Kevin Veen-Birkenbach a552ea175d feat(dns): add sys-svc-dns role and extend parent DNS handling
Introduce sys-svc-dns to bootstrap Cloudflare DNS prerequisites. Validates CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN, (optionally) manages CAA for base SLDs, and delegates parent record creation to sys-dns-parent-hosts. Wired into sys-stk-front-pure.

sys-dns-parent-hosts: new parent_dns filter builds A/AAAA for each parent host and wildcard children (*.parent). Supports dict/list inputs for CURRENT_PLAY_DOMAINS, optional IPv6, proxied flag, and optional *.apex. Exposes a single parent_build_records entry point.

Let’s Encrypt role cleanup: remove DNS/C AA management from sys-svc-letsencrypt; it now focuses on webroot challenge config and renew timer. Fixed path joins and run_once guards.

Tests: update unit tests to allow wildcard outputs and dict-based CURRENT_PLAY_DOMAINS. Add generate_base_sld_domains filter. Documentation updates for both roles.

sys-dns-parent-hosts

Create Cloudflare DNS A/AAAA records only for parent hosts (hosts that have children), and always include the apex (SLD.TLD) as a parent.

Examples:

  • c.wiki.example.com -> parent: wiki.example.com
  • a.b.example.com -> parent: b.example.com
  • example.com (apex) -> always included

Inputs

  • parent_dns_domains (list[str], optional): FQDNs to evaluate. If empty, the role flattens CURRENT_PLAY_DOMAINS.
  • PRIMARY_DOMAIN (apex), defaults_networks.internet.ip4, optional defaults_networks.internet.ip6
  • Flags:
    • parent_dns_enabled (bool, default: true)
    • parent_dns_ipv6_enabled (bool, default: true)
    • parent_dns_proxied (bool, default: false)

Usage

  • Include the role once after your constructor stage has set CURRENT_PLAY_DOMAINS.

Tests
