Without `--all`, `journalctl --output=json` encodes a field over 4096
bytes as `null`, so a long host error matched nothing and the check
passed. A repeated `MESSAGE` field arrives as a JSON array of its
values, and `bytes()` on that array raised `TypeError`, which aborted
the whole check.
Pass `--all`, and tell a byte array (all integers) from an array of
field values, decoding each value on its own.
Reproduced against the host journal: a 5000-byte error line read back
as `"MESSAGE":null` and produced no match; an entry with two `MESSAGE`
fields, sent over the native journal socket, read back as
`["error first","error second"]` and crashed `host_errors` with
`TypeError`. With the fix both are reported.
Also clear the two test-lint findings of this PR:
`test_comments_valid` rejects the narrative comment above the
`journalctl` Popen, so it goes; the stderr-to-file choice stays, because
an unread stderr pipe that fills up would block `journalctl` while
stdout is still being read. `test_no_uncached_file_reads` flags the
read of the stub's argument file, which lives in the test's tempdir and
is written per run, so the path-keyed `utils.cache.files.read_text`
could serve a stale body; the read opts out with
`# nocheck: cache-read tempdir fixture`, as the other stub-driven
script tests do.

Problem:
Every compose service logs to journald through
sys-svc-container/templates/base.yml.j2. The daily journal health
check grepped the whole journal for "error", so routine application
errors from containers triggered the host alert (email/Telegram) and
buried real host problems.
Change:
- Read the last day of the journal as JSON (MESSAGE, CONTAINER_ID,
SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER, _SYSTEMD_UNIT) and skip every entry that carries
a CONTAINER_ID field. Docker daemon and system errors are still
reported.
- Report each match as one readable "source: message" line instead
of raw journal output.
- Stream the journalctl output line by line instead of buffering a
whole day of logs in memory.
- Exit 2 with journalctl's stderr if journalctl itself fails, instead
of silently reporting "no errors".
- Rewrite the check in Python (files/python/script.py, deployed by
sys-service like the other sys-ctl-hlth roles) and decode non-UTF-8
messages.
- Fix the success message, which claimed "All docker containers are
healthy".
Impact:
Container log errors no longer raise this host alert on any
installation. Container health stays covered by sys-ctl-hlth-container;
application log analysis belongs in a log platform such as Wazuh.
system_service_suppress_flush is unchanged until a deploy confirms
that no host errors remain.
Tests:
Unit tests run the script against a fake journalctl (8 cases):
container error ignored, daemon error reported, identifier fallback,
non-UTF-8 message, journalctl failure, many container lines streamed
past, clean journal passes. The core cases fail against the previous
script.
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.

Roles declared under meta/main.yml dependencies now appear on both the
Dependencies and Dependents side, labelled with the glossary gear
symbol and connected by a fixed 1:1 edge; the legend explains it. All
role READMEs regenerated.

Edges now carry their relation: solid 1:1 for fixed consumption, dashed
0..1 for conditional (group-membership gated) consumption. Below every
diagram the generator renders a reading key for the edge kinds and the
node markers, with the glyphs drawn from the shared symbol glossary.
All role READMEs regenerated.

Add cli/build/readme: derives each role README's managed sections from
templates/roles/README.md.j2.tmpl (the Cosmos mermaid diagram from
meta/services.yml, an invokable-gated Quick Setup, and Credits).
The Cosmos diagram shows dependencies, every declared service, and
dependents (roles that consume this one, matched by role name and by
provides provision-name in both directions). Role nodes carry deploy-mode
emoji markers (compose/swarm/host); disabled and shared services get a
stop mark; dependents are capped at 12.
test_readme enforces the Quick Setup body is byte-exact with the template
render. `make readme-generate` and `make cosmos` regenerate; `make cosmos`
also runs inside `make quality`.
Refactor: utils/symbol_glossary.py is the single source of truth for the
word/emoji mapping (unique project-wide), consumed by the complexity
matrix and the Cosmos builder. utils/roles/deploy.py holds role_has_stack
and role_deploy_modes, shared by both so the logic never drifts.
Add `make lint-mermaid` and its CI workflow, rendering every diagram via
mermaid-cli; the render step provisions chrome-headless-shell and unzip
on demand so it works in the minimal container.

Role README Credits now name galaxy_info.author (plain bold or wrapped
in a Markdown link), matched byte-for-byte against the role's own
meta/main.yml, instead of a hard-coded maintainer name. Regenerate all
245 role README Credits blocks to the new 'Implemented by ...' format.

Tooling integration
* add .markdownlint-cli2.jsonc, .ansible-lint, .ansible-lint-ignore
configs (permissive day-1: cosmetic rules disabled, semantic ones on)
* extend scripts/install/lint.sh with generic install_pip_pkg helper +
ensure_ansible_lint / ensure_galaxy_importer / ensure_markdownlint_cli2
ensure_* functions (pip / npm with sudo / --user / --break-system-packages
fallbacks). install_ansible_tools now also pulls ansible-lint and
galaxy-importer; new `markdown` install group.
* extend scripts/lint/ansible.sh to run ansible-lint after the existing
syntax-check.
* add scripts/lint/markdown.sh and scripts/lint/galaxy.sh runners. The
galaxy runner parallelizes via xargs (-P=$(nproc)), prints OK/FAIL per
role, and treats `bare-name dependency` errors as success since our
roles/ tree is not a Galaxy collection layout. All other Galaxy schema
errors still fail.
* Makefile: new lint-markdown and lint-galaxy targets, both wired into
`make lint`.
* CI: new workflows lint-markdown.yml and lint-galaxy.yml; lint-ansible.yml
now installs ansible-core + ansible-lint; ci-orchestrator wires both
new lint workflows into lint-gate.
Galaxy schema fixes
* shorten the canonical `galaxy_info.company` block from three lines to
two ("Kevin Veen-Birkenbach\nhttps://www.veen.world", 45 chars) so it
stays under Galaxy's hard 50-char limit. Updated everywhere: 229 role
meta/main.yml plus _CANONICAL_COMPANY in
tests/lint/repository/test_role_meta_main_galaxy_schema.py.
* shorten 19 over-long role descriptions to <=255 chars.
* add stub READMEs for sys-svc-compose-ca and sys-utils-service-loader.
Markdown baseline fixes
* markdownlint-cli2 --fix run repo-wide (formatting normalization
across CHANGELOG, role READMEs, docs).
* manual MD041 fixes: prepend H1 in 15 files (CHANGELOG, LICENSE,
TODO.md helpers, role README templates, etc.).
* MD025 / MD003 / MD001 / MD032 manual fixes for heading-style and
list-spacing edge cases.
* role README content polish: "## Single Point of Truth (SPOT)" headings
renamed to "## User data resolution" (D3 self-label rule).

* Add the four mandatory H2 sections (Description / Overview / Features /
Credits) to every role README that was missing one. Strategy:
- prose between H1 and the first H2 is wrapped with `## Description`
- synonym headings rename to canonical (Goal/Goals/Use Case →
Overview, Contents/Tasks → Features)
- everything still missing is inserted at its canonical position with
content sourced from `galaxy_info.description`
* Resolve the 18 remaining documentation.md compat findings on the
modified set:
- em-dash separators replaced by parentheses (parenthetical
definitions), commas (clause separators), or colons (label/value)
- `Single Point of Truth (SPOT)` self-label headings renamed to
`User data resolution`
- one full-URL link text shortened to the project name
* tests/lint/repository/test_role_readme.py is now green across all
227 role READMEs.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* meta/main.yml: replace every prior platforms variant (Linux,
GenericLinux, Any, Archlinux+rolling/all, distro-specific pins) with
the canonical 5-distro list (ArchLinux, Debian, EL, Fedora, Ubuntu;
versions: [all] each).
* lint: merge tests/lint/ansible/roles/test_meta_company_canonical.py
into tests/lint/repository/test_role_meta_main_galaxy_schema.py and
add a parallel canonical-platforms exact-value check; one file walk
enforces both schema conformance and the two project canonical
exact-values (company block-scalar + platforms 5-distro list).
* roles/<role>/README.md: strip emojis from H1/H2 headings (per
readme_md.md role rule), normalize the Credits block to the canonical
wording (Author/Authors/Author Information aliased; canonical block
appended where absent).
* repo-wide: revert text-drift `GenericLinux` -> `Linux` in role
description fields, README body prose, vars, j2 templates, and the
Makefile (87 occurrences). The lint docstring keeps a single
historical mention.
