- 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
- Added 'solo' flag support for A/AAAA, CNAME/MX/TXT, and SRV records in sys-dns-cloudflare-records.
- Simplified sys-svc-dns: removed NS management tasks and CLOUDFLARE_NAMESERVERS default.
- Renamed 03_apex.yml back to 02_apex.yml, adjusted AAAA task name.
- Updated web-app-bluesky DNS tasks: marked critical records with 'solo'.
- Updated web-app-mailu DNS tasks: removed cleanup block, enforced 'solo' on all records.
- Adjusted constructor stage to call domain_mappings with AUTO_BUILD_ALIASES parameter.

- Enforce quoting for Bluesky and Mailu TXT records
- Add cleanup of MX/TXT/DMARC/DKIM in Mailu role
- Normalize no_log handling in Nextcloud plugin
- Simplify async conditionals in Collabora role

This update introduces apex (@) A and optional AAAA records for all base SLD domains.
The tasks were moved into a new 02_apex.yml file and are looped using
SYS_SVC_DNS_BASE_DOMAINS. CAA record loops were updated accordingly.
See details: https://chatgpt.com/share/68c385c3-1804-800f-8c78-8614bc853f77
Rename filter parent_build_records→wildcard_records; create only wildcard (*.parent) A/AAAA records (no base/apex); switch to CURRENT_PLAY_DOMAINS_ALL; update vars to SYN_DNS_WILDCARD_RECORDS; adjust role/task names, defaults, and docs; add unittest expecting *.a.b from www.a.b.example.com. See: https://chatgpt.com/share/68c35dc1-7170-800f-8fbe-772e61780597
Introduce sys-svc-dns to bootstrap Cloudflare DNS prerequisites. Validates CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN, (optionally) manages CAA for base SLDs, and delegates parent record creation to sys-dns-parent-hosts. Wired into sys-stk-front-pure.
sys-dns-parent-hosts: new parent_dns filter builds A/AAAA for each parent host and wildcard children (*.parent). Supports dict/list inputs for CURRENT_PLAY_DOMAINS, optional IPv6, proxied flag, and optional *.apex. Exposes a single parent_build_records entry point.
Let’s Encrypt role cleanup: remove DNS/C AA management from sys-svc-letsencrypt; it now focuses on webroot challenge config and renew timer. Fixed path joins and run_once guards.
Tests: update unit tests to allow wildcard outputs and dict-based CURRENT_PLAY_DOMAINS. Add generate_base_sld_domains filter. Documentation updates for both roles.
