hyperhive/hive-c0re

hive-c0re

The unprivileged host daemon (runs as hive-core). Owns the sqlite broker, the reminder queue, the generic job-DAG queue, container lifecycle, gateway vhost wiring, forge/matrix config reconciliation, per-container stats, and the axum operator dashboard. Largest crate in the workspace — bin-only, no separate lib.

When to use it

Host-level, cross-container orchestration: spawning/rebuilding/ destroying agent containers, dashboard-visible state, wiring each agent's gateway vhost and reconciling its forge config-repo access and matrix room membership. The accounts themselves are swarm-controller's (docs/integrations/forge.md). Agent-side behavior (turn loop, MCP tools) lives in hive-agent/hive-agent-mcp instead — this daemon only talks to agents over the socket wire types in hive-sh4re.

Shape

Cohesive clusters live in directory submodules, each re-exported at the crate root (crate::broker::… keeps resolving regardless of which subdirectory a module actually lives in). One line each — read the module's own //! doc-comment for real detail, don't expect this file to track it:

• dashboard/ — the operator dashboard (containers, schedules, logs, topology).
• job_queue/ — the job-DAG queue + desired-state reconciliation (docs/scheduler/coordinator.md).
• lifecycle/ — nixos-container lifecycle + per-agent config flake generation.
• stores/ — sqlite-backed stores (broker, queues, audit, power).
• workers/ — background sweeps (crash watch, autoupdate, knowledge sync).
• agent_config/ — per-agent registries (permissions, resource limits, topology).
• stats/ — dashboard metrics aggregation + OTEL export.
• socket_server/ — the unix-socket request server for the per-agent sockets.
• forge/ — optional Forgejo wiring (docs/integrations/forge.md).
• coordinator.rs — top-level wiring for serve.
• meta_rev.rs — which internal/meta commit an agent builds from, and the markers a successful build writes. agent_set.rs — the files that follow the agent set (topology, gateway map). meta.rs — the commit that removes the legacy permission seed files. migrate.rs — schema/state migrations.
• matrix.rs, gateway_nginx.rs, priv_client.rs — matrix provisioning, gateway vhosts, and the hive-priv client respectively.
