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.

# User
## Description
This role configures a basic user environment (shell dotfiles and SSH authorized_keys)
for a user selected via `user_key`.
## Overview
This role executes common tasks for user environment configuration.
## Cosmos
The diagram places User 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
flowchart LR
subgraph role [user 💻]
svc_user["user"]
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
- **Automated provisioning:** Configured by Ansible without manual steps.
## User data resolution
User data is resolved via `lookup('users', user_key)` and referenced via `user_key`.
Callers may pass `user_config` to override the resolved lookup result for one invocation.
Resolution rules:
- `user_username` is resolved from `lookup('users', user_key).username` (fallback: `user_key`)
- Home path and ownership are based on `user_username`
- SSH keys are read from `lookup('users', user_key).authorized_keys`
## Required input
- `user_key`
## Optional user fields
- `lookup('users', user_key).username` (defaults to `user_key`)
- `lookup('users', user_key).authorized_keys` (list; may be empty)
- optional include-role var `user_config` to override the lookup result for the current call
