kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 4.7 2a023ca6a1 chore(lint): autoformat strict-failure semantics + claude.sh rename
* scripts/lint/autoformat.sh:
  - rename run_sort_claude_settings worker to run_claude (matches the
    renamed scripts/lint/claude.sh).
  - drop the EXIT trap that wiped status_dir; cleanup happens explicitly
    after `wait` returns, so a parallel worker that interrupts the
    parent never races a vanished status dir.
  - each worker now captures its tool's exit code and writes one of
    OK / SKIP / FAIL. Tolerated `expected violations remain`-style exits
    (markdownlint-cli2 rc≤1, ansible-lint rc≤2) still count as OK; only
    real failures count as FAIL.
  - all workers run to completion regardless of individual tool failures
    (so the user always sees the full picture); after the summary, the
    script exits 1 if any worker reported FAIL.
* scripts/lint/sort_claude_settings.sh -> scripts/lint/claude.sh
  (history preserved via git mv); update test_claude_settings_sorted.py
  fix-hint accordingly.

Plus working-tree drift across roles/, group_vars/, inventories/,
requirements/, and .pre-commit-config.yaml accumulated from the
make-test setup phase regenerating generated artefacts during recent
test runs.

Systemd Timer

Description

This role configures a systemd timer to periodically start a corresponding service. It uses a Jinja2 template to create a timer unit file that specifies the scheduling parameters (such as OnCalendar and RandomizedDelaySec) and then restarts the timer service accordingly.

Overview

Optimized for automated task scheduling in a systemd environment, this role:

  • Generates a timer unit file for a given service (using the system_service_timer_service variable).
  • Reloads and restarts the timer using systemd to ensure that changes take effect.
  • Supports dynamic configuration of scheduling parameters via variables like system_service_on_calendar and RANDOMIZED_DELAY_SEC.

Purpose

The primary purpose of this role is to provide a reusable mechanism for scheduling recurring tasks on a system. By creating and managing a systemd timer unit, the role ensures that specified services are automatically started at defined intervals, enhancing system automation and reliability.

Features

  • Dynamic Timer Configuration: Uses a Jinja2 template to create a timer unit file based on provided variables.
  • Automated Service Management: Automatically reloads the systemd daemon and restarts the timer when changes are detected.
  • Flexible Scheduling: Supports configuration of parameters such as OnCalendar and RandomizedDelaySec for precise control over task timing.
  • Persistent Timers: Optionally enables persistent timer behavior to ensure missed activations are handled.
