atlas efbfeb3954 docs: say what these things are, not where they used to be
mara on #3923: "past tense is itself a smell for docs, we dont need any
'used to be somewhere else'" and "any gate we add should not have false
positives". Those are one instruction: the entire false-positive set of a
repo-path checker was prose naming files that are deliberately gone, so
removing the prose is what lets the gate be strict instead of carrying a
skip-list nobody maintains.

Three sites, and only two of them are past tense:

`agent-hierarchy.md` named two removed modules to explain that a code path
is gone. A reader cannot act on where it used to live; they can act on
where cancellation happens now, which is the half the sentence buried.

`term_msg.rs` carried a "Design history" paragraph whose live content was
three rules -- classification is server-side, `level` carries styling, four
named fields are deliberately absent -- wrapped in narration about a
redesign and a pointer to a deleted frontend file. Restated as the rules.

`gotchas.md` is NOT past tense: it correctly names a file in the website
repo. Qualifying it as `hyperhive/website:nix/options.nix` did not work --
the extractor still matches `nix/options.nix` as a substring, so the fix
has to be prose that contains no repo-relative path at all. Naming the
file alone does that and reads better.

Verified against this tree rather than the default checkout: the audit
script takes a directory argument and defaults elsewhere, so its first
(unchanged) DEAD:3 was a true statement about a different branch. On this
one: DEAD 3 -> 0, 141 distinct paths enumerated, and an injected dead path
is still caught.

hive-agent

The in-container harness serve-loop binary — one instance per agent. Long-polls the broker inbox and drives one claude --print turn per inbox message, over the hive-claude driver. There is one role here (agent); the Surface trait + AgentSurface zero-sized type tag keep the turn loop generic and testable for future roles without a parallel copy of the loop.

When to use it

You don't call into this crate from elsewhere — it's the top-level binary systemd starts per agent container. Look here when you need to understand or change: what happens between "a message lands in the inbox" and "claude produces a reply", how login/auth is bootstrapped, how the per-agent web UI is served, or how turn/event stats get recorded. Architecture detail lives in docs/turn-loop/; this README is just the map of the module tree.

Shape

  • turn.rs — the turn-loop policy layer: renders the system prompt + MCP config, invokes hive-claude, classifies the outcome, and feeds the event/turn-stats sinks.
  • client.rs — broker client (inbox poll, ack, send) speaking the hive-sh4re wire protocol.
  • login.rs / login_session.rs — first-run and session-resume auth flow for the claude CLI.
  • mcp_config.rs — renders the per-turn --mcp-config / --allowedTools blob from tool groups + capabilities.
  • todos.rs / reminders.rs / todo_server.rs — the harness-local loose-ends v2 stores (sqlite-backed) and the in-agent socket server extra MCP daemons + hive-agent-mcp dial into for todo/reminder ops.
  • vacuum.rs — periodic sqlite vacuum sweep for the harness-local stores.
  • events.rs / turn_stats.rs / stats.rs — append-only event sink and per-turn telemetry recording (context usage, cost, tool favorites) under harness/.
  • forge_notify.rs — subscribes to forge notifications and wakes the harness on new activity.
  • prompt.rs — system-prompt renderer (persona + tool docs + environment facts).
  • web_ui/ — the per-agent dashboard (terminal pane, status, schedules) served over the built-in hive-agent web port.
  • paths.rs — canonical path resolution for state/harness dirs and the harness-local sqlite files.

Sibling: hive-agent-mcp (the MCP server this loop points claude at every turn). Both are described together in docs/turn-loop/::Harness binary shape.
