matrix_synapse_systemd_service_post_start_delay_seconds is assigned a string value, and setup fails while creating the service file. It is impossible to compare str and int.
After Synapse's systemd health check passes, Traefik still needs
providers.providersThrottleDuration to register routes. Derive the
post-start delay from this setting (+1s for healthcheck polling gap)
instead of using a hardcoded value. Defaults to 0 when no Traefik
reverse proxy is used.

Switch the systemd ExecStartPost health check from docker exec + curl
to polling docker inspect for container health status. This piggybacks
on the container image's built-in HEALTHCHECK instead of duplicating it.
Also add a configurable container health interval (5s for Traefik setups,
15s otherwise) to speed up startup readiness detection without affecting
non-Traefik deployments.

Previously, we had a 10-second magical delay.
Now we first do a healthcheck to figure out when it really is up.
Then, we do the same 10-second magical delay to account for the time it
may take for a reverse-proxy (like Traefik) to pick up Synapse's routes.
Commit 593b3157b ("Fix systemd service Wants for mjolnir and draupnir")
accidentally swapped the variable loops: `systemd_wanted_services_list`
ended up generating `Requires=`/`After=` directives and
`systemd_required_services_list` ended up generating `Wants=` directives —
the opposite of what the variable names mean and how every other
bot/bridge service template in the playbook works.
This caused these bots to only `Wants=` (not `Requires=`/`After=`) their
dependencies like matrix-traefik.service, so systemd didn't guarantee
ordering. During all-at-once restarts, the bots would start before traefik
was ready, fail with DNS resolution errors, and crash.

The migrate service now declares Requires/After on matrix-synapse.service,
ensuring Synapse (and its transitive dependencies like Postgres and Docker)
are running before the migration triggers.
When DB credentials change (derived from matrix_synapse_macaroon_secret_key),
a running Synapse container may fail to connect to its database and stop
serving requests. This causes register_new_matrix_user to fail with
"Connection refused" when the matrix-user-creator role tries to register users.
This extends the retry logic from 44b43a51b (which handled HMAC failures)
to also handle Connection refused errors: restart Synapse (picking up the
new config with updated credentials), wait for it to start, and retry.

These IDs were incorrectly auto-derived from matrix_homeserver_generic_secret_key,
which is meant for secrets that are OK to change. Datastore IDs are static
identifiers that must never change after first use.
The playbook now requires users to explicitly set matrix_media_repo_datastore_file_id
(and matrix_media_repo_datastore_s3_id when S3 is enabled) in vars.yml, with
validation that fails early if they are missing.
This was the last usage of passlib, which is now removed from prerequisites.

When the registration_shared_secret changes (derived from
matrix_synapse_macaroon_secret_key), a running Synapse container still
has the old secret in its config. This causes register_new_matrix_user
to fail with "HMAC incorrect" when the matrix-user-creator role tries
to register users.
This mirrors the approach from 2a581cce (which added similar retry
logic for the Matrix Authentication Service on database auth failure):
if the initial registration attempt fails with an HMAC error, restart
Synapse (picking up the new config with the updated secret), wait for
it to start, and retry.

When the Postgres role updates database passwords (e.g., due to a
change in the secret derivation method), the Matrix Authentication
Service container may still be running with old configuration that
references the previous password. This causes mas-cli to fail with
"password authentication failed" when the matrix-user-creator role
tries to register users.
Rather than adding config-change detection or eager restarts to the
MAS role, this adds targeted retry logic: if the initial registration
attempt fails with a database authentication error, restart the MAS
service (which picks up the new config with the updated password),
wait for it to start, and retry. The restart usually only triggers
once per run since subsequent user registrations succeed after the restart.

The whoami-based approach is now the only implementation for sync worker routing.
It works with all token types (native Synapse, MAS, etc.) and is automatically
enabled when sync workers exist.
The old map-based approach only worked with native Synapse tokens (syt_<b64>_...)
and would give poor results with MAS or other auth systems.
This adds a new routing mechanism for sync workers that resolves access tokens
to usernames via Synapse's whoami endpoint, enabling true user-level sticky
routing regardless of which device or token is used.
Previously, sticky routing relied on parsing the username from native Synapse
tokens (`syt_<base64 username>_...`), which only works with native Synapse auth
and provides device-level stickiness at best. This new approach works with any
auth system (native Synapse, MAS, etc.) because Synapse handles token validation
internally.
Implementation uses nginx's auth_request module with an njs script because:
- The whoami lookup requires an async HTTP subrequest (ngx.fetch)
- js_set handlers must return synchronously and don't support async operations
- auth_request allows the async lookup to complete, then captures the result
via response headers into nginx variables
The njs script:
- Extracts access tokens from Authorization header or query parameter
- Calls Synapse's whoami endpoint to resolve token -> username
- Caches results in a shared memory zone to minimize latency
- Returns the username via a `X-User-Identifier` header
The username is then used by nginx's upstream hash directive for consistent
worker selection. This leverages nginx's built-in health checking and failover.
- Upgrade from 1.0.1 to 4.0.0
- Add ircService.mediaProxy configuration for authenticated Matrix media
- Add Traefik integration for media proxy endpoint
- Generate signing key for authenticated media
