//! Provisioning a hive's access to the swarm's secret store: the policy its
//! certificate carries, and the cert-auth role that hands it that policy.
//!
//! The controller writes a credential; the hive fetches it with its own
//! certificate. Without the role the certificate authenticates to nothing, and
//! without the policy the token it gets may read nothing — either way the read
//! half of a delivery answers 403.
//!
//! A pass runs at startup, and repeats until it reaches the store. The two
//! start together, so the store being the slower one is the ordinary case
//! rather than an edge one, and a pass that gave up there provisions nobody
//! until something restarts this daemon. Per-hive failures are different: they
//! are reported and skipped — one hive that cannot be provisioned should not
//! take down a daemon that serves everything else, and a store that answers is
//! answering the same way next time, so the next start is the retry for those.
//!
//! The rule is written once for all hives, [`policy::SHARED_HIVE_POLICY`]: one
//! stanza is the same everywhere, the other is scoped to the reader's own name
//! ([`swarm_secret_client::policy`] explains the asymmetry), taken from its
//! login's alias on the cert mount instead of written into the text. A hive's
//! role attaches that policy and no other. The hive list is loaded once because
//! a config change means a redeploy.
//!
//! The shared agent policy is written by the same kind of pass
//! ([`ensure_agent_policies`]), together with each agent's identity entity and
//! the token lifetimes of its existing role ([`crate::agent_role_ttl`]).
//! Its roster is the store's `hive-agent-*` cert-auth roles.
