Single atomic landing for three back-to-back role-meta refactor requirements
(see docs/requirements/008-role-meta-layout.md, 009-per-role-networks-and-ports.md,
010-role-meta-runafter-lifecycle-migration.md).
req-008 — role meta layout
* Move every role's metadata under meta/<topic>.yml with file-root
convention (no wrapping key matching the basename):
- schema/main.yml + config/main.yml.credentials → meta/schema.yml
- users/main.yml → meta/users.yml
- config/main.yml.server → meta/server.yml
- config/main.yml.rbac → meta/rbac.yml
- config/main.yml.compose.services + every other top-level key
of config/main.yml inlined under <entity>.<key>
→ meta/services.yml
- config/main.yml.compose.volumes → meta/volumes.yml
* Drop the legacy schema/, users/, config/ directories from every role.
* meta/schema.yml: support nested credential keys, optional `default:`
field (Jinja literal, not rendered/validated/regenerated), implicit
`algorithm: plain`.
* Materialised paths drop the `compose.` prefix:
compose.services.<e>.<…> → services.<e>.<…>
compose.volumes.<k> → volumes.<k>
<former-top-level>.<…> → services.<entity_name>.<former-top-level>.<…>
* Update every Python consumer (utils/cache, utils/manager, utils/applications,
plugins/lookup, plugins/filter, cli/*) plus every Jinja template, vars/*.yml
and task file to the new paths.
* No legacy fallback. Repository-wide grep for `compose.services.` /
`compose.volumes.` / `schema/main.yml` / `users/main.yml` / `config/main.yml`
is empty outside docs/requirements/ and tasks/utils/migrate_meta_layout.py.
* Add tests/lint/repository/test_role_meta_layout.py guarding against the
old paths returning, and an explicit lint guard that meta/variants.yml
files do not carry a `compose:` wrapper.
req-009 — per-role networks/ports
* Move group_vars/all/08_networks.yml.defaults_networks.local.<role>.{subnet,
dns_resolver} into roles/<role>/meta/server.yml.networks.local.{subnet,
dns_resolver}.
* Delete group_vars/all/09_ports.yml entirely; ports now live on the
service entity that exposes them at
roles/<role>/meta/services.yml.<entity>.ports.{inter,local,public}.
* Rename + int-cast every former top-level `services.<entity>.port`
field to `services.<entity>.ports.inter` (single int).
* Always-category-keyed maps for ports.local / ports.public; relay
spans use {start, end} integers.
* Add PORT_BANDS map to group_vars/all/08_networks.yml — single source
of truth for the per-<scope>.<category> band ranges, consumed by both
the new CLI helpers and the lint test.
* New CLI helpers (cli meta ports suggest, cli meta networks suggest)
walk the live role tree gap-first then increment-fallback, with
deterministic output and non-zero exit on capacity overflow.
* cli create role consumes both helpers when scaffolding a new role.
* Lint extensions: bare-int port shape rejection, host-bound port
collision check (single ints + relay span integers, inter excluded),
band-membership check with documented allow-list for the legacy
web-app-bigbluebutton.bigbluebutton.local.http: 48087 entry.
req-010 — run_after / lifecycle migration
* Move galaxy_info.run_after and galaxy_info.lifecycle out of
meta/main.yml into meta/services.yml.<primary_entity>.{run_after,
lifecycle}; <primary_entity> is the value returned by
get_entity_name(role_name).
* For multi-entity roles whose primary entity has no compose service
(web-app-bluesky → bluesky, web-app-matrix → matrix, desk/dev/drv/
gen roles), create a dedicated metadata-only top-level entry under
<primary_entity>.
* Introduce utils/roles/meta_lookup.py with get_role_run_after /
get_role_lifecycle that resolve <primary_entity> once and read from
meta/services.yml; degrade gracefully when meta/services.yml is
absent OR the field is absent; raise MetaServicesShapeError when the
file exists but is malformed.
* Update every consumer (utils/service_registry, utils/invokable,
cli/meta/applications/resolution/run_after/__main__, cli/meta/roles/
lifecycle_filter/__main__, cli/meta/applications/resolution/combined,
cli/build/{tree,graph,role_include}, cli/deploy/development/{common,
init,deps,deploy}, plugins/filter/canonical_domains_map, etc.) to
use the helper.
* Lint guards: no run_after/lifecycle in meta/main.yml; lifecycle
values restricted to {planned,pre-alpha,alpha,beta,stable,deprecated};
run_after/lifecycle never on a non-primary entity; empty run_after
lists rejected.
Also folded into this change set
* services_disabler now writes `services.<svc>.{enabled,shared}` into
host_vars instead of the old `compose.services.<svc>.{...}` path; the
discover/find pair walks meta/services.yml and only treats entries
carrying enabled/shared/provides as provider declarations (so
metadata-only entries from req-010 do not create spurious provider
rows).
* service_registry skips `run_after` deps whose target was filtered
out via SERVICES_DISABLED instead of failing the whole load.
* cli/mirror/resolver and cli/create/inventory/mirror_overrides emit/
consume the new applications.<role>.services.<svc>.image shape
(mirror.md updated to match).
* utils/domains/list.build_applications_from_roles now reads
meta/server.yml directly (it had been silently returning {} since
config/main.yml stopped existing).
* utils/roles/resource_validation.filter_roles_by_min_storage reads
meta/services.yml.<entity>.min_storage instead of the legacy
compose.services path.
* web-app-bluesky pre-clones the social-app build context BEFORE
sys-svc-compose so the build context is on disk by the time
sys-stk-front-proxy/tasks/main.yml flushes the docker build handler.
* 4 meta/variants.yml files (svc-ai-ollama, web-app-phpmyadmin,
web-app-wordpress, web-app-keycloak) lose their `compose: services:`
wrapper so deep-merge over meta/services.yml lands on the new
file-root shape.
Validation
* Unit tests: 1571 passed.
* Lint tests: 50 passed.
* Integration tests: 161 passed (1 skipped).
* Full-cycle fresh-purged-apps deploy succeeded for the 8-app validation
set: web-app-{nextcloud,wordpress,yourls,bigbluebutton,bluesky,gitea,
discourse,mattermost}.

Add tests/lint/ansible/roles/test_web_app_email_integration.py which:
- Emits a GHA warning annotation (via utils.annotations.message) for
each web-app-* role that does not call lookup('email', application_id)
and does not carry an explicit opt-out block.
- Hard-fails when a role DOES call the email lookup but its
compose.services.email is missing enabled: true or shared: true.
- Silencer format: `# noqa: email` on the line directly above an
`email:` block under compose.services with enabled: false + shared: false.
Opt out 13 roles that have no user-facing mail surface:
bridgy-fed, chess, dashboard, littlejs, mig, mini-qr, navigator,
oauth2-proxy, phpldapadmin, phpmyadmin, roulette-wheel, sphinx, yourls.

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.

- Delete group_vars/all/20_services.yml; all service metadata now lives
in each role's config/main.yml under compose.services.<name>
- Rename generic 'database' service key to explicit 'mariadb'/'postgres'
across all app roles; remove legacy type: field
- Add utils/service_registry.py and plugins/lookup/service_registry.py

Ensures web-svc-cdn is loaded whenever any app has css or javascript
injection enabled, by registering css and javascript as service keys in
20_services.yml (both mapping to web-svc-cdn). Adds shared: true to all
css/javascript compose service entries across app and svc role configs.

* replace compose.services.desktop with compose.services.dashboard across all roles
* rename role web-app-desktop to web-app-dashboard
* rename sys-front-inj-desktop to sys-front-inj-dashboard
* update resolver mapping to include web-app-dashboard when dashboard is enabled
* adjust CSP filters to reference dashboard for frame-ancestors handling
* update lookup plugins, filter plugins, templates, vars and run_once flags
* migrate all tests to dashboard naming and service key
* update role dependencies and port mappings
* remove legacy desktop role and variables
BREAKING CHANGE:

- Rename lookup plugin from `docker` to `container`
- Switch all lookups from `lookup('docker', ...)` to `lookup('container', ...)`
- Normalize compose file keys:
- docker_compose → compose
- docker_compose_override → compose_override
- docker_compose_ca_override → compose_ca_override
- Centralize compose path resolution via docker_paths_utils
- Update compose_file_args to always derive paths from DIR_COMPOSITIONS
- Align all roles, templates, and vars with container/compose naming
- Update and rename unit tests accordingly
This prepares the codebase for engine-agnostic container backends
(e.g. Docker ↔ Podman) and removes legacy docker-specific assumptions.

- Update roles, tasks, handlers and scripts to use compose CLI
- Rewrite documentation and admin guides to reference compose
- Update unit and integration tests to expect compose.yml
- Keep internal variable keys for backward compatibility where needed
https://chatgpt.com/share/69870272-b168-800f-84c3-6417398e441f
Replace all `docker compose build` invocations with the `compose` wrapper
to ensure automatic env-file detection and override handling. Update
handlers, notify targets, direct commands, and log labels consistently
across roles.
https://chatgpt.com/share/69866b76-ce6c-800f-ac9e-dba6bba27008
Replace usages of the get_app_conf filter with the config lookup plugin
across roles and templates. Adjust quoting where required to keep YAML
and Jinja syntax valid. No functional changes intended.

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.
https://chatgpt.com/share/6985e635-5a94-800f-b794-937e566ee308
Renamed docker-compose and docker-compose-ca roles to sys-svc-compose and sys-svc-compose-ca, updated template includes, handlers, lookups, tests, and variables, and moved compose instances to /opt/compose.
https://chatgpt.com/share/6985ab2c-8344-800f-9e9a-768f562d138d
- Replace lookup('docker', ..., want='...') with lookup('docker', ..., 'path')
- Allow both top-level keys (directories/files) and dotted paths
- Simplify docker lookup API and reduce lazy dict propagation
- Update unit tests to reflect new lookup semantics
https://chatgpt.com/share/6984ccea-8290-800f-a6d7-ec0e94df95a0
Remove implicit docker_compose variable usage and resolve all docker paths
(files, directories, env) via lookup('docker', application_id).
This prevents scope leakage, centralizes path resolution, and makes docker
context deterministic across roles and handlers.
https://chatgpt.com/share/6984ccea-8290-800f-a6d7-ec0e94df95a0
Replace attribute-style access (lookup('database', app).volume/.host/etc.)
with explicit want= lookups across docker-compose and matrix templates
to align with updated database lookup plugin interface.
https://chatgpt.com/share/6983ddfd-aee4-800f-bce9-18eca2144f25
- 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
https://chatgpt.com/share/6972b49b-b074-800f-a323-dd9fe69d02eb
with explicit per-application TLS resolution.
Key changes:
- Introduce sys-front-tls-layer as the single TLS abstraction
- Centralize certificate paths via TLS_CERT_FILE / TLS_KEY_FILE / TLS_CA_FILE
- Replace sys-svc-letsencrypt SSL templates with generic TLS layer includes
- Add tls_* Jinja filters (enabled, mode, protocol, port, websocket)
- Resolve TLS mode per application (letsencrypt | self_signed | off)
- Remove implicit defaults and WEB_* globals to fail fast on misconfiguration
- Support self-signed certificates with SAN awareness
- Make TLS behavior explicit and consistent across all roles
This decouples application logic from certificate providers and
allows switching TLS flavor without touching app roles.

Use a short, stable container hostname derived from the entity name and move the
public FQDN to a dedicated domain variable. This prevents DNS suffix expansion
(e.g. postgres.<domain>) inside the container and avoids accidental resolution
to localhost.
- Introduce entity_name and domain variables
- Set container hostname to entity name instead of FQDN
- Use CHESS_DOMAIN for APP_DOMAIN instead of container hostname
