iris a2c5348ca4 dashboard: rename src/app.js → src/tabs.js (closes #406)
#406 was the JS-split refactor: pull shared helpers into
common.js (step 1), pull the flow-only IIFEs into flow.js
(step 2), then rename the legacy combined entry from app.js
to tabs.js (step 3 — this commit) to reflect that the bundle
now owns the dashboard tabs surface only.

What moved:
- `frontend/packages/dashboard/src/app.js` → `tabs.js`
- `build.mjs` entry: `src('app.js')` → `src('tabs.js')`;
  output is now `static/tabs.js`
- `index.html` `<script>` src: `/static/app.js` →
  `/static/tabs.js`; the FL0W-section comment retouched
- `flow.html` reference from `/static/app.js`-as-tabs to
  `/static/tabs.js`; notif + offscreen-inbox comments rewired
  to point at the correct owners (common.js for NOTIF,
  flow.js for renderInbox)
- `common.js`, `flow.js`, `tabs.js` headers: scrub stale
  "app.js" references; document that #406 steps 2 + 3 are
  done and both pages import directly from common.js
- `dashboard.css` comments: every "by app.js" → "by tabs.js"
- `docs/web-ui.md`, `docs/conventions.md`: legacy
  `assets/app.js` → `assets/tabs.js` (the path prefix is
  itself stale from a much-earlier rename, but consistent
  with the rest of those docs)
- `CLAUDE.md` file map: refresh the dashboard package's
  src/ and dist/ layouts to reflect the post-split shape
  (tabs.js, flow.js, common.js, stream-worker.js)

What did NOT move:
- `frontend/packages/agent/src/app.js` (per-agent UI entry)
  stays named `app.js` — it's a separate package, has only
  one entry point, no split happened there
- The two "no-op when target absent" guards in renderContainers
  and renderQuestions are kept as belt-and-suspenders for any
  future page that adds tabs.js without the corresponding
  sections; comments updated to note this rather than the
  pre-split flow.html reason

Functional behaviour identical; this is a pure rename + comment
sweep.

Conventions

Code-style and process expectations across the workspace. Most of these exist because something already went wrong without them.

Naming

  • Containers are length-bounded by nixos-container (≤ 11 chars).
  • Sub-agents are h-<name> with <name> ≤ 9 chars.
  • The manager is hm1nd (no h- prefix, fixed name).
  • MAX_AGENT_NAME in lifecycle.rs enforces the cap.
  • Per-agent web UI port = WEB_PORT_BASE + FNV1a(name) % WEB_PORT_RANGE (8100..8999); manager fixed at 8000; dashboard cfg.dashboardPort (default 7000).

Identity = socket

There are no auth tokens on the per-agent unix sockets. The socket path identifies the principal; perms come from "who has the bind-mount." A sub-agent only sees its own /run/hive/mcp.sock; the manager has access to its privileged socket; hive-c0re owns the host admin socket.

Wire protocol

JSON line-delimited over unix sockets in both directions (host admin / manager / agent). SSE streams (/dashboard/stream on hive-c0re, /events/stream on the per-agent web UIs) are text/event-stream; each frame carries a seq field for the snapshot-dedupe dance (see docs/web-ui.md). Request/response types live in hive-sh4re — change them in one place. The dashboard event vocabulary lives in hive-c0re::dashboard_events::DashboardEvent.

Async forms

Dashboard + per-agent mutating forms carry data-async; a delegated submit listener in assets/tabs.js intercepts, shows a spinner, POSTs application/x-www-form-urlencoded (axum's Form extractor rejects multipart), calls refreshState() on success. New mutating forms should add data-async and optionally data-confirm (for a JS-side confirm() prompt) or data-prompt="…" (for a window.prompt() whose answer goes into a hidden input named by data-prompt-field, default note).

refreshState defers automatically when document.activeElement sits inside a managed section so the operator's typing isn't lost; collapsible <details data-restore-key=…> survive the re-render via snapshotOpenDetails / restoreOpenDetails.

rebuild is the reconcile verb

lifecycle::rebuild idempotently rewrites /etc/nixos-containers/<C>.conf (PRIVATE_NETWORK=0, clears HOST_ADDRESS / LOCAL_ADDRESS, sets EXTRA_NSPAWN_FLAGS), regenerates applied/<name>/flake.nix, writes the systemd limits drop-in, then nixos-container update + stop + start.

Anything that changes per-container state on the host should be re-applied here so a manual ↻ R3BU1LD from the dashboard is sufficient to recover.

Actions are factored

approve / deny / destroy (and the lifecycle helper) live in actions.rs / dashboard.rs. The admin socket and the dashboard POST handlers both call into them so the two surfaces never drift.

Commit messages

Short, lowercase, no Co-Authored-By trailer. Imperative mood, no period. Body explains why if non-obvious; otherwise the subject alone is fine. Wrap at ~72 cols.

Commit before test

Stage and commit when work looks ready, then run validation (cargo check, nix flake check, real deploy). Failures get a follow-up commit rather than an amend. The commit history is the work log; rewriting it loses signal.
