- Replace legacy utils/run_once.yml with the new helpers utils/once_flag.yml and utils/once_finalize.yml
- Introduce utils/compose_up.yml to ensure docker-compose stacks are up and to flush handlers safely without coupling to run-once flags
- Migrate all affected roles (desk-*, dev-*, sys-ctl-*, sys-svc-*, web-app-*, web-svc-*, util-*) to the new run-once helpers
- Rework sys-svc-msmtp to auto-load Mailu once per deploy, check reachability, and reuse the running stack instead of requiring multiple playbook passes
- Adjust web-app-mailu to integrate cert deployment, handler flushing, and run-once handling so Mailu is fully initialized in a single deploy
- Improve Matomo, CDN, logout and CSP/health-check related roles to cooperate with the new compose_up / once_* pattern
- Simplify alarm/backup/timer/service orchestration (sys-ctl-alm-*, sys-bkp-provider, sys-timer-cln-bkps, etc.) by moving run-once logic into dedicated 01_core.yml files
- Update integration tests so utils/once_flag.yml and utils/once_finalize.yml are recognised as valid run-once providers, keeping the global run_once_* guarantees consistent
- Align frontend injection and service dependencies so Mastodon- and Mailu-related services can be brought up coherently within a single deployment cycle rather than several iterations
- replaced CERTBOT_DNS_API_TOKEN with CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN everywhere
- introduced generic sys-dns-cloudflare-records role for managing DNS records
- added sys-dns-hetzner-rdns role with both Cloud (hcloud) and Robot API flavors
- updated Mailu role to:
- generate DKIM before DNS setup
- delegate DNS + rDNS records to the new generic roles
- removed legacy per-role Cloudflare vars (MAILU_CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN)
- extended group vars with HOSTING_PROVIDER for rDNS flavor decision
- added hetzner.hcloud collection to requirements
This consolidates DNS management into reusable roles,
supports both Cloudflare and Hetzner providers,
and standardizes variable naming across the project.
