#1115 raised HSTS to one year but set no X-Content-Type-Options,
Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy or HSTS includeSubDomains/preload,
because none of them is safe globally: nosniff lets ORB block no-cors
responses typed text/html, includeSubDomains on the apex covers hosts
the platform does not serve, and a server-level add_header is dropped
in every location that sets its own.
WEBSERVER_SECURITY_HEADERS (group_vars/all/04_webserver.yml) now holds
the platform values, all opt-in: nosniff false, no Referrer-Policy, no
Permissions-Policy, HSTS max-age one year without includeSubDomains or
preload. A role overrides any key under security_headers in its
meta/server.yml, an inventory under
applications.<role>.server.security_headers.
The new security_headers filter merges both, rejects unknown keys,
wrong types, unknown Referrer-Policy tokens, non-printable header values
and preload without includeSubDomains or below a one-year max-age, and
composes the HSTS value.
- nosniff, Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy are set in the Lua
header filter of content_security_policy.conf.j2, next to CSP, so a
location's own add_header cannot drop them. Referrer-Policy is only
set when the upstream sends none; Permissions-Policy only on HTML
documents.
- HSTS stays the single server-level add_header in nginx_ssl_header.j2,
now with the per-app value. A second emitter in Lua would duplicate
the header. It stays inside the TLS branch, which onion vhosts never
enter, so an onion vhost gets no HSTS even when its app opts in.
No role opts in yet, so rendered vhosts are unchanged.
Closes#1123

Proxy:
- server_tokens off, X-Powered-By stripped from upstream responses,
HSTS max-age raised to one year.
- No global X-Content-Type-Options: under nosniff, ORB (step 3.4)
blocks no-cors cross-origin responses typed text/html, e.g. tracking
beacons answered with an empty 204.
PHP (CVE-2026-109618, CVE-2026-109619):
- New role sys-svc-compose-php installs a shared ini (expose_php Off,
session.upload_progress.enabled 0, fatal_error_backtraces 0 for
PHP 8.5, interim memory_limit -1) and a PHP-FPM [www] drop-in
(pm.max_requests = PHP_FPM_MAX_REQUESTS) once per stack host,
before 04_files renders any compose file.
- The host file names carry a sha1 prefix of the controller-side
source, so a content change alters every PHP app's compose.yml and
recreates it, also on remote deploys where compose_volumes cannot
read the stack host file and hashes the path instead.
- 20 PHP roles mount the ini as a compose/swarm config into their
image's scan dir; moodle, nextcloud and shopware also mount the FPM
drop-in. Magento keeps its own pool: its php-fpm.conf has no
include= and is rendered without notify.
- Joomla's php-upload.ini now loads as zzz-joomla-uploads.ini so its
own memory_limit wins: the media API compares Content-Length with
toBytes(memory_limit) and rejects every upload at -1.
TODOs record the memory_limit revert condition and accepted
trade-offs, Akaunting on PHP 8.1, FusionDirectory on PHP 7.4 and the
public Keycloak admin console.

add_header without `always` only emits on 2xx/3xx, so error/startup
pages (e.g. an app's "initializing" 5xx) lacked Strict-Transport-Security
— which failed the xwiki HSTS E2E even though the settled site was fine.
`always` emits the header on every response; it only broadens emission
(never removes it), so it is strictly safe across all HTTPS vhosts.

The TLS lookup has been renamed from `tls_resolve` to `tls` to better
reflect its responsibility as a strict TLS state resolver.
This refactor updates all usages across the codebase, including:
- lookup plugins and internal helpers
- roles, vars, tasks, and templates
- tests, stubs, and error messages
- documentation and changelog references
Behavior, lookup API, and semantics remain unchanged.

- Remove deprecated filter_plugins/tls.py and all dependent filters
- Introduce strict lookup plugin lookup_plugins/tls_resolve.py as single TLS authority
- Migrate all roles, templates, vars, and tasks to use tls_resolve (protocols, ports, URLs, cert paths)
- Enforce explicit TLS context (domains, applications, TLS_ENABLED, TLS_MODE)
- Support letsencrypt and self_signed with SAN handling and per-app overrides
- Update TLS provider roles to assert resolver state instead of setting facts
- Add comprehensive unit tests for tls_resolve lookup
