The entity name keys a role's instance directory, its compose project and its container name, and was derived only by stripping the longest matching category prefix. Two roles under different categories whose names share a suffix therefore collapse onto one entity and overwrite each other's rendered stack, which no provides: can repair.
A literal entity_name in vars/main.yml now wins over the derivation. web-app-seaweedfs-console takes its shorter name back and declares the entity seaweedfs-console, which frees the seaweedfs key in its own services map for the engine consumer and removes the provides:, covers: and alias entries that stood in for it. A new lint pairs the declaration with the primary key it has to match, because a drift between them would drop the role from the provider set in silence.
Compared across all 288 roles, exactly one entity changes, and it restores what main already keeps on disk, so no instance directory moves.
The function and the filter lose their get_ prefix. Two lints read that prefix as the discriminator between the variable and the filter that fills it; both discriminate on the pipe now. Ansible's templar resolves a filter and a same-named variable independently, verified against ansible-core 2.20.2.

Three shapes of the same failure, taken from the build's own message list
rather than from a reading pass.
Eight unescaped inline characters in prose: a '*', '**', backtick or '|'
opens markup that never closes. 'roles/*/vars/main.yml', the regex
'^(web-|svc-).*', 'scripts/system/tls/trust/*.sh'. In ansible_log an inline
literal ended on a space, which reStructuredText forbids; the space carried
meaning, so it moved into the prose.
Thirteen example blocks after a single ':', which makes the indented block
a block quote instead of a literal one.
Three bullet lists with no blank line to the paragraph above, which
docutils reads as a continuation of that paragraph.
Two markdown files carried a '---' where reStructuredText allows no
transition: directly after a heading, and at the end of a document.

Two places decided independently what the pre-created <entity> network is called
inside the compose project. render.py emits the key; create.yml asserted it was
always `default`. They diverged in July and nobody noticed, because compose
5.3.1 resolved networks by name and never read the claim.
Compose 5.4.0, published 2026-08-03T14:39:12Z, resolves them by label. For
web-app-seaweedfs - the one deployed role that provides its own shared_net and
therefore renders an unnamed `default` - the mislabelled `seaweedfs` network is
adopted as the project default, `seaweedfs_default` is never created, and the
containers fail to start against it. That failed web-app-nextcloud 0 and 3 in
run 30830377785.
_shared_network_key() is now the single derivation. render_compose_networks
takes its branch from it, so the rendering decision IS the key decision;
shared_network_compose_key() exports the same value, the shared_network_key
lookup hands it to Ansible, and create.yml stamps it: `seaweedfs` for a
self-provider, `default` for everyone else. Both true, both from the source that
renders the file.
Verified on one host with only the compose binary swapped:
5.4.0 network=default -> FAIL, network <project>_default not found
5.4.0 network=<entity> -> OK
5.3.1 network=default -> OK
5.3.1 network=<entity> -> OK
so this is not a fix that trades one version for the other.
test_key_matches_the_key_the_renderer_emits renders the block and asserts the
reported key appears in it, for both role shapes and both modes. The drift that
sat unnoticed for a month now breaks a test.
The move of the attachment computation into utils/networks/attachments.py rides
along because render.py would otherwise be broken between two commits: it is a
pure relocation, re-exported so no importer changes, and it brings the file from
352 to 243 lines.
