Overview

Optimized for idempotent cleanup operations, this role:

• Deletes Nginx server configuration files in /etc/nginx/conf.d/http/servers/ for each domain listed in deprecated_domains.
• Revokes and deletes corresponding Certbot certificates.
• Ensures cleanup tasks execute only once per playbook run.
• Notifies Nginx to restart after removing configurations.
