A paused agent keeps its container, its claude session and its dashboard/todo servers up, but stops driving turns. Messages queue unacked and are drained on resume. The whole protocol is a single marker file, `<harness>/paused`. That directory is already a bind-mount shared between host and container, so both sides just stat the same path: the harness reads it to decide whether to drive a turn, hive-c0re reads it to render the badge and writes/removes it for `hivectl pause|resume`. No new wire protocol, no container round-trip, and it is sticky across restarts by construction. Not calling `recv_next` while paused *is* the queueing semantic, so there is no fencing to get wrong: reminders buffer in their unbounded channel, the todo `Notify` permit coalesces, and a `request_next_turn` that raced the pause survives because the gate sits above `self_continue.take()`. Graceful stop is handled host-side rather than in the harness: a paused agent provably has no turn in flight, so `run_signal` skips the fence entirely instead of eating the full `GRACEFUL_STOP_TIMEOUT` waiting for a checkpoint turn that will never run. `paused` is reported on `ContainerView` / `AgentStatusRow` for the dashboard, orthogonal to `running` and reported for stopped containers too.

hive-agent
The in-container harness serve-loop binary — one instance per agent.
Long-polls the broker inbox and drives one claude --print turn per
inbox message, over the hive-claude driver. There is one role here
(agent); the Surface trait + AgentSurface zero-sized type tag keep
the turn loop generic and testable for future roles without a
parallel copy of the loop.
When to use it
You don't call into this crate from elsewhere — it's the top-level
binary systemd starts per agent container. Look here when you need to
understand or change: what happens between "a message lands in the
inbox" and "claude produces a reply", how login/auth is bootstrapped,
how the per-agent web UI is served, or how turn/event stats get
recorded. Architecture detail lives in
docs/turn-loop.md; this README is just the
map of the module tree.
Shape
turn.rs— the turn-loop policy layer: renders the system prompt + MCP config, invokeshive-claude, classifies the outcome, and feeds the event/turn-stats sinks.client.rs— broker client (inbox poll, ack, send) speaking thehive-sh4rewire protocol.login.rs/login_session.rs— first-run and session-resume auth flow for theclaudeCLI.mcp_config.rs— renders the per-turn--mcp-config/--allowedToolsblob from tool groups + capabilities.todos.rs/reminders.rs/todo_server.rs— the harness-local loose-ends v2 stores (sqlite-backed) and the in-agent socket server extra MCP daemons +hive-agent-mcpdial into for todo/reminder ops.vacuum.rs— periodic sqlite vacuum sweep for the harness-local stores.events.rs/turn_stats.rs/stats.rs— append-only event sink and per-turn telemetry recording (context usage, cost, tool favorites) underharness/.forge_notify.rs— subscribes to forge notifications and wakes the harness on new activity.prompt.rs— system-prompt renderer (persona + tool docs + environment facts).web_ui/— the per-agent dashboard (terminal pane, status, schedules) served over the built-inhive-agentweb port.paths.rs— canonical path resolution for state/harness dirs and the harness-local sqlite files.
Sibling: hive-agent-mcp (the MCP server this loop points claude
at every turn). Both are described together in
docs/turn-loop.md::Harness binary shape.
