atlas 235bc481b3 hive-agent: the swarm queue connection is required; retry, then exit 
An agent's harness connects to the swarm queue with the agent's own
credential or not at all. The first connect retries after 5s, doubling
(7 attempts, about five minutes), with a warning per failed attempt;
when every attempt fails the harness logs an error and exits 1. Missing
coordinates (HIVE_AGENT_NATS_URL, or the secret store's BAO_ADDR /
HIVE_AGENT_NAME / certificate) fail the boot outright.

Previously the first connect's outcome was memoized for the life of the
process: a store 403 or queue refusal at boot left the agent on the
hive's shared client, or disconnected, until someone restarted it, and
an agent with no queue coordinates ran on without one. Both paths are
gone, with the hive-scoped subjects that only the shared client used.

The harness unit now restarts after 30s instead of 2s, so a swarm-wide
outage doesn't restart every agent every 2s, and has no start limit, so
it keeps coming back however long the outage lasts.

The hive's shared client credential is still imported into the harness
unit for swarm-logs; the two HIVE_AGENT_OIDC_*_FILE variables that
pointed the harness at it are dropped, as is the unset
HIVE_AGENT_OIDC_CA_FILE override.

With the fallback gone, the pieces #4944 added only for it go too:
swarm_input's skip-on-shared-client branch and swarm-queue-client's
connect_with_inbox_prefix. swarm-nats-auth's grant for the hive's shared
agent client is unchanged.

Closes #4909

hive-agent

The in-container harness serve-loop binary — one instance per agent. Long-polls the broker inbox and drives one turn per inbox message through hive-runtime, on the agent's runtime (claude --print by default, or an ACP agent). It has one role (agent); the Surface trait + AgentSurface zero-sized type tag keep the turn loop generic and testable for future roles without a parallel copy of the loop.

When to use it

You don't call into this crate from elsewhere — it's the top-level binary systemd starts per agent container. Look here when you need to understand or change: what happens between a message landing in the inbox and the agent's reply, how the harness bootstraps login/auth, how it serves the per-agent web UI, or how turn/event stats get recorded. Architecture detail lives in docs/turn-loop/; this README is just the map of the module tree.

Shape

  • main.rs — the serve loop and the Surface trait; broker calls (inbox poll, ack, send) go through hive-sock-client with hive-core-agent-sock wire types.
  • turn.rs — the turn-loop policy layer: renders the system prompt + MCP config, runs the turn through hive-runtime, classifies the outcome, and feeds the event/turn-stats sinks.
  • login.rs / login_session.rs — first-run and session-resume auth flow for the claude CLI.
  • mcp_config.rs — renders the per-turn --mcp-config / --allowedTools blob from tool groups + capabilities.
  • todos.rs / reminders.rs / todo_server.rs — the harness-local loose-ends v2 stores (sqlite-backed) and the in-agent socket server extra MCP daemons + hive-agent-mcp dial into for todo/reminder ops.
  • vacuum.rs — periodic sqlite vacuum sweep for the harness-local stores.
  • events.rs / turn_stats.rs / stats.rs — append-only event sink and per-turn telemetry recording (context usage, cost, tool favorites) under harness/.
  • prompt.rs — system-prompt renderer (persona + tool docs + environment facts).
  • web_ui/ — the per-agent dashboard (terminal pane, status, schedules) served over the built-in hive-agent web port.
  • paths.rs — canonical path resolution for state/harness dirs and the harness-local sqlite files.

Siblings: hive-agent-mcp (the MCP server this loop points the agent at every turn) and hive-runtime (the library a turn runs through). docs/turn-loop/::Harness binary shape covers all three together.
