kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5 5137465c6f style: delete every comment the comments-valid policy rejects
3529 invalid comments in 528 files, grandfathered in while the linter
only saw the working-tree diff. Removal ran through the linter's own
collectors, so detection and deletion cannot drift: a comment whose
opener line is blank before it and whose closer line is blank after it
loses all its lines, anything else loses only the comment region, and a
line left holding a bare delimiter goes with it.

Five files keep their comments behind a nocheck marker instead. Four are
upstream configs whose inline docs are upstream's own (mautrix, systemd
journald, nextcloud-oidc-login, MediaWiki). In littlejs the
commented-out entries ARE the deactivation mechanism for an example
tile, so deleting them would delete configuration.

User

Description

This role configures a basic user environment (shell dotfiles and SSH authorized_keys) for a user selected via user_key.

Overview

This role executes common tasks for user environment configuration.

Cosmos

The diagram places User 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).

    end

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

  • Automated provisioning: Configured by Ansible without manual steps.

User data resolution

User data is resolved via lookup('users', user_key) and referenced via user_key. Callers may pass user_config to override the resolved lookup result for one invocation.

Resolution rules:

  • user_username is resolved from lookup('users', user_key).username (fallback: user_key)
  • Home path and ownership are based on user_username
  • SSH keys are read from lookup('users', user_key).authorized_keys

Required input

  • user_key

Optional user fields

  • lookup('users', user_key).username (defaults to user_key)
  • lookup('users', user_key).authorized_keys (list; may be empty)
  • optional include-role var user_config to override the lookup result for the current call
