Three classes of drift cleaned up across 85 .md files:

- Em-dashes: replaced ` — ` with the contextually correct separator
  (colon for `term: explanation`, period to split clauses across
  sentences/source lines, parentheses for asides, semicolon for
  tight-linked continuations). Two intentional exceptions remain
  in `docs/contributing/documentation.md` (the rule literal) and
  inside a fenced ```sh block in `docs/contributing/actions/debugging/ci.md`.
- SPOT self-labels: rewrote "This is the SPOT for X" to describe
  the subject directly ("This directory holds X" / "This file
  describes X"). Cross-references to other artefacts' canonical
  role remain unchanged.
- Heading-emoji position: moved leading-emoji headings (`# 🧩 Title`)
  to trailing position (`# Title 🧩`) per the headline rule that
  emojis MUST come after the title text.

Webserver HTTPS Provisioning

Description

The sys-svc-webserver-https role extends a basic NGINX installation by wiring in everything you need to serve content over HTTPS:

  1. Ensures your NGINX server is configured for SSL/TLS.
  2. Pulls in Let’s Encrypt ACME challenge handling.
  3. Applies global cleanup of unused domain configs.

This role is built on top of your existing sys-svc-webserver-core role, and it automates the end-to-end process of turning HTTP sites into secure HTTPS sites.


Overview

When you apply sys-svc-webserver-https, it will:

  1. Include the sys-svc-webserver-core role to install and configure NGINX.
  2. Clean up any stale vHost files under sys-svc-cln-domains.
  3. Deploy the Let’s Encrypt challenge-and-redirect snippet from sys-svc-letsencrypt.
  4. Reload NGINX automatically when any template changes.

All tasks are idempotent. Once your certificates are in place and your configuration is set, Ansible will skip unchanged steps on subsequent runs.


Features

  • 🔒 Automatic HTTPS Redirect
    Sets up port 80 → 443 redirect and serves /.well-known/acme-challenge/ for Certbot.

  • 🔑 Let’s Encrypt Integration
    Pulls in challenge configuration and CAA-record management for automatic certificate issuance and renewal.

  • 🧹 Domain Cleanup
    Removes obsolete or orphaned server blocks before enabling HTTPS.

  • 🚦 Handler-Safe
    Triggers an NGINX reload only when necessary, minimizing service interruptions.
