- add explicit wait task for Mailu DB initialization (domain table)
- fail fast with last 300 lines of admin container logs if schema is missing
- prevent race condition between container startup and user creation
- rename manage_user task to keep execution order explicit

Refactor proxy/webserver configuration variables to a consistent webserver_* naming scheme across roles. Replace legacy variables like proxy_extra_configuration, client_max_body_size, vhost_flavour, location_ws and ws_port with webserver_extra_configuration, webserver_client_max_body_size, webserver_vhost_flavour, webserver_websocket_location and webserver_websocket_port. Update NGINX vhost and location templates (html, upload, ws, basic, ws_generic) as well as callers (sys-front-inj-all, sys-stk-front-proxy, various web-app-* and web-svc-* roles) to use the new naming.
Tighten docker-compose Git repository handling by making docker_git_repository_pull depend on docker_git_repository_address being defined, a string and non-empty. This avoids accidental Git operations when the repository address is unset or of the wrong type.
Refactor the BigBlueButton role structure and fix deployment bugs: introduce 01_core.yml to orchestrate docker/proxy setup, database seeding, websocket map deployment, docker-compose overrides and admin/bootstrap logic in a single once-executed entrypoint. Rename supporting task files (02_docker-compose.yml, 03_administrator.yml, 04_dependencies.yml) and update tasks/main.yml to delegate via include_tasks with run_once_web_app_bigbluebutton. Improve Greenlight admin creation behavior by treating the 'Email has already been taken' error as a non-fatal, unchanged outcome and running user:set_admin_role as a fallback, both for the primary password and the OIDC starred-password path.
Also standardize vhost flavour selection for services like Mailu, Discourse, CDN, Collabora, Coturn, OnlyOffice, Simpleicons and web-svc-logout by explicitly passing webserver_vhost_flavour where needed and aligning client_max_body_size and websocket configuration with the new webserver_* variables.

This commit updates multiple roles to ensure compatibility with Ansible 2.20.
Several include paths and task-loading mechanisms required adjustments,
as Ansible 2.20 applies stricter evaluation rules for complex Jinja expressions
and no longer resolves certain relative include paths the way Ansible 2.18 did.
Key changes:
- Replaced legacy once_finalize.yml and once_flag.yml with the new structure
under tasks/utils/once/finalize.yml and tasks/utils/once/flag.yml.
- Updated all include_tasks statements to use 'path_join' with playbook_dir,
ensuring deterministic and absolute file resolution across roles.
- Fixed all network helper includes by converting direct relative paths such as
'roles/docker-compose/tasks/utils/network.yml' to proper Jinja-evaluated paths.
- Normalized MATOMO_* variable names for consistency with the updated variable
scope behavior in Ansible 2.20.
- Removed deprecated patterns that were implicitly supported in Ansible 2.18
but break under the more strict variable and path resolution model in 2.20.
These changes are part of the full migration step required to ensure the
infinito-nexus roles remain stable, deterministic, and forward-compatible with
Ansible 2.20.

- Replace legacy utils/run_once.yml with the new helpers utils/once_flag.yml and utils/once_finalize.yml
- Introduce utils/compose_up.yml to ensure docker-compose stacks are up and to flush handlers safely without coupling to run-once flags
- Migrate all affected roles (desk-*, dev-*, sys-ctl-*, sys-svc-*, web-app-*, web-svc-*, util-*) to the new run-once helpers
- Rework sys-svc-msmtp to auto-load Mailu once per deploy, check reachability, and reuse the running stack instead of requiring multiple playbook passes
- Adjust web-app-mailu to integrate cert deployment, handler flushing, and run-once handling so Mailu is fully initialized in a single deploy
- Improve Matomo, CDN, logout and CSP/health-check related roles to cooperate with the new compose_up / once_* pattern
- Simplify alarm/backup/timer/service orchestration (sys-ctl-alm-*, sys-bkp-provider, sys-timer-cln-bkps, etc.) by moving run-once logic into dedicated 01_core.yml files
- Update integration tests so utils/once_flag.yml and utils/once_finalize.yml are recognised as valid run-once providers, keeping the global run_once_* guarantees consistent
- Align frontend injection and service dependencies so Mastodon- and Mailu-related services can be brought up coherently within a single deployment cycle rather than several iterations
• Rename: 02_create-user.yml → 02_manage_user.yml; 03_create-token.yml → 03a_manage_user_token.yml + 03b_create_user_token.yml
• Only (re)run sys-svc-msmtp when no-reply token exists; set run_once_sys_svc_msmtp=true in 01_core
• Reset by setting run_once_sys_svc_msmtp=false after creating no-reply token; then include sys-svc-msmtp
• Harden when-guards (no '{{ }}' in when, safe .get lookups)
• Minor formatting and failed_when readability

- Added 'solo' flag support for A/AAAA, CNAME/MX/TXT, and SRV records in sys-dns-cloudflare-records.
- Simplified sys-svc-dns: removed NS management tasks and CLOUDFLARE_NAMESERVERS default.
- Renamed 03_apex.yml back to 02_apex.yml, adjusted AAAA task name.
- Updated web-app-bluesky DNS tasks: marked critical records with 'solo'.
- Updated web-app-mailu DNS tasks: removed cleanup block, enforced 'solo' on all records.
- Adjusted constructor stage to call domain_mappings with AUTO_BUILD_ALIASES parameter.

- Add sys-svc-dns defaults for CLOUDFLARE_NAMESERVERS
- Introduce 02_nameservers.yml for NS cleanup + enforce, adjust task ordering (apex now 03_apex.yml)
- Enforce quoting for Bluesky and Mailu TXT records

- Improved get_service_name filter plugin (clearer suffix handling, consistent var names).
- Added MODE_ASSERT flag to optionally execute validation/assertion tasks.
- Fixed systemd unit handling: consistent use of %I instead of %i, correct escaping of instance names.
- Unified on_failure behavior and alarm composer scripts.
- Cleaned up redundant logging, handlers, and debug config.
- Strengthened sys-service template resolution with assert (only active when MODE_ASSERT).
- Simplified timer and suffix handling with get_service_name filter.
- Hardened sensitive tasks with no_log.
- Added conditional asserts across roles (Keycloak, DNS, Mailu, Discourse, etc.).
These changes improve consistency, safety, and validation across the automation stack.

This commit restructures systemctl service definitions and category mappings.
Motivation: Alarm-related bugs revealed inconsistencies in service and role handling.
Preparation step: lays the groundwork for fixing the alarm issues by aligning categories, roles, and service templates.
- Enabled central_database in Mailu config
- Improved API token creation task:
* use curl -f to fail on HTTP errors
* added explicit failed_when and changed_when conditions
- Adjusted docker-compose template spacing for readability
- Made logging level configurable (DEBUG when MODE_DEBUG is set)
- Added new documentation Move_Domain.md explaining safe procedure for migrating mailboxes to a new domain
- replaced CERTBOT_DNS_API_TOKEN with CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN everywhere
- introduced generic sys-dns-cloudflare-records role for managing DNS records
- added sys-dns-hetzner-rdns role with both Cloud (hcloud) and Robot API flavors
- updated Mailu role to:
- generate DKIM before DNS setup
- delegate DNS + rDNS records to the new generic roles
- removed legacy per-role Cloudflare vars (MAILU_CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN)
- extended group vars with HOSTING_PROVIDER for rDNS flavor decision
- added hetzner.hcloud collection to requirements
This consolidates DNS management into reusable roles,
supports both Cloudflare and Hetzner providers,
and standardizes variable naming across the project.
- Standardize async/poll usage with 'ASYNC_ENABLED | bool'
- Add async/poll parameters to Cloudflare, Nginx, Mailu, MIG, Nextcloud, and OpenLDAP tasks
- Update async configuration in 'group_vars/all/00_general.yml' to ensure boolean evaluation
- Allow CAA, cache, and DNS tasks to run asynchronously when enabled
