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).

Systemd Timer
Description
This role configures a systemd timer to periodically start a corresponding service. It uses a Jinja2 template to create a timer unit file that specifies the scheduling parameters (such as OnCalendar and RandomizedDelaySec) and then restarts the timer service accordingly.
Overview
Optimized for automated task scheduling in a systemd environment, this role:
- Generates a timer unit file for a given service (using the
system_service_timer_servicevariable). - Reloads and restarts the timer using systemd to ensure that changes take effect.
- Supports dynamic configuration of scheduling parameters via variables like
system_service_on_calendarandRANDOMIZED_DELAY_SEC.
Purpose
The primary purpose of this role is to provide a reusable mechanism for scheduling recurring tasks on a system. By creating and managing a systemd timer unit, the role ensures that specified services are automatically started at defined intervals, enhancing system automation and reliability.
Features
- Dynamic Timer Configuration: Uses a Jinja2 template to create a timer unit file based on provided variables.
- Automated Service Management: Automatically reloads the systemd daemon and restarts the timer when changes are detected.
- Flexible Scheduling: Supports configuration of parameters such as OnCalendar and RandomizedDelaySec for precise control over task timing.
- Persistent Timers: Optionally enables persistent timer behavior to ensure missed activations are handled.
