- 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
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.
