What changed
This keeps the blog addition from the original branch and refreshes the public docs around self-hosting and model configuration. The self-hosting guide now starts every page with a top-level title, links project and package references directly, and keeps VitePress layout defaults instead of overriding heading and sidebar spacing.
The old Agents and Inference relay split is now a single Model gateway page. It explains why Hive behaves like a gateway, covers client traffic, profiles, tokens, usage and cost, and folds the agentic workflows into the same model-provider story. The previous Agents page now points readers to the merged page.
A new Configuration reference lives under a References sidebar group and gives environment variables stable anchors. The guide pages link environment variable mentions back to that reference. The README also now warns that Hive is still work in progress.
Why
The guide had started to mix product concepts, deployment details, and implementation details in ways that made it harder to follow. Operators needed a clearer path for understanding what to configure, how authorization works, and how model-backed features are controlled.
Approach
The docs now keep narrative pages focused on behavior and workflows, while the reference page owns environment variable details. The existing /guide/self-hosting/inference route stays in place for the Model gateway page so existing links continue to work.
Impact
This is documentation-only. It changes navigation and wording on the docs site, adds a configuration reference, removes stale guidance from the old Agents page, and does not change application behavior.
