A community brain.
Your data stays yours.

Opt-in collective intelligence, privacy-first by design.

Hive is an optional community cloud that lets every team benefit from anonymized patterns discovered across the Korva network — without ever sending identifiable code. It is off-limits by default-deny: nothing leaves your machine until it passes the privacy filter.

The problem Hive solves

Every team rediscovers the same patterns — the same webhook idempotency trick, the same migration pitfall. That knowledge stays locked inside individual vaults. Hive shares the shape of those lessons across the network, anonymized, so you inherit solutions instead of reinventing them.

What Hive does

Default-deny privacy filter

Every observation must pass a strict filter — PII, secrets and file paths removed — before a single byte is queued for upload.

Hybrid context

When enabled, vault_context queries your local SQLite and Hive in parallel with a 3-second hard timeout. Local results always take priority.

Instant kill-switch

Set KORVA_HIVE_DISABLE=1 and all outbound traffic stops immediately — no redeploy, no config edit, one environment variable.

Opt-in by design

Skills and private scrolls are never sent to Hive. Sync is content-addressed and limited to allow-listed observation types.
