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

- Introduced a new handler 'docker compose pull' that runs only once per
{{ docker_compose.directories.instance }} directory by using a lock
file under /run/ansible/compose-pull.
- Ensures idempotency by marking the task as changed only when a pull
was actually executed.
- Restricted execution with 'when: MODE_UPDATE | bool'.
- Improves update workflow by avoiding redundant docker pulls during
the same Ansible run.

This test scans all roles for tasks including:
- include_role:
name: sys-service
If present, the role must define a non-empty 'system_service_id' in vars/main.yml.
Helps enforce consistency and prevent misconfiguration.

- Added missing 'Iterable' import in 'canonical_domains_map' to avoid NameError.
- Introduced 'seed' parameter so the filter can start traversal from current play apps
while still emitting canonical domains for discovered dependencies (e.g. web-svc-collabora).
- Updated 01_constructor.yml to pass full 'applications' and a clean 'seed' list
(using dict2items → key) instead of '.keys()' method calls, fixing integration
test error: 'reference to application keys is invalid'.
This resolves issues where collabora domains were missing and integration tests failed.

- Introduced module_utils/role_dependency_resolver.py with full support for include_role, import_role, meta dependencies, and run_after.
- Refactored cli/build/tree.py to use RoleDependencyResolver (added toggles for include/import/dependencies/run_after).
- Extended filter_plugins/canonical_domains_map.py with optional 'recursive' mode (ignores run_after by design).
- Updated roles/web-app-nextcloud to properly include Collabora dependency.
- Added comprehensive unittests under tests/unit/module_utils for RoleDependencyResolver.

Use `systemd-escape --unescape` to restore human-readable unit identifiers in
Telegram and Email alerts. Also ensure Telegram messages are URL-encoded and
Email status checks try both raw and escaped forms for robustness.
Fixes issue where slashes were shown as dashes in notifications.

- 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.

- Added logic to scan each role’s tasks/*.yml files for include_role usage
- Supports:
* loop/with_items with literal strings → adds each role
* patterns with variables inside literals (e.g. svc-db-{{database_type}}) → expanded to glob and matched
* pure variable-only names ({{var}}) → ignored
* pure literal names → added directly
- Merges discovered dependencies under graphs["dependencies"]["include_role"]
- Added dedicated unit test covering looped includes, glob patterns, pure literals, and ignoring pure variables

- 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

- Fixed bug where not both alarm services (email + telegram) were triggered.
- Removed direct OnFailure references for email and telegram,
now handled by unified compose service.
- Introduced 01_core.yml in sys-ctl-alm-compose to structure
role execution (subservices → core service → test run).
- Added configurable variables SYSTEMCTL_ALARM_COMPOSER_SUBSERVICES
and SYSTEMCTL_ALARM_COMPOSER_DUMMY_MESSAGE.
- Replaced dedicated @.service template with generic systemctl template
using systemctl_tpl_* variables for flexibility.
- Updated script.sh.j2 to collect exit codes and print clear errors.
- Fixed typos and streamlined vars in sys-systemctl.
