atlas 353cdd9264 swarm: carry the agent queue credential from the host into the harness
hive-c0re stats the two files `swarm-bao-queue-agent` lands and forwards
them into every agent container as systemd credentials, and the harness
resolves a `QueueConfig` out of them at boot. Nothing connects yet.

A credential and not a bind mount, and the mode is what forces it: the
secret is root:0600 and the harness runs as the unprivileged agent user,
so a bind would deliver a file that user cannot open. nspawn's
`--load-credential` is read by the container manager as root and
re-exposed under the consuming unit's own `User=`. hive-c0re never reads
the bytes either way, which is just as well — it runs as `hive-core`.

Absent files stay legal and become visible rather than silent: the
publisher lives on the authelia host and mints on its first boot, so
"nothing at that path" is the ordinary early state of a swarm. c0re
forwards nothing and logs why; the harness logs that it has no queue.

The client id comes out of the delivered file rather than being rebuilt
from `hiveName` in nix, which is the agreement `swarm-secret-client`
states. `QueueConfig::from_env` wants it as a value, so the harness reads
the file itself — assigning the variable instead would need
`std::env::set_var` in a process that has already spawned threads.

hive-c0re

The unprivileged host daemon (runs as hive-core). Owns the sqlite broker, the approval/reminder/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, logs, topology).
  • job_queue/ — the job-DAG queue + desired-state reconciliation (docs/scheduler/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/integrations/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.
