- Added '| sort' to all service group lists and backup routine lists to ensure
deterministic ordering and stable checksums across Ansible runs.
- Adjusted systemctl templates to use a single service variable
('SYS_SERVICE_BACKUP_RMT_2_LOC') instead of rejecting dynamic list entries,
making the ignore logic simpler and more predictable.
- Fixed minor whitespace inconsistencies in Jinja templates to avoid
unnecessary changes.
This change was made to prevent spurious 'changed' states in Ansible caused by
non-deterministic list order and to reduce complexity in service definitions.

- Swap role includes: sys-systemctl → sys-service in all roles
- Rename variables everywhere: systemctl_* → system_service_* (incl. systemctl_id → system_service_id)
- Templates: ExecStart now uses {{ system_service_script_exec }}; add optional RuntimeMaxSec via SYS_SERVICE_DEFAULT_RUNTIME
- Move SYS_SERVICE defaults into roles/sys-service/defaults (remove SYS_SERVICE_ALL_ENABLED & SYS_SERVICE_DEFAULT_STATE from group_vars/07_services.yml)
- Tidy group_vars/all/08_timer.yml formatting
- Introduce roles/sys-daemon:
- default manager timeouts (timeouts.conf)
- optional purge of /etc/systemd/system.conf.d
- validation via systemd-analyze verify
- handlers for daemon-reload & daemon-reexec
- Refactor sys-timer to system_service_* variables (docs and templates updated)
- Move filter_plugins/filetype.py under sys-service
- Update meta/README to point to official systemd docs
- Touch many roles (backup/cleanup/health/repair/certs/nginx/csp/wireguard/ssd-hdd/keyboard/update-docker/alarm compose/email/telegram/etc.) to new naming
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Role path/name change: use `sys-service` instead of `sys-systemctl`
- All `systemctl_*` vars are now `system_service_*` (e.g., on_calendar, state, timer_enabled, script_exec, id)
- If you have custom templates, adopt RuntimeMaxSec and new variable names

Replaced all hardcoded service name concatenations with the new get_service_name filter.
This ensures consistency, proper lowercase formatting, and correct handling of '@' suffixed units.
Added unittests for the filter (normal, custom suffix, '@'-units, and lowercase normalization).

- Unified service templates into generic systemctl templates
- Introduced reusable filter plugins for script path handling
- Updated path variables and service/timer definitions
- Migrated roles (backup, cleanup, repair, etc.) to use systemctl role
- Added sys-daemon role for core systemd cleanup
- Simplified timer handling via sys-timer role
Note: This is a large refactor and some errors may still exist. Further testing and adjustments will be needed.
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.
