müde 637085644d server-side TurnState in the harness, exposed via /api/state 
new TurnState { Idle, Thinking, Compacting } on hive_ag3nt::events::Bus
with set_state + state_snapshot. the turn loops in hive-ag3nt and
hive-m1nd flip Thinking before drive_turn and Idle after; the
web_ui's /api/compact handler flips Compacting around compact_session.

per-agent /api/state grows turn_state + turn_state_since (unix
seconds). frontend prefers the server-reported state over the
client-derived one — setStateAbs takes the absolute since-time so
the 'last turn' chip reads the actual server-side duration instead
of the client's perceived gap between SSE events. SSE turn_start /
turn_end still drive state instantly between renders; /api/state
re-anchors on each turn_end refresh.

new compacting state gets its own purple badge with pulse
animation (mirrors thinking's amber). napping will slot in the
same way once the nap tool lands.

TODO

Pick anything from here when relevant. Cross-cutting design notes live in CLAUDE.md; high-level project intro in README.md.

Security

  • Unprivileged containers (userns mapping). Today the nspawn container runs as a fully privileged root. Goal: PrivateUsersChown=yes (or the nixos-container equivalent) so uid 0 inside maps to an unprivileged uid on the host, and a container-root compromise lands the attacker on an ordinary user account, not the host's root. Requires per-agent state dirs to be chown'd to that uid on the host side.
  • Bash command allow-list. Replace the blanket Bash allow with a pattern allow-list (Bash(git *), Bash(nix build .*), etc.) per claude-code's --allowedTools extended grammar. Likely lives in agent.nix so each agent can scope its own shell surface.

Per-agent settings

  • Model override. Hard-coded to haiku in the turn loop right now. Surface as a per-agent override: operator via dashboard, manager via request_apply_commit setting an attr on the agent's flake (most natural place since the flake already carries per-agent env/identity). Pair with a model status indicator on the agent page (active / queued / last switched) once the override is in place.

UI / UX

  • State badge: napping state. Idle / thinking / compacting already ship from server-side TurnState. Add napping 😴 once the nap tool exists — it just adds a new TurnState variant the harness flips into for the duration of the nap.
  • Terminal: /model slash command. Operator-typeable model override from the terminal. Depends on the model-override work above; once an override mechanism exists, wire a /model <name> command that POSTs to a new endpoint.
  • xterm.js terminal embedded per-agent, attached to a PTY exposed by the harness. Pairs well with the unprivileged-container work — would let the operator drop into the container without nixos-container root-login.

Telemetry

  • Harness stats per agent in sqlite, charted on the agent page. bitburner-agent samples 18 series; for hyperhive the generally-applicable ones are:
    • turns/min, tool calls/turn, turn duration p50/p95
    • claude exit code distribution (ok vs --compact-retry vs failure)
    • inbox depth (current + max-over-window)
    • messages sent/received per turn (split by recipient: peer / operator / manager / system)
    • approval queue length (across all agents — dashboard-level)
    • per-tool usage counts (Read/Edit/Bash/send/recv/…)
    • time-since-last-turn (helps spot stuck agents)
    • notes file size growth (cues compaction) Backend: a stats table with (agent, ts, key, value) written from the harness on TurnEnd; GET /api/stats?since=… returns the series; agent page renders with a small chart lib (uPlot is light).

Manager → operator question channel

Spawn flow

  • Two-step spawn. Today request_spawn(name) is one shot: manager asks → operator approves → container is created with a default agent.nix and empty /state/. Manager has no way to pre-stage per-agent prompt material, package additions, or initial notes before the agent first wakes. Split into:
    1. request_spawn_draft(name) — host creates the per-agent proposed/ repo (initial commit) and state/ dir with no container; manager now has /agents/<name>/{config,state}/ to edit + commit just like an existing agent.
    2. request_spawn_commit(name, commit_ref) — submits the queued approval; operator sees the diff in the dashboard like a normal apply_commit; on approve the container is created from that commit. Backwards-compat: keep the existing one-shot request_spawn for trivial agents (operator can still type a name in the dashboard). Surface "drafts" as a new section between K3PT ST4T3 and approvals.

Loop substance

  • nap tool. Agent-side MCP tool mcp__hyperhive__nap(seconds) that parks the turn loop for a short while before next-message processing. Use cases: agent decides it has nothing useful to do, or wants to throttle itself between rapid wake events. Implementation: harness records a "wake-not-before" timestamp; recv_blocking skips the long poll until that ts; the state badge reads napping · MM:SS during. Operator can cancel via the same /cancel slash command or a dashboard button.
  • Notes compaction. /state/ is bind-mounted persistently and agents are told (in the system prompt) to keep /state/notes.md for durable knowledge — but we don't currently nudge them to compact when notes grow. Bitburner-agent's pattern: a short-lived secondary claude session that takes the existing notes + a "compact this" prompt and rewrites them in place. Add when the notes start bloating.

Lifecycle / reliability

  • Container crash events. Watch container@*.service via D-Bus, push HelperEvent::ContainerCrash to the manager's inbox so the manager can react (restart, escalate, etc.).
