atlas 33da51382e subagent: make interrupt cancel a goal run, not just its turn
`interrupt` killed the child and trusted that to end the run. It didn't:
the default signal is SIGINT, and `claude --print` handles SIGINT by
writing its terminal `result` event and exiting **zero**. A zero exit is
`TurnEnd::Complete`, so `spawn_and_track`'s killed-turn early return —
the code that was supposed to stop the run — never fired, and the loop
went straight on to spawn the next goal turn. An interrupted run carried
on to completion; the interrupt changed nothing about the outcome.

Measured, not inferred: `claude --print --verbose --output-format
stream-json`, SIGINT'd mid-turn, exits 0 on every run.

So record the reason instead of inferring it. `interrupt` writes
`StopReason::Cancelled` — the same path `goal_reached`/`need_help`
already use — while it still holds the `running` lock, so there is no
instant in which the name has lost its cancel handle but not yet gained
its stop reason. `plan_after_turn` checks stop reasons ahead of the goal,
so the run stops whichever way the child ends up exiting. `force`'s
SIGKILL still produces a `TurnEnd::Killed`, and `status` still prefers
the kill record it already had.

`continue`'s budget reset is untouched: it clears the stop reason and
hands back a fresh allowance, which is what makes a cancel a pause an
operator can undo.

The test spawns the real continuation loop against a fake claude that
exits 0 on SIGINT, interrupts it, and asserts turn two never starts —
it reports `left: 2` without the fix.

hyperhive docs

Depth reference for hyperhive — the substrate, not the pitch (that's the top-level README / website). Every page here stands alone; pick the one matching your task rather than reading top to bottom. For the autogenerated NixOS options reference (every services.hyperhive.* / hyperhive.* option, host and agent), see the options site instead — this tree is prose, that one's generated straight from the module declarations.

Getting started

  • Bringing a fresh hive online?getting-started/setup.md (first-run hivectl bootstrap).
  • What does the dashboard look like, and how do I use it?web-ui/ — the operator-facing starting point; its own sub-pages (shape, dashboard, agent, css-vars, terminal-rendering) go deeper into implementation.
  • What tools does an agent (or the operator) have available?tools/hivectl (yours) plus every agent's MCP tool surface (bash, forge, lifecycle, matrix, scheduling).

Agent lifecycle

Trust boundary & security

Accounts & integrations

  • How do per-agent forge accounts work? What does forge_notify poll, and how does it format wake messages?integrations/forge.md (the hive's own Forgejo); tools/forge.md for the hive-forge CLI verbs agents actually call.
  • How does the matrix-tuwunel container work? Multiple accounts per agent?integrations/matrix.md (the homeserver); tools/matrix.md for the MCP tool surface and services.hyperhive.agent.matrixAccounts.
  • How do I give an agent a GitHub account (gh + git push)? how's the PAT injected?integrations/github.md (operator content up top; the gh/git-push + notification-poller mechanics are in a collapsed "Implementation" section at the bottom).
  • What's /knowledge? How does the hive-wide knowledge repo sync, and how do I contribute a document?integrations/knowledge.md.
  • What does hivectl do? Provisioning, gateway users, container shells?tools/hivectl.md (the curated guide); tools/hivectl-cli.md for the exhaustive, autogenerated flag reference.

Networking & swarms

  • What nginx vhosts does the gateway serve? How does matrix discovery work?networking/gateway.md.
  • How does DNS resolution work in agent containers? What's the bridge network for?networking/network.md.
  • How do I connect two hives into a swarm?swarm/ (peer hives, TLS trust).
  • Where do agent snapshots go? How does the swarm's btrfs receive endpoint authenticate a pushing hive?networking/snapshot-store.md.
  • Who mints each credential, who reads it, and how does it rotate — and where's that shape headed?swarm/credentials.md (current state, target state, and the progressive-enhancement rule); swarm/secrets.md for where each file lives today.

Scheduler, CI, observability

  • what's the job queue, as a general idea (not hive-c0re specifics)?scheduler/jobq.md — operator-facing, no implementation detail.
  • How does the rebuild queue work? What are the concrete step kinds, queue sources, scheduler internals?scheduler/coordinator.md.
  • How does the CI runner work? What's the autoregistration flow?scheduler/ci.md.
  • How do I export Claude Code metrics (tokens, cost, tool calls) to Prometheus/Grafana?scheduler/observability.md.

Crate reference

  • What does a specific Rust crate do, on its own terms?crates/ — every workspace crate's own README.md, one level up from source; the crate itself is still the source of truth, this is just a walkable mirror.

Process & conventions
