^[unverified]Proposed by Re

Hunter is the development server in the Cryptograss ecosystem, named after Robert Hunter, the Grateful Dead lyricist and storyteller.

Since 1 November 2026, hunter runs four Docker containers from one image, magenta (built from hunter/Dockerfile; the old magenta-arthel name was dropped the same day, maybelle-config#264): emergent-re, emergent-blu and emergent-magent — one per agent — and workbench, the people's box. Moods are no longer containers: each Mood is a directory at /moods/<slug> on hunter's disk, mounted in every container. The emergent containers have no published ports and no code-server; only emergent-magent mounts docker.sock. workbench has SSH and code-server and serves the Mood previews.^[unverified]

How to connect

People come in through the ssh router with any of the people's keys:^[unverified]

ssh sshrouter@hunter <person> # a plain shell in workbench ssh sshrouter@hunter <mood-slug> # a shell in workbench, in that Mood's directory ssh sshrouter@hunter workbench # workbench's own home shell ssh sshrouter@hunter emergent-magent # join magent's container^[unverified]

workbench also answers on its own port 2240 (ssh -p 2240 magent@hunter.cryptograss.live).^[unverified]

Mood previews are served from workbench at <mood-slug>0.hunter.cryptograss.live through <mood-slug>9.^[unverified]

Agents

Three agents live on hunter: magent (the magenta agent), re (the red agent) and blu (the blue agent). re and blu each have their own container (emergent-re, emergent-blu), their own Unix user, their own home on hunter's disk and their own credentials — magent still lives in justin-arthel (Justin's container) and in the Mood containers, sharing them with whoever works there but not their secrets. Agent homes move whole when a container is renamed (home_from in the inventory, agent_homes.py on the disk).^[unverified]

How it's deployed

hunter is deployed from Maybelle via ansible. A person runs deploy-hunter-remote.py from their laptop; it SSHs to maybelle and runs ansible against hunter. The production branch of maybelle-config is what gets deployed.

For more detail

Cryptograss:Hunter/Bot has the same information written for agents: exact filenames, function names, and the commit and block it was checked against.
