- 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
