atlas a5210311bf feat(nix): the matrix server_name follows the swarm domain too
A swarm runs one homeserver, so its identity belongs to the swarm and
not to whichever hive happens to host it -- otherwise relocating the
container between hives reads as a different homeserver rather than a
move. `gatewayHost` moved for that reason a commit ago; `serverName`
was left behind, which made the identity hive-shaped and the routing
swarm-shaped.

⚠️ This is the one value on the page that a rebuild cannot undo.
`gatewayHost` is a routing detail clients rediscover through
`.well-known`; `server_name` is embedded in every user and room id, so
adopting a new one strands the existing accounts and rooms rather than
renaming them -- their ids still name a homeserver that stops
answering. Moving the DEFAULT is safe; moving a RUNNING deployment is
not, and existing hives must pin the value they already minted ids
under before rebuilding.

The fallback stays total on a null swarm domain for the same reason as
its neighbours: the required-domain assertion in hive-network.nix is
what should fire, not a coercion error from an unrelated option
interpolating null.

The legacy-pin eval probe now covers `serverName` as well. It existed
to answer "what do I set so old deployments don't change", and was
proving that only for the two values that are cheap to change -- the
irreversible one was the one it did not assert.

Defaults to `services.hyperhive.swarm.domain` (the bare swarm
domain), because **a swarm runs one homeserver** tying its
identity to a single hive's domain would make relocating the
container between hives look like a different homeserver.
Combined with the `.well-known/matrix/{client,server}` routes
the gateway serves at that domain, clients auto-discover the
actual matrix endpoint without needing a subdomain. Override
here only if you need a different server_name shape (e.g.
`chat.example.org` for a bespoke hostname).
**Breaking change, and the one on this page that cannot be
undone by rebuilding.** This default has now moved twice from
`matrix.''${services.hyperhive.domain}`, then to the bare hive
domain, and now to the swarm domain. Every existing homeserver
must pin whichever value it already minted ids under, e.g.
```nix
services.hyperhive.swarm.matrix.serverName =

Open `httpPort` in the host firewall. Off by default
(secure-by-default): the host reaches the homeserver on
loopback, and agent containers reach it at `matrix.<domain>`

access from outside the host. Flip to `true` when announcing
the homeserver to other hives or when an external matrix
client needs to reach the client-server API directly.
**Breaking change**: this used to default to `true`. If you
relied on the old default for external reach, add
`services.hyperhive.swarm.matrix.openFirewall = true;` to your host
config before rebuilding.
Note: federation (the matrix-spec well-known port 8448) is
intentionally not opened here. tuwunel serves the federation
API on the same `httpPort` as the client-server API by
default; reaching it on 8448 requires either binding tuwunel
to that port explicitly OR a reverse-proxy + `.well-known/
matrix/server` delegation, neither of which lives in this
module. Add that proxy config alongside whatever serves your
dashboard or forge on 443.

agents join encrypted rooms on external / federated homeservers,
