iris dd8b5db7ab docs: fix remaining stale internal references from the #3281 sweep
Two follow-ups the per-file sweep workers flagged but couldn't fix
themselves (either not their assignment, or not visible from their
worktree):

- web-ui/dashboard.md's P33RS tab named dashboard.rs, which no longer
  exists (hive-c0re/src/dashboard/ is a module dir now); the function
  moved to state_snapshot.rs.
- approvals.md and conventions.md used hive_ag3nt:: as a Rust
  module-path prefix. hive-agent is a bin-only crate (no lib target),
  so that prefix never resolved to anything; also fixed the
  hive-ag3nt/prompts/system.md path to the real hive-agent/prompts/.

All three verified directly against the current source tree, not
guessed.

Dashboard layout

Part of Web UI. See also: Shape (shared) · Per-agent page

The dashboard is served at /dashboard.html (with the home page at /). It has a fixed chrome header at the top and a <main> that shows exactly one tab pane at a time. The URL hash (#swarm, #call, #system, #permissions, #schedules, #peers, #settings) drives which pane is active; hash changes don't reload the page. FL0W, L0GS, and the optional M4TR1X client are separate pages reachable from the H0M3 hub at /, not from the dashboard tab strip.

Chrome header (fixed, overlays the active tab pane):

  • ← home back-link: top-left of the chrome, links to the H0M3 hub at /. Every surface links back to the hub rather than to each other.
  • Tab strip: ◆ SW4RM ◆, ◆ Y3R C4LL ◆, ◆ P3RM1SS10NS ◆, ◆ SCH3DUL3S ◆. In-page tabs only — the SYST3M panels moved to the standalone C0R3 page (/core.html), and FL0W / L0GS / ST4TS / S3TT1NGS / M4TR1X live on their own pages too, all reachable from the H0M3 hub (not the tab strip). Peer hives render as a headline under SW4RM rather than a tab. Count pills on SW4RM (container count), Y3R C4LL (pending approvals + questions + unread operator messages), and SCH3DUL3S (active schedules); P33RS and S3TT1NGS have no count.
  • Banner-thin (░▒▓█▓▒░ HYPERHIVE / HIVE-C0RE / WE ARE THE WIRED ░▒▓█▓▒░) — sits below the tab strip.
  • Server-warnings banner — a generic, sticky top-of-page strip shown on every page (dashboard + the stand-alone FL0W / L0GS / H0M3 pages), injected at the top of <body> by renderServerWarnings in common.js. Driven by state.server_warnings — a list of { kind, level, message } from hive-c0re's host_stats::server_warnings — and coloured by level (warn amber / crit red). The backend owns the threshold + message, so adding a new system warning needs no frontend change. The only producer today is the host disk-pressure check (a statvfs probe of /nix: ≥85% used → warn, ≥95% → crit, e.g. ⚠ host nix store N% full (G GiB free) — garbage-collect …). Hidden when there are no warnings.
  • Browser tab titlehive / c0re by default; updated to <swarm> / <hive> once hive_name / swarm_name arrive in the state snapshot. When there are pending approvals or unanswered questions, a (N) prefix is prepended — (3) pr1ma / hive-c0re — so the operator can see the call count in an unfocused browser tab without opening the dashboard. The prefix is set on the initial /api/state cold-load and updated live by approval_added / approval_resolved / question_added / question_resolved SSE events; it's preserved when hive_name / swarm_name later replace the raw title.

The FL0W and L0GS pages use a slim header (a ← home back-link + the page title) rather than the dashboard tab strip — they're standalone surfaces, not tab panes.

SW4RM tab

C0NTAINERS — live containers rendered as a depth-first tree using ContainerView.parent (populated by topology.rs). Each container's row is prefixed with ASCII tree glyphs (├─, └─, continuation columns) showing the agent parent/child hierarchy. When every container has parent = null (flat topology) the tree collapses to a plain list with no glyphs. Children are sorted alphabetically within each parent; roots likewise. Cycles in the parent graph are tolerated — orphaned containers (not reachable from any root) are appended as roots so no agent disappears. Pulsing red banner at the top of this section if any two sub-agents hash to the same port (port_conflicts from /api/state): the operator must rename one of them and rebuild. lifecycle::{spawn,rebuild} also preflight this and refuse with a clear error message naming the conflicting agent.

↻ UPD4TE 4LL button appears above the containers list when any agent is stale.

Y3R C4LL tab

Things blocked on operator decision — approvals and questions share a tab because they're the same concept ("something is waiting on you").

P3NDING APPR0VALS — the queue (see "Approval card" below). The R3QU3ST SP4WN form lives at the top of this section. A pending · N / history · N tab pair switches between the live queue and the last 30 resolved approvals (see "Approval card" for the history row shape).

M1ND H4S QU3STI0NS — pending ask calls waiting on the operator, with amber pulsing border. Anatomy of each card:

  • Filter chipsall · N, @operator · N, @peer · N, plus one chip per participant name (@asker · N / @target · N). Every chip shows its own count so the operator can see the distribution at a glance. Clicking a chip narrows the visible list; selection persists in localStorage so a tab switch doesn't lose the filter.
  • Question card — timestamp · asker → target · body text (with file-path links). Operator-targeted questions (target = null) show ▸ ANSW3R; peer-targeted questions (target = agent) show ⤿ 0V3RR1D3 so the operator can unblock an agent-to-agent exchange. Questions with a ttl_seconds show a ⏳ MM:SS live countdown chip; the host-side watchdog resolves with answerer = "ttl-watchdog" on expiry.
  • Answer form — free-text textarea (Enter = submit, Shift+Enter = newline) + optional option list (radio for single-select, checkboxes for multi=true). Submit merges selected options + free text comma-joined into a single answer field. ✗ CANC3L is a separate form so the submit merge handler doesn't interfere.
  • ◆ answ3red (N) — collapsible <details> below the pending list; shows the last 20 resolved questions with their answers.

0PER4T0R 1NB0X — messages agents have sent to to="operator" but the operator hasn't read yet. Cold-loaded from /api/operator-inbox on tab activation + page load; appended live from the broker sent stream (deduped on row id). Each row shows sender · timestamp · body (with file-path linkification). A ✓ mark all read button on the right acks all rows via POST /api/agent/operator/mark-all-read (reuses the existing mark-read endpoint). Unread count folds into the Y3R C4LL tab pill so messages are visible from any tab even while inactive. Backed by GET /api/operator-inbox{ messages: [...] } (id, from, body, at, in_reply_to, file_refs).

C0R3 page (/core.html)

Passive / rare-interaction state. No longer a dashboard tab — it's a standalone page reached from the Core tile on the H0M3 hub (served at /core.html), with the same minimal chrome as /logs.html: a ← home back-link + a createTabStrip sub-tab nav (K3PT ST4T3 default, then C0NT41N3R L04D, then 1NFR4). The page is its own esbuild bundle (core.js) that cold-loads /api/state and subscribes to /api/dashboard/stream for tombstones_changed, capabilities_changed, and tool_groups_changed (the latter two re-render the stale-perms sub-section when permission data changes). (Rebuild queue and meta inputs have moved to the BU1LDS page — see below.)

K3PT ST4T3 — two sub-sections on one pane:

Tombstones: agents with kept state and no container (size + age + claude-creds badge). Two actions: ⊕ R3V1V3 (queues a Spawn approval; existing state is reused), PURG3 (wipes state + applied dirs; POST /api/purge-tombstone/{name}).

⚠️ Not only destroyed agents. Nothing records a destroy: every definition-side artifact (state subvolume, proposed + applied repos, meta registration, topology entry) is written by Provision before the container exists and survives lifecycle::destroy. So an agent part-way through a spawn is byte-identical on disk to a tombstone, and both are listed. The pane carries a standing warning to that effect, and the row badge says offline rather than destroyed — the absence of a container is all the backend can actually prove. Fixing it properly needs a recorded destroy: #3020, deferred to the swarm-controller / snapshot-storage rework where the problem changes shape.

Stale permission entries: agents with explicit capability or tool-group JSON entries but no live container — typically renamed or deleted agents whose entries persisted in capabilities.json / tool-groups.json. Lazy-loaded on first K3PT ST4T3 tab activation; auto-refreshes on capabilities_changed + tool_groups_changed SSE events. Each ghost agent gets a ✕ clear perms button (DELETE /api/permissions/{name}).

C0NT41N3R L04D — live CPU + memory per agent container, read straight from cgroup v2 on the host (cpu.stat, memory.current, memory.peak, memory.max under /sys/fs/cgroup/machine.slice/machine-h\x2d<name>.scope/). CPU is a host-normalised percentage (0..100 across all cores) sampled over a short (~200 ms) two-read interval; memory shows current + peak with a bar against the memory.max quota. Backed by GET /api/container-resources (container_stats.rs), which reads the files read-only (world-readable; no hive-priv) and skips agents whose scope dir is absent (= not running). Pull-only: core.js polls every 5 s only while the C0NT41N3R L04D sub-tab is active (CPU needs a fresh sample each refresh), and stops on sub-tab change. Disk size (disk_bytes) rides the same row but is fed by a separate ~5 min background du sampler (state dir + container writable rootfs, shared nix store excluded via du -x), so the 5 s poll stays cheap cgroup-only reads; the row carries the last-sampled value (null until the first sample). Network is intentionally omitted — agents share the host netns, so there is no per-container net counter (per-agent network needs the netns-isolation roadmap in docs/network.md).

1NFR4 — start / stop / restart the four hive infrastructure services (hive-ci, hive-forge, hive-gateway, hive-matrix) directly from the dashboard, without needing an infra_admin agent's restart MCP tool. Three are containers; hive-gateway is the host's nginx.service, and is the one an agent may not restart — this panel is the way it gets bounced. One row per service: name, a badge-ok/badge-fail running/stopped dot, and ↺ R3ST4RT + ■ ST0P (running) or ▶ ST4RT (stopped) buttons, same themed-confirm pattern as the K3PT ST4T3 tombstone actions. Backed by POST /api/infra-container/{name}/{action} (actionstart|stop|restart), which calls the same priv_client::control_infra_container helper the agent-facing infra_admin path uses — no new privileged-helper surface, no capability check (the dashboard is already operator-authenticated). Every attempt is written to the audit log (actor "operator", action start_infra/stop_infra/restart_infra) alongside agent-driven infra restarts. Status rows ride the infra_containers field on GET /api/state's StateSnapshot ({name, running}, live systemctl is-active container@<unit>.service read); core.js polls /api/state every 5 s only while the 1NFR4 sub-tab is active, same cadence/lifecycle as C0NT41N3R L04D's polling.

BU1LDS page (/builds.html)

The build lifecycle hub — rebuild queue, live build log, meta inputs, and build log history on one page. Standalone page reached from the Builds tile on the H0M3 hub, same minimal chrome as /core.html. Three sub-tabs: R3BU1LD QU3U3 (default), M3T4 1NPUTS, BUILD L0GS. Its own esbuild bundle (builds.js); cold-loads /api/state and subscribes to /api/dashboard/stream for rebuild_queue_changed, meta_inputs_changed, meta_update_running. The SW4RM tab (/dashboard.html) does not read this endpoint at all, by design — the swarm view stays independent of job-queue internals. Its per-agent pending badges are transient-only, and its queue-summary banner reads the much narrower GET /api/jobq/rollup instead (see Container row, below) — a handful of pre-tallied counts, not the graph.

R3BU1LD QU3U3 — pending, in-flight, and recently-settled container operations: rebuilds, meta-update cascades, and first-spawns. One operation runs at a time; the worker drains FIFO. Is a mounted <hive-jobq-graph endpoint="/api/jobq/graph"> (the shared generic graph-viewer component, @hive/shared/jobq-graph.js) — builds.js does not render the queue itself; it just mounts the element and listens for its hive-jobq-graph-update event to drive the two things below it that the generic view doesn't show. The component owns fetching, cold and live: GET /api/jobq/graph on mount, and .refresh() on every rebuild_queue_changed SSE tick (that event is a bare { seq } trigger — it carried a typed queue snapshot until every consumer had moved to the generic endpoint, and now carries none; both dashboard pages treat the tick as a pure refetch trigger).

Each row is one root graph node (parent: null); a multi-step op's per-agent subgraphs and sub-steps render as nodes within that one entry (structural parent edges define the tree; sibling order is array order, unchanged from the wire). A row shows a state glyph ( pending / running / finishing — own work done, a sub-node still running / done / failed / cancelled / · skipped) and each step's own label/agent. A Node-kind dep on a sibling shows as a plain "waits on: <label>" text line under the row rather than a gutter rail — a rail breaks visually whenever a nested subtree sits between the two related rows, since a text line needs no continuous vertical space to draw. builds.js mounts the element with cancellable set, which turns on a per-node cancel button () on any non-terminal row — the button dispatches hive-jobq-graph-cancel, and the page does the actual POST /api/rebuild-queue/{id}/cancel, matching the wire event as its own domain concept (the component knows nothing about that endpoint). Rows carry no source chip, kind label, timing, or build-log deep-link — the generic graph wire doesn't carry those fields, and rows are meant to present exactly what the endpoint provides rather than reconstruct chrome the backend no longer sends. Settled entries render their full step tree, not just a bare summary — the wire does not filter Done nodes out.

State filter (hyperhive#2606). A row of per-state checkboxes above the tree — one per lifecycle state, matching the row glyphs — lets the operator narrow which root groups render; unchecking a state re-fetches GET /api/jobq/graph?states=<checked, comma-joined> rather than hiding rows client-side, so hive-jobq-graph-update's node list (and everything downstream of it — the count pill, the live-log panel) only ever sees what's actually shown. Filtering is by a root's own state, which is already its subtree's rolled-up answer, so a group is kept or dropped whole, never split mid-tree. Default selection is every state except Done/Skipped — a fresh queue view leads with what's still moving or needs attention, not the settled tail; the states param is omitted entirely (identical request to before this filter existed) when every state is checked. Server-side: the query narrows [Queue::graph_snapshot]'s already-bounded (MAX_HISTORY_DAGS) root set — the history cap and the state filter are independent concerns, so a narrow filter never reaches further back in time to compensate.

Below the queue, a live build-log panel (#rebuild-live-log, renderRebuildLiveLog) shows the currently-running rebuild's output inline — collapsible, with a live/ok/fail badge and a ↓ raw download. It's keyed to the first Running node (in wire order) whose payload.data.build_log_id is set — read from the hive-jobq-graph-update event's node list, same source as the count pill, no separate fetch — and polls GET /api/build-log/{id} every 2s (fetchAndRenderLiveLog / liveLogPollTimer); not an EventSource (that's the BUILD L0GS tab's own per-row expand view below — GET /api/build-logs/id/{id}/stream, real SSE, replays accumulated output on connect — a separate mechanism). The live-log panel lives in its own container outside #rebuild-queue-section so the mounted <hive-jobq-graph>'s own re-renders never disturb the open poll; it hides when nothing is building.

M3T4 1NPUTS — inputs in meta/flake.lock the operator can selectively nix flake update, rendered as an indented tree: every fetched input at every depth (hyperhive, hyperhive/nixpkgs, agent-<n>, agent-<n>/mcp-<x>, …), each shown once at its shallowest path. read_meta_inputs walks the lock graph with a visited set — follows aliases and rev-less nodes are skipped. A select all / select none control sits above the tree. Checking inputs + submitting bumps the lock in /meta/ and rebuilds the selected agents in sequence; each outcome reaches the root agent as a rebuilt system event. POST /meta-update. While a lock-bump ripple runs, the panel shows a pulsing " meta-update running" banner and the update button is disabled (snapshot field meta_update_running, live event meta_update_running).

BUILD L0GS — all-agents build log history (moved from /logs.html). Lazy-loaded on first tab activation; auto-refreshes when rebuild_queue_changed fires. Fetches GET /api/build-logs?limit=30. Renders a scrollable list of build entries; each row is a collapsible button showing status badge (live / ok / fail), agent name, elapsed duration, build kind, age, and the invocation command line. Expanding a row fetches the full stdout+stderr via GET /api/build-logs/id/{id}. A live in-progress build shows a live badge with a ticking elapsed-time chip; expanding streams output via GET /api/build-logs/id/{id}/stream with sticky-bottom auto-scroll (suspends on manual scroll-up). Deep-link: ?id=N#buildlogs opens the entry with that id pre-expanded.

CR3D3NTIALS page (/credentials.html)

Operator surface to provision per-agent credentials without editing the agent's config repo. Standalone page reached from the Credentials tile on the H0M3 hub, same minimal chrome as /logs.html (a ← home back-link

  • a sub-tab strip, via the shared @hive/shared/tabs.js tab strip) rather than /core.html's plain title. Its own esbuild bundle (credentials.js); no SSE — it reads /api/state once for the (shared) agent picker and otherwise works off purpose-built endpoints per tab. Three sub-tabs:

MATRIX tab

Provision / log in a per-agent external matrix account and store its access token (this half is unchanged from the old /matrix-accounts.html page it replaces — only the URL and surrounding chrome moved).

An agent picker (populated from state.containers, the live roster) drives a list of that agent's accounts — name, homeserver, user id, and a status dot — read from GET /api/matrix-accounts?agent=<name>{ accounts: [ { name, homeserver, token_present, live, user_id } ], as_of_unix }. token_present is whether a token is stored; live, homeserver, and user_id are backfilled from the matrix daemon's matrix-accounts.json snapshot — a host-visible file the daemon force-rewrites every ~30s (a heartbeat), so as_of_unix (the snapshot mtime) advances while the daemon is alive and a stalled value genuinely means "stopped publishing", not just "old snapshot". An account with a token but absent from the snapshot reports live: false.

The status dot renders these states:

  • greenlive and the container is running: online.
  • dim greenlive but as_of_unix hasn't advanced in > ~90s (3 missed heartbeats) while the container is not down: the daemon stopped publishing, so the snapshot's live is no longer trustworthy (likely dead/wedged). Labelled "online · no heartbeat".
  • amberlive but the container is down (a stopped container ⟹ a dead daemon, so the snapshot is stale); also the token_present && !live "provisioned but offline" case.
  • grey — no token (not provisioned).

The container-down cross-reference (/api/state) takes precedence over the age check. as_of_unix is tooltipped ("live as of N ago") throughout so freshness is always legible. When live is absent (an older backend without the snapshot) the dot falls back to a token-present rendering.

The provision form (account name, homeserver, login method) posts POST /api/matrix-account-login (x-www-form-urlencoded, operator-auth): fields agent, account, homeserver, mode=password|token, user_id?, password?, token?200 { ok, user_id } on success. Failures come back as RFC 9457 application/problem+json ({ type, title, status, detail }) with the human-readable message in detail and the status code reflecting the cause (400 for a validation error, 500 for a login / whoami / internal failure); the page reads detail for display. The host coordinator performs the login (password) or validates the token (whoami) and writes the bearer to the agent's matrixAccounts.<account>.tokenFile via the same privileged write path as the hive-internal matrix-token; the token is never echoed back, and the page clears the secret inputs on submit regardless of outcome. The account list reflects what is provisioned (an account with a stored token), so a config-declared-but-unprovisioned account appears only once it has been provisioned through the form.

GITHUB tab

Provision a single per-agent GitHub personal access token (see docs/github.md for the injection + gh/git-push mechanics). No login flow — the operator pastes an existing PAT for a dedicated bot account, with a security-warning banner (dedicated account + minimally-scoped token) and a link to github.com/settings/tokens.

Status reads GET /api/github-account?agent=<name>{ present: bool } — whether the agent's github-token file exists. There's no live/heartbeat concept for a static PAT, so this is just a "token stored ✓" / "not set" line, unlike MATRIX's status-dot taxonomy. Provisioning posts POST /api/github-account (form-encoded agent, token) → 200 { ok: true } on success, or the same error_response shape /api/matrix-account-login uses on failure. The token is never echoed back in either direction.

FORGES tab

Store a label + base URL + access token for an external Forgejo/Gitea/ Codeberg-compatible forge, per agent. Entirely dashboard-provisioned — there is no host-side nix config for this (no services.hyperhive. extraForges option). The operator creates the token on the external forge themselves (however that forge lets them — PAT UI, a teammate with admin, whatever) and pastes label/URL/token into the form; hive-c0re never talks to the external forge's API and never creates an account there.

The selected agent's stored forges come from GET /api/extra-forges? agent=<name>{ forges: [{ label, base_url }] }, derived by scanning the agent's state dir for forge-<label>-token files (mirrors the MATRIX tab's filename-scan listing) with base_url backfilled from a sibling forge-<label>.json sidecar. Submitting the add form posts POST /api/ extra-forge-account (form-encoded agent, label, base_url, token, action=add) → 200 { ok: true }, which writes both files through the same privileged write path as the other tabs. Each row's remove button opens a themed confirm dialog, then posts the same endpoint with action=remove, deleting both local files — nothing changes on the remote forge. The token is never echoed back in either direction.

A per-forge hive-forge --forge <label> CLI selector (to make hive-forge target one of these accounts instead of the internal forge) is a deliberate non-goal of this tab — tracked separately.

P3RM1SS10NS tab

Per-agent permission configuration. Two sections, each rendered as a column-driven checkbox matrix: rows are agents, columns are the permission names fetched from the backend. The column list is authoritative — adding a new tool-group or capability to the backend requires no UI change; the new column appears automatically.

The snapshot carries agents (the full manageable roster — live containers agents with an explicit entry) and effective (per-agent explicit-or-role-default values) alongside the explicit assignments map. Rows come from agents so agents on defaults always appear (not just those with an explicit entry), and checkboxes reflect the effective values so a default agent shows the groups it actually runs with rather than blank — which also means saving it won't silently strip those defaults. The (default) badge keys off absence from assignments (no explicit entry).

Fetches fire on tab activation (not page-load) to avoid unnecessary work when the operator never visits this tab. Live mutations from the rebuild-queue worker are also pushed via the capabilities_changed / tool_groups_changed SSE events (same payload shape as the GET endpoints), so an open P3RM1SS10NS tab reflects worker-applied changes without requiring navigation. Tab-activation re-fetches remain as a safety net for reconnect windows.

C4P4B1L1T13S — per-agent capability grants. Capabilities unlock gated MCP tools and system-level access beyond the default agent surface. A saving POST queues a rebuild for the affected agent so the new HIVE_CAPABILITIES env var takes effect in the next session.

The current capabilities are:

Name Effect
manage_root_agent allows the set_status / lifecycle tools on the root agent
read_host_journal unlocks get_host_journal to read journald from inside a container
query_agent_state allows get_loose_ends(agent: "<name>") calls targeting other agents
infra_admin allows restart on hive infrastructure containers (hive-ci, hive-forge, hive-matrix; the gateway is operator-only); each restart is logged to the AUDIT trail

Each row is one agent. Columns are the capability names returned by GET /api/capabilities as caps: Vec<String>. Checking or unchecking boxes only stages the change in-browser; nothing is written until the page-level save all button (described below) is clicked. Row values follow the effective/assignments rule described above.

T00L GR0UPS — per-agent tool-group permissions. Tool groups are named buckets of MCP tools; each agent starts with a role default (sub-agents: messaging, meta, inbox, execution; root agent: all groups). Checking / unchecking stages which groups are active for the agent; the page-level save all button (below) commits it. Columns come from GET /api/tool-groups. A rebuild is queued so HIVE_TOOL_GROUPS takes effect.

The current tool groups are: messaging, meta, inbox, lifecycle, approvals, scheduling, diagnostics, execution, web_tools. All listed in ToolGroup::ALL in hive-sh4re. The web_tools group is special: it carries no MCP tools; instead it adds Claude's built-in WebFetch and WebSearch to --tools / --allowedTools for that agent session.

Both tables share the same visual shape: .cap-table-wrap / .tg-table-wrap outer scroll container, thead with a label column (.cap-agent-col / .tg-agent-col) + one column per permission (.cap-col / .tg-group-col). Each tbody row is one agent: a name cell and its checkbox cells, where each checkbox carries data-baseline (its render-time state) and the row carries data-agent for dirty-tracking.

Saving — one button for the whole page. There are no per-row save buttons. A single page-level .perm-save-bar with a save all (N agents) button sits at the bottom of the pane, enabled only when some checkbox diverges from its baseline. Clicking it diffs every checkbox across both matrices and POSTs one batch to POST /api/permissions as { changes: [ { agent, tool_groups?, capabilities? } ] } — only the perm-types that actually changed for each agent are included (an omitted field leaves that file untouched; an included array fully replaces it). The backend coalesces an agent's capabilities + tool-groups into a single rebuild, so changing both for one agent is one rebuild, not two. The batch is atomic: it validates every change first and on any error rejects the whole POST ({error}, nothing applied); a clean 200 (ok) flips the bar to a queued→rebuilding state and re-fetches both tables. Live capabilities_changed / tool_groups_changed events re-render the matrices unless the section has unsaved edits, so an in-progress edit set isn't clobbered.

SCH3DUL3S tab

Anything that fires at a future time. Operator-set schedules are created inline in the table (last row); agent self-paced reminders surface at the bottom as a sibling list — they share enough conceptual ground to live together.

N3W SCH3DUL3 / QU3U3D SCH3DUL3S — operator-managed scheduled prompts. Single-table layout: each schedule is one <tr>; columns are # | src | next | every | owner | body | …agents… | actions. Agent columns are dynamic — operator + root + every live container + any extra name that appears as a target on some schedule but isn't a current container (same buildTargetChips membership rule the new/edit forms use, so table and forms agree on what's addressable). Column headers tilt -45° via CSS so each column reads as a narrow ~28px strip; per-agent cells render as:

  • active target<button>✓</button> that cancels just that one target on click
  • cancelled target → muted glyph (no button — re-adding goes through the edit form's targets multi-select)
  • not a target → empty cell

Per-schedule action column:

  • ↯ fire now — sends an out-of-band manual pulse to every active target (recurring schedules keep their cadence; one-shots are consumed after the manual fire). Disabled for paused schedules.
  • / pause/resume toggle — only on recurring schedules (one-shots may also be paused to delay a one-time fire, so the button always appears). Paused rows show a ⏸ paused badge in the next column and are sorted to the middle bucket (after active, before cancelled). A paused schedule does not fire regardless of next_fire_at; resuming () clears the pause without adjusting the next-fire time. POSTs to /api/schedules/{id}/pause or /api/schedules/{id}/resume.
  • ✎ edit — expands an inline edit form as a colspan'd row directly under the schedule's row (body / description / interval / next-fire / targets all editable; targets are a multi-select diff'd against the original active set so unchecked-was-active = targets_remove, checked-not-originally-active = targets_add; submit PATCHes /api/schedules/{id}).
  • — cancels the whole schedule (POST /api/schedules/{id}/cancel).

The next column cell (.sched-due) carries a data-due-at Unix timestamp attribute; a shared 1s ticker rewrites it in-place showing fmtDuration while in the future and overdue X ago once the fire time has passed — same zero-re-render pattern as the reminder due-at labels and the question TTL chip.

The table's last row is a permanent inline creation row: inputs live directly in table cells (targets as checkboxes, body textarea that expands on focus, datetime-local pre-filled to 5 minutes from now, mini d/h/m/s number inputs (blank or all-zero = one-shot), description). Click to POST to /api/schedules as JSON (or to clear the half-filled row); carry-state preserves partially-typed inputs across re-renders. The tab pill shows the count of active schedules (at least one live target not yet cancelled). Refreshed on tab activation and after each submit/cancel. Backed by GET /api/schedules. No backend changes for the table layout — it renders entirely from existing schedulesState + containersState.

QU3U3D R3M1ND3RS — reminders agents have scheduled for themselves (via the remind tool) but not yet delivered. Each row shows the owner, due time, and message; a CANC3L button hard-deletes (POST /api/cancel-reminder/{id}) and a R3TRY button re-arms one whose delivery failed (POST /api/retry-reminder/{id}). Backed by GET /api/reminders. Lives in the SCH3DUL3S tab alongside operator schedules so the operator has one place for everything time-fired. The due-time label (.reminder-due) carries a data-due-at Unix timestamp attribute; a shared 1s ticker rewrites it in-place — showing in Xm Ys while the reminder is in the future and overdue X ago once the deadline passes — without triggering a full re-render of the list.

ST4TS tab

Hive-wide turn statistics, aggregated across every agent's hyperhive-turn-stats.sqlite for the selected window. Distinct from each agent's own /stats page (which carries the per-agent trend charts): ST4TS is the swarm-level rollup.

  • Window selector (1h30d) re-fetches on change.
  • Summary chips: active agents, turns, total/input/output/cache-read tokens, and a labelled est cost.
  • Busiest agents table — one row per agent (most turns first): turns, input / output / cache-read tokens, est cost.
  • Model mix — turns per model across the swarm, as CSS bars.
  • Favorite tools — most-run normalised bash-command heads across the swarm (top 10, as CSS bars), aggregated from each agent's bash_commands table (written by the hive-bash-daemon capture). The header + list stay hidden until at least one agent has recorded a command, so the section never shows an empty block on a fresh hive.

Backed by GET /api/stats-hive?window=<w> in hive-c0re (hive_stats.rs): for every name from Coordinator::kept_state_names() it opens agent_harness_dir(name)/hyperhive-turn-stats.sqlite read-only (with a 500 ms busy_timeout, since turn_stats is rollback-journal) and rolls the rows up — missing / unreadable / zero-turn dbs are skipped so one bad db never fails the endpoint. This is a pull surface (no SSE): the data is fetched on tab activation and on window change. Rendered with plain tables + CSS bars — the dashboard bundle ships no chart library.

The cost figure is a deliberately rough estimate from a per-model price table (est_cost_usd); it drifts with list pricing and is labelled accordingly. The table is operator-tunable via the services.hyperhive.modelPrices nix option — each key is a model-family short name (matched case-insensitively as a substring of the model id, longest match wins) mapping to { input, output, cache_read, cache_write } USD-per-million-token prices. Models not covered fall back to hive-c0re's built-in estimate.

P33RS tab

Peer hives in this swarm. The tab is hidden when the state.peer_hives array from /api/state is empty — i.e. when services.hyperhive.swarm.hives holds no hive other than this one. When at least one peer is present the hidden attribute is removed and the tab becomes active.

P33R H1V3S — each peer renders as a card row: a hexagon icon (), the peer's DNS domain as the primary name, and the peer dashboard HTTPS URL as a clickable secondary link. Clicking the URL opens the peer hive's dashboard in a new tab.

Backend wiring

The host daemon reads services.hyperhive.swarm.peerHives from the nix config (the swarm.hives directory minus this hive), serialises each entry as { name, url } into state.peer_hives: Vec<PeerHiveView>, and includes the field in the /api/state snapshot. tabs.js reads state.peer_hives on every refreshState call and calls swarm.js::renderPeerHives(peers), which rebuilds the #peers-section div from scratch.

The name field is the peer's DNS domain (its entry's domain, not the attrset key — the key is the hive's name); url is https://{domain}/. Both are derived from the env var HYPERHIVE_PEERS (a JSON array of { domain, cert_fingerprint } objects) that the nix module writes into the c0re container environment. cert_fingerprint is null for CA-trusted (e.g. Let's Encrypt) peers and non-null to pin a self-signed cert. parse_peer_hives() in hive-c0re/src/dashboard/state_snapshot.rs converts each entry to the PeerHiveView { name: domain, url: "https://domain/" } shape the frontend reads.

S3TT1NGS tab

Operator-local preferences. State lives in the browser's localStorage — preferences do NOT sync between devices and do NOT survive a profile wipe. Two sections today (browser notifications, agent terminal); future preferences (theme, density, etc.) land here as sibling <h3> blocks in settings.html.

◇ browser notifications🔔 enable notifications button when permission ungranted; 🔕 mute / 🔔 unmute toggle once granted (mute silences the dispatch without revoking the OS-level permission). On unsupported origins (non-secure context, or browsers without the Notification API) the controls hide and a single status line explains why. See ### Browser notifications below for the dispatch model + the three signals the dashboard emits OS notifications on.

◇ agent terminal — a single ☐/☑ expand tool output panels toggle button (role="switch", live aria-checked). Controls whether every per-agent page's terminal defaults otherwise-collapsed <details> rows (long tool-results, Write/Edit diffs, …) open; rows that already default open regardless (send/ask/answer/recv) are unaffected either way. Pure client-side — the key + get/set live in @hive/shared/prefs.js (getExpandDetailsPref/setExpandDetailsPref) so this page and every agent page's app.js read/write the exact same localStorage key without a backend field; the shared terminal factory reads it live via its expandDetails option (see docs/web-ui/shape.md::Shared terminal pane), so a change here applies to any already-open agent tab's next rendered row without a reload.

The FL0W page does NOT host this pane — settings live only on the dashboard's S3TT1NGS tab (reach it via the FL0W page's ← home back-link → Dashboard). Notifications still fire on the FL0W page when they're enabled here, because NOTIF.show() in common.js depends on Notification.permission + the hyperhive.notify.muted localStorage key, not on the buttons existing in the page DOM.

M4TR1X page (/matrix/, optional)

A static matrix web client (default pkgs.fluffychat-web rebuilt with --base-href /matrix/, swappable via services.hyperhive.swarm.matrix.gui.package) served by the hive-gateway nginx container at /matrix/ when services.hyperhive.swarm.matrix.gui.enable is on (defaults to matrix.enable). c0re signals availability via the HIVE_MATRIX_GUI_ENABLED env var → state.matrix_gui_enabled in /api/state; the gateway does the actual static serving.

The operator opens /matrix/ from the Matrix tile on the H0M3 hub, logs in once with the in-host tuwunel homeserver URL (http://localhost:8008 or whatever the matrix module exposes).

The unified nginx-front re-root to https://chat.${hyperhive.swarm.domain} + .well-known/matrix/client auto-discovery lives in docs/gateway.md (atlas's lane).

FL0W page (/flow.html)

A dedicated full-page terminal (not a tab pane — a separate HTML page). Slim chrome: a ← home back-link to the H0M3 hub, the FL0W title, and the agent-filter select (see below). No dashboard tab strip — FL0W is a standalone surface reached from the hub.

The operator inbox is not on this page — it lives on the dashboard's Y3R C4LL tab (◆ 1NB0X ◆ section, with per-message and mark-all read). FL0W stays the pure event firehose.

MESS4GE FL0W — live broker tail wrapped in a .terminal-wrap. Cold load backfills the last ~200 messages from /api/dashboard/history; live frames arrive on /api/dashboard/stream. Each row is one broker event — sent or delivered — with from → to: body. When a sent and delivered event for the same message arrive within 3 seconds (immediate delivery to a live recipient), the row is upgraded in place (arrow becomes green ✓, title reads "sent + delivered") instead of rendering two near-identical lines — genuine delivery latency (recipient was busy) still appears as a second row. Each row carries data-from / data-to attributes; an agent filter select in the FL0W header narrows the timeline to messages involving the chosen agent (matched on from OR to), with non-matching rows hidden (.flow-hidden class). The selection persists in localStorage across reloads; new rows pick up the active filter at render time. The dropdown populates from the live container list and stays current on add/remove; a saved selection survives even if that agent isn't currently listed.

The row is a flex-wrap: wrap container holding ts / arrow / from / sep / to chips inline; the body wraps to its own full-width line below the chips (flex: 1 1 100%) so long timestamps and agent names never push the body into a narrow trailing column. min-width: 0 keeps word-break: break-word effective so the body doesn't force the row wider than its container. Sticky-bottom auto-scroll + "↓ N new" pill. Below the stream sits a terminal-style compose box: @name picks the recipient (sticky via localStorage; auto-complete from the live container list, Tab/Enter to confirm; @* broadcasts). POST /api/op-send drops {from:"operator", to, body} into the broker; the resulting SSE frame re-renders the terminal row. The root agent is addressed as @root.

H0M3 page (/)

The H0M3 hub is the primary landing page (served at / by default). A responsive grid of link tiles — Dashboard, Flow, Logs, Matrix (when enabled), Forge (when enabled), among others (Builds, Stats, Settings, Core, Credentials, API) — each pointing to their respective surfaces. The API tile always shows (unlike Matrix/Forge, see below) and links to the Swagger UI at /api/docs. The page is a pure portal with no tab-bar or SSE subscriptions. Typography + colours inherit from the shared theme (Catppuccin Mocha via common.css + theme.css). Optional tiles are hidden until home.js confirms their availability: Matrix is hidden until home.js confirms matrix_gui_enabled (same gating as the dashboard's M4TR1X tab); Forge is hidden until home.js confirms both state.forge_present and state.forge_public_url (sourced from services.hyperhive.forge.publicUrl, which defaults to the gateway vhost URL when behindGateway=true and is null otherwise) and fills the href from the latter — never guessed from the operator's browser hostname + a container port, which is only right by accident off plain localhost. Operators without matrix or forge enabled — or with forge on but no public URL configured — never see a dead or wrong link. home.js also fills the swarm/hive identity line at the top. All dashboard sub-pages include a ← Home back-link for navigation.

L0GS page (/logs.html)

A dedicated log-viewer page (not a tab pane — a separate HTML page), reachable from the Logs tile on the H0M3 hub. Minimal chrome: a ← home back link and a three-item sub-tab strip. Tab routing is hash-based (#agent, #system, #audit); default is #agent. (Build log history has moved to the BU1LDS page — see above.)

AGENT sub-tab — per-container journald viewer. Two selects: agent name (populated from GET /api/state) and unit filter (hive-agent.service / hive-mcp-http.service / hive-bash-daemon.service / hive-matrix-daemon.service / (full machine journal)). Fetches GET /api/journal/{name}?unit=<unit>&lines=500 on selection change or ↻ refresh. Output rendered as a <pre> block. A ?agent=<name> and/or ?unit=<svc> URL param pre-selects the agent + unit on page load — the per-agent menu's journal logs → entry uses this to deep-link directly to a specific agent's journal. A "fetched N ago" chip appears after the ↻ refresh button following each successful fetch and ticks every 30 s.

SYSTEM sub-tab — host-side service logs. Unit selector (hive-c0re.service / hive-priv.service). Fetches GET /api/journal-host?unit=<unit>&lines=500 on activation and on ↻ refresh. Rendered as a <pre> block. A "fetched N ago" chip ticks every 30 s. Available to the operator unconditionally (not capability-gated — the endpoint lives on the hive-c0re dashboard, behind the gateway).

AUDIT sub-tab — operator-visible trail of agent-initiated privileged actions (e.g. infra-container restarts via infra_admin). Lazy-fetched on tab show (like SYSTEM) from GET /api/audit-log, which returns { entries, total }entries newest-first, server-clamped to the latest 500; total drives a "latest 500 of N" count so the clamp is never silent. Rendered as a filterable table (when / agent / action / target / outcome / detail); the filter box is a client-side substring match over the cached rows. The outcome badge colours ok green and err red, with an err whose detail starts denied: (a capability refusal) shown amber and labelled denied so it reads apart from an execution failure. ts_unix is an RFC 3339 string; a 30 s ticker keeps the relative "ago" column honest while the tab is in view. The backing audit_log store records every privileged-action attempt (ok / err / denied). New entries live-append without a refresh: an audit_entry_added event on /api/dashboard/stream (the flattened row) is prepended to the table and the "latest N of M" count bumped, de-duped by id against the cold fetch.

Container row

A full-height square agent icon (5em, capped) on the left. The icon is the selection toggle: click (or Enter/Space) adds/removes the agent from the selection set; aria-pressed reflects the state; the tooltip says "select … for bulk actions" or "deselect … (or press Esc to clear all)". The <img> points at <url>/icon; load failure falls back to the dimmed hyperhive mark (/favicon.svg). The card body sits to the right with three stacked lines (assets/swarm.js::renderContainers).

Icon layout + load strategy: the <img> is absolutely positioned (inset: 0) inside the .container-icon wrapper — the wrapper is the flex child and sizes itself via width: 5em + aspect-ratio: 1, the <img> is out of flow so its load state (pending, loaded, broken) can never contribute intrinsic size or reflow the row. Without that, the row would briefly grow as the image's natural dimensions arrived, then snap back on object-fit: contain. The load itself is fire-and-forget: the dashboard doesn't pre-check whether the agent is reachable, it just lets the <img> try and listens for an error event. On failure the handler swaps the src to /favicon.svg (served by the dashboard itself, always reachable) and adds the icon-unreachable class for the dimmed look. When the container is known stopped up front (ContainerView.running = false) the fallback fires immediately, skipping the doomed <url>/icon fetch entirely.

Line 1 — agent name (link → new tab), m1nd/ag3nt chip, an icon-only nav strip plus live agent-owned state, all populated async from a single GET /api/dashboard-state call to the agent's own backend. The response (DashboardState) carries: links (nav strip entries — 📊 stats, 🖥 screen when GUI is enabled, ⬡ forge profile, ↳ agent-configs mirror, plus any agent-declared dashboardLinks extras), status_text / status_set_at (agent self-reported status — the (set N ago) chip is stamped data-set-at and ticks every 30s to stay fresh across the long-lived keyed row cache), rate_limited, ctx_tokens / context_window_tokens (context-window badge data). The agent backend is the single source of truth for all of these. The dashboard resolves each AgentLink.kind against a per-agent base URL depending on whether hive-gateway is in front (StateSnapshot.gateway_enabled, sourced from the HIVE_GATEWAY_ENABLED env the c0re NixOS module sets when services.hyperhive.gateway.enable = true). Gateway-on (default): base URL is /agent/<name> (same origin, gateway proxies to the per-agent harness — TCP or unix-domain depending on the agent's HIVE_WEB_SOCKET opt-in, see docs/gateway.md::Per-agent unix-socket upstream). Gateway-off (legacy / local dev): base URL is http://<host>:<container.port> (direct TCP fallback). Forge links resolve against state.forge_public_url (sourced from services.hyperhive.forge.publicUrl) and are omitted entirely when that's unset — never guessed from <host>:3000. External links are already absolute. The same base URL drives the primary agent-name link + favicon fetch, so the whole row routes through the gateway as a unit.

When the container is stopped (ContainerView.running = false), the async dashboard-state fetch is skipped entirely (the agent web server is down), so the badge chain is replaced by a single badge, the nav strip is empty, and status text / rate-limited / ctx badges are suppressed. The agent icon goes straight to the dimmed /favicon.svg fallback instead of attempting a doomed load from the container's URL. Static fields — needs_update, deployed_sha, pending_reminders, parent, config link — remain visible regardless of run state.

Line 2 — status badges only (no per-card action buttons — actions moved to the selection bar or the per-agent menu, see below).

Status badges

Which single badge (hyperhive#3139): ContainerView.failed (systemd ActiveState=failed — the unit exhausted its bounded restarts and gave up on its own) draws a red ✖ gave up badge; otherwise a plain muted ■ not running — a container an operator stopped deliberately. Both states read running: false; failed is the orthogonal fact (a fifth one alongside paused/needs_update/ needs_login, same "independent flags, no state machine" shape — see ContainerView's own doc comment) that tells them apart. An older backend without the field serves failed: undefined, which reads falsy — degrades cleanly to the single not running badge.

When the container is running, status badges follow — ⊘ rate limited (red, while the harness is parked after a 429), needs login, needs update — plus one ◐ pending-state… pill per active transient (replaces buttons during operator-initiated start / stop / restart / rebuild / destroy). An agent can carry several transients at once — e.g. a lease-exempt prebuild running alongside a stop_for_update on the same agent — and each renders as its own independent badge rather than being collapsed into one label, matching the existing multi-badge convention this line already uses for paused/needs_update/model/ctx.

Any pending badge means the row is actually running something right now — there is no separate queued-but-not-started row state to visually distinguish it from (see Pending-badge derivation below), so every row carrying ≥1 badge keeps the amber row tint AND draws a rotating amber ring around the agent icon.

Pending-badge derivation: transients only (transientsState, keyed agent -> Map<kind, since_unix>) — a transient is derived from a job-queue node currently Running against that agent, not declared per request, so its label follows the operation as it progresses (a rebuild reads stop_for_update, then swap, then reconcile rather than one constant rebuilding for its whole life). Two consequences for anything rendering it:

  • The label vocabulary is open — it is the node's own wire tag (NodeKind::as_str, the same strings the graph wire's node labels carry), not a fixed set. Treat it as an opaque display string; do not switch on specific values. restarting in particular no longer exists, because no node kind is unique to a restart.
  • It is not exclusively operator-initiated, and not limited to rebuild-shaped work — running_transients() on the backend is a status-only test (any Running node whose payload names a non-empty agent lights a pill), so work the operator never clicked (a meta-update cascade, a crash-recover rebuild, a lease-exempt prebuild) lights the same mechanism.

Ops with no queue node behind them (destroy, migration) supply their own label directly via TransientSet/TransientCleared events carrying no backing node at all.

Queued (not-yet-started) work shows nothing on the card. Only running work gets a per-agent pending badge — by design, there is no fallback badge for work that's merely Pending in the queue, since the swarm view stays independent of job-queue internals. The queue- summary banner below is the only queued-work indicator on this tab, and it reads the narrow /api/jobq/rollup endpoint rather than the full graph.

Active model badge (model · <name>, blue) appears when the container is running and the harness has persisted a model name (harness/hyperhive-model). Read by hive-c0re's ContainerView (read_active_model); absent until the agent has completed at least one turn and stale values are suppressed for stopped containers.

ctx · Nk chip shows the agent's last-turn context size, populated from DashboardState.ctx_tokens (absent until the agent has completed at least one turn). The chip colour (green / yellow / red) is keyed off DashboardState.context_window_tokens (the real context window for the model the agent last ran on, authoritative from the agent side); the badge goes yellow ≥ 50% and red ≥ 75% of that window, matching the harness compaction watermarks. When the window value is absent the badge falls back to fixed 100k / 150k thresholds.

Per-agent overflow menu — a button appears on the right edge of each container row. Clicking it opens a small dropdown with per-agent actions and navigation links. Contents:

  • ↺ R3ST4RT (running agents only) / ■ ST0P (running only) / ▶ ST4RT (stopped only) — single-agent run-state toggles. Identical to the bulk actions on the selection bar but operate on one agent without requiring a selection click.
  • ↻ R3BU1LD — always available; queues a rebuild for this agent.
  • journal logs → — opens /logs.html#agent?agent=<name> so the operator lands directly in the AGENT log tab pre-filtered to this container, without having to pick an agent from the dropdown.
  • DESTR0Y / PURG3 — destructive, each prompts for confirmation via the themed dialog (see Themed dialogs below).
  • deployed:<sha> ↗ — present when the agent has a deployed_sha and the forge is reachable; links the deployed commit on the forge agent-configs mirror.

↻ UPD4TE 4LL button appears above the containers list when any agent is stale. Banner pulses on each broker SSE event (pulseBanner with a 4s grace timer).

Build-queue summary banner — when the job queue has any active work, a compact amber banner sits above the container list: ◐ build queue — N running · M queued — view queue → (the link goes to the BU1LDS page's R3BU1LD QU3U3). Reads GET /api/jobq/rollup (hive-jobq-wire::state_rollup, jobqRollupState in swarm.js) — Vec<{ state, nodes, roots }>, every lifecycle state present in a fixed order, zero counts included — rather than the full /api/jobq/graph tree: running sums the Running and Finishing entries' roots (Finishing = own work done, subtree still going, still in flight), queued reads the Pending entry's roots. roots specifically, not nodes — the banner means N whole operations, not raw steps (one rebuild is ~7 nodes but 1 root); nodes exists on the same endpoint for a consumer that wants step-level counts instead, unused here.

Themed dialogs

All confirmations, prompts, and transient error notices use an in-app themed dialog system (assets/modal.js) rather than the browser's native confirm() / prompt() / alert() chrome, so they match the Catppuccin palette and can't be styled away by the OS. Three primitives, all built on the openDialog core:

  • themedConfirm({ message, danger, confirmLabel, checkboxes }) — a modal confirm that resolves to null on cancel or an object of checkbox states on confirm. Destructive actions pass danger: true (the confirm button turns red and the cancel button takes focus). Backdrop click and Esc both cancel.
  • themedPrompt(...) — a modal with a text input, resolving to the entered string or null.
  • themedToast({ type, ... }) — a non-blocking toast (top-right, info / error / ok) for transient validation + action failures, so an error doesn't trap the operator behind a modal. Single-action errors auto-dismiss; bulk / partial-failure summaries are sticky (click to dismiss) so they aren't missed.

Every destructive run-state action (ST0P, R3ST4RT, R3BU1LD, DESTR0Y, PURG3, M0V3) routes through themedConfirm, on both the per-agent menu and the bulk selection bar.

Graceful stop — the ■ ST0P confirm dialog (per-agent and bulk) carries a stop gracefully — let the agent finish its turn and flush state before the container stops checkbox. When ticked, the action POSTs /api/kill/<name>?graceful=true (the bulk path appends the flag per-agent); unticked is the instant hard stop (/api/kill/<name> with no query). The backend enqueues a GracefulStop rebuild-queue transient: the harness runs one stop-checkpoint turn (so the agent can flush /state) and then exits, with a 3-minute timeout that falls back to a hard stop. The quiescing progress surfaces through the same rebuild-queue transient + build log the card already reads for a rebuild. (The hivectl --graceful CLI flag enqueues the same GracefulStop, so the dashboard and CLI paths behave identically.)

Topology tree

See SW4RM tab above for the parent/child derivation, sibling sort order, and cycle-safety rules (swarm.js::buildAgentTree walks ContainerView.parent) — this section covers only how the tree is drawn.

The per-row prefix column (.tree-prefix) is DOM-painted, not text-glyph-painted: each indent lane is its own positioned <span> so CSS can draw full-height vertical bars that bridge the gap between sibling rows. Plain text box-drawing characters (├─, └─, ) would only paint one text-line tall and leave visible breaks between the taller-than-one-line container cards, so the bars are drawn as CSS borders instead: a continuation bar runs the full height of an ancestor's still-open subtree, and the joint at a row's own depth is (more siblings below) or (last sibling — the line stops at the row's icon midline). Exact lane widths and positioning live in swarm.js's tree-prefix rendering and its paired CSS rules — not reproduced here since they're tuned in pixel units and will drift. When every container is at depth 0 (no parent set) these rules are all no-ops and the layout reads like a plain flat list.

Selection bar

Bulk actions (R3ST4RT / ST0P / ST4RT / R3BU1LD / DESTR0Y / PURG3) live here rather than as per-card buttons — see Container row above. Clicking an agent's icon toggles its selection (an in-memory Set<name>); Esc or the bar's ✕ clear button drops everything. The selection persists across tab switches in-memory — the bar just hides on non-SW4RM tabs since other tabs don't show the agent cards needed to cross-reference.

When one or more agents are selected (via icon click), a sticky frosted-mauve bar slides up from the bottom of the viewport (#selection-bar, position: fixed; bottom: 0). It shows:

  • Count + names — "N agents selected · name1, name2, …"
  • Bulk action buttons — only enabled when ALL selected agents support the action; disabled with a tooltip naming the blockers when the selection is mixed:
    • ↺ R3ST4RT — running agents only

    • ■ ST0P — running agents only

    • ▶ ST4RT — stopped agents only

    • ↻ R3BU1LD — always available

    • DESTR0Y / PURG3 — always available

    • ⇡ M0V3 → ROOT — promote selected agents to top-level (parent = null); disabled when all selected are already at root. Backend topology::set_parent refuses moves it can't satisfy (e.g. a move that would create a cycle) and the refusal surfaces in the failure roll-up.

    • ⇢ M0V3 → [select] — inline picker available for any selection size. The dropdown lists every container that isn't IN the selection itself nor a descendant of any selected agent (client-side BFS cycle prevention across the whole batch; the backend re-checks per-agent). On submit:

      • single agentPOST /api/topology/set-parent (form-encoded child=<name>&new_parent=<target>)
      • multiple agentsPOST /api/topology/set-parent-bulk (JSON [{ child, new_parent }]; all moves land in a single topology.json commit instead of one per agent)

      Both write topology.json and re-emit a container snapshot so the tree repaints without a page reload.

  • ✕ clear button + Esc key clear the entire selection.

Stale selections (agents destroyed while selected) are pruned on every render before the bar appears.

Approval card

Each pending approval renders as a card (assets/call.js:: renderApprovals) with three stacked sections:

  • identity header — glyph, #id, agent, kind chip, and a right-aligned requested <N> ago relative time from ApprovalView.requested_at. Glyph and chip vary by kind:

    kind glyph chip sha shown
    merge_config_pr merge-pr PR-head sha (sha_short)
    update_meta_inputs meta-update
    schedule_prompt schedule
    init_config init
    spawn spawn

    The chip ticks live every second via a data-requested-at attribute + client-side interval (no re-render). Turns amber once the request has been pending ≥ 1h so a stale approval stands out; the .stale class flips precisely at the 3600s boundary rather than at the next renderApprovals call.

  • what-changed body — the submitting agent's description, then kind-specific drill-in triggers:

    • merge_config_pr: ↳ review PR on forge ↗ deep-links the config PR into agent-configs/<agent>/pulls/<pr_number> (shown only when forge_present and pr_number is set). The config diff lives on the forge PR itself — no inline diff side-panel.
    • init_config / spawn: a one-line "container will be created" note instead.
  • decision actions◆ APPR0VE and DENY. Deny pops a prompt() for an optional reason carried to the submitting agent as HelperEvent::ApprovalResolved.note.

A pending · N / history · N tab pair switches the section between the live queue and the last 30 resolved approvals.

Browser notifications

Pure frontend (Notification API). Three signals trigger them:

  • new pending approval (per id, delta on /api/state)
  • new pending operator question (per id)
  • new broker message sent to: "operator" (live via SSE)

The toggle controls live in the S3TT1NGS tab (#settings); see that section above for the user-facing shape. Dispatch logic lives in common.js::NOTIF.

First /api/state after page load seeds "seen" sets without firing — only items that arrive while the page is open count. Per-event tags (hyperhive:approval:<id>, hyperhive:question:<id>, hyperhive:msg:<at>:<rand>) so distinct events stack in the OS notification center instead of overwriting each other. console.debug logs at every block point (unsupported, permission ungranted, muted) for in-browser debugging. Click focuses the dashboard tab. The localStorage key hyperhive.notify.muted ("1" = muted, absent = unmuted) backs the toggle and silences dispatch without revoking the OS permission. Requires a secure context (HTTPS or localhost); on other origins the controls hide themselves. Browsers typically suppress notifications while the originating tab is focused — that's a browser-level decision, not ours.

Dashboard endpoints

Also browsable interactively at /api/docs (a Swagger UI, linked from the H0M3 hub's API tile), with the raw spec at /api/openapi.json. It's a growing supplement, not yet a full replacement for the list below — some endpoints aren't in it yet.

  • POST /api/approve/{id} — approve a pending approval. Fires ApprovalResolved on the dashboard event channel; client updates derived approvals state from the event.

  • POST /api/deny/{id} (note=<reason>, optional) — deny a pending approval with an optional operator-supplied reason. The reason travels to the submitting agent as HelperEvent::ApprovalResolved.note and also rides on the dashboard's ApprovalResolved event. Dashboard prompts via the themed themedPrompt() dialog on click — a resizable <textarea> where Enter submits and Shift+Enter inserts a newline (so multi-sentence rejection notes are possible).

  • POST /api/{rebuild,kill,restart,start,destroy}/{name} — lifecycle. destroy accepts purge=on to also wipe state dirs.

  • POST /api/purge-tombstone/{name} — wipe a tombstone's state dirs.

  • POST /api/answer-question/{id} — answer a pending operator question.

  • POST /api/cancel-question/{id} — cancel a pending question with the sentinel [cancelled]. Same code path as a real answer.

  • POST /api/request-spawn — queue a Spawn approval.

  • POST /api/update-all — rebuild every stale container.

  • POST /api/rebuild-queue/{id}/cancel — drop a Queued entry. Refuses Running / terminal-state entries (in-flight rebuilds can't be safely interrupted). Always 200; body is {"cancelled": true} on a successful flip or {"cancelled": false} when the entry was not in Queued state.

  • POST /api/agent/{name}/mark-all-read — ack all pending broker messages for {name}. Backfills delivered_at for rows not yet delivered and sets acked_at = now. Returns { "marked": N }. Agent name validated against [a-z0-9_-], 1-63 chars; 400 on bad input.

  • GET /api/operator-inbox — list unread messages addressed to to="operator" (broker rows with acked_at = NULL). Cold-loaded for the Y3R C4LL tab's ◆ 1NB0X ◆ section on page load + tab activation; live updates fed from the broker sent stream. Returns { messages: [{ id, from, body, at, in_reply_to, file_refs }, …] }, newest-first. Reuses /api/agent/operator/mark-all-read to ack (filters are identical so every listed row is exactly what mark-read clears).

  • POST /api/op-send (to=<name>, body=<text>) — drop an operator-authored message into <name>'s inbox. to=* fans out to every registered agent. Returns 200; the broker Sent event re-renders the message-flow terminal without a snapshot refetch. Used by the compose textbox under MESS4GE FL0W.

  • GET /api/build-logs/{agent}?limit=N — most-recent build log headers for one agent, newest first. Returns Vec<BuildLogHeader> (JSON): id, agent, kind, cmdline, started_at, finished_at, status ("ok" / "fail" / null while in-progress). limit defaults to 10, server-side cap at 50. Agent name validated ([a-z0-9_-], 1-63 chars).

  • GET /api/build-logs/id/{id} — full build log by id. Returns BuildLogFull (JSON): all header fields plus stdout and stderr as plain text (newline-terminated lines, utf-8). HTTP 404 when the row is missing (vacuum-reaped or stale id).

  • GET /api/build-logs/id/{id}/stream — live SSE stream of stdout+stderr for an in-progress build (newline-delimited JSON frames). Used by the expanding live-row view in BU1LDS. The stream closes when the build finishes or errors.

  • GET /api/build-logs/id/{id}/raw — raw concatenated stdout+stderr as text/plain. Used by the ↓ raw / ↓ download raw links in BU1LDS. Works on both finished and in-progress build logs.

  • GET /api/journal/{name}?unit=&lines= — journalctl viewer for a managed container; rendered in the side panel.

  • GET /api/audit-log — agent-initiated privileged-action audit trail. Returns { entries, total }: entries is a Vec<AuditEntry> (id, ts_unix as RFC 3339, agent, action, target, outcome "ok"/"err", detail nullable), newest first, server-clamped to 500; total is the full row count for a "latest 500 of N" header. Backs the LOGS page AUDIT sub-tab.

  • GET /static/marked.js serves the vendored marked bundle used for markdown previews.

  • GET /api/state-file?path=<host-or-container-path> — bounded text read of a file under the per-agent state/ subtree or the shared /var/lib/hyperhive/shared/. Accepts the container-view forms (/agents/<n>/state/..., /shared/...) and the host form. Canonicalises + verifies the path stays inside the allow-list, refuses anything but a regular file, refuses /agents/<n>/claude / config subtrees, truncates bodies at 1 MiB. Click-time backing for the inline path-link preview.

    Detection of which tokens are path links is done server-side at broker-message ingest, not client-side: the broker forwarder calls scan_validated_paths(body) — same allow-list helper the read endpoint uses — and attaches the verified file tokens to the event as file_refs: Vec<String>. The client trusts that list and linkifies only those tokens, so directories, missing files, and forbidden subtrees never become anchors. No probe endpoint, no client-side regex heuristics. Historical messages get the same treatment on /api/dashboard/history backfill.

  • GET /api/reminders — list pending reminders for the dashboard's queued-reminders panel.

  • GET /api/stats-hive?window=<1h|4h|24h|3d|7d|30d|all> — hive-wide turn-stats rollup for the ST4TS tab. Aggregates every agent's hyperhive-turn-stats.sqlite read-only (skips missing / unreadable / zero-turn dbs); returns swarm totals, a busiest-first per-agent rollup, swarm model mix, and a labelled est_cost_usd. Window defaults to 24h.

  • GET /api/container-resources — live per-agent-container CPU + memory from cgroup v2 (C0R3 C0NT41N3R L04D panel). Returns one row per running agent (name, cpu_pct, mem_current_bytes, mem_peak_bytes, mem_max_bytes, disk_bytes); samples CPU over ~200 ms so the call briefly awaits. Skips non-running agents (no scope dir). No network field — agents share the host netns. disk_bytes is the last value from a separate slow sampler (not this hot path): a background du -sxb of the agent's state dir + container writable rootfs every ~5 min, -x excluding the shared read-only nix store. null until the first sample lands.

  • POST /api/infra-container/{name}/{action} — start / stop / restart a hive infra service (C0R3 1NFR4 panel). name parses into the InfraContainer allowlist (hive-ci/hive-forge/hive-gateway/ hive-matrix, 400 on unknown), and the variant decides the unit — container@<name>.service, or nginx.service for the gateway. actionstart|stop|restart. Calls the same priv_client::control_infra_container helper the infra_admin agent path uses; records an audit_log entry (start_infra/stop_infra/restart_infra, actor "operator") either way.

  • POST /api/cancel-reminder/{id} — hard-delete a pending reminder.

  • POST /api/retry-reminder/{id} — re-arm a reminder whose delivery failed (clears the failure state so the scheduler retries).

  • GET /api/tool-groups — returns { groups: Vec<String>, assignments: BTreeMap<String, Vec<String>>, descriptions: BTreeMap<String, String> }. groups is the ordered list of all known tool-group names (drives the column headers in the P3RM1SS10NS tab); assignments is the per-agent override map (absent agents use the role default); descriptions maps each group name to a short human-readable string surfaced as a column-header tooltip on hover.

  • POST /api/tool-groups/{agent} — body { groups: ["name", …] }. Writes the tool-group set for {agent} to /var/lib/hyperhive/meta/tool-groups.json and queues a rebuild so HIVE_TOOL_GROUPS takes effect. Agent name validated; guard_agent_name applied.

  • GET /api/capabilities — returns { caps: Vec<String>, assignments: BTreeMap<String, Vec<String>>, descriptions: BTreeMap<String, String> }. caps is the ordered list of all known capability names; assignments is the per-agent grant map (absent agents have no extra capabilities); descriptions maps each capability name to a short human-readable string surfaced as a column-header tooltip on hover.

  • POST /api/capabilities/{agent} — body { caps: ["name", …] }. Writes the capability set for {agent} to /var/lib/hyperhive/meta/capabilities.json and queues a rebuild so HIVE_CAPABILITIES takes effect. Agent name validated; unknown capability strings are rejected (400). guard_agent_name applied.

  • POST /api/permissions — batch perm apply for the save-all permissions button. Body { changes: [{ agent, tool_groups?: ["name", …], capabilities?: ["name", …] }] }. Sparse per agent: an omitted field leaves that perm-type untouched, an empty array clears it, a populated array fully replaces it (same replace semantics as the per-agent endpoints above). Each affected agent gets ONE combined PermChange queue entry, so changing both an agent's tool-groups and capabilities triggers a single rebuild, not two. Atomic: every change is validated first (agent names via guard_agent_name, group + capability names) and on any validation error nothing is written or enqueued (non-2xx { error }); rows with both fields omitted are skipped, not errors. Returns 200 "ok" on success.

  • GET /api/schedules — list all schedules (active and recently cancelled) for the SCH3DUL3S scheduled-prompts panel.

  • POST /api/schedules — operator-direct schedule create: { targets, body, first_fire_at_unix, interval_seconds?, description? }. Agent-initiated schedules go through the approval queue instead (via the request_schedule_prompt MCP tool).

  • PATCH /api/schedules/{id} — partial edit. JSON body { body?, description?, interval_seconds?, next_fire_at_unix?, targets_add?, targets_remove? }. Missing key = "leave alone"; explicit null on description / interval_seconds clears the field (so a recurring schedule flips to one-shot when interval_seconds is sent as null). targets_add is replace-on-conflict: re-adding a previously-cancelled target drops the tombstone and the target starts fresh (operator intent on re-add = "this target is active again"). targets_remove delegates to the same path as cancel_targets — tombstones preserve audit, parent schedule auto-cancels when no active targets remain. Refuses cancelled rows; returns the updated WireSchedule on success.

  • POST /api/schedules/{id}/cancel — cancel a schedule. Body { targets?: ["name", …] } cancels just those recipients; absent or empty body cancels the whole schedule.

  • POST /api/schedules/{id}/fire-now — out-of-band manual pulse. Fires the schedule body once immediately to every active target. Recurring schedules: next_fire_at_unix is untouched; the regular cadence continues. One-shots: the schedule is consumed (cancelled) after the manual fan-out. Per-target last_result is annotated as a manual fire so the audit trail distinguishes scheduled fires from operator- triggered ones.

  • POST /api/schedules/{id}/pause — pause a recurring or one-shot schedule. A paused schedule does not fire regardless of next_fire_at; the row gains a ⏸ paused badge.

  • POST /api/schedules/{id}/resume — resume a paused schedule. Clears the pause flag without adjusting next_fire_at.

  • POST /api/meta-updatenix flake update the selected meta/flake.lock inputs, then rebuild the affected agents.

  • GET /api/dashboard/stream — unified live event channel: broker sent / delivered, plus the mutation events listed below. Each frame carries seq.

  • GET /api/dashboard/history — last ~200 broker messages (wrapped as { seq, events }) for the message-flow terminal's backfill on page load.

Dashboard event channel

Wire vocabulary on /api/dashboard/stream (kind tag is in the JSON payload):

  • sent / delivered — broker traffic, mirrored from the intra-process channel by a forwarder task. Both carry id: i64 (the broker row id) and in_reply_to: Option<i64> for thread rendering. The dashboard message-flow terminal renders reply rows with a ↳ reply tag that scroll-highlights the parent row on click. Used by the message-flow terminal renderer and the operator-inbox derived state.
  • approval_added (id, agent, approval_kind, sha_short, diff, description) / approval_resolved (id, agent, approval_kind, sha_short, status, resolved_at, note, description) — pending queue + history mutations. Client mutates a derived store and re-renders only the approvals section.
  • question_added (id, asker, question, options, multi, asked_at, deadline_at, target) / question_resolved (id, answer, answerer, answered_at, cancelled, target) — both operator-targeted and peer (agent-to-agent) threads fire these. The dashboard's questions pane surfaces both, with filter chips (all / @operator / @peer / per-participant) and an 0V3RR1D3 button on peer rows so the operator can answer when an agent is stuck. The ttl watchdog fires question_resolved with answerer = "ttl-watchdog" on expiry.
  • transient_set (name, transient_kind, since_unix) / transient_cleared (name) — lifecycle action spinners. The client ticks the elapsed-seconds badge off since_unix client-side, no polling. transient_kind is an open display string (the running node's own tag), not a fixed enum — render it, don't branch on it.
  • container_state_changed (container: ContainerView) / container_removed (name) — per-row container mutations, emitted by Coordinator::rescan_containers_and_emit from every mutation site (actions::approve post-spawn, actions::destroy, the lifecycle_action wrapper, auto_update::rebuild_agent) and from the 10s crash_watch poll. Client upserts/removes by name; the pending overlay is read from transientsState since the payload doesn't carry it.
  • rebuild_queue_changed (seq) — payload-free trigger, fired on every queue mutation (enqueue, state transition, dedup collapse, terminal-history trim). Unlike the snapshot events below it ships no state at all: the client re-fetches GET /api/jobq/graph, which is where it reads the queue from cold too. There is no /api/state.rebuild_queue — it went with the typed projection.
  • schedules_changed (seq, schedules: Vec<WireSchedule>) — full snapshot of all scheduled prompts. Emitted after every operator mutation via the /api/schedules surface (new / edit / cancel / fire-now) and after the worker fires or rearms a row. Same snapshot-shape rationale as tombstones_changed / meta_inputs_changed (small list, no add/remove races). The SCH3DUL3S tab subscribes and re-renders schedulesState on receipt; tab activation still re-fetches as a safety net for approval-path inserts and disconnect windows.
  • reminders_changed (seq, reminders: Vec<PendingReminder>) — full snapshot of all pending reminders. Emitted after every reminder mutation: agent remind calls (agent_server), operator cancel / retry (/api/system/reminders/*), cancel_loose_end with Reminder kind, and the scheduler tick after each delivery batch (reminder_scheduler). The SCH3DUL3S tab's reminders section subscribes and calls renderReminders on receipt, so the list updates live without polling.
  • capabilities_changed (seq, caps: Vec<str>, descriptions: map, assignments: BTreeMap<String, Vec<String>>) — full snapshot of capability grants. Emitted from the rebuild-queue worker after a PermChange / Capabilities entry commits the JSON file. Payload matches GET /api/capabilities shape so renderCapabilities can be called directly. P3RM1SS10NS tab subscribes; activation re-fetch still runs as a safety net.
  • tool_groups_changed (seq, groups: Vec<str>, descriptions: map, assignments: BTreeMap<String, Vec<String>>) — full snapshot of tool-group assignments. Emitted from the rebuild-queue worker after a PermChange / ToolGroups entry commits the JSON file. Same shape as GET /api/tool-groups; P3RM1SS10NS tab subscribes.
  • tombstones_changed (seq, tombstones: Vec<TombstoneView>) — full snapshot of destroyed-but-state-kept agents. Emitted on destroy, purge, and revive. C0R3 K3PT ST4T3 tab subscribes.
  • meta_inputs_changed (seq, inputs: Vec<MetaInput>) — full snapshot of meta/flake.lock inputs. BU1LDS M3T4 1NPUTS tab subscribes; same shape as GET /api/meta-inputs.
  • meta_update_running (running: bool) — emitted when a nix flake update ripple starts or completes. BU1LDS M3T4 1NPUTS tab uses this to show/hide the " meta-update running" banner.
  • audit_entry_added (flattened AuditEntry fields: id, ts_unix, agent, action, target, outcome, detail) — a single new audit-log row. L0GS AUDIT sub-tab live-prepends the row and bumps the "latest N of M" count, de-duped by id against the cold fetch.

/api/state is only fetched on cold-load and on the few forms that mutate non-event-derived state (PURG3 + meta-update, since tombstones + meta_inputs aren't event- shaped yet). Every other section — approvals, questions, transients, containers, operator inbox, message flow — derives from /api/dashboard/stream after the initial snapshot, maintaining its own client-side store and applying events on top. The 5s periodic poll is gone.

Generalised form helpers: form[data-confirm="…"] pops confirm() before submit; form[data-prompt="…"] pops prompt() and stashes the answer in a hidden input named by data-prompt-field (default note).
