- Add services_disabler.py: parse SERVICES_DISABLED, disable services in host_vars,
remove provider roles from inventory
- Wire apply_services_disabled_from_env into cli/create/inventory/cli.py after deploy
- Add unit tests for all services_disabler functions
- Update hardware.md and variables.md with SERVICES_DISABLED documentation
- Update environment.sh: deploy dashboard with SERVICES_DISABLED=matomo first,
assert dashboard reachable + matomo not reachable, then deploy matomo and assert
reachable; extract assert_http_status / assert_http_status_not helpers

- 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 SSH key handling to users.<name>.authorized_keys (list-only) and write keys via shared user role
* Enforce at least one SSH key for administrator user
* Wrap backup user keys with restricted command wrapper before writing authorized_keys
* Remove legacy inventory file copy and CLI flag/function for administrator authorized_keys
* Extend user setup generator to include authorized_keys field
* Rename administrator scripts path to root scripts path and update dependent variables
* Update inventory sample and docs to reflect new SSH key workflow

* Replace global `SSL_ENABLED` flag with `TLS_ENABLED`
* Update web protocol/ports (http/https, ws/wss) to use `TLS_ENABLED`
* Switch cert-related roles and nginx TLS header gating to `TLS_ENABLED`
* Update app env templates (BookWyrm, Confluence, Jira, Magento, OpenProject, WordPress, etc.) to use `TLS_ENABLED`
* Adjust inventory generator to write `TLS_ENABLED` and update CLI help text accordingly
* Update unit tests for inventory vars overrides to expect `TLS_ENABLED`

- add --vars-file CLI option to load host_vars overrides from YAML
- merge vars-file overrides before JSON --vars (JSON takes precedence)
- implement deep-merge logic for YAML vars files
- update CI deploy script to use vars file instead of inline JSON
- add unit test for apply_vars_overrides_from_file
- remove obsolete MASK_CREDENTIALS_IN_LOGS TODO entry

- Fix E402 by removing sys.path hacks and ensuring imports are at module top level
- Replace ad-hoc imports with proper package imports (filter_plugins, lookup_plugins, module_utils, cli)
- Make lookup plugins importable via package paths (e.g. lookup_plugins.application_gid)
- Clean up test imports to rely on installed package layout instead of sys.path manipulation
- Partially fix F821 caused by missing/invalid imports
This establishes a consistent, ruff-compliant import architecture across CLI, filters, plugins, and tests.
Includes:
- New apply_vars_overrides() with deep merge logic
- New --vars CLI argument in cli/create/inventory.py
- Added unit tests for vars handling in test_inventory.py
- Updated test-deploy workflow to pass --vars in all deploy phases

- Updated CLI argument parsing to use --exclude instead of --ignore.
- Adjusted help texts, comments, and error messages accordingly.
- Updated role filtering logic and references (include → exclude).
- Added new unit tests for parse_roles_list(), filter_inventory_by_include(), and filter_inventory_by_ignore().
- Improved wording and consistency in docstrings.
This change is part of the refactoring required for the Ansible 2.18 → 2.20 upgrade, ensuring naming clarity and avoiding confusion with Python's 'ignore' semantics.

- Implement ensure_become_password() to handle explicit, generated, and existing become passwords
- Integrate VaultHandler for encrypted ansible_become_password storage
- Add CLI parameter --become-password to inventory creation workflow
- Ensure backwards compatibility: existing passwords remain untouched unless explicitly overridden
- Add unit test verifying non-overwrite behaviour when no password is provided
- Part of migration and refactoring for Ansible 2.20 upgrade

### 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.
### Context
This commit is associated with a refactoring and debugging session documented here:
https://chatgpt.com/share/692ec0e1-5018-800f-b568-d09a53e9d0ee
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.
