`Runtime` gets a fourth operation, `canceller()`: a handle that stops the turn in flight from outside `run`. The ACP backend returns one; claude returns `None`, because the harness stops a claude turn by signalling the `claude` process, and that path is unchanged. Both stops send the agent `session/cancel`: - `Canceller::cancel()`, when asked from outside. The turn then ends normally, reported with stop reason `cancelled` whatever reason the agent gives. opencode 1.15.10, for one, answers a cancelled prompt with `end_turn` (`acp/agent.ts` `prompt()` always returns `end_turn`). - The idle watchdog, once no `session/update` has arrived for `Config::idle_timeout`, the same field claude's watchdog reads. The turn fails with `AcpError::IdleTimeout`. An agent that has not answered the prompt 10s after `session/cancel` is killed (`IdleKilled` / `CancelIgnored`), and the next turn respawns it. The watchdog is also what ends a turn stuck on a provider HTTP 429. opencode 1.15.10 retries a retryable provider error with no attempt limit (`session/retry.ts` `policy`, `session/processor.ts` `Effect.retry`) and forwards neither `session.status` nor `session.error` over ACP (its `handleEvent` only handles `permission.asked` and `message.part.*`). So the ACP client sees nothing at all until the provider recovers. The `IdleTimeout` message says a silently retried provider error looks like this. Refs #4391

# hive-runtime
|
|
|
|
The layer an agent's turns are driven through: one `Runtime` interface
|
|
(`run`, `compact`, `archive`, `canceller`) with a backend per runtime.
|
|
|
|
- **claude** — `claude --print` through the `hive-claude` crate's
|
|
`InfiniteSession`. A pass-through: same spawn, same session handling, same
|
|
errors.
|
|
- **acp** — any [Agent Client Protocol](https://agentclientprotocol.com)
|
|
agent, spawned from a command, args and env handed to it (`RuntimeSpec`,
|
|
read from `HIVE_RUNTIME` / `HIVE_ACP_COMMAND` / `HIVE_ACP_ARGS` /
|
|
`HIVE_ACP_ENV`). It knows no agent by name; which agent runs, and how it is
|
|
configured, is decided in nix (`services.hyperhive.agent.runtime`,
|
|
`services.hyperhive.agent.acp.*`).
|
|
|
|
Both backends report a turn through `hive_claude::Sink` in claude's
|
|
`stream-json` shape. The ACP backend translates `session/update`
|
|
notifications into it (text and thought chunks as whole blocks, tool calls as
|
|
`tool_use` + `tool_result`, MCP tools named `mcp__<server>__<tool>`), so the
|
|
harness's stream consumers read either backend unchanged. Context usage comes
|
|
from ACP `usage_update`.
|
|
|
|
The crate depends on no hyperhive binary crate, so `hive-agent` and
|
|
`hive-subagent-mcp` can both drive turns through it.
|
|
|
|
## ACP backend: what it needs from the agent
|
|
|
|
- `mcpCapabilities.http` in its `initialize` response. The hyperhive tools
|
|
are only served over HTTP, so an agent without it is refused at startup.
|
|
- `loadSession`, to pick its session back up after a harness restart.
|
|
Without it every restart starts a new session.
|
|
|
|
## ACP backend: stopping a turn
|
|
|
|
A turn is stopped with `session/cancel`: by the `Canceller` handle, or by the
|
|
idle watchdog once no `session/update` has arrived for
|
|
`Config::idle_timeout`. An agent that has not answered the prompt 10s later
|
|
is killed, and the next turn respawns it. A watchdog stop fails the turn
|
|
with `AcpError::IdleTimeout` (`IdleKilled` if the agent was killed). This is
|
|
the only way a provider error the agent retries without reporting it, such as
|
|
an HTTP 429, ends the turn.
|
|
|
|
## ACP backend: not yet
|
|
|
|
`compact` returns `Error::Unsupported`.
