- extended generic systemctl template to support ExecStartPost
- health-docker-volumes: run main script with whitelist, trigger both compose alarm and cleanup on failure
- repair-docker-hard: added ExecStartPre lock, ExecStart, and ExecStartPost to trigger compose alarm always, plus cleanup on failure
- removed obsolete role-specific systemctl.service.j2 templates
- improved consistency across vars and defaults

Introduced custom filter plugin to render optional systemd directives, refactored template to loop over directives, and adjusted default vars (TimeoutStartSec, RuntimeMaxSec handling).

- Improved get_service_name filter plugin (clearer suffix handling, consistent var names).
- Added MODE_ASSERT flag to optionally execute validation/assertion tasks.
- Fixed systemd unit handling: consistent use of %I instead of %i, correct escaping of instance names.
- Unified on_failure behavior and alarm composer scripts.
- Cleaned up redundant logging, handlers, and debug config.
- Strengthened sys-service template resolution with assert (only active when MODE_ASSERT).
- Simplified timer and suffix handling with get_service_name filter.
- Hardened sensitive tasks with no_log.
- Added conditional asserts across roles (Keycloak, DNS, Mailu, Discourse, etc.).
These changes improve consistency, safety, and validation across the automation stack.

- 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
