atlas 9513058a71 swarm: serve an agent's icon at swarm scope
An agent is not fixed to a hive, so its icon cannot be resolved as
hive -> agent. This adds the swarm-level half: an `agent-icons` KV
bucket keyed by the agent name alone — no hive token, so an agent that
moves hives keeps its icon and one that is stopped still has one — and
`GET /api/agents/<name>/icon` on swarm-controller serving it
same-origin, like every other `/api/*` route swarm-ui calls.

404 is the "this agent has no icon" answer, the same contract the
per-agent harness's own `GET /icon` has for an unconfigured agent.
Until the agent-side publisher lands, that is every agent's answer:
the publisher runs inside the container and an agent's NATS grants are
hive-scoped, which cannot authorise a write to a single-token agent
key. The read side needs no grant change — the controller already
holds `$KV.*.>` and `$JS.API.DIRECT.GET.*.>`.

The response carries `Content-Security-Policy: sandbox` and `nosniff`:
the body is an operator-authored SVG served from this daemon's own
origin, and an SVG can carry script.

Hive-side icon serving is untouched.

swarm-controller

The swarm-level daemon. Where hive-c0re owns the agents on one host, this owns what is true across hives — so a swarm runs one of them and most hives leave it off.

Opt-in per host via services.hyperhive.deploy.swarm-controller.enable, which is deliberately not derived from services.hyperhive.deploy.hive-controller.enable: turning it on is a statement about swarm topology, not about whether this host runs a hive.

What it does today

Serves one /health endpoint and holds no state.

That is the whole intent of the first slice. The point is to make the unit real — service user, runtime and state directories, socket, nginx reachability — so the swarm-level surfaces that follow have somewhere to land. Inventing those surfaces before they are agreed would bake in a shape nobody chose. See the hyperhive.swarm consolidation epic.

Why a unix socket, not a port

The hive-gateway's nginx is the only intended client and reaches the socket through a bind-mount. A listener that is never bound to an address cannot be reached from off-host by mistake.

The socket path is services.hyperhive.deploy.swarm-controller.socketPath, default /run/swarm-controller/controller.sock, exported to the process as SWARM_CONTROLLER_SOCKET.

⚠️ The socket's directory is its access control

The socket is 0666. It has to be: nginx runs as a different user and connect(2) needs write. This matches how hive-c0re publishes the per-agent sockets, and rests on the same argument — "the bind source dir is per-agent on host so blast radius is unchanged."

What keeps that safe is that the directory holds one socket. So:

Never point socketPath at a directory that carries anything else. /run/hyperhive above all — it holds host.sock, the host admin socket. Pointing nginx at that directory to reach this socket would put the admin socket within its reach too.

nginx is a host service, so nothing narrows what it can reach except the directory itself — that is the whole of the access control. A unit test pins the default path so a tidying edit fails instead of reviewing cleanly.

RuntimeDirectoryPreserve=yes and the daemon's stale-socket unlink on start are a pair: preserving the directory without the unlink means bind fails with EADDRINUSE after a restart.

Packaging

Built by the workspace derivation and extracted as its own package (nix build .#swarm-controller). Deliberately not in nix/packages' daemonBins — that list is the core stack and drives the bundle services.hyperhive.c0re.package points at, so folding this in would put a swarm-scoped service into every hive's closure.
