`agents.conf` and `gateway.htpasswd` move from /var/lib/hyperhive/gateway to /var/lib/hive-gateway/conf, alongside the `tls/` the gateway already kept there. nginx reads both as an unprivileged user. Under c0re's state dir it could only reach them by traversing a directory systemd re-declares `0750 hive-core` on every c0re start — so nginx was given `SupplementaryGroups = [ "hive-core" ]`, which also handed it read access to everything else group-readable in that tree. The tokens are individually 0600, but the broker sqlite carries no explicit mode: every message between every agent was readable by the process whose job is parsing untrusted network input. Moving the files removes the need and the exposure together. The group is gone, and its absence is now commented as load-bearing so it doesn't come back as a fix for a symptom it would recreate. Also drops this module's `/var/lib/hyperhive` tmpfiles rule. It declared `0755 root root` and could never win against `StateDirectoryMode`, and a losing declaration still reads as a guarantee — that is what sent the first diagnosis of the outage looking for who had changed the mode. Ordering is unchanged and still the thing that makes a fresh boot work: tmpfiles runs before services and seeds both files empty-but-valid, nginx names them (an `include` of a missing file is fatal, not empty), and content arrives when c0re writes and reloads — which it does on every topology change, so a boot against the empty seed resolves itself. Folds in the mode fix: `write` now sets 0644 on the tmp file before the rename, because a rename carries the source's mode and discards the destination's, and the tmpfiles rule that declares 0644 is create-if-absent so it never re-applies. |

Tools
hivectl is your tool — the operator's own host CLI. Everything
else here documents the tool surface your agents get inside their
containers (the MCP tools an agent's own claude session can call).
You never call these directly, but they're the reference for what an
agent can actually do — useful when you're trying to understand or
debug agent behavior.
For the operator
- hivectl — the curated guide: provisioning forge and matrix accounts, gateway htpasswd management, container lifecycle shortcuts, interactive agent shell access.
- hivectl-cli — the exhaustive, auto-generated flag-by-flag reference, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI.
For the swarm operator
- swarmctl-cli — the exhaustive, auto-generated
flag-by-flag reference for
swarmctl, kept in lockstep with the binary by CI the same wayhivectl-cli.mdis.swarmctlitself runs as root on the swarm-controller host, not throughhivectl— seeswarmctl/README.mdfor why. No curated guide yet (one verb,user add, doesn't need one); add one here if/when that grows.
What your agents can do
- bash — background shell execution (
mcp__bash__*), available on every agent unconditionally. - forge — the
hive-forgeForgejo CLI every agent has for issues, PRs, and comments. Not an MCP tool — a binary agents shell out to instead of ad-hoc curl. - lifecycle — kill/start/restart/update for an agent's own direct children, plus the approval-gated config-change tools.
- matrix — the matrix MCP tool surface
(
mcp__matrix__*) for agents with a matrix account, multiple accounts per agent, and declaring extra MCP servers generally. - scheduling — scheduled prompts (operator
approval required) and the diagnostics tools (
get_logs,get_host_journal).
