Core Daemon Reset

Description

This role resets and cleans up all Infinito.Nexus core daemon systemd service units that match the configured suffix (SYS_SERVICE_SUFFIX).
It is primarily used in maintenance or reset scenarios when a full service cleanup is required.

Overview

When the MODE_RESET flag is enabled, the role will:

Run Once Per Play: Guarded by run_once_sys_rst_daemon to avoid duplicate execution.
Identify Service Units: Finds all /etc/systemd/system/*{{ SYS_SERVICE_SUFFIX }} units.
Stop and Disable Services: Gracefully stops and disables matching services.
Remove Unit Files: Deletes the corresponding unit files from the system.
Reload systemd: Ensures the service manager state is updated after cleanup.

Purpose

The main goal of this role is to ensure a clean and consistent state for core daemon services by removing obsolete or stale systemd units.
This is particularly useful when re-deploying or performing a full environment reset.

Features

Automated Cleanup: Stops, disables, and removes targeted systemd units.
Idempotent Execution: Runs only once per playbook run.
Configurable Targeting: Matches services using SYS_SERVICE_SUFFIX.
Systemd Integration: Reloads daemon state after changes.
