atlas b08176f089 feat(#2693): let the operator pin the claude-code every agent runs
Agents run whatever `claude-code` the meta flake's `nixpkgs` resolves
to, and that is normally a release channel. This one package moves fast
enough that stable trails unstable by weeks — 26.05 is on 2.1.187 while
unstable carries 2.1.220 — and an agent cannot fix it for itself: it
only ever sees the single nixpkgs hive-c0re injects, so an `agent.nix`
has no other tree to reach for.

New host option `services.hyperhive.c0re.claudeCodePackage` takes the
package directly and rides the existing `hyperhiveDocs` threading path —
serveConfigJson -> HiveEnv -> render_flake — to reach each agent as
`hyperhive.claudeCodePath`. Null (the default) is today's behaviour.

What travels is the store *path*, as a plain string literal, not a flake
input: containers share the host's `/nix/store`, so the build is already
reachable inside them with its whole closure and has nothing to travel.
An input would be worse than useless — a `path:/nix/store/<pkg>` input
is re-copied as a reference-less `-source`, which strips exactly the
closure the binary needs.

The catch is that a path written into a generated flake is text, so
nothing in the container's closure keeps the binary alive. The host does
that instead, and gets it for free: the package is interpolated into
`/etc/hyperhive/serve.json`, `builtins.toJSON` preserves string context,
so the /etc entry references it and the system closure gc-roots it for
as long as that generation is the one the agents were rendered from. An
assertion pins that property, because losing the context is invisible at
eval and at deploy — it would surface only as every agent failing to
spawn `claude` whenever the next gc ran.

Container side wraps the path in a symlink farm rather than putting it
on PATH directly: `systemd.services.<name>.path` and
`environment.systemPackages` both coerce a store-path *string* through
`lib.toDerivation`, i.e. `builtins.storePath`, which pure evaluation
rejects. Interpolating the path into a builder is just text and
evaluates anywhere. `claude-code` drops out of systemPackages when a
pin is set, so there is exactly one claude in the container.

Defaults to `"path:''${pkgs.path}"` the store path of the
nixpkgs the host NixOS module was evaluated with. When the
operator sets `inputs.hyperhive.inputs.nixpkgs.follows =
"nixpkgs"` in their host flake, `pkgs.path` resolves to the

description = ''
The `claude-code` build every agent runs, or `null` (the
default) to leave each agent on the `claude-code` from its own
nixpkgs i.e. whatever `nixpkgsFlake` resolves to.
This is the one binary the whole hive is built around, and it
moves fast enough that a release channel routinely trails
unstable by weeks on it. An agent cannot fix that for itself:
agents evaluate against the single nixpkgs hive-c0re injects,
so an `agent.nix` has no other tree to reach for. Set this from
a second nixpkgs in the host flake and every agent follows,
without moving the nixpkgs the rest of the container is built
from.
What travels into the container is the **store path**, not the
derivation: agents share the host's `/nix/store`, so the binary
and its full closure are already reachable there nothing
needs rebuilding or copying. hive-c0re writes the path into
each agent's generated flake as a plain string literal (a bare
path fed to `lib.types.package` would run `builtins.storePath`,
which is illegal under pure evaluation) and the agent module
puts its `bin/` on the harness's PATH.
The flip side of a plain string is that nothing in the agent's
own closure refers to it, so the container cannot keep it
alive. The **host** does that instead: this package is
interpolated into `/etc/hyperhive/serve.json`, which puts it in
the host's system closure so it is gc-rooted by the running
generation for exactly as long as that generation is the one
the agents were rendered from. The cost is that
`nix-collect-garbage` cannot reclaim an old `claude-code` until
every agent has been rebuilt past it and the old generations
are gone.

description = ''
Pre-fetch the per-container system closures (agent-base +

host's NixOS build, instead of letting the first agent spawn
do all the work.
Enabling this adds roughly the full nixpkgs runtime closure +
claude-code + the harness binary to your system closure size
(low single-digit GB), but the first `nixos-container start`
for any agent then completes in seconds instead of minutes
because nothing's left to fetch.
Off by default because the toplevels are pinned to
`x86_64-linux` (nixos-containers run native arch). Enabling
on an aarch64 host would force nix to build the x86 closure
via cross or a remote builder, which is rarely what you want.
Flip to `true` on an x86_64 host when you care more about
first-spawn latency than host store size or just
`nix build .#agent-base-toplevel` once manually to warm the
store.

Per-model USD prices (per **million** tokens) used for the

a specific entry beats a generic family name. Any model not
covered by this table falls back to hive-c0re's built-in
estimate.

systemd `CPUWeight=` applied to every agent container via the

`cpu.weight` relative share, **not** a cap: a low-weight

it, and the weight only decides who yields under contention.
That makes it the complement of `agentCpuQuota`, which throttles
even on an idle host.
The kernel default is `100`. The hyperhive default of `80` means
agent containers yield slightly to everything that is *not* on
this drop-in path host services and the infrastructure
containers (`hive-ci`, `hive-forge`, `hive-gateway`,
`hive-matrix`), which stay at `100`. Note this is a hive-wide
value, so it does not rank agents against *each other*: they all
share one weight.
Set to `null` to leave `CPUWeight=` out of the drop-in entirely
the container then inherits the kernel default and the generated

Caveat: `IOWeight=` maps to the cgroup v2 `io.weight` knob, which
is only honoured when the `io.cost` (blk-iocost) controller is
enabled for the backing device, or when the device uses the BFQ
scheduler. On a host running `none`/`mq-deadline`/`kyber` without
iocost QoS configured, systemd writes the value and the kernel
ignores it harmless, but it will measure as a no-op. Check with
`cat /sys/fs/cgroup/io.cost.qos` on the host, and set this to
`null` to omit the setting rather than write one nothing reads.
