Move utils/roles/applications/files.py to utils/roles/mapping.py and add a data-driven role-type detector in utils/roles/type.py. Each entry in ROLE_FILES carries per-role-type allowed/mandatory flags plus marker entries that drive get_role_types(); a role MAY belong to several types (e.g. an application that also ships a system service). Add cli/meta/roles/mapping with files / types / markers subcommands so contributors can query the schema in text or JSON. Move cli/meta/applications/ to cli/meta/roles/applications/ and adjust PROJECT_ROOT parents indices accordingly. Move docs/contributing/design/services/ to docs/contributing/design/role/services/ and document the mapping in docs/contributing/design/role/mapping.md per documentation.md. Replace the narrow test_app_only_files with a generalist tests/integration/roles/meta/test_mapping.py that walks every role and every ROLE_FILES entry and reports forbidden files, missing mandatory files, forbidden entries, and missing mandatory entries in one structured fail report. meta/info.yml and meta/users.yml are now allowed across every role type. Create the seven mandatory files surfaced by the generalist test (README.md for desk-keepassxc, desk-obs, web-svc-cdn following readme_md.md, plus tasks/main.yml stubs for svc-db-memcached, svc-db-redis, sys-svc-proxy, web-app-socialhome). Audit and rewrite touched markdown for documentation.md compliance: replace em-dashes with fluent sentences, drop SPOT self-labels, fix all broken relative links introduced by the services/ move.

Role Mapping 🧩
The role-mapping schema decides which files MAY appear inside roles/<role-name>/, which MUST appear, and which dotted-path entries inside those files MUST be set per role type.
Source 📁
mapping.py is the only authoritative location for this schema.
It exposes the path constants, the ROLE_FILES dict that scopes each path per role type, and the mandatory, allowed and marker flags that drive both lint enforcement and role-type detection.
Every consumer (lint tests, role-type detection, the CLI documented below) MUST read from this file.
Adding a new role type or a new role file MUST happen here first; the rest of the system reads the dict at runtime.
Role-Type Detection 🎯
type.py consumes the same schema.
It walks every entry flagged marker: True in ROLE_FILES and adds the surrounding type to a role's type set whenever the marker's dotted path resolves to a non-empty value in the role's file.
A role MAY belong to several types simultaneously (an application that also ships a systemd unit declares both application_id and system_service_id); get_role_types returns the full set.
CLI Inspector 🛠️
the mapping CLI renders the schema in three views.
Every subcommand accepts --type <ROLE_TYPE> to narrow output to a single role type and --format text|json to switch between human-readable text (default) and a machine-readable structure.
Subcommands 📋
| Subcommand | Output |
|---|---|
files |
Every role file with its per-type policy and dotted-path entries. |
types |
Every role type with the files it MAY or MUST ship. |
markers |
The file.path pairs that decide each role type. |
Examples ✍️
List every file with its policy across all types:
python -m cli.meta.roles.mapping files
Narrow to one role type:
python -m cli.meta.roles.mapping types --type application
Get the marker schema as JSON for piping into jq:
python -m cli.meta.roles.mapping markers --format json
Lint Integration 🚦
Two integration tests consume ROLE_FILES directly so adding or moving a file in the schema propagates the constraint without further edits:
- test_mapping.py iterates every role and every entry in
ROLE_FILES, then reports forbidden files, missing mandatory files, forbidden entries, and missing mandatory entries in one structured fail report. - test_coverage.py consults
get_role_typesso the variant-coverage requirement only applies to roles that includeROLE_TYPE_APPLICATIONin their type set.
