atlas e974194e3a swarm: let an agent publish its own icon
The auth callout grants an agent that presents its own queue credential
one more subject, `$KV.agent-icons.<agent>`: its own key in the
agent-icons bucket and no other. The hive's shared agent client is
granted none of the bucket, since every agent on a hive presents it.

hive-agent writes `/etc/hyperhive/icon.svg`, the file its `GET /icon`
serves, to that key once per start, as a JetStream publish straight to
the subject (what `kv::Store::put` sends, minus the bucket lookup), so
the one subject is the whole grant. No icon deletes the key. A failed
write, including one that arrives before the bucket exists, is retried
with backoff until acked. An agent connected with the hive's shared
client publishes nothing.

swarm-controller creates the bucket as soon as its queue connection is
up, instead of on the first icon read, so an agent's write does not
wait for someone to look.

Measured against a local nats-server with a user allowed publish on
`$KV.agent-icons.atlas` only: the write to its own key is stored and
readable, a write to `$KV.agent-icons.argus` is refused (the ack times
out), the DEL marker makes the key read as absent, and a write before
the bucket exists fails with "no responders".

hyperhive docs

Depth reference for hyperhive — the substrate, not the pitch (that's the top-level README / website). Every page here stands alone; pick the one matching your task rather than reading top to bottom. For the autogenerated NixOS options reference (every services.hyperhive.* / hyperhive.* option, host and agent), see the options site instead — this tree is prose, that one's generated straight from the module declarations.

Getting started

  • Bringing a fresh hive online? → getting-started/setup.md (first-run hivectl bootstrap).
  • What does the dashboard look like, and how do I use it? → web-ui/ — the operator-facing starting point; its own sub-pages (shape, dashboard, agent, css-vars, terminal-rendering) go deeper into implementation.
  • What tools does an agent (or the operator) have available? → tools/ — hivectl (yours) plus every agent's MCP tool surface (bash, forge, lifecycle, matrix, scheduling).

Agent lifecycle

Trust boundary & security

Accounts & integrations

  • How do per-agent forge accounts work? What does forge_notify poll, and how does it format wake messages? → integrations/forge.md (the hive's own Forgejo); tools/forge.md for the hive-forge CLI verbs agents actually call.
  • How does the matrix-tuwunel container work? Multiple accounts per agent? → integrations/matrix.md (the homeserver); tools/matrix.md for the MCP tool surface and services.hyperhive.agent.matrixAccounts.
  • How do I give an agent a GitHub account (gh + git push)? how's the PAT injected? → integrations/github.md (operator content up top; the gh/git-push + notification-poller mechanics are in a collapsed "Implementation" section at the bottom).
  • What's /knowledge? How does the hive-wide knowledge repo sync, and how do I contribute a document? → integrations/knowledge.md.
  • What does hivectl do? Provisioning, gateway users, container shells? → tools/hivectl.md (the curated guide); tools/hivectl-cli.md for the exhaustive, autogenerated flag reference.

Networking & swarms

  • What nginx vhosts does the gateway serve? How does matrix discovery work? → networking/gateway.md.
  • How does DNS resolution work in agent containers? What's the bridge network for? → networking/network.md.
  • How do I connect two hives into a swarm? → swarm/ (peer hives, TLS trust).
  • Where do agent snapshots go? How does the swarm's btrfs receive endpoint authenticate a pushing hive? → networking/snapshot-store.md.
  • Who mints each credential, who reads it, and how does it rotate — and where's that shape headed? → swarm/credentials.md (current state, target state, and the progressive-enhancement rule); swarm/secrets.md for where each file lives today.

Scheduler, CI, observability

  • what's the job queue, as a general idea (not hive-c0re specifics)? → scheduler/jobq.md — operator-facing, no implementation detail.
  • How does the rebuild queue work? What are the concrete step kinds, queue sources, scheduler internals? → scheduler/coordinator.md.
  • How does the CI runner work? What's the autoregistration flow? → scheduler/ci.md.
  • How do I export Claude Code metrics (tokens, cost, tool calls) to Prometheus/Grafana? → scheduler/observability.md.

Crate reference

  • What does a specific Rust crate do, on its own terms? → crates/ — every workspace crate's own README.md, one level up from source; the crate itself is still the source of truth, this is just a walkable mirror.
