One list, in nix/reserved-names.nix, handed to everything that needs it
as HIVE_RESERVED_NAMES. Keeping it current becomes a config change
rather than a rebuild, and hive names and agent names -- one namespace
going forward -- are checked against the same file: swarm-otel.nix's
hand-written reservedOwners is gone.
Whitespace-separated rather than JSON, deliberately, unlike the
structured env vars beside it. Every entry is an Ident ([a-z0-9-]), so
whitespace cannot occur inside a name and the encoding is provably
lossless; JSON would mean either a parser dependency in a crate whose
purpose is to have none, or a copy of the parse in every consumer.
An UNSET variable is not "nothing is reserved". Both creation sites log
an error and return a warning saying the check did not run, so a
misconfigured deployment says so instead of silently accepting every
name. A blank value folds into unset: nix always renders a non-empty
list, so present-but-empty is a rendering fault, not a declaration.
Two guards whose subject moved out of their own file now assert their
own case is still in it, because a guard that can be retired by an edit
elsewhere is not a guard:
- swarm-otel.nix asserts reserved-names.nix still contains its
swarmTierName.
- hive-sh4re's sentinel drift test PANICS when the variable is missing
rather than skipping -- a drift test that quietly does nothing still
reports green. checks.nix and devshell.nix both export it so CI and a
local cargo test agree. Verified as a pair: with the variable set, 8
tests pass; with it unset, exactly the 4 drift tests fail and the
unrelated ones still pass.
