iris 8c7bc850f3 dashboard: render agent topology as a tree in the container list
Closes #363 (frontend half of milestone #361). Consumes the
`ContainerView.parent: Option<String>` field landing in damocles'
backend slice — when present, the container list renders depth-first
with sibling-position tree glyphs (├─ / └─ joints + │ continuation
columns). When absent (pre-#361 state — every container's `parent` is
None) the tree collapses to a flat list with no glyphs and no indent
— bit-identical to the legacy render.

## Tree shape

- Roots: containers whose `parent` is None OR whose parent name isn't
  in the current container set (orphan tolerance).
- Sibling ordering: alphabetical by name within each level (matches
  damocles' wire spec at #363#issuecomment-3356).
- Cycle safety: any container not reached via the root-walk gets
  emitted as a root at the end — no agent ever silently disappears
  from the list when the topology is malformed.
- Tree glyphs: ancestor at depth d contributes a │ continuation column
  when that ancestor has more siblings below; otherwise a 3-space gap.
  The joint is ├─ for non-last siblings, └─ for the last child.
- Depth-0 ancestor column is suppressed: roots already separate
  visually as top-level rows, no need for a column 0 vertical line.

## DOM / CSS

- New `buildAgentTree(containers)` + `treePrefix(node)` helpers in
  app.js. The render loop walks the tree-ordered list instead of the
  legacy alphabetical containers array.
- Each container row gets `data-depth=N` (only when N > 0) and a
  `<span class="tree-prefix">…</span>` prepended (absolute-positioned
  into the row's left margin so the existing flex icon/body layout
  isn't disrupted).
- CSS: per-depth `margin-left` step rules for depths 1-6 (hardcoded
  rather than typed-attr() because CSS Values 5 is Chromium-only as
  of 2026). 6 depths cover any reasonable hive topology with
  headroom; deeper agents render at depth 6 indent without further
  step — visually clamps gracefully.
- `.tree-prefix` rendered with `var(--purple-dim)` so the structural
  lines read as supporting chrome, not as content.

## Validation

- `npm run build` clean. Bundle deltas: dashboard app.js
  +1.8kb (tree builder + treePrefix + render-loop tweak),
  dashboard.css +0.4kb (tree-prefix + per-depth indent rules).
- The render is a no-op until `ContainerView.parent` is populated —
  validation in production deferred to once damocles' meta-topology
  field lands. The pre-#361 path (every parent=None) is exercised
  by every existing dashboard load.
- Forward-compatible with damocles' design pivot at #364 (topology
  source moved from agent.nix to meta/topology.json). The wire shape
  on ContainerView is unchanged from the frontend's perspective — the
  field is just sourced from a different backend store.

hyperhive frontend

npm workspaces project for the hyperhive browser-facing assets:

  • packages/shared/ — shared modules used by both surfaces (terminal pane, Catppuccin palette + body typography).
  • packages/dashboard/ — the hive-c0re dashboard SPA.
  • packages/agent/ — the per-container web UI (default agent page, stats, screen).

Build

npm install            # one-off; uses the checked-in package-lock.json
npm run build          # builds every workspace into packages/*/dist/

The Rust binaries serve packages/dashboard/dist/ and packages/agent/dist/ via tower_http::ServeDir at runtime; the build derivation is wired up in nix/modules/frontend.nix. Per-agent additions are layered on top of the default agent dist via the hyperhive.frontend.extraFiles option in agent.nix.

Why npm + esbuild

  • Hermetic: dependencies vendored via the checked-in lockfile; buildNpmPackage in nix uses it as the source-of-truth so the output is reproducible without network access at build time.
  • esbuild: vanilla-JS bundler, no framework runtime overhead. Each workspace's build.mjs is ~30 lines.
  • Single-PR migration: see issue #273 for the design proposal and the four-commit shape (npm scaffold → nix derivations → container plumbing → Rust cutover).
