atlas d2fb4bff79 feat(#3125): reshape the hive-to-swarm OTEL hop by domain
Drops swarm.otel.url (a loopback default an operator had to override on a
split host) in favor of swarm.otel.domain -- the same
gateway.localNames + nginx-vhost-through-the-gateway shape every other
swarm service (authelia, grafana, victoriametrics, ui) already uses. The
hive tier's exporter now reaches it as https://<domain> unconditionally,
resolved locally by dnsmasq on a co-located host and over the real network
otherwise, instead of a config knob nobody sets until they hit the silent
drop.

Costs CA trust on the hive tier: otel.nix wires
lib/hive-ca-trust.nix's trustBundle with hostUnit = true on the
opentelemetry-collector host unit, the same flag #3441/#3442 added for
swarm-controller and hive-c0re.

# Hive-wide OTEL stats export, and the HIVE tier of the collector pair.
# Set ONCE here at host level; the meta-flake renderer
# (`hive-c0re/src/meta.rs::otel_config`) reads the HYPERHIVE_OTEL_* env
# exported off hive-c0re's unit (see ./hive-c0re) and injects the matching
# `hyperhive.otel.*` build-time config into EVERY agent (mirroring the
# CA-cert injection), so each agent's harness exports its own Claude Code
# stats directly to the collector. There is no per-agent opt-in — this is
# the single switch for the whole hive.
#
# This tier receives from this hive's agents and forwards to the swarm's
# collector (./swarm-otel.nix). It holds no credential and picks no
# destination: an agent's samples cross a hive boundary exactly once, and
# what happens after that is the swarm's decision, not a hive's. The
# upstream options declared below describe that far end and are read one
# tier up — they stay here because they mean what they have always meant.

# needs the same hive-CA trust every other host consumer of an `https://`
# swarm-service name needs — see `swarm-controller.nix` for the sibling
# wiring this copies.
#
# `hostUnit`: `opentelemetry-collector` is a host systemd service, not a
# container, so it reads the CA from the host path and the bundle oneshot
# waits on `hive-tls-ca.service` itself. `enable`: `imports` is
# unconditional at the host's top level, so without it a hive with this

hive-wide export of every agent's Claude Code stats (token usage,
cost, tool calls) to an OTLP endpoint via Claude Code's built-in
OpenTelemetry. One switch for all agents.
Enabling this also runs this hive's collector on the host: there is
exactly one way telemetry leaves this hive, and it is through that
collector. Agents export unauthenticated to a bridge address only
their own containers can reach.
That collector forwards to the swarm's
({option}`services.hyperhive.swarm.otel.enable`), which holds the
upstream credential and writes the swarm's store. So an agent never
sees the credential, and neither does this tier.
The collector is therefore in the path of all telemetry. It runs
on the same host as the agents and restarts on failure, and
telemetry is not the control plane, so degraded telemetry is not
degraded operation but the export no longer survives independently
of anything host-side

Upstream OTLP endpoint: where telemetry ultimately goes, after it
has left the swarm.
Read by the swarm's collector
({option}`services.hyperhive.swarm.otel.enable`), which is the only
tier that holds the upstream credential. An agent is handed the
*first* hop instead this hive's own collector so this value is
never given to a container.
Optional. Leave it empty and the swarm's own metrics store
({option}`services.hyperhive.swarm.victoriametrics.enable`) is the
destination; that is a complete deployment, not a degraded one.
Set both and telemetry goes to both.

OTLP wire protocol for the **upstream** link, honoured by the

Absolute path to an operator-provided secret file holding the

**Only the swarm's collector reads this** the one tier that
talks to the upstream. It arrives as an `EnvironmentFile`, so the
value is never read by nix, never copied into the store or the
generated config, and never passed in argv; and it reaches
neither an agent container nor this hive's own collector, which
is the point of the tiers existing. Must be absolute.
Leave null if the upstream needs no auth header; the collector
then sends none rather than an empty one.

Name of the HTTP header the collector sends upstream, whose
*value* comes from `headersCredential`.
The name is here and the value is not, and that split is forced
rather than chosen: the collector models exporter headers as a
static map, so rendering them means nix reading the value the
one thing `headersCredential` being a path exists to prevent.
A name is public, a value is not.
exactly one header is expressible this way. A credential
carrying several (`a=1,b=2`) would be read as a single value,
which is why the shape is a named header rather than an opaque
blob: a second header has to be *declared*, not smuggled.

Each agent runs claude as a short-lived per-turn process; claude
force-flushes metrics on shutdown, so this is not required for
metrics to be exported, but a lower value gives more frequent
intermediate flushes within long turns. Cosmetic, not a
correctness knob.
