swarm-metrics reads the swarm's VictoriaMetrics from inside an agent
container: query, query-range, series, labels and label-values, each one
GET against the store's Prometheus read API through the gateway, printing
the store's JSON. It authenticates the way swarm-logs does, with the
agent's own queue secret read from bao under the agent's leaf, sent as
a swarm-agent bearer.
On the metrics store's host the read API's auth map gains an agent arm
ahead of the Grafana one. It routes to swarm-metrics-agent-auth, a
swarm-logs-auth instance logged in under the existing swarm-metrics-auth
leaf, whose bao grant now includes swarm/agents/+/queue read. The check is
rate-limited per address like the log store's
(deploy.victoriametrics.agentAuth{Rate,Burst,VerdictTtl}).
nix/agent-modules/metrics.nix installs the wrapped binary when the hive
forwards HIVE_AGENT_METRICS_URL (from swarm.victoriametrics.domain) and a
store address, the same gate as swarm-logs. Adds the base:swarm-metrics
skill and the CLI reference with its freshness check.
