atlas 884e39ba63 refactor(#2815): derive the transient snapshot, don't mirror it
mara on !2910: "why is set_transient still a thing if it completely
derives from nodes?"

It was still a thing because the scheduler mirrored the derived set into
a stored map that every consumer read — derived state computed once and
then cached, with the reconciliation loop existing only to keep the cache
honest. `transient_snapshot()` now derives: `running_transients()` off the
live graph, with the handful of entries that have no node behind them
(destroy, migration) overlaid on top. There is no cached copy left to go
stale or disagree with what is running.

`set_transient` / `clear_transient` split by what they actually do:
`set_manual_transient` / `clear_manual_transient` own the stored map for
the no-node callers, and `emit_transient_set` / `emit_transient_cleared`
publish the edges both paths need.

Two things had to survive, and both are edges rather than state:

- The dashboard's `TransientSet` / `TransientCleared` events. The
  scheduler carries the previous derived value and emits the diff.
- The crash watcher's grace window. `recent_transient_within` answers
  "was a transient cleared just now?", which is what stops a deliberate
  stop from reading as a crash on the next 10s poll — a derived read of
  current state cannot answer it, so the clear still stamps. The
  scheduler keeps `deliberate_stop` alongside the label precisely so it
  is available at clear time: the node it came from is, by definition, no
  longer running to be asked.

`TransientState::since` becomes wall-clock and, for derived entries, is
the node's own `started_at` — the true start of the operation rather than
the moment a watcher first noticed it, which is what the old
guard-creation timestamp actually measured.

`running_transients` returns a named `RunningTransient` rather than a
4-tuple; two of its fields are strings and one is a bool whose meaning is
not guessable at a call site.

Note for anyone reaching for a timestamp here: chrono is vendored with
`default-features = false`, so there is no `Utc::now()`. The workspace
convention is `wire_time::now_unix()` / `from_secs()`.

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.
