Add coordinator host seams over async, incremental storage

[senamakel]

Summary

This adds the host seams OpenCompany needs to drive the tinyhivemind-hives Coordinator through tinyhivemind-openhuman. It also makes coordinator storage async and incremental, so a MongoDB-backed host can implement it without hitting the 16 MB document cap. The decision record is ADR 0031, and the host guide is docs/opencompany-migration.md (new "Host seams" section).

This was stacked on #108 (land-hive-lab). #108 has merged, so this targets main; upstream/main is merged in and every commit is kept.

Per gap

• C. Async, incremental storage. Storage is now an async, object-safe port: it returns StorageFuture (boxed and Send) and names no executor.
  • A commit is Commit { expected_revision, state, appended }. state is the bounded state row: serde skips messages and accepted. appended holds only the new TranscriptRows, and load reassembles them via StoredState::append. Out-of-order rows fail with Error::TranscriptOutOfOrder.
  • The coordinator persists a copy of live state under an async writer gate, outside the live std::sync::Mutex. On a RevisionConflict from another process it reloads and retries, up to 4 times. A cancelled drain records its interruptions in live state at once, and the next commit persists them.
  • RetentionPolicy (CoordinatorOptions::retention, which keeps everything by default) bounds settled episodes and Delivered deliveries. It never prunes the transcript, or an episode a running turn still reports to.
  • MemoryStorage follows the same contract. SqliteStorage moves to schema 2: a state row plus an append-only hivemind_messages table, written in one transaction. A version-one file is migrated on open.
• a. TurnScope. TurnHooks::{progress, wrap_turn, after_turn} now take &TurnScope { agent_id, episode, message_ids, senders, destination, thread }, built with TurnScope::from_request.
• b. Host transcript and observation.
  • Coordinator::read_transcript(after) is host-scoped and unfiltered. It returns rows in sequence order, including the replies to send_as_host.
  • Coordinator::subscribe() returns a watch::Receiver<u64> of the committed revision, which every commit advances.
  • Coordinator::episodes() returns EpisodeStatus with an EpisodePhase: Open, AwaitingRelease, Settled or Failed(reason).
• c. Starters. SendMessage.starters names the members who start the episode; the message stays visible to every reader. Starters must be distinct readers of the message (otherwise NotMember / DuplicateMember), and a direct message with starters is refused. The field is omitted from the wire when empty.
• d. Release with a note. release_with(agent, note) delivers the note once, as TurnRequest::resumption, and the note survives a restart. release is release_with(agent, None). SuppliedRunner puts a Host resumption note: … line at the top of the prompt.
• e. Replace an agent handle. OpenHumanHost::replace_agent(agent_id, build) waits for any running turn and drops the adapter's handle before calling build, then re-attaches the hivemind tools. The session binding and queued work carry over.
• f. Turn options. with_turn_timeout(Duration) makes the wall configurable; it defaults to TURN_TIMEOUT and rejects zero. The new TurnHooks::prepare(&TurnScope) -> TurnOptions { cwd } is applied through openhuman_embed::Turn::cwd, which embed does expose.
• g. Send policy. with_send_policy(Arc<dyn SendAuthorizer>) is consulted with a SendRequest before hivemind_send_agent, hivemind_send_hive, hivemind_ask and hivemind_broadcast execute. A refusal (Error::SendDenied) comes back to the model as tool error text, not as a turn failure.

Deviations from the brief

• read_transcript(after: Option<u64>) rather than u64. Sequences start at 0, so an exclusive u64 cursor could never return the first row. Option<u64> also matches read_hive and read_direct.
• subscribe() publishes the committed revision, not the latest message sequence. An episode settling and an interruption both change state without appending a message, so a sequence would miss them.
• replace_agent(agent_id, build) takes a builder, not a ready Agent. OpenHuman's Runtime::agent refuses a duplicate id while any clone of the old handle is alive (AgentError::DuplicateId), and the adapter holds that clone. The adapter therefore has to drop its handle before the host can build the new one.

Bug fix found along the way

conduct::prepare had a stall bug. When conductor.turns() errored, it set finished = true, but checkpoint then overwrote that with the conductor's finished() (false). The stalled episode was re-prepared forever, so run_until_idle never returned. A stalled episode now settles as failed. The regression test is a_stalled_episode_settles_as_failed_instead_of_repreparing_forever.

API changes (breaking)

• Now async: Coordinator::new, register_agent, register_agent_in_session, bind_session, create_hive, join_hive, leave_hive, submit_action, release, send, send_as_host; also OpenHumanHost::register_agent, register_agent_in_session and register_spec.
• Storage trait signatures changed.
• TurnHooks methods take &TurnScope instead of &str.
• New public fields: SendMessage.starters, TurnRequest.resumption, AgentRecord.resumption, CoordinatorOptions.retention.
• New error variants: tinyhivemind_hives::Error::TranscriptOutOfOrder; tinyhivemind_openhuman::Error::{InvalidTurnTimeout, NoHandle, SendDenied}.
• A stale coordinator no longer returns RevisionConflict on its first write; it reloads and retries.

Not tested

• The RuntimeMismatch branch of replace_agent (a builder returning an agent from another runtime) has no test. The tests run a single OpenHuman runtime at a time.
• The coordinator still keeps the full transcript in memory and clones live state on each transaction. This change bounds what is written to storage, not what is held in memory.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Hosts can read conversation transcripts, track committed updates, and inspect episode status.
  • Hive messages can specify which members start an episode while remaining visible to other members.
  • Releasing a parked agent can include a note for its next turn.
  • Host integrations can authorize outbound messages, configure turn timeouts and working directories, and replace registered agents.
  • Storage now supports incremental transcript persistence and configurable retention.

• Improvements

  • Coordinator operations now support asynchronous storage, with conflict recovery and more reliable handling of interrupted turns.
  • Turn hooks receive details about the active episode and messages.

• Documentation

  • Updated migration guidance, integration examples, and architecture documentation.

Preserve cancellations across in-flight commits

When a turn is cancelled while another same-coordinator mutation is awaiting Storage::commit, that mutation's snapshot predates the interruption; assigning next here restores its RunningTurn while leaving the deferred marker behind. The next mutation or flush_unpersisted then snapshots that restored reservation, persists it unchanged, and clears the marker, so the cancellation is never durable and the agent remains permanently busy. Merge matching deferred interruptions into next before publishing/committing them. The fresh evidence in the current code is this same-coordinator in-flight commit path, rather than the previously discussed cross-epoch reload.
