svc-net-tor aborts at roles/svc-net-tor/tasks/router.yml:2 when networks.internet.dns is empty, and rightly so: dnsmasq runs with no-resolv, so an empty upstream leaves the node answering .onion and nothing else. That value is set in exactly two places, both under inventories/development/, and the documented production path reaches neither - the provisioner writes no networks key at all. A reader following the role README verbatim therefore cannot deploy a Tor node.
CI has been proving this since 2026-08-31 without anyone seeing it: the README replay rides on the role's smallest variant and is skipped when the deploy is red, so the only row that ever reached it is one where svc-net-tor itself went green. That happened first on Ubuntu, where the local-service defect abb6f37297 fixes never fired.
The template now emits the DNS assignment, the -e passthrough and the networks entry in --vars for a role whose tasks name networks.internet.dns, which today is svc-net-tor alone; the generator derives that rather than taking a declaration, so a second role asking for the value documents it by doing so. scripts/github/guide/compose_deploy.sh substitutes the placeholder from INFINITO_DNS_IP, the same SPOT inventories/development/default.yml reads, next to the existing domain substitution.
This follows 972596a758, which added the administrator key to the same block for the same reason. No fallback inside the role: defaulting to NETWORK_PUBLIC_DNS_RESOLVERS would route a Tor node's clearnet queries to Cloudflare without the operator choosing it, which is what the assert exists to prevent.

The Production block never set one. inventory provision writes only
ansible_connection for a local host, so DOMAIN_PRIMARY stayed at the
group_vars default of infinito.localhost and the deployment served a zone its
own resolver knows nothing about. CoreDNS templates answers for
INFINITO_DOMAIN_RE and nothing else, so every lookup of the deployment's own
name came back NXDOMAIN.
Mastodon is where that surfaced. tootctl accounts create validates the address
through EmailMxValidator, which resolves MX and then, for the domain itself,
A and AAAA. All six queries returned NXDOMAIN in run 33574056480, the
validator recorded email :unreachable, and the admin account was never created.
Only the guide rows were affected: the matrix rows write
DOMAIN_PRIMARY: "{{ lookup('env', 'INFINITO_DOMAIN') }}" into their host_vars
and resolve fine.
The template now carries DOMAIN=<your-domain> in both the host and the
container form and threads it into --vars, with the container form passing it
through the docker run boundary as well. The two guide runners substitute it
the way they already substitute the SSH key, so the replay deploys under
INFINITO_DOMAIN like every other CI deploy. compose_deploy.sh moves its env
load ahead of the substitutions to have the value; host_deploy.sh had no env
load at all.
A production reader is asked for a domain now instead of silently inheriting
infinito.localhost, which no real deployment wants either. The shipped default
keeps its value: sys-svc-nss documents that *.localhost resolves through the
myhostname NSS module without any zone, and host-side tasks lean on it.

The READMEs are generated from the role declarations. Six role READMEs gain
svc-net-tor in their dependency graph and the top-level table gains the Tor
Onion Service column entries, following cd1f07a91. The remaining lines are
template output: the author name becomes a link, two mermaid linkStyle rows,
and a reworded setup sentence in web-svc-mirror.
Left unregenerated the documentation would disagree with the meta/services.yml
it is derived from.
The generator was not re-run here: this is the output that was already in the
tree, checked to match the committed declarations.

Six findings from a full audit of the roles this branch touched. None was
behind a failing job; all of them lie about what the code does.
Two defaults that can never fire, and would do harm if they did.
vars/main.yml gave services.tor.flavor a 'public' fallback, but
meta/services.yml:28 always defines the key - so the fallback is
unreachable, and it defeats the assert at tasks/00_core.yml:4-9: remove
the key and the role silently deploys public instead of failing loudly.
templates/dnsmasq-tor-onion.conf.j2 guarded twice on
`TOR_DNSMASQ_OWNS_LISTENER | default(true)`, while tasks/router.yml:35-37
sets that fact unconditionally two tasks earlier; had it ever gone
missing, `true` would have reshaped a dnsmasq this role does not own.
Two tasks with no readers. sys-front-inj-logout/tasks/01_deploy.yml
stat'ed logout.js to build INJ_LOGOUT_JS_VERSION; neither that fact nor
INJ_LOGOUT_JS_STAT is referenced anywhere under roles/ or group_vars/.
Cache busting already runs independently through lookup('local_mtime_qs')
in templates/head_sub.j2:1.
One README claim inverted. svc-net-tor's feature list named
TOR_EGRESS_ENABLED and called it off by default. That variable exists only
in docs/requirements/031-*.md - the implementation settled on
TOR_EGRESS_ROUTER_ENABLED, which group_vars/all/19_tor.yml:4 sets to true.
The README stated the opposite of its own default under a name nothing
reads.
Three files nothing can load, in web-app-prometheus. tasks/reset.yml is a
single comment and is included nowhere; templates/compose.override.yml is
one byte, and sys-svc-compose/tasks/04_files.yml:52-54 searches only
templates/compose.override.yml.j2 and files/compose.override.yml;
templates/style.css is a single comment, and sys-front-inj-css/tasks/main.yml:10
searches only templates/style.css.j2 and files/style.css.

The cosmos generator linked a consumer to its provider only through an
'<role>' in group_names reference or an explicit provides: name. A hard
dependency has neither -- pinning the provider on unconditionally is
exactly what removes the Jinja reference the generator was reading -- so
web-svc-asset's bond to web-svc-file vanished from the diagram the moment
it became binding. Match a service key against the provider's own primary
key from the registry, in both directions.
Services the role turns off drew a solid 1:1 edge, claiming a mandatory
relationship for something that carries nothing at deploy time. They now
render as a red 0..0 edge; edge merging gained a real precedence so a
provider consumed through two keys stays live when only one is off.
Named colour, not hex: a '#' opens an entity code in the mermaid lexer and
turns the whole diagram into a parse error on GitHub.

modes.compose.enabled and modes.swarm.enabled were both false, and a
stack role is forced host=false, so all three test_<mode> columns were
false and the CI discovery filter (test_<mode> == true) dropped the role
from every matrix. It was resolved into the priority whitelist as a new
role and then silently filtered out again — svc-net-tor was only ever
exercised indirectly, as a dependency other roles pull in.
The flag is read solely by the discovery model and the README generator;
nothing in the deploy path consults it, so this has no runtime effect.
meta/categories.yml pins the whole net category to compose/swarm false,
which fits svc-net-wireguard-{core,plain,firewalled}: none of them ships
a compose template. svc-net-tor does, and is the only role in the
category that does, so it takes the category-modes exemption the lint
provides rather than bending the category default for three host roles.
Regenerated READMEs follow: svc-net-tor now carries its mode symbols in
every cosmos diagram that names it as a dependency.

Resolves the runner Dockerfile to the lint-standard Acquire::Retries=3
and keeps the collabora TODO wording; hardens the merged tree for the
stricter lints (apt retries in the tor Dockerfile, shell-or-true
markers, comment cleanup).

Pin tor to the manager (host-published SOCKS/DNS live on the stack
host), forward HiddenServicePorts and the dnsmasq onion fast path to
the node address instead of loopback (dead-ends in task netns),
tolerate an empty clearnet-upstream capture, detect foreign dnsmasq
drop-ins before claiming the listener, and transfer onion_self_reach
to remote targets via script.

Turn a NAT/edge node into a full Tor v3 onion node: DOMAIN_PRIMARY
becomes the node's .onion, so the whole stack (web, SSO, LDAP, CA)
resolves onion domains and is reachable over Tor without a public IP,
port forwarding, VPS or DynDNS.
- utils/tor_onion.py: offline v3 key mint (address + HiddenServiceDir
key files), verified against a known key->address test vector.
- cli .../inventory/onion: `init-env` pre-mints the node onion, writes
INFINITO_DOMAIN(+_RE) into .env and authoritative key files into
.onion-identity/hs (idempotent). The onion is a deploy-time input;
no in-deploy random minting (that would not match the pre-set domain).
- roles/svc-net-tor: Tor sidecar (Debian-built, network_mode: host),
installs the minted keys, torrc with one node HiddenService + a SOCKS
proxy restricted to loopback/DiD ranges. files/test.sh probes every
served onion domain over the Tor SOCKS.
- tls: .onion -> TLS off (onion v3 crypto is the transport auth; LE
cannot sign .onion) + app-level flavor override.
- harness/DNS: coredns resolves the onion zone via INFINITO_DOMAIN;
skip the clearnet DNS sanity check for onion; raise nginx
server_names_hash_bucket_size to 128 for long onion server_names.
- test-e2e-playwright: gated browser SOCKS proxy (PLAYWRIGHT_PROXY) +
navigation/action timeouts so specs reach .onion over Tor and fail
fast; the onion node points it at the Tor SOCKS.
- docs/requirements/031: full design.
Verified: dashboard + SSO (Keycloak) + 9 apps reachable over Tor
(HTTP 200 through the node hidden service). make test green.
