Matrix Authentication Service supports CAPTCHA protection (ReCaptcha
v2, Cloudflare Turnstile, hCaptcha) for certain operations like
self-service password registration, but configuring it required going
through matrix_authentication_service_configuration_extension_yaml.
Expose it via dedicated variables
(matrix_authentication_service_config_captcha_service, _site_key and
_secret_key), validate the service value and key presence, and document
the setup in the captcha documentation page, which so far only covered
Synapse and Dendrite.

Element Web redesigned its welcome page into a built-in component
(element-hq/element-web#33211, first released in spring 2026) and no
longer falls back to loading welcome.html. The custom page the playbook
installed had therefore silently stopped having any effect, and it was a
fork of an upstream file that upstream has deleted (its button icon
assets are already missing from current Element Web builds).
Remove the welcome.html shipping and the variables that only applied to
it (matrix_client_element_welcome_headline, _welcome_text,
_welcome_logo_link, _page_template_welcome_path), rejecting them in
validate_config.yml with pointers to the alternatives. Logo and
background customization keep working through Element Web's branding
options, which the new welcome page still honors. A fully custom page
can be self-hosted and wired via embedded_pages.welcome_url.

Synapse only generates thumbnails of local media at upload time (unless
dynamic_thumbnails is enabled, which the playbook does not do) and no
tooling exists to regenerate them, so restoring a backup left all
previously uploaded local images without thumbnails permanently. The
official Synapse backup guide recommends backing this directory up.
Related to #4004.

This is a major upgrade which performs a one-way database migration
and removes LDAP support upstream.
The continuwuity.toml.j2 template is re-synced with the v26.6.1 example
config. Notably, registration_token is now only rendered when non-empty,
because v26+ refuses to start when it is set to an empty string.

Add a "Expose the bridge's API" section to the common mautrix bridges
documentation page (covering the /bridges/<bridge> path, the
/.well-known/matrix/mautrix auto-discovery file, how to disable it, and
the custom-bridges hook), plus a CHANGELOG entry announcing the feature.

LiveKit v1.12.0 tightens TURN security: credentials now carry a TTL,
and TURN no longer relays to restricted peer CIDRs by default. The
role defaults match upstream's secure defaults and are appropriate
for typical playbook deployments.
Bumps the migration-validation gate accordingly so users are pointed
at the CHANGELOG entry on next run.

The former conduwuit maintainer (@x86pup, formerly @girlbossceo)
clarified in the PR thread that they endorse Tuwunel as conduwuit's
successor, and the archived conduwuit repo's README points there too.
Update the migration section in the conduwuit doc and the Tuwunel
CHANGELOG entry to reflect this with attribution.
Related to https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/5200.
Adds a top-level entry mirroring the style of the past Continuwuity
announcement: brief intro, the conduwuit-fork lineage, the migration
path via the binary-swap tag, and the standard caveat about not being
able to swap homeserver implementations on an existing deployment.

Matches the earlier Python -> Go rewrites of the other mautrix-* bridges.
Related to:
- https://github.com/mautrix/telegram/releases/tag/v0.2604.0
- https://mau.fi/blog/2026-04-mautrix-release/
The bridge is now a Go binary with upstream-handled automatic database and
config migration on first start, so in-place upgrades on Postgres should
Just Work for users on the defaults. The lottieconverter sidecar container
is gone (bundled upstream), and the public web-based login endpoint is
gone (login happens inside Matrix now).
Upstream v0.2604.0 has a known bug in the legacy SQLite migration that
can corrupt data. The role detects legacy Python-bridge SQLite databases
(via the `telethon_sessions` table signature) and refuses to upgrade,
pointing users to switch to Postgres (playbook-managed pgloader migration)
or wait for the next upstream release. The guard is isolated in its own
`validate_config_sqlite_legacy_migration_bug.yml` so it can be deleted
cleanly once upstream fixes the bug.
Removed variables (all caught by the deprecation check in
`validate_config.yml` with actionable rename/removal hints): the entire
`_hostname` / `_path_prefix` / `_scheme` / `_public_endpoint` /
`_appservice_public_*` / `_container_labels_public_endpoint_*` /
`_container_http_host_bind_port` family (web login endpoint is gone);
`_bot_token` (old-style relaybot is gone, use the common bridgev2 relay
mode); `_filter_mode` (dropped upstream); `_bridge_login_shared_secret_map*`
(use Appservice Double Puppet); `_username_template`, `_alias_template`,
`_displayname_template` (templates moved under `network:`, new Go-template
syntax, exposed via `_network_displayname_template`); all
`_lottieconverter_*` variables; `_appservice_database` (renamed to
`_appservice_database_uri`).
Added playbook-time validation that catches legacy permission values
(`relaybot`, `puppeting`, `full`) in the fully-merged config (so overrides
via `matrix_mautrix_telegram_configuration_extension_yaml` are caught too),
with a mapping hint in the error message.
Other notes:
- The legacy sqlite->postgres relocation of `{base_path}/mautrix-telegram.db`
to `{data_path}/mautrix-telegram.db` now happens BEFORE the pgloader
migration step, so users who flip to Postgres as part of this upgrade
get their data imported correctly.
- The Ketesa managed-user regex for the telegram namespace is updated to
match both regular IDs and the new `channel-<id>` form used by bridgev2.
- `matrix_playbook_migration_expected_version` bumped to v2026.04.24.0,
with a new breaking-change entry pointing at the CHANGELOG section.

MAS now connects to the playbook-managed Postgres via a UNIX socket by
default (when available), matching the approach already used by Synapse.

The companion role was tightly coupled to Synapse through shared tags, worker routing, and lifecycle ordering. Keeping them separate added coordination overhead without practical benefits, especially for parallelized execution.
This merges the role into matrix-synapse while keeping companion logic organized under dedicated reverse_proxy_companion task/template subdirectories.
Compatibility is preserved:
- matrix_synapse_reverse_proxy_companion_* variable names remain unchanged
- install/setup companion-specific tags remain available
Cross-role/global wiring is now in group_vars (matrix-synapse section), while role defaults provide sensible standalone defaults and self-wiring for Synapse-owned values.
- Override devture_systemd_service_manager_conditional_restart_enabled in
group_vars based on ansible_run_tags: disabled when setup-* tags are used,
enabled otherwise. This replaces the --extra-vars hack in the justfile and
ensures consistent behavior for both `just` and raw `ansible-playbook` users.
- Revert justfile setup-all to its original form (no --extra-vars needed).
- Update docs/just.md to reflect tag-agnostic behavior.
- Add CHANGELOG.md entry documenting the conditional restart feature.

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.

Replace password_hash('sha512', rounds=655555) with hash('sha512')
for all 114 secret derivations in group_vars/matrix_servers.
The old method (655k rounds of SHA-512) was designed for protecting
low-entropy human passwords in /etc/shadow. For deriving secrets
from a high-entropy secret key, a single hash round is equally
secure - the security comes from the key's entropy, not the
computational cost. SHA-512 remains preimage-resistant regardless
of rounds.
This yields a major performance improvement: evaluating
postgres_managed_databases (which references multiple derived
database passwords) dropped from ~10.7s to ~0.6s on a fast mini
PC. The Postgres role evaluates this variable multiple times, and
other roles reference derived passwords too, so the cumulative
savings across a full playbook run are substantial.
All derived service passwords (database passwords, appservice
tokens, etc.) will change on the next run. The main/superuser
database password is not affected (it's hardcoded in inventory
variables). All services receive their new passwords in the same
run, so this should be seamless.
