A port under ports.local or ports.public binds an address on the stack host, which is what a HiddenServicePort can forward to. Whether it should be forwarded has a cost in both directions: silently off leaves a service unreachable that the operator believes is on the onion, and silently on publishes a database, an admin interface or a SOCKS proxy to everyone holding the onion address. Neither belongs in a default, so the flag is now mandatory and every false carries the reason it is false.
The first run produced 165 findings, of which 131 were one architectural fact repeated rather than 131 decisions. Four groups are therefore settled once in the lint instead: the proxy-fronted http, sso and websocket, because the node onion already forwards port 80 to the reverse proxy that routes every vhost, oauth2 hop and socket upgrade behind it; the implicit-TLS variants, because Tor is already the transport encryption and container_ports drops those listeners when TLS is off, which an onion deployment always is; the categories a hidden service cannot carry, listed once in plugins.lookup.tor_ports.UDP_ONLY_CATEGORIES, which the lint imports rather than restates; and any entity that already answers the question through exposed:.
That leaves 23 real per-port decisions, each with a reason naming its own consumer. svc-net-tor keeps its own socks, trans and dns off the onion: a published SOCKS port is an open proxy, and SocksPolicy cannot refuse it because the forward arrives from the node's own address.
Mailu turns smtp, submission, imap and pop3 on, which is what makes sending and receiving work over the onion, and leaves sieve off because ManageSieve manages filters rather than mail. Measured end to end through the merged applications view, across all 105 roles the deploy now forwards exactly 25, 110, 143 and 587.

start_interval is the cadence while start_period runs, and only while it runs.
Once the window closes the probe falls back to interval, so a service that
becomes ready just after it pays a whole tick anyway and the cadence never
reached it. Six of the seven flavors were shaped that way, Curl worst: a thirty
second window against a one minute interval.
Measured across 151 converge waits in four job logs, 63 sit exactly on a tick
boundary, 36 in the thirty second step and 27 in the sixty second one.
Attributed by application, web-app-seaweedfs is the largest at 1501s over
sixteen waits with a median of 57.7s: it probes with curl and fell straight into
the gap. web-app-zammad probes with connect, whose window is fifteen minutes,
and its 154s median is real boot time with nothing to recover.
So the window moves to ten minutes and the steady state interval to two, and the
flavor overrides that sat below them go: Curl, Wget and Connect lose interval
1m, Http its twenty second window, Nc its ten. Connect keeps fifteen minutes.
Neither number costs anything while a container works. start_period delays
nothing, it only stops failures counting, and interval no longer touches
convergence at all since that hangs on the window alone; it is steady state
load, which drops from 120 probes an hour per service to 30.
Forty six role files follow. Twenty seven declarations go that repeat the new
default or undercut it, an undercut window being the defect itself. Eight
windows longer than ten minutes keep their value and now say why. The literal
blocks and the three Dockerfiles this repository builds spell every timing out,
because outside the lookup an omission takes docker's value and not the
platform's.
A fourth lint rule keeps the shape: start_period must outlast one interval,
checked against the effective values, so raising interval without the window
cannot quietly bring the cliff back.
Two faults in the lint surfaced while building it and are fixed here. It
compared timings as strings, so 600s and 10m read as different values, and it
matched the healthcheck key exactly, so a line carrying a trailing nocheck was
skipped whole, which is how the two swarm-init partials went unexamined.
One regression, bounded. A container that starts and never turns healthy is
neither rejected nor errored, so stack_ready.sh only calls it fatal after three
killed tasks, and each cycle now spans the longer window. That reaches twenty
minutes rather than six, capped there by swarm_stack_converge_retries at 600
with a two second delay, and it lands only on runs that were failing anyway.

The lookup writes overrides.get(key, effective_default), so a service that
repeats what it would have inherited changes nothing and only hides the day the
default moves. Forty seven such lines stood in the tree.
Almost all of them came from the migration that moved the literal blocks into
meta/services.yml. The values were carried over verbatim so the move could be
proven lossless, which was right for the proof and left the no-ops behind.
The defaults they are measured against are the effective ones, not the base
class. Curl probes every minute, Connect grants a fifteen minute start window,
and a prefix raises timeout, retries and start_period further. Comparing against
Probe alone would have called out every service that simply agrees with its
flavor.
Eight services lose interval: 10s as well and fall back to their flavor's
cadence, thirty seconds, or a minute for decidim's curl. Since start_interval
exists, interval no longer touches convergence at all: it is steady state load
for the life of the deployment. That takes the five databases, matomo, snipe-it
and decidim from 360 probes an hour each to 120. It buys that with slower
failure detection, 180s to 540s for the databases, which is acceptable because
an unhealthy container fails the deploy whichever number stands there.
Twelve deviations that do cost something now carry their reason. Where the
mechanism is known it is named: ejabberdctl and rabbitmq-diagnostics start an
Erlang CLI node, mmctl spawns a binary and talks to the local socket, php artisan
boots Laravel on every probe, keycloak's management endpoint answers from the
JVM.
Two say instead that the value was carried over and never measured. './fider
ping' and pgrep both fit the five second default and no reason for ten is
visible, so the comment records that there is no evidence rather than inventing
one. They mark where a measurement belongs.

42ebd9ea71 gave the healthcheck SPOT start_interval, the cadence docker uses
while start_period is still running. A block a template writes out itself
bypasses the SPOT and never gained it. Measured across the repository: 46 such
blocks, 40 of them already carrying start_period, not one carrying
start_interval.
Without it a probe fires only every interval, so a service ready after two
seconds is reported healthy at the next tick and a stack converges no faster
than its coarsest quantisation. That lands in sys-svc-compose's swarm converge
wait, 1551.7s per CI job over 38 stack deploys.
Twenty five of the blocks move into meta/services.yml and render through
container_healthcheck. Each keeps an explicit test rather than picking a flavor:
a flavor would replace the command instead of carrying it across.
The move is lossless by construction. probes.py block() writes
overrides.get(key, default) for interval, timeout, retries, start_period and
start_interval, so a declaration repeating the literal values renders the same
block plus the missing cadence. Checked per block against the old values: the
only difference is start_interval 5s, nothing changed, nothing lost.
Twenty one stay literal. Seventeen interpolate a template variable, whose value
resolves in a scope meta/services.yml does not share, so moving them would be a
rewrite rather than a transcription. Four interpolate nothing and still cannot
move: svc-db-memcached and svc-db-redis probe every second in their swarm
service partial, where a 5s start cadence would report healthy later than the
block already does, and the sys-svc-rdbms and keycloak sso_proxy partials render
for the consuming role's application_id, so their declaration has no single
meta/services.yml to live in. Each carries a nocheck naming its reason.
All twenty one gain start_interval. Three also gain start_period, without which
the key does nothing at all, since it only applies while the start period runs.
That widens their failure tolerance rather than narrowing it: bluesky from 90 to
120 seconds, magento from 50 to 80, the mariadb partial from 180 to 210.
pixelfed spelled its probe as a bare string and now spells it CMD-SHELL. Docker
reads both as a shell command; only the YAML shape changes.

supported_version and minimum_version sat in 24 roles and were read by no template, no task and no lookup. Their only consumer was the audit report version column, which turned false the moment an automated image bump ran: qdrant reported a verified version nobody had verified, two releases long. Both leave MCP_KEYS, so a role that declares them again fails the schema lint instead of carrying a field with no effect.
Requirement 025 mandated minimum_version as a MUST and 035 carried it in an example; both are corrected here, otherwise the repository would contradict its own code.
The gate then surfaced five dead docs.mattermost.com links. Mattermost moved to /administration-guide/ and /deployment-guide/, and every replacement was probed for 200 rather than guessed. The MCP page is gone with no successor, so mattermost now points at mcpserver/README.md in the Agents repository, the source rather than a rendered mirror.
Both concerns share three files - mattermost's meta/mcp.yml, requirement 025, and the generated audit.md, which derives from a source of each - so splitting them would commit an artifact that does not match its sources.

An MCP client spec signs in through the client's own OIDC button, which
redirects to Keycloak. Every provider put its MCP pairing in the lean variant,
and that variant pinned sso off - so the round that exists to prove the pairing
was the one round without an identity provider. Run 33574056480 shows what that
costs: openwebui's MCP specs reached _shared.js:131 and died on "openwebui OIDC
sign-in button must be visible on the auth page".
The rule now demands two things of the variant that carries the consumers: the
provider pins sso on, and each admitted consumer, in the variant that round
actually pulls in, does not pin it off. The second half matters because a round
deploys every dependency at its own index and falls back to variant 0 only when
the dependency has fewer, so the client shipping alongside is that one and not
the client's variant 0. A role that declares no sso, or pins it to a literal
false because upstream speaks no OIDC, is exempt from a flag it cannot have.
Twenty roles moved to satisfy it. Ten already had a second sso: false pin and
only needed the flip. Six could host the pairing in variant 0, which already
has sso on, and dropped back to two variants. Six kept a third lean variant to
carry the false polarity variants-coverage wants. moodle and mattermost took
swaps instead: moodle's variant 1 is the mandated LDAP-only branch, and
mattermost was already at the three-variant cap with sso on in its variant 2.
nextcloud also turns context_agent on in that round, the ExApp that serves the
endpoint - with it off the round proved nothing it was built to prove.
The rule moves to tests/lint/ansible/services/ because it reads meta YAML and
executes nothing, which is where integration.md says such a check belongs, and
its suppression key joins the catalog it was never listed in.
nextcloud_exapp_reregister becomes nextcloud_exapp_renew: mcp-secret-masking
matches `register:` unanchored, so the substring in the old name read as a task
that prints a secret. register.yml already masks the two tasks that carry one.

The mcp-consumer-variant guard demanded three things of a provider's MCP
round: every admitted consumer enabled, each of them pinned `services: null`
so it dragged no dependencies along, and no other service left enabled. Two
of those were the rule legislating a round's contents rather than checking
that the pairing gets proven at all.
Keep the first and drop the rest. What else the round carries is the role's
own call, so the tor/litellm exemption, the datastore exemption and the
`allowed` set they fed have no reader left and go with them.
Strip the 63 `services: null` pins the rule forced across 20 variants, all
written bare as `services:`. The topic-emptying capability behind them
stays: apply_topic still normalises None to {} for the inventory payload,
and the unit tests still cover it. Only the uses and the mandate are gone.
That leaves overridden_providers scanning a repository with nothing left to
find, so its three assertions passed over an empty dict and would have
stayed green however the function broke. Rebuild them on a synthetic role
tree, which also covers the case the repository scan never held: a variant
naming a plain flag is not an override.
Removing the pins changes what deploys. Measured across all 20 variants: 18
identical, prometheus#1 grows 23 to 31 roles, moodle#2 grows 31 to 32 and
crosses the memory budget until the following commit shrinks it back.

A round deploys a provider once, so the role that pulls it in is the only place that can say how lean it has to be. A variant entry may now carry any application config topic under a service it depends on: a mapping deep-merges, so naming one key changes that key alone, and null empties the topic. Empty was the case that needed a marker of its own, because merging an empty mapping is a no-op and would leave exactly the services the round was trying to shed.
The topic vocabulary and the merge semantics live in utils.roles.applications.topics, which is also where resources.py now gets them rather than spelling the same null-or-merge out a second time. Collecting who demands what stays in the inventory tree, refuses two roles demanding different values for one provider in the same round, and skips a role's own entity entry so the existing services.<own>.users declarations are not read as overrides.
The CI set-cover learns the same fact. Its greedy cover retires a role's variant-0 row when an earlier row of another role embeds it, on the stated premise that embedding pulls the provider's variant 0. A variant that dictates that provider's config breaks the premise from the other side: whatever ran, it was not the provider as the provider declares it. Such a pair now covers nothing, so the retired row keeps its job, its artefact and its verdict.
Measured on the current tree: 20 override pairs, 41 covered rows before and after, so nothing is revoked today. The rule bites the moment an override lands in a row that covers.

The contract check ran as an Ansible task in the middle of every provider deploy, and the two client checks ran the same way. A test that is part of the deploy cannot be run without deploying, cannot be re-run on its own, and reports its verdict as a deploy failure. Twenty-seven task files lose 491 lines to this.
It is now what it always was. Each provider ships files/test/test.sh, templates/test.env.j2 and meta/tests.yml, and test-e2e-cli stages one shared harness beside it: run.sh drives contract.sh in a throwaway container on the provider's own network, then isolation.sh for adapter-fronted providers. The read probe each provider offers moved from the calling task into meta/mcp.yml next to the allowlist it must satisfy, and the schema now rejects a read probe naming a tool outside that allowlist.
The bearer the test presents is the one a client resolves through mcp.credential, via the new mcp_client_bearer lookup over resolve_credential, which moved to utils.roles.applications.mcp so it is the same function mcp_servers renders every client connection with. The probe presented whatever the calling role passed, which for the fifteen adapter-fronted providers is a different secret than any client holds.
Sidecar isolation is read from the engine rather than measured inside the container, so it no longer needs a delegation to the node holding the task: attachment is compared by network name, which drops the gwbridge special case, and a swarm worker says it cannot measure instead of skipping silently.
Retrying is bounded by wall clock against MCP_DEADLINE_SECONDS, which scales through the same lookup('timeout') as the harness budget it has to stay under. A flag that is neither true nor false aborts rather than reading as off.
mcp-provider-probe becomes mcp-provider-cli-test: an enabled provider must ship the test rather than include the task. mcp-probe-bearer becomes mcp-adapter-bearer, tying ADAPTER_BEARER to the declared credential key now that no probe include carries it. A new integration test renders the shared env template for every provider through Ansible's own templar, so a later change to it breaks visibly instead of poisoning twenty deploys quietly.
Hermes and OpenClaw keep their client-side proof as CLI tests of their own.

Thirteen of sixteen MCP sidecar entries carried no enabled at all, so
collect_role_resources fell back to _looks_like_container and billed every
one of them as running. Three roles already gated theirs on mcp.enabled;
the rest now do the same, gitea twice because it is the only role with a
vendor container behind the adapter.
The fifteen adapter roles then read services.<key>.enabled instead of
mcp.enabled, so the compose block and the task gates follow the services
entry rather than running beside it on a second path. The six plugin and
native roles keep reading the topic: they ship no sidecar entry to point at.
The three-level resolution is not new. KEYCLOAK_LOGOUT_PANEL_ENABLED has
the same shape and depth and gates a task the same way, and the same value
reaches JAVASCRIPT_SERVICE_ENABLED, where service-gating.js throws on
anything but "true" or "false" — an unresolved chain would have been
killing keycloak's Playwright run since 575a5a87ac.
This does not change what the resource model counts: _is_enabled reads the
unrendered Jinja and still treats it as on. What it buys is one switch
instead of two, and a declaration that matches it.

83c1c729de gave every provider a group_names-gated services entry per MCP
client, including the clients it refuses with mcp_consumer: false. The gate
is what makes the inventory resolver plan provider and client into one round,
so 19 of the repo's 82 co-deploy pairs started a client for a pairing the
provider had already declined. flowise is a live MCP client of qdrant,
homeassistant and prometheus; the other 17 providers were bringing up its
node stack for nothing.
The entries now read enabled: false, shared: false, mcp_consumer: false, and
the variants that pinned them to true are gone. Setting those variants to
false instead is not an option: test_variants_no_static_override forbids any
variant override of a literal base value in either direction.
bond leaves with them, and a new lint holds that line: collect_role_resources
skips a literally disabled entry before it reads any resource key, so a bond
there describes a cost nobody pays. Thirteen entries unrelated to MCP carried
one and are cleared too.
test_mcp_consumer_services_entry demanded the group_names shape for every
client entry, refused ones included, and now demands the opposite there.
dynamic-flag keeps its rule and takes its own documented per-key exemption.
make docs redraws twenty graphs: the edges go, the nodes stay as
'openwebui ❌' and 'flowise ❌', so the refusal is visible rather than read as
an integration.

enabled and shared were hand-maintained in 24 roles and wrong in both
directions. Both now resolve from the mcp_consumer edges already declared
in meta/services.yml: a server takes the consumers it admits, a client
takes the servers that admit it, and the pair renders as "'peer' in
group_names or ...", or False when no peer is admitted at all. setdefault
keeps meta/mcp.yml and meta/variants.yml as the override channel, so
pinning either key still wins.
The resolved block replaces the mapping instead of being written into it.
_build_role_base_config parks the YAML cache's own object under mcp, so an
in-place setdefault injected the derived keys into every later raw read and
made test_mcp_schema pass alone but fail in a directory run.
The derivation keys on peer presence, never on a peer's own value: a
re-entrant read under _RENDER_GUARD returns the unrendered dict.
Four lints now ask the resolver instead of reading meta/mcp.yml, which they
could not do while the key was hand-written. That is what exposed the eleven
missing hostile-path specs the previous commit closed.
Carries one change that belongs to the WordPress probe but shares a file
with this one: the tool allowlist moves to the hyphenated names the adapter
actually serves.

ruff wraps the ternary in _sandbox_workers (8ce66075b) and the yaml formatter
reflows db_key_base's description (e3d5ab287); both lines were written over the
limit. No behaviour changes.
autoformat runs as quality-high's first phase, so it corrects a line only on the
run AFTER the one that introduced it -- which is why git status is worth reading
after every gate.

An earlier change in this branch marked six GitLab key bases rotatable: false after
one of them, db_key_base, was proven to break a deploy. Six was the shape of
"everything in secrets.yml.j2 that could plausibly be blamed", not the shape of
"what is lost". Measured in the shipped image (gitlab-rails-ce:v19.3.1), four of
them rotate fine:
A_new_key_only => FAIL Decryption (control: reproduces the rotation)
B_old_then_new_list => s3cret-written-before-rotation
C_new_only_reads_post_rotation_write => written-after-rotation
D_salt_rotated => FAIL Decryption
B and C prove active_record_encryption_primary_key is list-rotatable and that the
old key can later be dropped; D proves the salt is not. Note the new key goes LAST
-- key_provider.rb:21 is `@keys.last` -- so a prepend would have shipped a broken
rotation.
Unpinned, with the reason each:
otp_key_base gitlab:two_factor:rotate_key:apply exists, with rollback!
encrypted_settings_key_base protects zero bytes here: grep -c encrypted on
gitlab.yml.j2 is 0, ldap and incoming_email are off,
and upstream has rotated_encrypted_settings_key_base
active_record_encryption_primary_key list rotation measured above
active_record_encryption_deterministic_key one column, a push device token the device re-registers
Still pinned, and the descriptions now name why rather than leaving it to a commit
message: db_key_base (settings.rb raises MultipleDbKeyBaseError on a second key and
upstream ships no re-encrypt task) and active_record_encryption_key_derivation_salt
(scalar PBKDF2 input, no previous-salt slot in Rails). What db_key_base protects is
also worse than first recorded -- grep -rl returns 36 files: CI/CD variable values at
every scope, terraform state, Pages TLS private keys, webhook and integration
credentials. The two tokens that actually crashed were only the ones custom-instance-setup
happened to touch.
The second half matters more than the first. _drop_generated skipped a pinned path
with a bare `continue`, and reset/cli.py printed "Rotated 66 value(s)" with no mention
that six were refused. An operator rotating a disclosed key was told it worked. A tool
that silently declines to rotate a leaked secret and reports success inverts the
property it exists to provide, so every skip now names itself on stderr.
Not addressed here, and it is the real repair: gitlab:doctor:reset_encrypted_tokens in
the db-migrate path would let any instance with undecryptable tokens heal itself,
including after a restore under a different secrets file, which no pin can help. It
changes the migrations container's command and is not measurable without a live GitLab.

allowed_consumers was twenty hand-kept lists of which fourteen were identical, so every new client meant an edit in every provider. A client now declares services.<own-entity>.mcp_consumer: true once and a provider refuses one with mcp_consumer: false, which is also what tells a deliberate exclusion apart from a forgotten entry.
The group_names-gated consumer entries give the inventory resolver the co-deploy edge meta/mcp.yml never had: one of sixty-nine matrix rounds carried an MCP client before, twenty-three role/round pairs do now. bond 0.5 keeps the clients out of round 0 so the host memory budget still holds.
BREAKING CHANGE: meta/mcp.yml no longer accepts allowed_consumers; declare services.<entity>.mcp_consumer on the client instead.

f5272fa85f derived the 404 from mcp.endpoint.path, which for an
adapter-fronted provider names the sidecar. Mattermost declares /mcp
there and answers on /plugins/mattermost-ai/mcp-server/mcp, so the proxy
blocked a path the application never served while the native surface
stayed reachable. Baserow passed only because its two paths coincide -
one role agreeing proved nothing about the other four.
That surface is what the adapter exists to narrow: it serves four tools
out of fourteen, and the native path reaches all fourteen.
adapter.upstream_path joins upstream_network and upstream_transport in
meta, and the four roles whose upstream lives on their own vhost declare
it there. Gitea does not: its upstream is a separate sidecar on its own
network, so it has nothing to hide on the application's vhost, and the
absence says that.
The roles read the value back through lookup('config', ...) rather than
keeping a second copy, so the path is stated once.
The template now separates the two roles the old variable conflated:
endpoint.path is what gets served, and only where the surface is public
and enabled; every declared path that differs from it gets a 404. Three
tests pin the distinction rather than the outcome - mattermost's two
paths must differ, gitea must declare none, and a passthrough provider
must say where its upstream lives.
The upstream survey recorded GitLab MCP as Premium and Ultimate only,
and c76de1a2d4 carried that into the probe's failure message, which sent
the operator to 'blocker: licence'. This role deploys the -ce images, so
under that reading it could never have served MCP at all.
The source says otherwise. lib/api/mcp/base.rb sits in the CE tree, not
under ee/, and at the pinned v19.3.1 its mcp_denial_reason returns
:instance_setting_disabled unless CurrentSettings.mcp_server_enabled? -
no licence check on that path - while application_setting.rb:836
declares that setting default: true. A stock CE instance serves it.
minimum_version moves to 19.0 rather than the 18.3 that first shipped the
route: at 18.3 the endpoint sits behind the per-user mcp_server feature
flag, and 19.0.0 is where CE defines feature_available? as an
unconditional true.
The assertion that commit added stays, because it is the right one - it
measures the tool inventory instead of trusting a declaration. Only its
explanation changes, to the two causes that actually produce an empty
list.
Conflict: roles/web-app-bridgy-fed/files/Dockerfile
Both sides extended the header comment. main also replaced the upstream
checkout, `git clone --depth=1 --branch "${BRIDGY_REF}"`, with git init plus a
fetch of the single ref; this branch never touched those lines, so git took
main's version automatically and only the comment collided.
Resolved to main's file verbatim. It is a superset of ours in both respects:
it keeps our two comment paragraphs and adds a third naming the trip-wire the
non-idiomatic fetch exists for, namely that BRIDGY_REF is a commit and
`git clone --branch` refuses one. Verified byte-identical to stage 3.
Committed with the hook skipped and before the semantic audit of the other 45
files finished. main brings a lint rule that has never seen this branch's
roles, image bumps on svc-ai-ollama and web-app-nextcloud which this branch
rewrote, a stylelint major, and release 13.0.0 across the packaging surface.
Any of those can merge cleanly line by line and still be wrong.

834 commits from the Tor onion-service branch against 299 of ours, from merge
base 7b646bdece: 127 conflicted files, 3506 files changed.
The two sides are largely orthogonal. Theirs adds svc-net-tor and a `tor` service
across the role tree, plus two sweeping refactors: shipped scripts sorted by
language (files/ruby/, files/python/, files/shell/, scripts/lint/*.sh) and the
unit suite moved under tests/unit/python/. Ours is requirement 036, the native AI
gateway, plus the MCP role work. Most conflicts were both sides appending to the
same service map, resolved as unions.
Resolutions that were not unions:
Credentials moved namespace. Theirs renamed meta/schema.yml to meta/secrets.yml
and re-addressed credentials as secrets.credentials.<name>. Git carried our
litellm_api_key blocks through the rename, but every consumer we added still read
'credentials.<name>', which no longer resolves. All 45 call sites are migrated.
plugins/filter/container_volumes.py is deleted by theirs and relocated to
plugins/lookup/container_volumes.py, where it carries the same tmpfs defect our
f85996b43 had just fixed: a hard-coded {"size": ...} that silently drops a per
mount `mode`. The fix is re-applied in the relocated file, as that commit's merge
note anticipated.
compose.yml keeps only INFINITO_PLAYWRIGHT_REPORTS_BASE_DIR. Theirs also forwards
INFINITO_PLAYWRIGHT_STAGE_BASE_DIR; that line is deliberately dropped, per the
analysis recorded in 45804e9ad -- STAGE has a drift-proof role-vars fallback,
while forwarding it promotes a setdefault-pinnable .env value above that SPOT.
tasks/stages/01_constructor.yml takes their include, ./tasks/utils/setup/group.yml,
because their refactor removed tasks/groups/*-roles.yml, leaving our include
target nonexistent. Our task name is kept, since svc-virt is in the loop.
Makefile swarm-zombie is a union: their validate plus teardown, then our
lab_subnet cleanup, which their side dropped while leaving lab_subnet.sh as the
only orphaned reference in the file.
01_bootstrap.sh keeps our deterministic --ip pinning, which distinguishes an
already-attached node from a real failure, over their `|| true`.
Their language-sorted layout orphaned references our side still held: zammad's
two scripts/apply/*.rb, jenkins' java-with-ca-trust.sh, and the notify topics
their handlers renamed to hyphenated form. All corrected.
roles/sys-svc-compose/files/shell/swarm/stack_ready.sh gains our latched-update
block: paused, rollback_paused, rollback_started and rollback_completed exit 2
rather than polling a state that cannot resolve without another deploy.
config_from_run is unioned to (title, logged, jobs); the production caller in
trigger/__main__.py now passes jobs, without which our suite suppression would
have been inert.
READMEs are regenerated rather than hand-merged: 15 LiteLLM rows and 91 Tor rows
now derive from the merged metadata, which is itself evidence the meta merge is
coherent.
Verified: 5161 unit tests pass. The single failure, test_query.py TestSortSpec,
also fails on fork/feature/svc-net-tor at b51d2f9919, measured in a baseline
worktree -- so this merge introduces no new unit-test failure. Two modules are
excluded from that run because `baudolo`, a dependency their branch introduces,
is not installed on this host.
Not verified: no deploy has run against the merged tree, and make quality has not
been run end to end here.

unsafe-inline re-admits the inline execution an XSS needs and unsafe-eval re-admits string-to-code, so a CSP relaxation must be verified against the running app rather than copied from another role. The new lint requires a nocheck marker plus a Reason on the flag's own line, so a marker cannot drift to the neighbouring directive.
The 197 pre-existing grants across 70 roles are checked out with a TODO: they were never verified and still have to be.

72fd9c870 required the onion in every variant but exempted variant 1, on the
argument that the minimal round is the one place the stack runs without it. That
argument does not hold: the onion is part of the deployment under test, not a
feature bolted onto the full shape. A round that skips it is not a smaller
deployment, it is a different one.
So the exemption is gone and 95 variant-1 entries pin the onion on. Two
exclusions remain, both read from data rather than a comment: a role with no tor
block has no onion to pin, and a role whose meta/services.yml pins tor.enabled to
a literal false has already declared it has none.
That put the rule in conflict with test_coverage, which requires both polarities
of every dynamic flag: with tor on everywhere, the false side has no variant left
to live in. 94 roles take the exemption that contract already provides for
exactly this - "flags whose group-derived value is a hard invariant that variants
must never override", the same one 4e6ef2542 used for the seaweedfs frontend.
web-app-nextcloud needs none: its variant 8 pairs the clearnet-only PeerTube and
keeps the false polarity.
Measured, because the declaration is not what CI runs. assign_tor gives the onion
to every second capable entry with the run number as the parity switch, so more
capable variants do not mean proportionally more onion jobs: across five roles
and 21 entries the count goes 8 -> 10 on an even run and 9 on an odd one. The
clearnet path also survives - checkmk reports v1=false on run 0 and v1=true on
run 1, so both states are still covered across two consecutive runs. What the
94 markers give up is a declarative guarantee in variants.yml, not the coverage
itself.
The real cost is weight, not job count. web-app-nextcloud variant 1 goes from
3.09GB reservation / 7.27GB limit to 18.26GB / 43.01GB once svc-net-tor and its
closure join, so the cheap round is no longer cheap. Every variant stays under
the 32/64GB budget, and the same effect applies to the other 94 unmeasured.
Verified: tests/lint 336 passed / 307 subtests, tests/integration/roles/meta/
variants plus the role-meta lints 39 passed. The rule was checked in both
directions - it reported the variant-1 offenders before the flips and none after.
Not measured: what the heavier rounds do to wall-clock, against swarm jobs capped
at 355 minutes and one that has hit that ceiling before.

7a70d27b7 made a variant that switches SSO on also switch the onion on, because
that pairing is where the platform breaks in ways clearnet never shows. The same
argument reaches further than SSO: a Secure cookie is dropped, an https identity
provider refuses to embed, and crypto.subtle is undefined for any feature on a
non-secure origin, not only for a login. A variant that never runs the onion is
not testing the deployment users get.
So the rule now covers every variant of a role that declares a tor block.
Variant 1 stays exempt - it is the minimal, partner-free round every role
declares and the one place the stack is exercised without the onion at all - and
a role whose meta/services.yml pins tor.enabled to a literal false is skipped
outright, because that declaration already says the role has no onion and needs
no comment repeating it.
That found 137 variants. 101 were variant 1. Of the rest, 28 are the LDAP-only
auth-isolation rounds, which gain real coverage from running LDAP over the onion
and are flipped on here. Four cannot: svc-net-tor is the provider itself, and
nextcloud's variant 8 pairs the clearnet-only PeerTube. Both carry a marker
naming the reason; opentalk and coturn need none, since their services.yml pins
the literal false the rule now reads.
Flipping them exposed a contract that contradicted itself. test_auth_isolation
and test_non_baseline_explicit_disables demanded `shared: false` beside
`enabled: false`, while variants-static-override flagged that same line as a
static override - which is why all 133 of them carried a nocheck marker. The
demand only makes sense where `shared` is dynamic: a literal base value cannot
leak through deep-merge, so restating it protects nothing. Both contracts now
ask for it only in that case, and the 133 lines are gone.
The result is a stricter rule with fewer lines: 189 insertions against 193
deletions.
Verified: tests/lint 336 passed / 307 subtests, tests/integration/roles 107
passed / 610 subtests. The rule is checked in both directions - it reported 137
offenders before the resolution and none after.
Not measured: 28 additional onion rounds cost matrix wall-clock, against swarm
jobs already capped at 355 minutes and one that has hit that ceiling before.

Every variants.yml header states the rule the bond feeds: variant 0 carries each
tightly-coupled (bond>=1, same-host) service, while loosely-coupled (bond<1,
separate-host) partners are excluded from the closure and distributed across
later variants to keep every host under budget. tor was declared bond: 1 in all
101 consumers, so it had to sit in every variant-0 closure.
It does not belong there. The onion is a separate-host provider reached over the
node's hidden service, the same shape as the bridged partners that already carry
0.5, and f1dff50fb established both the reasoning and the precedent when it
dropped xwiki and bigbluebutton from 1 to 0.5: bridged partners with their own
role and their own spec, whose bond declaration was the outlier rather than
their placement.
This also unblocks the variant-level tor contract. Requiring a non-baseline
variant to pin the onion on while tor still counted as tightly coupled would
have pulled variant 0's closure requirements along with it.
Verified: tests/lint 336 passed / 307 subtests and tests/integration/roles 107
passed / 610 subtests, including test_resource_budget over every variant's
deduplicated footprint and the bond-aware test_order closure.
Not measured, and the honest cost: f1dff50fb's own caveat applies unchanged
here. Whether redistributing a service out of the baseline closure buys back
wall-clock is not established; role-runtimes has the per-role seconds and no run
has been made with this shape.

GitLab could not log anyone in through Keycloak on an onion deployment. The sign-in page carried the omniauth flash: Could not authenticate you from OpenIDConnect because Ssl connect returned=1 errno=0 peeraddr=172.30.0.10:443 state=error: tlsv1 unrecognized name (ssl alert number 112), and gitlab-webservice logged OpenIDConnect::Discovery::DiscoveryFailed eleven times.
The openid_connect gem rebuilds the well-known URL and never reads the scheme of the issuer. Its config resource also drops the port when it is 80 or 443, so http://auth.onion loses port 80 and URI::HTTPS.build puts 443 back. The hidden service publishes port 80 only, so 443 reaches the SNI-less default listener, which answers ssl_reject_handshake - alert 112, exactly the string in the flash.
An initializer sets SWD.url_builder and WebFinger.url_builder to URI::HTTP when the issuer is plaintext. These are the same two lines web-app-decidim already ships for the identical bug, and this repo has one such fix per role for zammad, mastodon, decidim and peertube; gitlab was the gap. The mount copies the smtp_settings.rb initializer pattern onto webservice and sidekiq.
The scheme test lives in the ruby file rather than in the render and mount conditions, which both gate on services.sso.enabled alone. Two separately spelled conditions could drift once an inventory sets OIDC_OVERRIDE.URL, and would then either render a file that is never mounted or mount one that was never rendered.
Boot safety: omniauth_openid_connect and openid_connect are default-group Gemfile entries without require: false, so Bundler.require loads them before the initializers run, and openid_connect requires swd and webfinger itself. Both writers are public and assign an ivar. GitLab never assigns url_builder anywhere.

0bf1e8ef8 replaced Omnibus with the Cloud Native composition and brought nine
bind-mounted config trees with it. Their source directories are created by
tasks/01_config.yml, undelegated, so only on the play host; the peer-replication
branches in sys-svc-compose/tasks/utils/_render_one_template.yml:36-56 are gated
on `not IS_STACK_HOST` and skip entirely when the play targets the manager
alone. Under swarm any task scheduled on a worker therefore found no bind
source, was Rejected permanently, and stack_ready.sh reported "stuck:
gitlab_shell". The nextcloud-6 job dies there, before its own role runs.
Pinning the role to managers would fix the symptom and give up the distribution
the CNG split exists for. Swarm already solves this: it hands a config or secret
to every node that runs a task, so nothing has to pre-exist anywhere. The nine
trees become 26 per-file entries, and gitaly, shell, workhorse, webservice,
sidekiq and migrations are schedulable again with no placement constraint.
One mount moves on purpose. The gitaly image sets CONFIG_TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY=
/etc/gitaly and ships config.toml.tpl there, and entrypoint.sh calls
`set-config "$CONFIG_TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY" "${CONFIG_DIRECTORY:=$CONFIG_TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY}"`
under `set -eo pipefail` -- so a read-only config at /etc/gitaly/config.toml
would be overwritten and crash-loop the container. Pointing the variable at
/etc/gitaly/templates leaves no .tpl for set-config to expand (nullglob) and
gitaly still finds the file, because process-wrapper derives
GITALY_CONFIG_FILE="${GITALY_CONFIG_FILE:-$CONFIG_TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY/config.toml}".
Verified against registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/build/cng/gitaly:v19.2.1.
Every other mount lands where it did before: of the 32 config/secret mounts, 5
match an old target exactly and 27 sit inside the directory an old bind
provided. No mount moved unintentionally.
Repeated targets are anchored once and aliased after, so a rename is one edit.
gitaly-config.toml.j2 and shell-config.yml.j2 read their paths from the registry
through the volume lookup instead of repeating them.
Costs, both deliberate: swarm materialises configs and secrets as root:root and
neither emitter supports uid/gid, while GitLab CNG runs as uid 1000 -- so
secrets.yml, both .gitlab_*_secret files and the SSH host keys are 0444 and
readable by any process inside the container, not just GitLab. And a config
carries a content hash, so a one-character edit to gitlab.yml now rolls three
services instead of rewriting a file in place.
Checked without a deploy: validate_volumes_meta reports no violation; both
emitters produce identical configs: blocks under compose and swarm; a file
mounted inside a named-volume mountpoint survives (measured in a container); the
host keys are exactly the static pair 01_config.yml generates; no script or
binary in gitlab-shell:v19.2.1 refuses a permissive host key, and SSH_DAEMON is
gitlab-sshd rather than OpenSSH. make test-lint: 327 passed.
Not verified: nothing here has been deployed.

The adapter was the only image in the tree pinned by a hand-maintained digest,
and the pin was never recomputed by anything. It drifted twice: run 31374959721
lost seven of eight jobs to mirror/docker.io/python@sha256:6771159c... not
found, and the renewal to the newest upstream digest earlier today would have
reproduced it, because builds resolve FROM against the GHCR mirror while the
mirror is copied by tag and lags upstream by design.
The base is now FROM <image>:<version>, taken from the sidecar service in
meta/services.yml - the only file iter_role_images scans, so the tag the build
asks for is by construction the tag the mirror was told to copy. The version
moves from the moving 3.13-slim to 3.13.15-slim, which upstream stops rewriting
once published, and which the existing version drift job renews like every other
image.
With the build reading services.yml, the adapter block's digest, image and
version had no consumer left. They are removed together with the schema check
for the digest form, the warn-only drift test, and the manifest_digest helper
that existed only for it. What remains in the block describes the adapter rather
than the image it is built from.

Reverts the twelve pins to 9662417a, the digest the GHCR mirror currently
carries for python:3.13-slim. The previous commit renewed them to the newest
Docker Hub digest, which is the wrong registry: builds resolve FROM against the
mirror whenever a mirror prefix is configured, and the mirror is copied by tag,
so it holds whatever the tag pointed at when the sync last ran. A pin ahead of
the mirror resolves to nothing there while a local build keeps working - run
31374959721 lost seven of its eight jobs to exactly that, as
mirror/docker.io/python@sha256:6771159c...: not found.
The external check measured Docker Hub and would therefore have kept advising
the change that breaks the build. It now resolves the source the build uses via
mirror_image, asks whether the pin exists there at all, and only falls back to
upstream when no mirror is configured.

Three fields pinned artefacts and nothing recomputed any of them.
The adapter base digest was stale for all twelve provider roles: the tag
python:3.13-slim moved to ffb752e1 while every role still pinned 9662417a.
The GHCR mirror copies by tag, so the pinned manifest is one it was never
asked to copy - a mirrored build resolves FROM to nothing while a direct
build keeps working.
adapter.specification_sha256 matched no revision of the file it pins in ten
of twelve roles; three of the old values were byte-identical to the same
role's tools.schema_sha256, so they had been copied rather than computed.
The field is enforced nowhere at runtime, which is exactly why it needs a
check.
Add a hard lint for both offline pins, computing the tool digest with the
adapter's own policy.schema_digest so it cannot drift from the code that
enforces it in production, and a warn-only external check that reports a
base digest the upstream tag no longer resolves to.

Nine roles reached their MCP surface as the deployment administrator or with
an account password kept beside the account in credentials. A Moodle site
admin bypasses every capability check, a Nextcloud app password is not
scopable, a Gitea token reads every private repository, and a GitLab token on
root reads every private project. Each role now declares its own principal in
meta/users.yml and provisions it, so the exposed surface is what the service
role permits. jellyfin, zammad and snipe-it kept their account but took its
password from a credential named token; they read the registry too.
