Add support for all server_notices settings documented by Synapse:
- room_avatar_url: optional avatar for the server notices room
- room_topic: optional topic for the server notices room
- auto_join: whether users are auto-joined instead of invited (default: false)

Expose Synapse's `msc4306_enabled` experimental flag as a first-class MDAD
variable and wire it into `homeserver.yaml` alongside the other experimental
feature toggles.
This makes thread-subscriptions support explicit in playbook configuration,
rather than requiring operators to inject the upstream flag via raw
`matrix_synapse_configuration_extension_yaml`.
The variable intentionally controls only the Synapse feature flag. It does not
change the default `thread_subscriptions` worker count, which remains `0` in the
standard presets. Keeping those as separate choices avoids auto-starting an
experimental worker just because the upstream feature toggle is enabled.

- b99a58719b/synapse/config/experimental.py (L600-L602)

Add `thread_subscriptions` as a supported web-facing stream writer in MDAD and
route its unstable client endpoints via the same explicit writer-or-main model
used for the other web-facing stream-backed APIs.
This is not just another generic worker route. Current Synapse gives thread
subscriptions their own `writers.thread_subscriptions` configuration, backs them
with a multi-writer stream, and asserts on store writes that the current
instance is an allowed thread-subscriptions writer.
Explicit early routing is also required here because the subscription endpoint is
room-scoped. In MDAD's specialized-worker model, the existing room-worker regex
would otherwise match `/_matrix/client/unstable/io.element.msc4306/rooms/...`
and steal the request before it reached the correct writer-or-main fallback.
Unlike `device_lists`, support is added without enabling a thread-subscriptions
worker by default in the standard presets. The underlying MSC4306/4308 feature
remains unstable and disabled by default upstream, so the conservative default
is to keep the worker count at `0` and let the new explicit routes fall back to
`main` unless an operator opts in.
Refs:
- b99a58719b/synapse/config/workers.py (L175-L182)
- b99a58719b/synapse/rest/client/thread_subscriptions.py (L38-L247)
- b99a58719b/synapse/storage/databases/main/thread_subscriptions.py (L66-L83)

Some client API endpoints (e.g. keys/upload) are backed by Synapse stream writers and
should not rely on broad worker regexes or route-order fallthrough for correctness.
When explicit per-stream routing is missing, requests may be captured by generic, room, or client_reader workers, instead of:
- going to the configured stream writer
- or to `main` when that stream writer is not enabled
This refactors synapse-reverse-proxy-companion's routing so that web-facing stream-backed endpoint families
are handled explicitly and early, with deterministic writer-or-main fallback.
Add first-class support for the missing `device_lists` stream writer,
generalize the same routing model to `push_rules`,
and remove stale broad-route ownership for device-list-sensitive endpoints.
Add matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_ldap_tls_options_ca_certs_file
variable to allow specifying a custom CA certificate file for LDAP TLS
verification. Useful when Synapse is running in a container that does not
trust a private/internal CA by default.
Example usage:
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_ldap_tls_options_ca_certs_file: /etc/ssl/certs/my-ca.crt
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.
These three roles have multiple variable prefixes each:
- kakaotalk: matrix_appservice_kakaotalk + matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_node
- telegram: matrix_mautrix_telegram + matrix_mautrix_telegram_lottieconverter
- synapse: matrix_synapse + matrix_synapse_customized + matrix_synapse_rust_synapse_compress_state
For each: renamed _docker_image* to _container_image* (and _docker_src*,
_docker_repo* where applicable), added deprecation entries in
validate_config.yml, updated group_vars references, and moved
deprecation tasks to the front of validate_config.yml.

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.
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.
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.
This works around an issue with Matrix Authentication Service's `syn2mas` sub-command (at version v0.16.0),
which chokes with an error:
> Error: Failed to load Synapse configuration
> Caused by:
> invalid type: found unit, expected struct EnableableSection for key "default.cas_config" in homeserver.yaml YAML file
This issue is likely to be fixed in MAS v0.16.1 or v0.17.0.
This also reverts e5574a405e because:
- it was causing issues on some servers (not clear why)
- such workarounds are no longer necessary when doing multi-stage building.
* Enable Internal Admin API Access separately from Public access.
* Add Config variable for Draupnir Hijack command
And also make the internal admin API be automatically activated when this capability is used.
* Apply suggestions from code review

* Further Refine Internal Admin API
* Add Non Worker Labels for Internal Admin API
* Variable Rename
* Add validation rules for Internal Synapse admin API
* Add Draupnir Admin API required config validation.
* Override `matrix_synapse_reverse_proxy_companion_container_labels_internal_client_synapse_admin_api_traefik_entrypoints` via group vars
* Wire `matrix_bot_draupnir_admin_api_enabled` to `matrix_bot_draupnir_config_admin_enableMakeRoomAdminCommand` in Draupnir's `defaults/main.yml`
* Remove unnecessary `matrix_bot_draupnir_admin_api_enabled` override from `group_vars/matrix_servers`
The same value is now (more appropriately) defined in Draupnir's `defaults/main.yml` file anyway.
* Add additional condition (`matrix_bot_draupnir_enabled`) for enabling `matrix_synapse_container_labels_internal_client_synapse_admin_api_enabled`
* Use a separate task for validating `matrix_bot_draupnir_admin_api_enabled` when `matrix_bot_draupnir_config_admin_enableMakeRoomAdminCommand`
The other task deals with checking for null and not-blank and can't handle booleans properly.
