- Rename CI workflow and MODE from "rest" to "universal"
- Extend CLI and test runner to support universal deploy type
- Add tasks/stages/02_universal.yml for universal host type
- Update discover logic to use universal app selection
- Remove legacy rest->server mapping and obsolete select helper

- add --debug / --no-debug flag to deploy test CLI and runner
- make Ansible debug mode optional instead of always enabled
- extend deploy.sh with debug flag forwarding
- add make target test-deploy-rapid for fast single-app deploys

- Rename _deploy-matrix.yml -> _deploy-per-app.yml and drop unused inputs
(tested_lifecycles, only_distro, final_exclude_re).
- Keep one runner per app (matrix.app) and run all distros inside that job.
- Makefile: run deploy tests through act workflow_dispatch (no serial script).
- Add scripts/ci/discover.sh and scripts/ci/deploy-one-app.sh as small SRP helpers.
- Update reusable workflow callers to use the renamed file.
https://chatgpt.com/share/69659ff3-1414-800f-8652-5298fcf55398
- Add reusable _deploy-matrix workflow with discovery + per-app deploy across distros
- Enforce serial execution via strategy.max-parallel=1 and act --concurrent-jobs 1
- Support filters: mode (server|workstation|rest), only_app, only_distro, include/exclude regex
- Refactor test runner: remove discovery, require --app, deploy single app with deps only
- Generalize discover script to discover-apps.sh with INCLUDE_RE/EXCLUDE_RE + lifecycle gating
- Update Makefile targets to drive workflow_dispatch inputs for local act runs

Apply TESTED_LIFECYCLES filtering directly in the deploy test runner so roles
with unsupported lifecycles (e.g. pre-alpha) are excluded consistently for
both workstation and server workflows.
This prevents roles like desk-copyq (lifecycle: pre-alpha) from being deployed
in CI unless explicitly enabled via TESTED_LIFECYCLES.

- Replace direct docker compose up with python-based orchestrator (Compose.up)
- Centralize stack startup, systemd readiness wait, and init logic in Compose.up
- Run container init via scripts/docker/entry.sh instead of make target
- Remove duplicate systemd wait in deploy test runner
- Add cli.deploy.test.up entrypoint for make up integration

Add a systemd readiness gate to the CI compose wrapper to avoid a race
where systemctl is called before DBus/systemd is fully ready.
This prevents sporadic failures like:
"System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1)".
No Dockerfile or Ansible role changes required.

Resolve run_after dependencies via Compose.exec inside the infinito
CI container instead of invoking the resolver on the host.
This ensures:
- consistent runtime environment (PYTHONPATH, installed code)
- correct resolution when local and container sources differ
- alignment with other compose-based CI execution paths

Avoid returning from finally in the test runner, which previously
overrode non-zero exit codes when --keep-stack-on-failure was set.
The compose stack is now conditionally kept without affecting the
actual test result.

- Restore lifecycle-based role exclusion via cli.meta.roles.lifecycle_filter
- Make tested lifecycles configurable through TESTED_LIFECYCLES env
- Apply lifecycle gating consistently for workstation and server tests
- Fix minor bug in invokable parsing (avoid shadowing built-in list)
- Improve logging with lifecycle exclusion details

* Avoid GitHub Actions matrix job limits by looping distros inside the per-app job
* Simplify discover output emission and pin checkout/upload-artifact to stable versions
* Tidy long log lines and minor formatting in deploy/test helpers
https://chatgpt.com/share/695fa9b9-4460-800f-bcc3-d566b83649b2
* Add `cli.deploy.test` module to orchestrate compose-based CI deploy tests
* Support server per-app runs (including run_after dependencies) and workstation selection
* Add optional image build flags (--no-cache, --missing) and stack retention on failure
* Simplify `scripts/tests/deploy.sh` to a thin wrapper that forwards args to the Python runner
