atlas 63fc54edc5 refactor(#3393): stop restarting authelia from swarmctl
authelia now watches the users file, so the restart is redundant -- and it
was the wrong shape twice over. It could fail: a login was refused for a
user whose record was already correct on disk, with nothing in either log
implicating the reload. And it only ever worked for this writer --
swarm-authelia-bridge writes the same file and cannot restart anything,
since running unprivileged inside the container is the whole reason it may
write it at all. A reload that depends on which process did the writing is
not a reload.

--machine/--unit and their two env vars existed solely to name a
systemctl -M target, so they go with it. That drops two required settings
from the operator surface.

The three objections previously recorded against watch are all answered
now, and are kept next to the decision rather than deleted: the key is
verified against the pinned build (validate-config accepts it and rejects
a misspelling), the watch is on the directory so a rename is observed, and
partial reads are structurally impossible because every writer of this
file goes through write_atomic.

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 way hivectl-cli.md is. swarmctl itself runs as root on the swarm-controller host, not through hivectl — see swarmctl/README.md for 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-forge Forgejo 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).
