Replace literal `enabled: true / shared: true` flags across every
roles/*/meta/services.yml with a Jinja `"{{ '<role>' in group_names }}"`
form so the per-role services map becomes the single source of truth
for shared-service co-deployment, on a per-host basis. Inventory build
already runs through the templar before reaching the static `is True`
check, so runtime behaviour is unchanged; the new form only opens up
static-analysis and CLI tooling to the group-aware semantics.
Mechanism + lint:
- New integration test tests/integration/roles/meta/test_services_
dynamic_flags.py enforces the dynamic shape per top-level service
entry. Registered service keys must reference the registry-resolved
provider role; covered keys (e.g. oauth2 -> web-app-keycloak via
the new `covers:` block) reference the covering role.
- Two suppression placements documented in docs/contributing/actions/
testing/suppression.md: per-flag inline `# nocheck: dynamic-flag`
for databases (`enabled: true` stays literal, `shared` resolves
dynamically) and block-level above the key for entries whose both
flags legitimately stay literal (`css`, `javascript`, role-local
`redis`, `recaptcha`, `hcaptcha`, role-local containers with
`shared: false`).
Registry + helpers:
- utils/service_registry.py: new `is_explicit_truth(value)` helper
accepts `True` literal OR a Jinja string carrying `in group_names`.
Adopted by `resolve_service_dependency_roles_from_config`,
`ServicesResolver._is_enabled_shared`, `test_web_app_email_
integration`, `test_prometheus`, `test_universal_logout`, and the
run_after-explicit guard so static analysis keeps resolving deps.
- New `covers:` field on a primary service entity declares
transitive equivalents (web-app-keycloak.covers: [oauth2]).
Exposed via `build_role_to_covered_keys` and
`build_covered_key_to_role`, replacing the previously hard-coded
`_TRANSITIVE_SERVICE_EQUIVALENTS` / `_SPECIAL_REFERENCE_ROLE` maps
in the run_after and dynamic-flag tests.
Bulk migration:
- All 80 roles/*/meta/services.yml files migrated to the dynamic
form. DB consumer keys (mariadb, postgres, ldap) keep
`enabled: true # nocheck: dynamic-flag` literal with a dynamic
`shared`. Block-nocheck applied to css/javascript/recaptcha/
hcaptcha and role-local containers (e.g. mailu's admin/imap/smtp/
antispam/antivirus/oletools/webdav/fetchmail/webmail/resolver/
front, nextcloud's talk).
- web-app-prometheus's primary entity now declares
`provides: prometheus` + dynamic flags so the registry recognises
it as a service provider. Consequence: tasks/01_core.yml split out
with `- include_tasks: utils/once/flag.yml` as the first task and
tasks/main.yml reduced to the standard run_once-guarded loader.
- Seven minimal no-login apps (web-app-hugo, -bridgy-fed, -chess,
-littlejs, -navigator, -mini-qr, -mig) gained an explicit
`logout: { enabled: false, shared: false }` opt-out (with
`# nocheck: dynamic-flag` block-marker) to satisfy the universal-
logout schema check.

req-011 — descriptive role-level metadata
* Move logo / homepage / video / display out of
meta/main.yml.galaxy_info into a new project-owned
roles/<role>/meta/info.yml (file-root convention, no `info:` wrapper).
* 78 role meta/main.yml files migrated via ruamel round-trip
(key-order / quoting / inline-comments preserved). Roles with none
of the four fields are left untouched (no empty info.yml created).
* web-app-dashboard/lookup_plugins/docker_cards.py reads logo +
display from meta/info.yml; description / galaxy_tags continue to
come from galaxy_info (Galaxy-spec fields).
* docker_cards.py now routes ALL its file reads through the
process-wide caches: load_yaml_any for vars/main.yml,
meta/main.yml, meta/info.yml; read_text from utils.cache.files for
README.md. The orphan `import yaml` is gone.
New utils/cache/files (renamed from tests/utils/fs)
* The process-wide filesystem cache (read_text, iter_project_files,
iter_project_files_with_content, _all_project_files) is not
test-specific; it now lives under utils/cache/files.py next to the
other process-wide caches. 34 consumer imports rewritten across
tests/ and docs/. The empty tests/utils/ package is removed.
* New unit suite tests/unit/utils/cache/test_files.py — 12 cases
covering read_text, iter_project_files (skip-dirs, extensions,
exclude_tests, exclude_dirs, walk-cache invariants), the combined
iterator, non-UTF-8 silent skip, and _reset.
utils/cache redundancy cleanup
* applications.py + users.py + cli/create/inventory/services_disabler.py
drop their direct yaml.safe_load calls and their private
_load_yaml_mapping/_load_yaml_variant_list copies; everything routes
through utils.cache.yaml.load_yaml / load_yaml_any. The dead
utils.cache.base._load_yaml_mapping is removed.
* users.py:_load_store_users (tokens.yml read) likewise migrated.
* _load_yaml_variant_list moves out of base.py to applications.py
(its only consumer) and is renamed _load_variants_overrides — also
routes through the cached loader now.
* utils.cache.yaml._reset_cache_for_tests is renamed _reset (kept as
alias) for parity with the per-domain reset helpers.
* utils.cache.files grows a _reset() that clears its two LRU caches.
* utils.cache.__init__._reset_cache_for_tests now orchestrates ALL
six caches (applications, users, domains, base, yaml, files) so
tests get clean state across cache layers — needed because
applications/users now share the yaml cache and would otherwise
serve stale parses across reset boundaries.
* utils.cache.files imports PROJECT_ROOT from base instead of
redefining it.
* tests/unit/utils/cache/test_data.py + test_base.py: obsolete
TestLoadYamlMapping / TestLoadYamlVariantList classes deleted
(covered by test_yaml.py + test_variants.py).
* README.md updated for the new module list (files, yaml) and the
six-module orchestrator.
Galaxy schema lint
* tests/lint/repository/test_role_meta_main_galaxy_schema.py: split
galaxy_info field requirements into hard-required {author,
description, license} and soft-recommended {min_ansible_version,
platforms}. Soft-recommended -> emit a GitHub Actions ::warning::
annotation via utils.annotations.message.warning (titled
"meta/main.yml galaxy_info" with file= pointing at the offender),
no test failure. Rationale: min_ansible_version + platforms are
only enforced by Galaxy when *publishing*, which Infinito.Nexus
does not do.
* Galaxy lint goes green (was 226 offenders before req-011 +
license_url/repository/documentation strip; was 62 before this
relaxation; now 0 hard offenders, 62 soft warnings).
* roles/svc-opt-keyboard-color/meta/main.yml: backfill `license`
(only role missing the hard-required field).
New lint
* tests/lint/repository/test_role_meta_info.py — enforces meta/info.yml
file-root convention, the four-field allowlist (logo, homepage,
video, display), and shape (logo.class string, homepage/video
non-empty strings, display bool). Also fails if any
meta/main.yml.galaxy_info still carries one of the four migrated
fields.
Docs
* docs/contributing/design/services/layout.md: new section
"Descriptive Role-Level Metadata — meta/info.yml" with allowed-
fields table, optionality rule, materialised path, and consumer
note. File-Layout table grows the meta/info.yml row;
meta/main.yml row gets the explicit "no logo/homepage/video/display"
note. req-011 added to header and Related Pages.
* utils/cache/README.md: files.py + yaml.py rows added; six-module
reset orchestrator documented.
Validation
* Unit: 1573 passed.
* Lint: 55 passed.
* Integration: 161 passed (1 skipped) via pre-commit hook.

These three sub-keys lived under `galaxy_info:` purely as a workaround
because Galaxy silently ignores unknown keys (same pattern as the
`run_after` / `lifecycle` migration in req-010). The new lint
`tests/lint/repository/test_role_meta_main_galaxy_schema.py` rejects
them, and no consumer in `plugins/`, `utils/`, `cli/`, `filter_plugins/`
or `roles/` reads any of them, so the strip is safe.
Round-trip via ruamel.yaml so the remaining `galaxy_info:` block keeps
its key order, quoting style and inline comments.
224 files touched. Remaining lint offenders after this commit are still
present (`logo`, `homepage`, `video`, plus a handful of roles missing
required Galaxy fields like `min_ansible_version` / `platforms` /
`license`); those are a separate decision and not folded into this
change.

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}.

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.

- 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
as the single source of truth for service discovery
- Add utils/database_service.py to centralize DB service resolution
- Delete service_load_enabled filter and service_should_load lookup;
replaced by service lookup plugin
- Update sys-utils-service-loader to run in constructor stage and use
generic load_service.yml; remove load_frontend_service.yml
- Add _service_loader_preloading guard to sys-svc-compose,
sys-svc-webserver-core and sys-ctl-alm-compose to prevent
health-checks/alarms from firing during preload phase
- Replace manual load_app.yml calls for shared DB/Mailu with assert-
based preload validation in sys-svc-rdbms and sys-svc-mail
- Update networks.yml.j2 templates to resolve LDAP/AI networks via
service_registry instead of hardcoded role names
- Migrate all tests to new service discovery API; delete obsolete tests
- Update docs/contributing/code/services.md to reflect role-local model

- Add 'email' key (role: web-app-mailu, type: frontend) to SERVICE_REGISTRY
- Declare compose.services.email with enabled: true and shared: true in all
33 app roles that reference web-app-mailu or use SYSTEM_EMAIL_* variables
- Add integration test test_mailu_service_dependency.py that enforces this
constraint for any future role additions
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add shared: true to logout, oauth2, and greenlight services wherever
enabled: true was set without a shared declaration
- Add # noqa: shared comment before role-local internal containers
(redis, worker, web, opensearch, search) that are intentionally
not shared
- Add missing enabled: false to ollama in svc-ai-ollama (shared was
declared without enabled, violating the new consistency rule)
- Add integration test test_service_shared_consistency to enforce:
Rule 1: enabled=true requires shared=true or a # noqa: shared comment
Rule 2: shared key requires enabled key to be present

Adds 'asset' service key in 20_services.yml pointing to web-svc-asset so
it is loaded via 01_services.yml when needed. Sets asset: enabled: false,
shared: true in web-svc-asset/config to avoid self-injection. Enables
asset: enabled+shared in dashboard, discourse, and listmonk — the three
roles that consume the asset server for logo/image URLs.

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:
The service key compose.services.desktop has been renamed to compose.services.dashboard.
All custom configs, inventories, or overrides must be updated accordingly.

- 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.
https://chatgpt.com/share/6987a7cc-d374-800f-99ad-bb4c8f92c59e
- Rename all docker-compose.yml templates to compose.yml
- Update override and CA override filenames accordingly
- Adjust compose wrapper, lookup plugins, filters and path helpers
- 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 hardcoded `docker compose {{ lookup('compose_file_args', ...) }}` usages
with `BIN_COMPOSE` across listmonk, mastodon, and snipe-it roles to centralize
compose invocation logic, ensure consistent override handling, and reduce
duplication.
Also align Snipe-IT admin tasks to dynamic user attributes and improve shell
robustness.

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.

- 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.
