Stalwart closes a connection that exceeds its per-IP connection budget
without a greeting. msmtp reports that as "the server sent an empty reply"
with exit 76, and the mail health check treated exit 76 as permanent. One
such drop, in a second in which Alertmanager flushed its notifications,
failed a deploy although the same path accepted a mail one second later.
The health check now retries exit 76 when msmtp names the empty reply,
within the ten attempts it already gives to exit 69, 75 and 124. Every
other protocol error still ends the check at once.
The alarm mail was sent once, so the alarm about a failed unit was lost to
the same drop. It now makes three attempts ten seconds apart for the
transient cases of the health check and still reports the last error.
The limit on the server is left alone. Exempting the node's own senders by
source address would also exempt Tor clients and, in swarm, every external
client. That question is tracked in #793.
Closes#790

A templated script is opaque to every tool that reads shell. shellcheck parses Jinja as syntax errors, the repository's own .sh guards skip the file because it is not a .sh, and nothing can execute it to test it: what runs on the host never exists in the repository, so a defect in the rendered half is found by deploying it.
The lint reports any *.sh.j2 under roles and points at the static slot sys-service already resolves, files/shell/script.sh, with the values passed as ExecStart arguments or Environment entries the way this repository's python scripts already take them.
None of the seven templates present meets the bar the marker is for, which is a script whose shape is generated rather than its values. Each is grandfathered with a marker naming what it interpolates, because converting a deployed script to argv changes what runs on the host. The guard exists to stop the next one.

3529 invalid comments in 528 files, grandfathered in while the linter
only saw the working-tree diff. Removal ran through the linter's own
collectors, so detection and deletion cannot drift: a comment whose
opener line is blank before it and whose closer line is blank after it
loses all its lines, anything else loses only the comment region, and a
line left holding a bare delimiter goes with it.
Five files keep their comments behind a nocheck marker instead. Four are
upstream configs whose inline docs are upstream's own (mautrix, systemd
journald, nextcloud-oidc-login, MediaWiki). In littlejs the
commented-out entries ARE the deactivation mechanism for an example
tile, so deleting them would delete configuration.

Moves the SYSTEM_EMAIL_* resolution logic out of group_vars/all/03_email.yml
into a dedicated Ansible lookup plugin, so every role template reads outgoing
mail settings via lookup('email') (global) or lookup('email', application_id)
(per-app). Per-app compose.services.email is merged on top of the resolved
defaults; SYSTEM_EMAIL_* variables remain usable as an inventory escape hatch.
Also splits the email docs: administrator-facing configuration stays under
docs/administration/configuration/, plugin contract and extension rules move
to docs/contributing/design/services/email.md. services.md is relocated to
services/base.md so the services/ subtree can host per-service design pages.

Replaces inline `applications`/`users` merging with dedicated lookup
plugins and runtime hydration. Introduces `add_csp_hash` filter,
integrates sort into `find_dock_val_by_bkp_entr`, splits the Keycloak
one-shot realm import into `05a_realm_import_run.yml`, and fixes the
Mastodon administrator task YAML. Removes obsolete `csp_hashes` filter,
`sys-token-store` Jinja filter, and empty CLI setup modules.

Use `systemd-escape --unescape` to restore human-readable unit identifiers in
Telegram and Email alerts. Also ensure Telegram messages are URL-encoded and
Email status checks try both raw and escaped forms for robustness.
Fixes issue where slashes were shown as dashes in notifications.

- Improved get_service_name filter plugin (clearer suffix handling, consistent var names).
- Added MODE_ASSERT flag to optionally execute validation/assertion tasks.
- Fixed systemd unit handling: consistent use of %I instead of %i, correct escaping of instance names.
- Unified on_failure behavior and alarm composer scripts.
- Cleaned up redundant logging, handlers, and debug config.
- Strengthened sys-service template resolution with assert (only active when MODE_ASSERT).
- Simplified timer and suffix handling with get_service_name filter.
- Hardened sensitive tasks with no_log.
- Added conditional asserts across roles (Keycloak, DNS, Mailu, Discourse, etc.).
These changes improve consistency, safety, and validation across the automation stack.

- Unified service templates into generic systemctl templates
- Introduced reusable filter plugins for script path handling
- Updated path variables and service/timer definitions
- Migrated roles (backup, cleanup, repair, etc.) to use systemctl role
- Added sys-daemon role for core systemd cleanup
- Simplified timer handling via sys-timer role
Note: This is a large refactor and some errors may still exist. Further testing and adjustments will be needed.
