atlas b8af1525ff feat(otel): options for a host-side collector, off by default
Adds services.hyperhive.otel.collector.{enable,port}. No implementation
yet - this commit only declares the surface, so the option docs and the
default-off invariant can be reviewed on their own.

The reason the collector exists is the credential: without it every agent
needs headersCredential to reach the upstream, and the harness delivers
that token into the agent's own settings.json where the agent can read
it. The option text states the cost too - the collector becomes a
dependency in an export path that is currently direct.

# Hive-wide OTEL stats export. Set ONCE here at host level; the
# meta-flake renderer (`hive-c0re/src/meta.rs::otel_config`) reads the
# HYPERHIVE_OTEL_* env exported off hive-c0re's unit (see
# ./hive-c0re) and injects the matching `hyperhive.otel.*` build-time
# config into EVERY agent (mirroring the CA-cert injection), so each
# agent's harness exports its own Claude Code stats directly to the
# collector. There is no per-agent opt-in — this is the single switch
# for the whole hive.

Absolute path to an operator-provided secret file whose contents
become `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS` (e.g.
`Authorization=Bearer <token>`). hive-c0re forwards this host
file into each agent container's credential store via
systemd-nspawn `--load-credential=otel-headers:<path>`; the inner
harness unit inherits it by name (`LoadCredential`), so the token
is never copied into the nix store, the generated config, a bind
mount, or argv. Must be absolute. Leave null if the endpoint
needs no auth header. A configured-but-missing file is skipped
with a log warning (OTEL still exports, without the auth header).

description = ''
Run an OpenTelemetry collector on this host and have agents
export to it instead of straight to `endpoint`.
The point is the credential. Without this, every agent needs
`headersCredential` in order to talk to the upstream and the
harness delivers it into the agent's own `settings.json`, where
the agent can read it. With a collector the token stops at the
host: the collector holds it, agents send unauthenticated to a
bridge address only their own containers can reach.
It also makes the collector a dependency in the export path.
Today each harness exports directly, so telemetry survives
anything host-side being down. That property is traded for the
credential reduction; the collector is on the same host as the
agents, so the window is small, but it is not zero.
Off by default, and off means *absent*: no unit, no port, and
`endpoint` keeps its current meaning for every agent.

Port the collector's OTLP/HTTP receiver listens on, at
`services.hyperhive.network.bridgeIp`. 4318 is the OTLP/HTTP
default.
The port is contributed to
`services.hyperhive.network.exposeHostPorts`, which opens it on
the bridge interface only so it is reachable from agent
containers and not from the outside world.

description = ''
Metric export interval in milliseconds, set as
`OTEL_METRIC_EXPORT_INTERVAL` for every agent. Claude Code's
default is 60000 (60s). Leave `null` to use that default.
Each agent runs claude as a short-lived per-turn process; claude
force-flushes metrics on shutdown, so this is not required for
metrics to be exported, but a lower value gives more frequent
intermediate flushes within long turns. Cosmetic, not a
correctness knob.
