A hive publishing its own status needs the same connect the controller already has - mint an authelia token, present it at CONNECT for the callout responder, let async-nats re-run the callback per attempt. Only the use differs: the controller reads, a hive writes. Copying it would put credential handling in two places, and a token-refresh fix would then have to be found twice. That is the same reasoning that already put hive-sock-client in its own crate rather than in each daemon that speaks to a unix socket. `from_env` takes a prefix rather than hardcoding SWARM_CONTROLLER_*: the variables belong to the consuming unit, since a NixOS module sets them alongside its other options. What is shared is the RULE - all four together or none at all - not the spelling. The half-set case gains a test, because it is the case the rule exists for and it previously had none. No jetstream/kv feature on the crate: it ends at a connected client, and what a consumer does with it should be visible in that consumer's own Cargo.toml. Behaviour-preserving, and proven that way rather than by inspection: the full behavioural gate (real nats-server, credential rotation, mutation) is 20/0 unchanged, and the controller's own tests still pass. |

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.swarm.controller.enable, which is
deliberately not derived from services.hyperhive.enable: turning it on is
a statement about swarm topology, not about whether hyperhive is installed.
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 #3066 and 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.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.
