & integrations
- How do per-agent forge accounts work? What does
forge_notifypoll, and how does it format wake messages? →forge.md(the hive's own Forgejo);tools/forge.mdfor thehive-forgeCLI verbs agents actually call. - How does the matrix-tuwunel container work? Multiple accounts per
agent? →
matrix.md(the homeserver);tools/matrix.mdfor the MCP tool surface andhyperhive.matrixAccounts. - How do I give an agent a GitHub account (
gh+git push)? How is the PAT injected? →github.md. - What does
hivectldo? Provisioning, gateway users, container shells? →tools/hivectl.md(the curated guide);tools/hivectl-cli.mdfor the exhaustive, auto-generated flag reference.
Networking & swarms
- What nginx vhosts does the gateway serve? How does matrix
discovery work? →
gateway.md. - How does DNS resolution work in agent containers? What's the
bridge network for? →
network.md. - How do I connect two hives into a swarm? →
swarm/(peer hives, TLS trust). - Where do agent snapshots go? How does the swarm's
btrfs receiveendpoint authenticate a pushing hive? →snapshot-store.md.
Scheduler, CI, observability
- How does the rebuild queue work? What are queue kinds and
sources? →
coordinator.md. - How does the CI runner work? What's the auto-registration flow? →
ci.md. - How do I export Claude Code metrics (tokens, cost, tool calls) to
Prometheus/Grafana? →
observability.md.
Crate reference
- What does a specific Rust crate do, on its own terms? →
crates/— every workspace crate's ownREADME.md, one level up from source (hyperhive#3051); the crate itself is still the source of truth, this is just a walkable mirror.
Process & conventions
- Naming, commit style, wire protocol, the
data-asyncpattern? →conventions.md. - Why does the nspawn flag look like that? →
gotchas.md(bind mounts, conf flags, other NixOS/nspawn quirks). - What is
/knowledge? How does the hive-wide knowledge repo sync, and how do I contribute a document? →knowledge.md.
