kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 4.7 79409ebf10 test(tooling): integrate markdownlint-cli2, ansible-lint, galaxy-importer + fix the resulting baseline
Tooling integration
* add .markdownlint-cli2.jsonc, .ansible-lint, .ansible-lint-ignore
  configs (permissive day-1: cosmetic rules disabled, semantic ones on)
* extend scripts/install/lint.sh with generic install_pip_pkg helper +
  ensure_ansible_lint / ensure_galaxy_importer / ensure_markdownlint_cli2
  ensure_* functions (pip / npm with sudo / --user / --break-system-packages
  fallbacks). install_ansible_tools now also pulls ansible-lint and
  galaxy-importer; new `markdown` install group.
* extend scripts/lint/ansible.sh to run ansible-lint after the existing
  syntax-check.
* add scripts/lint/markdown.sh and scripts/lint/galaxy.sh runners. The
  galaxy runner parallelizes via xargs (-P=$(nproc)), prints OK/FAIL per
  role, and treats `bare-name dependency` errors as success since our
  roles/ tree is not a Galaxy collection layout. All other Galaxy schema
  errors still fail.
* Makefile: new lint-markdown and lint-galaxy targets, both wired into
  `make lint`.
* CI: new workflows lint-markdown.yml and lint-galaxy.yml; lint-ansible.yml
  now installs ansible-core + ansible-lint; ci-orchestrator wires both
  new lint workflows into lint-gate.

Galaxy schema fixes
* shorten the canonical `galaxy_info.company` block from three lines to
  two ("Kevin Veen-Birkenbach\nhttps://www.veen.world", 45 chars) so it
  stays under Galaxy's hard 50-char limit. Updated everywhere: 229 role
  meta/main.yml plus _CANONICAL_COMPANY in
  tests/lint/repository/test_role_meta_main_galaxy_schema.py.
* shorten 19 over-long role descriptions to <=255 chars.
* add stub READMEs for sys-svc-compose-ca and sys-utils-service-loader.

Markdown baseline fixes
* markdownlint-cli2 --fix run repo-wide (formatting normalization
  across CHANGELOG, role READMEs, docs).
* manual MD041 fixes: prepend H1 in 15 files (CHANGELOG, LICENSE,
  TODO.md helpers, role README templates, etc.).
* MD025 / MD003 / MD001 / MD032 manual fixes for heading-style and
  list-spacing edge cases.
* role README content polish: "## Single Point of Truth (SPOT)" headings
  renamed to "## User data resolution" (D3 self-label rule).

# NGINX vHost Templates: Basic vs. WebSocket (ws_generic)
This directory provides two NGINX server templates for reverse proxying Dockerized applications behind NGINX:
- `basic.conf.j2`
- `ws_generic.conf.j2`
---
## When to Use Which Template?
### 1. `basic.conf.j2`
**Use this template for standard HTTP/S applications.**
It is optimized for typical web applications (e.g., static sites, PHP, Node.js, Django, etc.) that do **not** require persistent, bidirectional WebSocket connections.
- **Features:**
- HTTP/2 support, TLS/SSL integration
- Reverse proxy with buffering enabled (`proxy_buffering on`)
- Allows advanced content filtering (e.g., via Lua body/headers)
- Suitable for most REST APIs, web frontends, and admin panels
- **Pros:**
- Enables HTML/body manipulation (for injecting snippets, analytics, CSP, etc.)
- Optimized for efficient caching and GZIP compression
- Good default for "normal" web traffic
- **Cons:**
- **Not** suitable for WebSocket endpoints (buffering can break WS)
- Slightly more latency for streaming data due to buffering
---
### 2. `ws_generic.conf.j2`
**Use this template for applications requiring WebSocket support.**
Designed for services (e.g., chat servers, real-time dashboards) needing fast, persistent connections using the WebSocket protocol.
- **Features:**
- WebSocket-aware: `proxy_buffering off`, special upgrade headers
- Supports standard HTTP/S traffic alongside WebSockets
- Proper handling of connection upgrades and protocol switching
- **Pros:**
- Required for all WebSocket endpoints
- Allows instant, low-latency bidirectional traffic
- Prevents data loss or connection drops due to proxy buffering
- **Cons:**
- Disables body/content filtering and response manipulation
- No buffering means less effective for caching/optimization
- Not suitable for scenarios requiring Lua/JS content injection
---
## Summary Table
| Use Case | Template | Buffering | WebSocket? | Can Filter Content? |
|--------------------------|---------------------|-----------|------------|--------------------|
| Static/Classic Website | `basic.conf.j2` | On | No | Yes |
| REST API | `basic.conf.j2` | On | No | Yes |
| Real-Time Chat/App | `ws_generic.conf.j2`| Off | Yes | No |
| Dashboard w/Live Data | `ws_generic.conf.j2`| Off | Yes | No |
| Needs HTML Injection | `basic.conf.j2` | On | No | Yes |
---
## Good to Know
- **Never enable buffering for true WebSocket connections!**
Use `proxy_buffering off;` (as in `ws_generic.conf.j2`) or connections may fail.
- For most classic web applications, use the **basic template**.
- For apps where you want to inject or modify HTML (e.g., analytics scripts), **only the basic template** supports this.
