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.
* 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.

Add setting to enable ipv6
After some checking, it seems like there's `/_synapse/client/oidc`,
but no such thing as `/_synapse/oidc`.
I'm not sure why we've been reverse-proxying these paths for so long
(even in as far back as the `matrix-nginx-proxy` days), but it's time we
put a stop to it.
The OIDC docs have been simplified. There's no need to ask people to
expose the useless `/_synapse/oidc` endpoint. OIDC requires
`/_synapse/client/oidc` and `/_synapse/client` is exposed by default
already.
We'd be adding integration with an internal Traefik entrypoint
(`matrix_playbook_internal_matrix_client_api_traefik_entrypoint`),
so renaming helps disambiguate things.
There's no need for deperecation tasks, because the old names
have only been part of this `bye-bye-nginx-proxy` branch and not used by
anyone publicly.
This also updates validation tasks and documentation, pointing to
variables in the matrix-synapse role which don't currently exist yet
(e.g. `matrix_synapse_container_labels_client_synapse_admin_api_enabled`).
These variables will be added soon, as Traefik labels are added to the
`matrix-synapse` role. At that point, the `matrix-synapse-reverse-proxy-companion` role
will be updated to also use them.
- forego removing Docker images - it's not effective anyway, because it
only removes the last version.. which is a drop in the bucket, usually
- do not reload systemd - it's none of our business. `--tags=start`,
etc., handle this
- combine all uninstall tasks under a single block, which only runs if
we detect traces (a leftover systemd .service file) of the component.
If no such .service is detected, we skip them all. This may lead to
incorect cleanup in rare cases, but is good enough for the most part.
