atlas efbfeb3954 docs: say what these things are, not where they used to be
mara on #3923: "past tense is itself a smell for docs, we dont need any
'used to be somewhere else'" and "any gate we add should not have false
positives". Those are one instruction: the entire false-positive set of a
repo-path checker was prose naming files that are deliberately gone, so
removing the prose is what lets the gate be strict instead of carrying a
skip-list nobody maintains.

Three sites, and only two of them are past tense:

`agent-hierarchy.md` named two removed modules to explain that a code path
is gone. A reader cannot act on where it used to live; they can act on
where cancellation happens now, which is the half the sentence buried.

`term_msg.rs` carried a "Design history" paragraph whose live content was
three rules -- classification is server-side, `level` carries styling, four
named fields are deliberately absent -- wrapped in narration about a
redesign and a pointer to a deleted frontend file. Restated as the rules.

`gotchas.md` is NOT past tense: it correctly names a file in the website
repo. Qualifying it as `hyperhive/website:nix/options.nix` did not work --
the extractor still matches `nix/options.nix` as a substring, so the fix
has to be prose that contains no repo-relative path at all. Naming the
file alone does that and reads better.

Verified against this tree rather than the default checkout: the audit
script takes a directory argument and defaults elsewhere, so its first
(unchanged) DEAD:3 was a true statement about a different branch. On this
one: DEAD 3 -> 0, 141 distinct paths enumerated, and an injected dead path
is still caught.

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 auto-generated 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 hyperhive.matrixAccounts.
  • How do I give an agent a GitHub account (gh + git push)? How is 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 is /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, auto-generated 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.

Scheduler, CI, observability

  • What is 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 auto-registration 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 (hyperhive#3051); the crate itself is still the source of truth, this is just a walkable mirror.
