Two unrelated changes landed correctly and left their prose behind, both
on operator-facing surfaces.
`hivectl agent <name> choom` gained a `hive-admin` path when hive-c0re
started shipping a polkit rule for `machinectl shell`. `choom.rs`
implements exactly that — `euid != 0 && !in_hive_admin_group()` — but
the `Choom` variant's clap doc comment still said "Requires root and a
running container", eight weeks on. That string is what
`choom --help` prints and what renders into the generated CLI
reference, so it is the sentence an operator actually reads, and it
tells a `hive-admin` member the command is not available to them.
`docs/turn-loop/mcp.md` carried the same staleness inside a
trust-boundary argument ("an operator (root) action"), where naming a
narrower reachable set than the real one is the wrong way to be wrong.
Dating it rather than asserting it: the acceptance landed 2026-09-07,
the doc string 2026-07-16.
Separately, `docs/tools/hivectl.md` states the agent-name hoist itself
("the name is hoisted onto the parent command, so none of the verbs
below repeat it") and its own example block obeys it, then twice writes
`set-limits sock --memory-max 8G` — the pre-hoist order. The generated
reference is unambiguous: `hivectl agent <NAME> <COMMAND>` versus
`hivectl agent set-limits [OPTIONS]`, with `quota set <SIZE>` nearby
showing that positionals do render when they exist. The costly one is a
complete command in backticks inside the paragraph explaining the
footgun it illustrates.
`docs/tools/hivectl-cli.md` is regenerated rather than hand-edited; the
diff against the committed copy is exactly one line.
Closes #4236.

hivectl
The operator-facing host CLI. A thin client for the hive-c0re
daemon — speaks the host admin socket protocol (hive-host-sock) and
does not link the daemon crate. Container lifecycle, the approval
queue, and provisioning verbs all forward to the daemon and need it
running; a few (wg/peer-config, choom) work off local host state
instead.
When to use it
Reach for this crate when adding an operator-run host command — agents
talk to the daemon over their own MCP tool surface
(hive-agent-mcp), not this binary. hivectl is what a human operator
(or a host-side script) runs.
Shape
One module per subcommand family; main.rs is just the clap parse +
dispatch:
agents.rs— container lifecycle (start/stop/create/kill/rebuild/restart/…).approvals.rs— the config/init-config/meta-input approval queue.dag_progress.rs— rebuild-queue progress rendering.power.rs— restart/start/stop at the container level.choom.rs— drop into an interactive claude session in a container.forge.rs,matrix.rs,github.rs,gateway.rs— per-integration account/token provisioning.wg.rs— WireGuard mesh helpers.subvol.rs— btrfs state-subvolume ops.quota.rs,util.rs,completions.rs,open.rs— shared helpers, shell completions, browser-open.
