kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 4.8 c76c6da6a8 feat(svc-storage-nfs-server): userspace nfs-ganesha flavor for the swarm-test + refactor agent iteration docs
svc-storage-nfs-server gains a backend flavor selected by services.nfs-server.flavor (default "{{ 'ganesha' if RUNTIME in ['dev','act'] else 'kernel' }}"). The ganesha flavor installs nfs-ganesha + FSAL_VFS and renders /etc/ganesha/ganesha.conf (NFSv4, Pseudo == Path so clients mount the real paths unchanged, Root_Squash on the export base and No_Root_Squash on the state subdir), reloaded via systemctl restart. It runs in the dev/act DinD swarm-test, where the host kernel nfsd is not network-namespaced and a privileged node driving exportfs would wedge it into a D-state. The kernel flavor keeps nfs-kernel-server + exportfs -ra for production and every non-dev/act runtime. 01_core dispatches on the flavor, 03_prepare holds the shared export preparation, flavor/{kernel,ganesha}/main.yml hold the per-backend install/render/service steps, and handlers gains the ganesha restart.

docs/agents/action/iteration: role.md renamed to compose.md (Compose Loop); new swarm.md for the swarm deploy loop split out of workflow.md; workflow.md trimmed to GitHub Actions workflow iteration; all cross-references updated; the duplicated README gotcha removed; the NFS gotcha rewritten to the ganesha design.

Also drops a retired-flag history comment in group_vars/all/01_modes.yml and a redundant comment in the init selection script, and allows WebFetch(repology.org) used during ganesha packaging research.

# Testing and Validation ✅
Use the real commands from the repository. Run them from the repository root.
This repository uses several test and validation types:
- `Lint and syntax checks` catch style, formatting, and Ansible syntax problems early.
- `Unit tests` verify isolated logic.
- `Integration tests` verify behavior across modules and runtime boundaries.
- `External tests` verify live third-party state such as public registries or services when hermetic checks are insufficient.
- `Combined validation` runs the standard main verification flow.
- `Local deploy and E2E validation` checks whether apps and deployment flows work in a realistic local stack.
## Code Quality and Automated Checks 🔎
Use the following table to choose the right lint, syntax, unit, integration, or combined validation command for your change.
### Validation Commands 🛠️
| Category | Command | What it does | When to use it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lint | `make lint` | Runs the main lint checks for the repository. | Use this when you want a broad lint pass before pushing. |
| Syntax | `make lint-ansible` | Runs the Ansible syntax validation for `playbook.yml`. | Use this when you changed Ansible roles, inventories, or playbook-related files. |
| Lint tests | `make test-lint` | Runs the lint test suite inside the development environment. | Use this when you want CI-like lint validation. |
| Unit tests | `make test-unit` | Runs the unit test suite. | Use this when you changed Python logic or other isolated code paths. |
| Integration tests | `make test-integration` | Runs the integration test suite. | Use this when your change affects behavior across modules or runtime boundaries. |
| External tests | `make test-external` | Runs opt-in tests that depend on live third-party systems such as public registries. | Use this when you need live external verification. It is intentionally excluded from `make test`. |
| Combined validation | `make test` | Runs the main combined validation flow without the opt-in external suite. | Use this whenever a change touches at least one file that is not `.md` or `.rst`, or before opening a Pull Request. |
## Local Deploy and End-to-End Checks 🚀
For the retry-loop policy, use [Compose Loop](../../agents/action/iteration/compose.md) as the SPOT.
The table below is a command reference for the supported local deployment paths.
### Local Validation Commands 🏠
Use the following table when you need realistic local deployment validation or app-level end-to-end checks.
| Category | Command | What it does | When to use it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local deploy | `make compose-deploy apps=web-app-nextcloud` | Creates the needed inventory and deploys one or more apps. | Fresh deploy for a specific app set. |
| Local deploy | `make compose-deploy mode=update apps=web-app-nextcloud` | Reuses an existing `devices.yml` inventory and redeploys one or more apps quickly. | Fast reuse path. |
| Local deploy | `make compose-deploy mode=update apps=web-app-nextcloud purge=true` | Reuses an existing `devices.yml` inventory, purges the entity first, and redeploys one or more apps quickly. | Fast reuse path after a state reset. |
| Local deploy and E2E | `make compose-deploy mode=reinstall apps=web-app-matomo` | Runs a dedicated local validation flow for one or more apps against the dev stack, cycling the stack and re-initializing the inventory first. | Baseline and recovery path. |
| Full local validation | `make compose-deploy` | Builds the broader local deployment flow across apps. | Broad coverage when you explicitly need it. |
| Bundle deploy | `make compose-deploy bundles="<bundle>[,<bundle>]"` | Aggregates the role groups from one or more [inventories/bundles/](../../../inventories/bundles/) entries into `apps` and runs the reinstall flow. Set `full_cycle=true` for the async update pass. | One-shot validation of a curated app shape (e.g. `education-suite`). |
| Bundle redeploy | `make compose-deploy mode=update bundles="<bundle>[,<bundle>]"` | Same bundle resolution as the bundle deploy, but routes through the reuse path (no down/up, no entity purge). | Fast iteration loop after a prior bundle deploy. |
| Local reset | `make compose-inventory-refresh` | Recreates the local inventory without deploying apps. | Use this when your local inventory is broken or you want a clean reset. |
| Local cleanup | `make compose-system-purge` | Deletes local deploy artifacts and cleanup data. | Use this only when you really want to remove local state. |
Important:
- Some local deploy commands are destructive.
- Read [reset/README.md](../../../scripts/tests/deploy/local/reset/README.md), [purge/README.md](../../../scripts/tests/deploy/local/purge/README.md), or [exec/README.md](../../../scripts/tests/deploy/local/exec/README.md) before using the matching helper.
- For act-based workflow checks, see [Act Workflow Checks](../tools/act.md).
- After a successful local deploy, run `make network-trust-ca` and restart your browser.
## Suite Selection 🎯
- When exactly one test file changes inside one test family, you MAY scope the run with `INFINITO_TEST_PATTERN`.
- When two or more test files change inside the same test family, you MUST run the matching suite command without `INFINITO_TEST_PATTERN`:
`make test-lint`, `make test-unit`, `make test-integration`, or `make test-external`.
- When a change touches multiple test families, you MUST run every affected suite.
