atlas 89013b5408 agent permissions: hold hive-c0re's stored grant until the agent's own read
Until its first successful read of its key, the harness read its
permissions as the default set, `execution` included. So did the
subagent daemon. An agent the operator had narrowed ran wider than
granted after every restart while the queue was unreachable, and in the
gap before the first 10 s poll. During the meta-repo import, every
non-ruth key is still unset, and the agent read that as the default too,
for as long as the import stayed pending.

mara picked option (a) on #5293: "a, removal of the old path as a follow
up in 1w".

hive-c0re now writes each agent's entry from
swarm-agent-permissions.json into the agent's runtime dir as
swarm-permissions.json (/run/hive in the container), together with
whether the import is still pending. It writes the file at every start
(write_dropins) and after every 30 s pass of the permissions worker. The
harness and the subagent daemon hold that stored list until their own
first read succeeds. While the import is pending, an unset key keeps
the stored list rather than reverting it to the default. A queue that
is down never blocks a start: the agent runs on the stored grant.

The decision lives in swarm_queue_client::agent_permissions::HiveCopy,
shared by both readers.

Part of #5170.

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 autogenerated 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 swarm online? → getting-started/setup.md (the hand steps after the first switch).
  • 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, terminal-rendering) 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).

Agent lifecycle

Trust boundary & security

Accounts & integrations

  • How do per-agent forge accounts work? What does forge_notify poll, and how does it format wake messages? → integrations/forge.md (the swarm's Forgejo); tools/forge.md for the hive-forge CLI verbs agents actually call.
  • How does the matrix-tuwunel container work? Multiple accounts per agent? → integrations/matrix.md (the homeserver); tools/matrix.md for the MCP tool surface and services.hyperhive.agent.matrixAccounts.
  • How do I give an agent a GitHub account (gh + git push)? how's the PAT injected? → integrations/github.md (operator content up top; the gh/git-push + notification-poller mechanics are in a collapsed "Implementation" section at the bottom).
  • What's /knowledge? How does the swarm-wide knowledge repo sync, and how do I contribute a document? → integrations/knowledge.md.
  • What does hivectl do? Provisioning, gateway users, container shells? → tools/hivectl.md (the curated guide); tools/hivectl-cli.md for the exhaustive, autogenerated flag reference.

Networking & swarms

  • What nginx vhosts does the gateway serve? How does matrix discovery work? → networking/gateway.md.
  • How does DNS resolution work in agent containers? What's the bridge network for? → networking/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 receive endpoint authenticate a pushing hive? → networking/snapshot-store.md.
  • Who mints each credential, who reads it, and how does it rotate — and where's that shape headed? → swarm/credentials.md (current state, target state, and the progressive-enhancement rule); swarm/secrets.md for where each file lives today.
  • How does the secret store come up, who writes its grants, how's it sealed? → swarm/bao.md.
  • How does an agent get a prompt at set times, and why doesn't it fire twice after downtime? → swarm/schedules.md.
  • How do I set an agent's model or effort from the swarm, and what happens to its own pick? → swarm/inference.md.
  • How will a PR get checked against its repo's own yes/no rules before a full review? → swarm/review-classifier.md (planned, not implemented yet).
  • Does an agent config PR build before it's merged? → swarm/builder.md.
  • How do I log an agent in to claude from the swarm UI, and why doesn't a stale stored copy log it out again? → swarm/claude-login.md.

Scheduler, CI, observability

  • what's the job queue, as a general idea (not hive-c0re specifics)? → scheduler/jobq.md — operator-facing, no implementation detail.
  • How does the rebuild queue work? What are the concrete step kinds, queue sources, scheduler internals? → scheduler/coordinator.md.
  • How does the CI runner work? How does it register? → scheduler/ci.md.
  • How do I export Claude Code metrics (tokens, cost, tool calls) to Prometheus/Grafana? → scheduler/observability.md.

Crate reference

  • What does a specific Rust crate do, on its own terms? → crates/ — every workspace crate's own README.md, one level up from source; the crate itself is still the source of truth, this is just a walkable mirror.
