atlas e02ac1e86e refactor(#2916): drop the two obsolete startup migrations
Phase 4 (repoint every container onto `meta#<n>`) and phase 5 (rename
the `root` container to `h-root`) were marker-guarded one-shots for
layouts no live hive still has: containers are rendered onto `meta#<n>`
at creation, and the `h-` prefix has been the naming for far longer than
any deployment predates. A one-shot nobody can still trigger is dead
weight, so both are gone along with `repoint_container`,
`rename_manager_container`, `CONTAINER_TIMEOUT` and the two marker paths.

Phase 6 was not obsolete, only misplaced. Ruth's tool groups are now
seeded by `ensure_root_agent` on the one path that creates her, rather
than re-asserted on every hive-c0re boot. The skip-if-already-set guard
survives the move: a destroy+recreate under the same name must not reset
an operator's chosen group set back to MANAGER_DEFAULT.

That also settles a latent bug. Phase 4's marker check was a `return`,
not a skip, so on any hive carrying the marker phases 5 and 6 never ran
at all — the tool-group backfill, whose whole job was preventing a silent
privilege downgrade, has not executed here in a long time. Moving it to
create-time removes the question rather than answering it.

What stays is convergence: three unguarded, idempotent phases that re-run
each boot and no-op once their state is right. The module doc now names
the three categories so the next person can tell which kind they're
adding.

hive-c0re

The unprivileged host daemon (runs as hive-core). Owns the sqlite broker, the approval/question/schedule queues, the generic job-DAG queue, container lifecycle, gateway/forge/matrix provisioning, per-container stats, and the axum operator dashboard. Largest crate in the workspace — bin-only, no separate lib.

When to use it

Host-level, cross-container orchestration: spawning/rebuilding/ destroying agent containers, the approval flow, dashboard-visible state, provisioning per-agent forge/matrix/gateway accounts. Agent-side behavior (turn loop, MCP tools) lives in hive-agent/hive-agent-mcp instead — this daemon only talks to agents over the socket wire types in hive-sh4re.

Shape

Cohesive clusters live in directory submodules, each re-exported at the crate root (crate::broker::… keeps resolving regardless of which subdirectory a module actually lives in). One line each — read the module's own //! doc-comment for real detail, don't expect this file to track it:

  • dashboard/ — the operator dashboard (containers, approvals, schedules, questions, logs, topology).
  • job_queue/ — the job-DAG queue + desired-state reconciliation (docs/coordinator.md).
  • lifecycle/nixos-container lifecycle + per-agent config flake generation.
  • stores/ — sqlite-backed stores (broker, queues, audit, power).
  • workers/ — background sweeps (crash watch, scheduled prompts, auto-update, knowledge sync).
  • agent_config/ — per-agent registries (tool groups, capabilities, resource limits, topology).
  • stats/ — dashboard metrics aggregation + OTEL export.
  • socket_server/ — the unix-socket request server shared by per-agent + manager sockets.
  • forge/ — optional Forgejo wiring (docs/forge.md).
  • coordinator.rs — top-level wiring for serve.
  • meta.rs, migrate.rs — the meta flake + schema/state migrations.
  • matrix.rs, gateway_nginx.rs, webhook_secret.rs, priv_client.rs — matrix provisioning, gateway vhosts, webhook secrets, and the hive-priv client respectively.
