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.

# Automated Telegram Alerts for Service Failures
## Description
This role installs and configures the necessary components for sending notifications via systemd when a service fails. It sets up the `sys-ctl-alm-telegram` service and configures parameters and customizable templates for sending messages through [Telegram](https://telegram.org). <!-- nocheck: url telegram.org answers 404 on the bare root -->
## Overview
Optimized for real-time alerts, this role is a key component of the overall [`sys-ctl-alm-compose` suite](../). It ensures that, upon failure of a critical service, a Telegram message is automatically sent to notify administrators and enable prompt troubleshooting.
## Cosmos
The diagram places Automated Telegram Alerts for Service Failures 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).

```
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`.
## Purpose
The primary purpose of this role is to provide a robust solution for automated Telegram notifications in a systemd environment. By integrating with Telegram’s Bot API and using customizable message templates, it delivers clear and timely alerts about service failures, thereby enhancing system observability and reliability.
## Features
- **Service Installation & Configuration:** Installs and configures necessary components (including the `curl` package).
- **Customizable Templates:** Supports tailored Telegram message templates for service failure notifications.
- **Secure Notifications:** Leverages systemd to trigger alerts automatically when services fail.
- **Suite Integration:** Part of the [`sys-ctl-alm-compose` suite](../) which includes related roles such as [sys-ctl-alm-email](../sys-ctl-alm-email/README.md) and others.
