atlas ca4b56c006 hive-c0re: stop naming nix implementation files in env-var prose
Six diagnostics and eight comments explained where an environment
variable comes from by naming the module file that sets it. The reader
of a panic is an operator, who does not edit that file; the reader of
the comment is already in the code. Neither can act on a filename, and
a filename in prose is checked by nothing.

Each one now names what the reader can act on: the option where there
is one (services.hyperhive.network.bridgeName, .bridgeIp,
.bridgePrefixLength, c0re.assets, c0re.orgAvatarPng), otherwise the
unit the process is expected to run under. Two of the six diagnostics
had a real option available; the other four have none, so they name
the unit rather than an invented path.

Four of them pointed at hive-c0re.nix, which is a directory. Two of
those spelled it nix/modules/hive-c0re.nix — a directory that does not
exist either, and one of the two was wrapped across a line break, so
no grep for the whole path could have found it. That is the argument
for the change: prose naming a file rots silently because nothing
compiles it.

Scope here is the four files around those diagnostics. The same
pattern still matches elsewhere in the tree; that sweep follows.

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/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/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.
