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.

When both services restart simultaneously (e.g. in all-at-once mode),
Traefik may momentarily truncate or reinitialize acme.json, causing
the certs dumper to read an empty file and panic. By adding
Requires/After on the Traefik service, the certs dumper only starts
after Traefik is fully ready and acme.json is stable.

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.
Addons typically access the homeserver via Traefik, but requests
ultimately lead to the homeserver and it'd better be up or Traefik would
serve a "404 Not Found" error.
This is an attempt (one of many pieces) to make services more reliable,
especially when `devture_systemd_service_manager_service_restart_mode: all-at-once` is used
(which is the default).
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.
- `install-service` no longer forces `one-by-one` restart mode
- the coturn priority condition is flipped: only `one-by-one` mode
needs the delayed priority (1500); all other modes (including
the new `all-at-once` default) use the normal priority (900)

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.

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.

The cli-non-interactive script passes arguments directly to psql, which
interprets positional arguments as database names, not SQL commands.
Without the -c flag, commands like:
/matrix/postgres/bin/cli-non-interactive 'DROP DATABASE foo;'
fail with: FATAL: database "DROP DATABASE foo;" does not exist
The correct syntax requires -c to pass a command:
/matrix/postgres/bin/cli-non-interactive -c 'DROP DATABASE foo;'
This mistake was originally introduced in c399992542
when the matrix-bridge-mautrix-hangouts role was removed. That commit's
uninstallation docs were then used as a template and the error propagated
to subsequent removal documentation for other bridges and components.
