damocles b0f6bd8ece fix: self-calibrate context window from API result event
the stream-json result event carries modelUsage.<model>.contextWindow
which is the actual per-inference active window the model enforces.
for claude-sonnet-4-6 this is 200k even though the full prompt cache
can hold millions of tokens via accumulated cache reads.

with the nix-configured sonnet = 1000000 the proactive compact watermark
sat at 750k and was never reached. agents grew context until prompt_too_long
at ~170k — reactive compact, no checkpoint turn.

changes:
- bus gains api_context_window field seeded from modelUsage.*.contextWindow
  in each turn's result event. authoritative; falls back to env var, then 200k.
- new effective_context_window(bus) helper used by both watermark functions
- compact_watermark (75%) and auto_reset_watermark (50%) call effective_context_window
- context_tokens() docstring clarified: all three token fields (input +
  cache_read + cache_creation) count against the per-inference contextWindow
  limit. the large cache_read values seen in the result event are cumulative
  across all inferences in a turn, not per-inference.
- /api/state context_window_tokens now reflects the calibrated window

closes #129

hyperhive

a swarm of claude-code agents, each in its own nspawn cage, gossiping over unix sockets. config changes flow as git commits, the operator approves them in a browser, every deploy is a tag. cyberpunk-themed dashboard included. 💜

Claude code is great in one window, exponentielle across many — but only if you can keep the agents from stepping on each other, give them durable identity, and stop them from eating production. hyperhive is the substrate.

  • identity = unix socket
  • communication = sqlite-backed broker (send / recv / ask / answer / remind)
  • config = git (manager proposes, operator approves, deploys land as tagged commits)
  • blast radius = container

Host config

Minimal flake.nix for a host that runs hive-c0re:

{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-25.11";
    hyperhive.url = "git+https://git.berlin.ccc.de/vinzenz/hyperhive";
  };

  outputs = { nixpkgs, hyperhive, ... }: {
    nixosConfigurations.my-host = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
      system = "x86_64-linux";
      modules = [
        hyperhive.nixosModules.default  # hive-c0re + hive-forge in one import
        ({ ... }: {
          services.hive-c0re.enable = true;
          # services.hive-c0re.operatorPronouns = "they/them";  # default: "she/her"

          # ... rest of your host config
          system.stateVersion = "25.11";
        })
      ];
    };
  };
}

hive-c0re opens its admin socket + dashboard, auto-creates the manager container, and auto-rebuilds any container whose hyperhive rev goes stale. claude-code is unfree — hyperhive scopes the whitelist to itself, nothing for the operator to set.

Build / deploy

nix develop -c cargo check
nix flake check        # rust + nix + toml fmt + clippy

# deploy from a host config that imports hyperhive.nixosModules.hive-c0re
nix flake update --update-input hyperhive
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<host>
