CLI

Reference for every hivecast subcommand. The CLI section is exhaustive — present state vs target state is called out everywhere.

Pages in this section

Page	What it covers
hivecast command overview	Authoritative inventory of every subcommand the wrapper recognizes
hivecast host	Host lifecycle: install, start, stop, doctor, seed (today as bare verbs; "host" namespace is target state)
hivecast package	Why "hivecast package" doesn't exist — package commands live under the matrix binary
hivecast up / down / logs	Bring runtimes up and down; "logs" is target state (use journalctl or per-runtime files today)
hivecast actor invoke	The actual command is hivecast invoke (no actor prefix) — calling into mounted actors
hivecast login / whoami / logout	Cloud pairing — login/connect/whoami/logout/link-status
Exit codes and diagnostics	Exit code semantics today (0/1 broad), target sysexits classification, common error signatures
