- 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
Add end-to-end support for reserved usernames and tighten CAPTCHA / Keycloak logic.
Changes:
- Makefile: rename EXTRA_USERS → RESERVED_USERNAMES and pass it as --reserved-usernames to the users defaults generator.
- cli/build/defaults/users.py: propagate flag into generated users, add --reserved-usernames CLI option and mark listed accounts as reserved.
- Add reserved_users filter plugin with and helpers for Ansible templates and tasks.
- Add unit tests for reserved_users filters and the new reserved-usernames behaviour in the users defaults generator.
- group_vars/all/00_general.yml: harden RECAPTCHA_ENABLED / HCAPTCHA_ENABLED checks with default('') and explicit > 0 length checks.
- svc-db-openldap: introduce OPENLDAP_PROVISION_* flags, add OPENLDAP_PROVISION_RESERVED and OPERNLDAP_USERS to optionally exclude reserved users from provisioning.
- svc-db-openldap templates/tasks: switch role/group LDIF and user import loops to use OPERNLDAP_USERS instead of the full users dict.
- networks: assign dedicated subnet for web-app-roulette-wheel.
- web-app-keycloak vars: compute KEYCLOAK_RESERVED_USERNAMES_LIST and KEYCLOAK_RESERVED_USERNAMES_REGEX from users | reserved_usernames.
- web-app-keycloak user profile template: inject reserved-username regex into username validation pattern and improve error message, fix SSH public key attribute usage and add component name field.
- web-app-keycloak update/_update.yml: strip subComponents from component payloads before update and disable async/poll for easier debugging.
- web-app-keycloak tasks/main.yml: guard cleanup include with MODE_CLEANUP and keep reCAPTCHA update behind KEYCLOAK_RECAPTCHA_ENABLED.
- user/users defaults: mark system/service accounts (root, daemon, mail, admin, webmaster, etc.) as reserved so they cannot be chosen as login names.
- svc-prx-openresty vars: simplify OPENRESTY_CONTAINER lookup by dropping unused default parameter.
- sys-ctl-rpr-btrfs-balancer: simplify main.yml by removing the extra block wrapper.
- sys-daemon handlers: quote handler name for consistency.

- Introduce new resource_filter plugin (mandatory hard_default, auto entity_name fallback)
- Replace get_app_conf calls with resource_filter in resource.yml.j2
- Add WEBSERVER_CPUS_EFFECTIVE, WEBSERVER_WORKER_PROCESSES, WEBSERVER_WORKER_CONNECTIONS to 05_webserver.yml
- Update Nginx templates (sys-svc-webserver, web-app-magento, web-app-nextcloud) to use new vars
- Extend svc-prx-openresty config with cpus/mem limits
- Add unit tests for resource_filter

- Improved get_service_name filter plugin (clearer suffix handling, consistent var names).
- Added MODE_ASSERT flag to optionally execute validation/assertion tasks.
- Fixed systemd unit handling: consistent use of %I instead of %i, correct escaping of instance names.
- Unified on_failure behavior and alarm composer scripts.
- Cleaned up redundant logging, handlers, and debug config.
- Strengthened sys-service template resolution with assert (only active when MODE_ASSERT).
- Simplified timer and suffix handling with get_service_name filter.
- Hardened sensitive tasks with no_log.
- Added conditional asserts across roles (Keycloak, DNS, Mailu, Discourse, etc.).
These changes improve consistency, safety, and validation across the automation stack.
