+# mother-sync-hive-keys — rebuild the colibri user's authorized_keys from the
+# `hive-pubkey-*` items that agents publish to Vaultwarden (clawdie-enable-mother).
+#
+# Direction: agents dial IN to this (mother) node and run `colibri-mcp`, so their
+# pubkeys must be authorized here, each restricted to that one command. The file
+# is REBUILT (not appended) every run, so removing an agent's vault item revokes
+# its access on the next sync.
+#
+# Run periodically, e.g. cron (mother host):
+#   */5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/mother-sync-hive-keys >/dev/null 2>&1
+#
+# Fail-safe: a vault/login/network failure leaves the existing authorized_keys
+# untouched (the file is only replaced after a successful fetch).
+#
+# Tunables (env): PROVIDER_ENV, COLIBRI_HOME, COLIBRI_USER, MCP_COMMAND.
