kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5 c55f508e05 feat(readme): draw mandatory and disabled service relations
The cosmos generator linked a consumer to its provider only through an
'<role>' in group_names reference or an explicit provides: name. A hard
dependency has neither -- pinning the provider on unconditionally is
exactly what removes the Jinja reference the generator was reading -- so
web-svc-asset's bond to web-svc-file vanished from the diagram the moment
it became binding. Match a service key against the provider's own primary
key from the registry, in both directions.

Services the role turns off drew a solid 1:1 edge, claiming a mandatory
relationship for something that carries nothing at deploy time. They now
render as a red 0..0 edge; edge merging gained a real precedence so a
provider consumed through two keys stays live when only one is off.

Named colour, not hex: a '#' opens an entity code in the mermaid lexer and
turns the whole diagram into a parse error on GitHub.

sys-cleanup

Description

Role to perform cross-distribution system cleanup for Infinito.Nexus environments.
It removes package manager caches, language tool caches, temporary files, and other build artefacts that accumulate on CI runners, containers, and build hosts.

The role is designed to be distribution-agnostic and works on:

  • Arch Linux
  • Debian / Ubuntu
  • Fedora
  • CentOS

Overview

  • Cleans package manager caches (apt, pacman, dnf, yum)
  • Removes language and build tool caches (pip, npm, yarn, cargo, go, maven, gradle)
  • Cleans temporary directories (/tmp, /var/tmp)
  • Designed for CI, container, and build environments
  • Prevents disk pressure and runaway image sizes

Cosmos

The diagram places sys-cleanup in the Infinito.Nexus cosmos: the components it deploys (capabilities), the central services it consumes (dependencies), and its outward reach (federation and bridged external networks).

    end

Solid 1:1 edges are fixed relationships; dashed 0..1 edges are conditional (enabled only in matching deployments); red 0..0 edges are turned off in this role. Node markers show the role's deploy modes (💻 host, 🐳 compose, 🐝 swarm); ❌ marks a service that is explicitly turned off, and ⚙️ an Ansible role dependency declared in meta/main.yml.

Features

  • Cross-Distro Support: Automatically detects the available package manager.
  • Safe Defaults: Best-effort cleanup without breaking running services.
  • CI Optimized: Prevents GitHub Actions images from growing uncontrollably.
  • Language Cache Cleanup: Removes common build artefacts and tool caches.
  • Temp Cleanup: Clears temporary directories after builds.

Typical Use Cases

  • GitHub Actions runners
  • Local CI test containers
  • Build hosts
  • Ephemeral development environments
  • Image build pipelines
