atlas 99b141f5f2 matrix: drop the per-agent matrix.enable; accounts are the enable signal
`services.hyperhive.agent.matrix.enable` was a second source of truth for
a fact the account set already carried: after ①-③ the hive-internal
`main` account is an ordinary `matrixAccounts` entry, so "does this agent
have matrix" and "does this agent have an account" were the same question
asked twice, with the boolean able to disagree.

The option is gone and a non-empty `matrixAccounts` now gates the daemon
unit, its token path-watcher and the injected `extraMcpServers.matrix`
entry.

That is only a real condition because `matrixAccounts.main` is itself
gated: it is declared when `matrix.url != null`, never unconditionally. A
`main` with no homeserver is an account the daemon can never log in as,
so declaring one always would have made the signal trivially true and
turned matrix on for every agent in every hive. With the URL gate, the
empty set is reachable exactly for an agent the hive gave no homeserver
and whose operator declared no account of its own — the state the old
`enable = false` expressed.

Assertions: "extras require enable" is deleted, having become the
definition of the thing it checked (an external-only account with its own
homeserver is now rendered rather than rejected). `main.tokenFile` stays
pinned, re-guarded on `? main` instead of on the flag, since `main` is
absent whenever the URL is null and an unguarded index would throw there.

Both spellings of the option get `mkRemovedOptionModule`, following
../host-modules/deploy.nix's registrationTokenFile pair rather than a
silent delete: the definition whose meaning changes is `false`, and left
undeclared it would be ignored and hand the agent the tools its operator
turned off. Failing the eval with the replacement spelling is the only
outcome that cannot.

module-eval gains the three arms — URL, nothing, external-only — with the
middle one carrying why it exists: it is the only thing in the suite that
would notice `main` becoming unconditional again.

hyperhive docs

Depth reference for hyperhive — the substrate, not the pitch (that's the top-level README / website). Every page here stands alone; pick the one matching your task rather than reading top to bottom. For the autogenerated NixOS options reference (every services.hyperhive.* / hyperhive.* option, host and agent), see the options site instead — this tree is prose, that one's generated straight from the module declarations.

Getting started

  • Bringing a fresh hive online?getting-started/setup.md (first-run hivectl bootstrap).
  • What does the dashboard look like, and how do I use it?web-ui/ — the operator-facing starting point; its own sub-pages (shape, dashboard, agent, css-vars, terminal-rendering) go deeper into implementation.
  • What tools does an agent (or the operator) have available?tools/hivectl (yours) plus every agent's MCP tool surface (bash, forge, lifecycle, matrix, scheduling).

Agent lifecycle

Trust boundary & security

Accounts & integrations

  • How do per-agent forge accounts work? What does forge_notify poll, and how does it format wake messages?integrations/forge.md (the hive's own Forgejo); tools/forge.md for the hive-forge CLI verbs agents actually call.
  • How does the matrix-tuwunel container work? Multiple accounts per agent?integrations/matrix.md (the homeserver); tools/matrix.md for the MCP tool surface and services.hyperhive.agent.matrixAccounts.
  • How do I give an agent a GitHub account (gh + git push)? how's the PAT injected?integrations/github.md (operator content up top; the gh/git-push + notification-poller mechanics are in a collapsed "Implementation" section at the bottom).
  • What's /knowledge? How does the hive-wide knowledge repo sync, and how do I contribute a document?integrations/knowledge.md.
  • What does hivectl do? Provisioning, gateway users, container shells?tools/hivectl.md (the curated guide); tools/hivectl-cli.md for the exhaustive, autogenerated flag reference.

Networking & swarms

  • What nginx vhosts does the gateway serve? How does matrix discovery work?networking/gateway.md.
  • How does DNS resolution work in agent containers? What's the bridge network for?networking/network.md.
  • How do I connect two hives into a swarm?swarm/ (peer hives, TLS trust).
  • Where do agent snapshots go? How does the swarm's btrfs receive endpoint authenticate a pushing hive?networking/snapshot-store.md.
  • Who mints each credential, who reads it, and how does it rotate — and where's that shape headed?swarm/credentials.md (current state, target state, and the progressive-enhancement rule); swarm/secrets.md for where each file lives today.

Scheduler, CI, observability

  • what's the job queue, as a general idea (not hive-c0re specifics)?scheduler/jobq.md — operator-facing, no implementation detail.
  • How does the rebuild queue work? What are the concrete step kinds, queue sources, scheduler internals?scheduler/coordinator.md.
  • How does the CI runner work? What's the autoregistration flow?scheduler/ci.md.
  • How do I export Claude Code metrics (tokens, cost, tool calls) to Prometheus/Grafana?scheduler/observability.md.

Crate reference

  • What does a specific Rust crate do, on its own terms?crates/ — every workspace crate's own README.md, one level up from source; the crate itself is still the source of truth, this is just a walkable mirror.
