Both units ran at OOMScoreAdjust=0, so under container memory pressure the kernel picked purely on footprint — and the agent's own claude is often the fattest process in the container, which means the session supervising the work died before the work did. The sign is the load-bearing part and is easy to invert: a HIGHER OOMScoreAdjust means MORE likely to be killed, because the kernel adds it to the badness score it derives from the process's memory footprint and then kills the highest scorer. So hive-subagent-daemon gets +500 (first in line) and hive-agent gets -500 (last in line). Written backwards this makes the reported bug worse rather than better, so module-eval pins the order as an inequality. Both values are inherited by the nested claude each unit spawns as a child, so ordering the units orders the sessions underneath them. -500 rather than -1000 on the harness: fully exempting it would leave the kernel nothing to kill in a container whose only large process is the harness.

Loopback port the built-in hyperhive MCP surface is served on. HTTP
|
|
is the *sole* transport for the built-in surface: a
|
|
long-lived `hive-mcp-http` systemd unit runs
|
|
`hive-agent-mcp --http 127.0.0.1:<port>` and `render_claude_config`
|
|
points claude at the stable `http://127.0.0.1:<port>/mcp` URL. That
|
|
URL survives the per-turn claude re-spawn (and a host-side hive-c0re
|
|
restart — each tool call dials the control socket fresh), so there
|
|
is no per-turn MCP re-registration race (a resumed stdio child could
|
|
emit its first tool call before that turn's async
|
|
`initialize`/`tools-list` completed, stranding the agent with `No
|
|
such tool` — the http endpoint eliminates that). `matrix` stays a
|
|
stdio bridge; `bash` runs its own persistent http listener (see
|
|
`hyperhive.mcp.bashHttpPort`).
|
|
|
|
Bound loopback-only; the rmcp streamable-http transport's default
|
|
`allowed_hosts` (`localhost` / `127.0.0.1` / `::1`) rejects Host
|
|
headers from anywhere else, so no auth token is required for a
|
|
container-local endpoint.
|
|
|
|
Failure-mode note: with no stdio fallback, if `hive-mcp-http` is
|
|
down claude hits a dead URL until the unit restarts (guarded by
|
|
`Restart=always`, `RestartSec=3`). Intended shape: no per-turn race
|
|
while up, a bounded self-healing gap while restarting.
|
|
|
|
Safe as a single fixed default across all agents: each container
|
|
runs in its own private network namespace (isolation is always-on —
|
|
see docs/networking/network.md), so `127.0.0.1:<port>` is per-container-private
|
|
and cannot collide across agents. Override only if a container-local
|
|
service already occupies this port.
|
|
|
|
Must match `mcp_config::DEFAULT_MCP_HTTP_PORT` (the harness always
|
|
exports `HYPERHIVE_MCP_HTTP_PORT`, so the const is only a fallback).

# stops it out from under the harness.
