The third shape: a non-mautrix bridge. It confirms the scaffolding is not
mautrix-specific, and it is laid out differently enough to be worth having -
everything sits directly under the base path rather than in config/ and
data/ subdirectories, the owner and homeserver URL are passed on the command
line rather than through a config file, so the unit is where they can be
checked, and identd optionally binds host port 113.

matrix-base's matrix_server_fqn_* family moved into the shared context;
18 of the roles here read one of them.

Three roles now, three shapes - HTTP receiver, mautrix bridge, non-mautrix
bridge - and the scaffolding took no per-shape special-casing beyond each
role's own variables.

The second scenario, chosen to be a bridge rather than another HTTP
component: bridges are roughly 40 of the 70 roles here, and validating the
shape on role two is cheaper than discovering it on role forty. It found
two things the first role could not.

Bridges read a whole family of variables from outside themselves -
matrix_bridges_relay_enabled, _encryption_enabled, _encryption_default,
_msc4190_enabled, _self_sign_enabled, plus matrix_admin - all defined in
matrix-base. Since every bridge reads them, they belong in shared context
rather than in each bridge's scenario: molecule-shared/playbook-context.yml
now carries them along with the identity and path variables the first
scenario had inline. Note it is loaded through vars_files, which outranks
inventory group_vars, so it is authoritative; a scenario that wants to prove
one of these reaches the rendered configuration should say so explicitly.

Appservices call /whoami while starting and refuse to run if the id returned
is not the bot user they were configured as - mautrix-whatsapp exits 17 with
"Unexpected user ID in whoami call". The shared stub now takes the id it
should claim to be. Expect every bridge and bot to need this.

What the scenario proves: the bridge starts and stays up, opens its
appservice port, its rendered config and appservice registration carry the
scenario's tokens and bot user, it created its sqlite database under the
role's data path as the role's uid, and it runs the version the role pins.
It does not bridge anything and never will.
