A constructor task after the update role and the swarm auto-placement installs, in one package-manager call, every package id of every role the host's groups may run: meta dependencies, service edges and every role invocation readable from tasks and handlers, conditions ignored. Ids that must stay with their role (a conditional install, a repository added first, a need before update) carry batch: false in meta/packages.yml and keep their task; roles reference shared root ids with shared: true. 42 per-role install tasks go, and a lint keeps the split: no batched id in a role task, none in a role run ahead of the batch.

sys-daemon
Description
Role to reset and configure the systemd manager for Infinito.Nexus.
It ensures a clean state of the manager configuration and applies default timeout values.
Overview
- Purges the systemd manager drop-in directory if requested.
- Validates all active unit files before reload/reexec.
- Applies default timeout values for systemd manager behavior.
- Provides handler-based reload/reexec for systemd.
Cosmos
The diagram places sys-daemon 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).

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
- Drop-in Purge: Optionally remove
