- Allow credentials generator to run for roles without schema/main.yml so
transitive config-based generation still works.
- Make InventoryManager resilient to missing YAML by defaulting to {} and
only loading schema when schema/main.yml exists.
- Add recursive shared-provider include resolution based on docker.services
config and apply provider schemas/special rules transitively.
- Require database_password injection only when database.enabled=true and shared=true.
- Update unit/integration tests to create required files for .exists() checks and
validate transitive provider role credential generation.

- Move generate_value/generate_secure_alphanumeric out of InventoryManager into new ValueGenerator
- Wire InventoryManager to use self.value_generator for all secret generation
- Tighten schema include logic for shared databases: require enabled=true and shared=true
- Update unit tests to patch ValueGenerator.generate_value instead of InventoryManager.generate_value
- Add end-to-end integration test for InventoryManager using real files and a fake VaultHandler
- Remove redundant legacy unit test file and add dedicated ValueGenerator unit tests

Extend credentials generator to include schemas for shared provider roles
(OpenLDAP, Keycloak, Matomo, and svc-db-<type>) based on docker.services.*.shared
flags in role config. Credentials are now emitted/added for all involved
applications while preserving existing inventory formatting, and CLI overrides
can target specific apps via applications.<app>.credentials.<key>.
Replace legacy feature flags (features.central_database, features.oauth2) with
docker service based configuration:
- docker.services.database.shared
- docker.services.oauth2.enabled
Update InventoryManager logic accordingly and adapt all unit tests to mock
the new config structure.
This ensures inventory generation now follows the canonical docker service
configuration model.

### Overview
This commit introduces a broad set of improvements across the defaults
generator, credential creation subsystem, inventory creation workflow,
and InventoryManager core logic.
### Major Changes
- Support empty or config/main.yml in defaults generator and ensure that
applications with empty configs are still included in defaults_applications.
- Add '--snippet' and '--allow-empty-plain' modes to create/credentials.py
with non-destructive merging and correct plain-secret handling.
- Ensure empty strings for 'plain' credentials are never encrypted.
- Update InventoryManager to fully support allow_empty_plain and prevent
accidental overwriting or encrypting existing VaultScalar or dict values.
- Add full-size implementation of cli/create/inventory.py including
dynamic inventory building, role filtering, host_vars management, and
parallelised credential snippet generation.
- Fix schemas (Magento, Nextcloud, OAuth2-Proxy, keyboard-color, etc.) to
align with the new credential model and avoid test failures.
- Improve get_app_conf consistency by ensuring credentials.* paths are
always resolvable for applications even when config/main.yml is empty.
### Added Test Coverage
- Unit tests for defaults generator handling empty configs.
- Full test suite for create/inventory.py including merge logic and
vault-safe host_vars loading.
- Extensive tests for InventoryManager: plain-secret behavior,
vault handling, and recursion logic.
- Update or remove outdated tests referencing old schema behaviour.
