hlth-runtime set system_service_force_flush_final: false. In debug mode (CI) that makes sys-service start the unit as soon as the role is included, so whether the check saw the app containers depended on where the role landed in the play: in CI run 41023277637 SuiteCRM#0 and Nextcloud#4 had their containers up first (suitecrm started 11:46:28, check 11:49:02), while FusionDirectory#0 in the run before checked before its containers existed and passed without inspecting anything. In production (SYS_SERVICE_ALL_ENABLED false) the unit never ran during a deploy at all, only from its timer. Put it on the final run list like every other health check that inspects containers (hlth-container, hlth-volumes, hlth-csp, hlth-webserver, hlth-disc-space, hlth-btrfs): sys-service-terminator starts it once all apps are deployed, so a runtime below its floor fails the deploy deterministically.

Container Runtime Health Check
Description
This role checks the language runtime inside every running Docker container. It reads the PHP version of each container that ships a php binary and the effective PHP hardening of each service that mounts the shared hardening ini from sys-svc-compose-php.
Overview
The role installs a check script with a systemd service and timer. The check fails, and the failure notifier from sys-ctl-alm-compose alerts, when a container runs PHP below the security floor of its release line or on an end-of-life line, or when a service that declares php_hardening in its meta/volumes.yml still reports expose_php or session.upload_progress.enabled as on. The floors, the lowest patched release of each major.minor line, live in HEALTH_RUNTIME_FLOORS in main.yml.
Cosmos
The diagram places Container Runtime Health Check 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.
Features
- Runtime floor: Fails for every running container whose PHP is below the floor of its
major.minorline, or on a line older than every listed floor (end of life). A line newer than every floor passes. - Hardening verification: Runs
phpinside every service that mountsphp_hardeningand fails whileexpose_phporsession.upload_progress.enabledis on, which catches a wrong scan dir, a later ini that overrides the hardening, and an image change. - Sidecar report: Lists other PHP containers of a hardened stack, such as cron or worker sidecars, as info without failing.
- Registry report:
make security-runtimeslists the PHP runtime of every pinned image from registry metadata, without pulling, against the same floors.
