`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-runhivectlbootstrap). - 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
- How do config changes flow from manager to operator to container? →
agent-lifecycle/approvals.md(approval kinds, approval state machine,flake.lockvalidation). - What state survives destroy / purge / restart? →
agent-lifecycle/persistence.md. - Who can do what to whom — agent hierarchy and privilege? →
agent-lifecycle/agent-hierarchy.md. - How does claude get its prompt, and what tools does it have? →
turn-loop/— the loop, binary shape, turn outcomes; sub-pages:claude-invocation,config,mcp.
Trust boundary & security
- What's the operator/agent trust boundary? What's a capability? →
trust-boundary/boundary.md. - Agent trust model, prompt-injection threat model, credential
isolation? →
trust-boundary/security.md.
Accounts & integrations
- How do per-agent forge accounts work? What does
forge_notifypoll, and how does it format wake messages? →integrations/forge.md(the hive's own Forgejo);tools/forge.mdfor thehive-forgeCLI verbs agents actually call. - How does the matrix-tuwunel container work? Multiple accounts per
agent? →
integrations/matrix.md(the homeserver);tools/matrix.mdfor the MCP tool surface andservices.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; thegh/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
hivectldo? Provisioning, gateway users, container shells? →tools/hivectl.md(the curated guide);tools/hivectl-cli.mdfor 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 receiveendpoint 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.mdfor 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 ownREADME.md, one level up from source; the crate itself is still the source of truth, this is just a walkable mirror.
Process & conventions
- Naming, commit style, wire protocol, the
data-asyncpattern? →process/conventions.md. - Why does the nspawn flag look like that? →
process/gotchas.md(bind mounts, conf flags, other NixOS/nspawn quirks). - What does a PR review verdict actually gate? →
process/pr-review-gate.md.
