Cosmos, Quick Setup and Credits follow from meta/services.yml, categories.yml
and galaxy_info.author, yet 279 role READMEs carried a copy that went stale
whenever the metadata moved and nobody re-ran make docs. The documentation
build now runs the generators itself, against its own scratch checkout, and
the committed READMEs keep only the prose a person writes.
utils.cache.PROJECT_ROOT derives from the module's location, so putting the
checkout first on PYTHONPATH makes the generator operate on the scratch tree.
i18n.py and builder.py add it; the one remaining coupling, a relative_to over
PROJECT_ROOT in a log line, is gone.
CI extracted the "### Production" block from the committed README with awk.
Stripping the section made guide_deployable() return "" for every role, which
selects no deploy row and turns nothing red: a fail-open regression. It now
asks _is_role_invokable, which matches the old condition exactly (178 roles
either way, both difference sets empty), and cli/build/docs/readme/production.py
renders the block for the two guide scripts. All 178 renders are byte-identical
to what HEAD served, and both scripts' extraction pipelines produce identical
output for a web app, a service and a desktop role.
test_readme.py inverts: the three sections are now a hard failure in a
committed README. readme_md.md documents what each is derived from.
Removed: the docs, cosmos, readme-generate, readme-index and readme-check
targets, the five aliases pointing at them, and docs from make quality.
Verified by running generate_commands() in series against a copy of the
checkout: every command exits 0, no README is left without Cosmos or Credits,
and exactly the 178 invokable roles get a Quick Setup. The ansible_roles step
needs pandoc, which only the docs image carries, so that one link of the chain
is unexercised here; it is unchanged by this commit.

svc-net-tor aborts at roles/svc-net-tor/tasks/router.yml:2 when networks.internet.dns is empty, and rightly so: dnsmasq runs with no-resolv, so an empty upstream leaves the node answering .onion and nothing else. That value is set in exactly two places, both under inventories/development/, and the documented production path reaches neither - the provisioner writes no networks key at all. A reader following the role README verbatim therefore cannot deploy a Tor node.
CI has been proving this since 2026-08-31 without anyone seeing it: the README replay rides on the role's smallest variant and is skipped when the deploy is red, so the only row that ever reached it is one where svc-net-tor itself went green. That happened first on Ubuntu, where the local-service defect abb6f37297 fixes never fired.
The template now emits the DNS assignment, the -e passthrough and the networks entry in --vars for a role whose tasks name networks.internet.dns, which today is svc-net-tor alone; the generator derives that rather than taking a declaration, so a second role asking for the value documents it by doing so. scripts/github/guide/compose_deploy.sh substitutes the placeholder from INFINITO_DNS_IP, the same SPOT inventories/development/default.yml reads, next to the existing domain substitution.
This follows 972596a758, which added the administrator key to the same block for the same reason. No fallback inside the role: defaulting to NETWORK_PUBLIC_DNS_RESOLVERS would route a Tor node's clearnet queries to Cloudflare without the operator choosing it, which is what the assert exists to prevent.

The Production block never set one. inventory provision writes only
ansible_connection for a local host, so DOMAIN_PRIMARY stayed at the
group_vars default of infinito.localhost and the deployment served a zone its
own resolver knows nothing about. CoreDNS templates answers for
INFINITO_DOMAIN_RE and nothing else, so every lookup of the deployment's own
name came back NXDOMAIN.
Mastodon is where that surfaced. tootctl accounts create validates the address
through EmailMxValidator, which resolves MX and then, for the domain itself,
A and AAAA. All six queries returned NXDOMAIN in run 33574056480, the
validator recorded email :unreachable, and the admin account was never created.
Only the guide rows were affected: the matrix rows write
DOMAIN_PRIMARY: "{{ lookup('env', 'INFINITO_DOMAIN') }}" into their host_vars
and resolve fine.
The template now carries DOMAIN=<your-domain> in both the host and the
container form and threads it into --vars, with the container form passing it
through the docker run boundary as well. The two guide runners substitute it
the way they already substitute the SSH key, so the replay deploys under
INFINITO_DOMAIN like every other CI deploy. compose_deploy.sh moves its env
load ahead of the substitutions to have the value; host_deploy.sh had no env
load at all.
A production reader is asked for a domain now instead of silently inheriting
infinito.localhost, which no real deployment wants either. The shipped default
keeps its value: sys-svc-nss documents that *.localhost resolves through the
myhostname NSS module without any zone, and host-side tasks lean on it.

host_deploy.sh drops its bespoke dump: the EXIT trap now runs
utils/diagnostics/container.py on failure before removing the boot
container, because the workflow's failure() collect step only fires
after this script has already torn the container down. That yields the
full snapshot (logs, inspect, in-container systemctl and journal, DiD
recursion) instead of three ad-hoc files, and successful runs skip the
capture entirely.
The compose-mode README replay moves out of test-guide.yml into
scripts/github/guide/compose_deploy.sh unchanged; the workflow step
becomes a one-liner.
