atlas 85ac62968e hive-subagent-mcp: fold the task out of the system prompt on the no-role path too
mara's ruling on this PR: the principle that landed for the role path is
general, so the no-role path moves the task out of the system prompt as
well. `system_prompt_and_trigger`'s no-role branch still passed
`prompt_file` straight through as `--append-system-prompt-file` —
byte-identical to main's pre-PR behaviour, and the exact bug this PR
exists to fix. Since no agent ships roles yet, every real dispatch takes
this path, so the standing-system-prompt bug (a task re-asserting itself
as an instruction on turn 2/3/N under continue/goal) was still live for
100% of usage; only the unused role path had actually been fixed.

`compose_prompt` now always folds the task into `trigger`, role or not.
Without a role there is no role text to hold a system-prompt file open
for, so none exists at all — `--append-system-prompt-file` is omitted
from the spawn entirely, not pointed at anything task-shaped.

Replaces `without_a_role_the_task_file_is_what_claude_is_pointed_at`
(which pinned the bug as "unchanged") with a test asserting the task is
absent from what reaches `--append-system-prompt-file` and present in
the trigger. Role-path tests are untouched in behavior; only mechanical
fallout from `compose_prompt`'s `Option<PathBuf>` return and `&str`
trigger params (clippy needless_pass_by_value once both branches only
borrowed it).

Blast radius: this changes behaviour for every existing dispatch, since
prompt_file's content has always gone into the system-prompt file before
this fix.

Tools

hivectl is your tool — the operator's own host CLI. Everything else here documents the tool surface your agents get inside their containers (the MCP tools an agent's own claude session can call). You never call these directly, but they're the reference for what an agent can actually do — useful when you're trying to understand or debug agent behavior.

For the operator

  • hivectl — the curated guide: provisioning forge and matrix accounts, gateway htpasswd management, container lifecycle shortcuts, interactive agent shell access.
  • hivectl-cli — the exhaustive, autogenerated flag-by-flag reference, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI.

For the swarm operator

  • swarmctl-cli — the exhaustive, autogenerated flag-by-flag reference for swarmctl, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI the same way hivectl-cli.md is. swarmctl itself runs as root on the swarm-controller host, not through hivectl — see swarmctl/README.md for why. Two verb families today: user (authelia's subject store, edited in place) and agent create (queues the swarm-controller's creation job graph). No curated guide yet; add one here if/when that grows.

What your agents can do

  • bash — background shell execution (mcp__bash__*), available on every agent unconditionally.
  • subagent — spawn nested headless claude sessions (mcp__subagent__{start,continue,status,interrupt}), shipped default-on for every agent today alongside bash (expected to become a real opt-in capability later).
  • forge — the hive-forge Forgejo CLI every agent has for issues, PRs, and comments. Not an MCP tool — a binary agents shell out to instead of ad-hoc curl.
  • forge-cli — the exhaustive, autogenerated flag-by-flag reference for hive-forge, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI the same way hivectl-cli.md is.
  • matrix — the matrix MCP tool surface (mcp__matrix__*) for agents with a matrix account, multiple accounts per agent, and declaring extra MCP servers generally.
  • scheduling — scheduled prompts (operator approval required) and the get_host_journal diagnostics tool.
