atlas b88a5b2430 remove the list_containers and request_update_meta_inputs MCP tools
Both agent-facing tools go away end to end, with no replacement. This is
an intentional capability removal: agents can no longer enumerate their
own subtree, and can no longer queue a meta-flake input bump.

The system prompt and docs/tools/lifecycle.md land in this same commit
on purpose. A tool named in the prompt but absent from the server makes
agents confidently call something that doesn't exist, and the failure
then surfaces far from its cause.

Removed:

- MCP registrations and bodies (hive-agent-mcp), plus the now-unused
  UpdateMetaInputsArgs.
- Wire variants Request::ListDescendants,
  Request::RequestUpdateMetaInputs and Response::Containers, plus
  ContainerInfo, whose only consumer was that response.
- hive-c0re's handle_list_descendants (its whole module) and
  handle_request_update_meta_inputs, the two dispatch arms, and the
  require_group(agent, "approvals", ...) gate on the meta-inputs verb.
- The stream_enrich emoji entry and argument formatter.
- docs/tools/lifecycle.md (both tools it documented are gone), its two
  referrers, the tool-group tables and the agent-hierarchy prose.

Tool groups are kept, deliberately. ToolGroup::Lifecycle listed exactly
one tool and now lists none — it is vestigial, but the variant stays so
existing meta/capabilities.json grants still parse; retiring it is a
separate decision. ToolGroup::Approvals also listed exactly one tool,
but the group is NOT dead: check_can_cancel_approval still gates
cancel_loose_end's approval-cancel arm on it server-side.

ApprovalKind::UpdateMetaInputs stays too. Nothing in production code
produces it any more, but pre-existing approval rows may still carry it,
and the operator's own path to a meta update is unaffected — the
dashboard's POST /api/meta-update inserts the meta_update job directly,
bypassing approvals entirely.

The two format_ack tests in hive-agent-mcp that named
request_update_meta_inputs were only using it as a label string while
exercising the generic OkWarn/Ok renderer, so they are retargeted to a
surviving tool rather than deleted.

Note hive-c0re's priv_client::list_containers is a different thing (the
host-side privileged container listing behind hive-priv) and is
untouched.

hive-c0re

The unprivileged host daemon (runs as hive-core). Owns the sqlite broker, the approval/reminder/schedule queues, the generic job-DAG queue, container lifecycle, gateway/forge/matrix provisioning, per-container stats, and the axum operator dashboard. Largest crate in the workspace — bin-only, no separate lib.

When to use it

Host-level, cross-container orchestration: spawning/rebuilding/ destroying agent containers, the approval flow, dashboard-visible state, provisioning per-agent forge/matrix/gateway accounts. Agent-side behavior (turn loop, MCP tools) lives in hive-agent/hive-agent-mcp instead — this daemon only talks to agents over the socket wire types in hive-sh4re.

Shape

Cohesive clusters live in directory submodules, each re-exported at the crate root (crate::broker::… keeps resolving regardless of which subdirectory a module actually lives in). One line each — read the module's own //! doc-comment for real detail, don't expect this file to track it:

  • dashboard/ — the operator dashboard (containers, approvals, schedules, logs, topology).
  • job_queue/ — the job-DAG queue + desired-state reconciliation (docs/scheduler/coordinator.md).
  • lifecycle/nixos-container lifecycle + per-agent config flake generation.
  • stores/ — sqlite-backed stores (broker, queues, audit, power).
  • workers/ — background sweeps (crash watch, scheduled prompts, auto-update, knowledge sync).
  • agent_config/ — per-agent registries (tool groups, capabilities, resource limits, topology).
  • stats/ — dashboard metrics aggregation + OTEL export.
  • socket_server/ — the unix-socket request server shared by per-agent + manager sockets.
  • forge/ — optional Forgejo wiring (docs/integrations/forge.md).
  • coordinator.rs — top-level wiring for serve.
  • meta.rs, migrate.rs — the meta flake + schema/state migrations.
  • matrix.rs, gateway_nginx.rs, webhook_secret.rs, priv_client.rs — matrix provisioning, gateway vhosts, webhook secrets, and the hive-priv client respectively.
