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.

# Docker Volumes Health Check
## Description
This role detects unused **anonymous Docker volumes** that are not bound to any running container.
It can optionally exclude specific volumes from the check using a configurable whitelist.
## Overview
The role installs a script and a `systemd` service with a timer to periodically scan for leftover anonymous volumes.
This helps prevent wasted disk space and leftover resources from old deployments.
## Cosmos
The diagram places Docker Volumes 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).
```mermaid

subgraph role [sys-ctl-hlth-volumes 💻]
svc_volumes["volumes"]
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`.
## Purpose
The main purpose of this role is to keep Docker environments clean by identifying and reporting orphaned anonymous volumes.
It supports a whitelist mechanism to avoid alerting on known or intentional volumes.
## Features
- **Anonymous Volume Detection:** Identifies volumes with 64-character IDs not attached to any container.
- **Whitelist Support:** Skips volumes listed in `DOCKER_WHITELISTET_ANON_VOLUMES`.
- **Bootstrap Volume Exclusion:** Ignores known bootstrap volumes (e.g., `/var/www/bootstrap`).
- **Systemd Integration:** Installs a one-shot service and timer to automate checks.
- **Alerting Support:** Works with the [`sys-ctl-alm-compose`](../sys-ctl-alm-compose/README.md) role for failure notifications.
