# Session 026 — 2026-02-18

## Context
Continuation from Session 025. User asked to "pick it up from here" with grounding.md and prior work (terminal context). Phase 2 is complete; Phase 3 (The Hive) is the next target.

## Session Startup (Protocol Followed)
- [x] Read `grounding.md` — summary of Phase 2 completion, Phase 3 Week 15-16 breakdown, continuation guide
- [x] Read prior work (terminal/session 025 summary) — 5-agent swarm completed feedback, privacy, LAN, cache UI, topology; 551 tests; commits 193b54d, 2e171ad
- [x] Read `docs/roadmap/detailed.md` Phase 3 (Week 15-16)
- [x] Scanned codebase for existing Hive/Headscale — see below

## Current State (Verified)
- **Git**: Clean, latest `2e171ad` (docs session-025). Phase 2 work committed.
- **Tests**: 551 total (409 backend, 113 frontend, 29 E2E) per grounding.md — not re-run this session yet.
- **Phase 1**: 100% complete. **Phase 2**: 100% complete.

## Existing Hive Code (Pre–Phase 3)
Already in tree from earlier work:
- **`llmhosts/hive/`**: `manager.py` (create/join/invite/members, file-based `~/.llmhosts/hive.json` + `hive_registry/`), `models.py` (Hive, HiveMember, KarmaUpdate, PrivacyTier, HiveRoutingDecision), `karma.py` (KarmaEngine contribute/consume), `router.py` (HiveRouter — privacy → local → Hive → cloud), `privacy.py` (PrivacyClassifier).
- **CLI**: `llmhosts hive create|join|invite|members` (see `llmhosts/cli.py`).
- **No Headscale**: No `infrastructure/` directory; no Headscale deployment or mesh coordination in repo.

## What Is Needed Next — Phase 3 Week 15-16

| # | Task | Status | Notes |
|---|------|--------|--------|
| 1 | Headscale deployment (Docker, coordination server) | Done | `infrastructure/headscale/` — compose, config, ACLs, README |
| 2 | Hive account system (create Hive, invite via link/code) | Partial | CLI + file-based manager exist; needs Headscale + cloud registry for multi-machine |
| 3 | Node sharing controls (per-node toggle, schedule) | Not started | Not in codebase |
| 4 | Karma system (contributed vs consumed) | Partial | KarmaEngine + models exist; needs wiring to proxy/dispatcher |
| 5 | Privacy-tiered routing for Hive | Foundation done | Phase 2 privacy router ✅; HiveRouter uses it |
| 6 | Headscale ACLs for inter-user access | Not started | After Headscale |

**Critical path**: Headscale → Hive (multi-machine) → Node sharing → Karma wiring.

## What Was Done This Session
- **Headscale deployment**: Created `infrastructure/headscale/`:
  - `docker-compose.yml` — Headscale 0.22.3, ports 8080 (control), 9090 (metrics), 50443 (gRPC)
  - `config/config.yaml` — listen 0.0.0.0, SQLite, MagicDNS base_domain `hive.llmhosts.local`, policy file
  - `config/acls.hujson` — MVP allow-all within tailnet (to be restricted per-Hive later)
  - `README.md` — quick start, pre-auth keys, production notes, LLMHosts integration intent

## Decisions / Next Steps
- **Next**: Wire LLMHosts Hive to Headscale (create users/pre-auth keys from `llmhosts hive create`/`join`), or implement node sharing controls, or karma wiring to proxy.
- **Open**: None blocking.

## File Inventory (Relevant to Phase 3)
- `grounding.md` — continuation guide
- `docs/roadmap/detailed.md` — Phase 3 table
- `llmhosts/hive/*` — manager, models, karma, router, privacy
- `llmhosts/cli.py` — `hive` command group
- `infrastructure/headscale/` — Headscale Docker Compose, config, ACLs, README

## Open Questions
~~1. Proceed with Headscale deployment first?~~ — Done this session.
2. Any constraint on Headscale hosting (self-hosted VPS vs managed)? — Documented in README for operator.
