The auth callout grants an agent that presents its own queue credential one more subject, `$KV.agent-icons.<agent>`: its own key in the agent-icons bucket and no other. The hive's shared agent client is granted none of the bucket, since every agent on a hive presents it. hive-agent writes `/etc/hyperhive/icon.svg`, the file its `GET /icon` serves, to that key once per start, as a JetStream publish straight to the subject (what `kv::Store::put` sends, minus the bucket lookup), so the one subject is the whole grant. No icon deletes the key. A failed write, including one that arrives before the bucket exists, is retried with backoff until acked. An agent connected with the hive's shared client publishes nothing. swarm-controller creates the bucket as soon as its queue connection is up, instead of on the first icon read, so an agent's write does not wait for someone to look. Measured against a local nats-server with a user allowed publish on `$KV.agent-icons.atlas` only: the write to its own key is stored and readable, a write to `$KV.agent-icons.argus` is refused (the ack times out), the DEL marker makes the key read as absent, and a write before the bucket exists fails with "no responders". |

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
socketPathat a directory that carries anything else./run/hyperhiveabove all — it holdshost.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.
