HSTS max-age raised to one year.

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.

Snipe-IT v8.8.1 refuses any `login_remote_user_header_name` matching
`/^HTTP_/i`, so the configured `HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PREFERRED_USERNAME`
stopped minting sessions behind oauth2-proxy.
Apache in the image now copies `X-Forwarded-Preferred-Username` into
the server variable `INFINITO_SSO_USER`, and only when the request also
carries `X-Infinito-Sso-Proxy` equal to the new per-inventory
`sso_proxy_secret`; an empty secret keeps the bridge closed. openresty
sends that header on every proxied request, so a client reaching the
container directly cannot log in by forging the identity header. A
deploy-time check asserts both directions (forged 200, with secret 302).

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.

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.

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.

svc-ai-ollama 0.32.13->0.32.14, svc-bkp-volume-2-local's drill scratch alpine 3.21->3.24, penpot's frontend/backend/exporter 2.17.0->2.17.1 in lockstep because they speak one internal interface, prometheus alertmanager v0.33.1->v0.34.0, seaweedfs 4.41->4.42, semaphore v2.19.7->v2.19.8, snipe-it v8.7.0->v8.7.1-alpine.
Declared only - none of these images was pulled or started. alertmanager is the sole minor bump and the one whose configuration could break; the alpine jump spans three releases but carries only the drill's find -delete and ls -A, which the next drill run exercises anyway.

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.

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.

meta/schema.yml held credential definitions and their runtime values, but the
name said 'schema' and read like structural metadata next to services.yml and
volumes.yml. Nothing in the file is a schema in the sense the other meta files
use the word, and a contributor had to open it to learn it holds secrets.
62 role files renamed. ROLE_FILE_META_SCHEMA becomes ROLE_FILE_META_SECRETS and
keeps its role as the SPOT the path is built from.
Two readers bypassed that constant and spelled the name themselves:
utils/cache/applications.py built meta_dir / 'schema.yml' twice, and
plugins/lookup/application_gid.py carries the filename in the marker list it
detects application roles by. Left behind, the rename would not have raised —
credentials would have resolved empty and the role would have stopped counting
as an application.

22 commits, mostly dependabot and docker image-version bumps, plus two fixes:
5153f3030 loads keycloak-js 26 as an ES module, 87a053518 makes the coredns
Corefile readable to the container user.
One conflict, in roles/web-app-dashboard/templates/javascript/oidc.js.j2, resolved
as a union because the two sides touched the same line for unrelated reasons.
edb96e9ae had hoisted the asset URL into KC_JS_ASSET_URL and rewrote it onto the
onion mirror; 5153f3030 changed the path to lib/keycloak.js and declared a local
Keycloak binding, since the adapter now arrives as a module default export instead
of a window global. The onion rewrite stays at the conflict site, the local binding
is kept because loadKeycloakAdapter returns the constructor rather than setting a
global, and the path change moved to the constant's definition.
An import() fetch always runs in CORS mode, which is why 5153f3030 gave the CDN
aca_origin. The onion route reaches the same asset through web-svc-mirror, whose
proxy.conf.j2 already sets that header, so the onion flavor needs no counterpart.
make quality green on the merge result: test-external, test-integration, test-lint,
test-unit.

The digest shipped with the digest-pinning change was a valid but
superseded python:3.13-slim index that no tag points at any more. CI
pulls through a mirror that only copies manifests reachable from the
tags it syncs, so that digest was absent there and every adapter build
failed to resolve its base image.
The replacement is the digest the tag carries today, which resolves both
upstream and through the mirror. Removing the digest instead would trip
the schema lint that requires one.
The metadata named infinito/mcp-adapter:1.0.0 with an all-zero digest,
an image that does not exist, while the build actually used
python:3.13-slim. Declaration and artifact disagreed, so the declaration
proved nothing. Both now name the real base image and pin it by digest,
which a tag cannot guarantee across a rebuild.
The adapter base moves from the provider's service version to
mcp.adapter.digest, alongside the tool specification and its checksum.
Being an MCP client was enough to join a provider's overlay, so a single
admission anywhere reached every provider that opened one. Attachment now
requires both that the role speaks as a client and that the provider
lists it in mcp.allowed_consumers.
consumer.kind accepts a list so one overlay can carry both its
service-flag consumers and its MCP clients, which is what the vector
store needs.
Ten provider roles served an MCP surface that other roles consume, but
were never declared as shared services, so the registry did not know
them. Declaring them pulls in the recursion contract every registry
service owes: seven roles move their entry tasks into tasks/00_core.yml
behind the run_once flag, so the service loader cannot include them a
second time.
pretix already had a run_once block, but set the flag last; the flag now
comes first, before the body it protects.
Ten applications with no MCP server of their own get one without a line of code
inside them: qdrant, checkmk, fider, jellyfin, listmonk, pretix, prometheus,
snipe-it, zammad and libretranslate.
The sidecar is confined rather than trusted. It runs read-only, drops every
capability, forbids privilege escalation, publishes no port and joins only its
own provider's network, carrying neither that provider's alias nor the consumer
networks the provider itself joined. Its tool surface is a JSON contract, not
code: which tools exist, which upstream path each maps to and what shape the
arguments take. Adding a tool is a line of JSON, not a new image.
The image is built locally from the audited adapter source with the base image
as a build argument, so all ten share one reviewed build instead of ten upstream
dependencies. Each role provisions its own read-only identity in the language
its application speaks, and every adapter include is guarded by the role's MCP
flag, so switching it off leaves no container behind.
The block sat under services but never behaved like a service. A service has
exactly one providing role, declared with provides, so the registry can map the
key to that role and consumers bind their flag to its presence. No role declares
provides: mcp. There are seventeen providers and the pairing is done by
allowed_consumers inside the block itself.
Every rule that enforces the service model therefore needed an exemption for it:
a shared-provider suppression in fourteen roles, a playwright-service-flag
suppression, and two freshly added exemptions in the dynamic-flag and
variants-static-override checks. Four independent rules, four escape hatches,
one cause. They are all gone now, together with a bond key that only the
resource budgeter reads and only for entries under services, and a wordpress
addon bridge that pointed at a service block that no longer exists.
The block moves to meta/mcp.yml. The applications loader maps meta/<name>.yml to
applications.<app>.<name> generically, so the move needs no wiring; the file
takes the same shape as meta/rbac.yml. Every config path follows, the variant
overrides are lifted out of their services map, and the vocabulary module leaves
the services package because it no longer describes one. roles_with_service
gains an explicit topic parameter rather than an implicit fallback, so nothing
silently resolves against the wrong container.
Files that are otherwise unrelated to this move are included where the committed
tree would otherwise keep pointing at a path that no longer resolves: thirteen
vars files, eleven playwright env templates and one task file.
Three conflicts, none resolved by picking a side wholesale:
- Makefile: took the incoming ACT_INPUTS, which routes through SWARM_DISTROS
instead of inlining the same expression a second time.
- test-e2e-playwright/02_run_one.yml: took the incoming rc handling. An absent
rc now counts as failure; the previous default(0) let an aborted Playwright
run pass silently, contradicting the debug message right above it.
- web-app-peertube spec: combined both. Kept gotoOnion and resolveTimeout,
which this branch's lint enforces, and adopted the incoming retry-inside-poll
for the OIDC button plus its networkidle wait.
The declared values were guesses that ran up to 60x the size of the image they belong to: seaweedfs asked for 30GB against a 104MB image, nextcloud for 20GB against 353MB. Because min_storage feeds the storage guard, the runner packer and the sufficient-storage filter, those numbers made hosts look too small and pruned caches that deploys did not need to lose.
Every service that declares min_storage together with image and version now carries the measured compressed transfer size of that image plus 200MB of headroom. Sizes were read from the registries through utils.docker.registry.manifest_transfer_size, the same path the headroom test uses, so the declarations and the gate agree by construction. Values are written in MB throughout, matching the existing 500MB / 100MB / 50MB style.
119 declarations across 89 roles. Range: 206MB (memcached) to 3473MB (ollama); four exceed 1GB. The 84 min_storage entries that name no image are untouched, since there is nothing to measure them against.

Rewrite all 254 role descriptions to a uniform noun-phrase schema
(function-first, no leading verb, no trailing period, <=120 chars) and
enforce it via the extended description lint. Rename 12 role README H1
titles for clarity (e.g. Backup Container to Local -> Backup Docker
Volumes, CSS Service -> Corporate Design, NGINX Legal -> Imprint) and
regenerate their Cosmos and Quick Setup sections. Overview table
regenerated.
