docs(host-agent): document container-log collection [M79 step 6]

Design-spec updates for m79: the docker_logs_enabled / docker_log_exclude config
keys, the collect_docker_logs collector + the drop-logs-on-backoff note in the
agent internals, and a wire-format design point on docker_logs riding in the same
push (with server-side toggle/exclude enforcement + the per-container ring).

The end-to-end chain (store → rotate → query + ingest enforcement) is already
covered by the integration tests added across steps 2–5, so no capstone test is
added. AGENT_VERSION bump (1.7.0) landed in step 1.

+# Authoring Steward-friendly Ansible playbooks
+
+This is the contract between a playbook and Steward's run UI. Follow it and a
+playbook drops into Steward with a description, fill-in variable fields, correct
+targeting, and credentials supplied automatically — no per-playbook wiring.
+
+It applies to **any** playbook in a configured source (bundled, the writable
+local source, or a git source), including third-party ones.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Describe what it does — `# description:`
+
+Steward shows a one-line description when a playbook is selected in the run form.
+
+```yaml
+---
+# description: Reclaim disk on Docker/Swarm nodes by pruning unused images and build cache.
+- name: Docker system prune
+  hosts: all
+  ...
+```
+
+- Format: a comment line `# description: <text>` anywhere in the file. **First
+  match wins.** Case-insensitive on the `description:` key.
+- Why a comment and not a key: Ansible rejects unknown *play* keys (you can't add
+  `description:` to a play), so a comment is the portable place. It survives
+  `ansible-playbook` untouched.
+- Fallback: if there's no `# description:` comment, Steward uses the **first
+  play's `name:`**. So always give your play a meaningful `name:` even without
+  the comment.
+- Keep it to one readable line. Longer "how to use" notes can go in additional
+  normal comments — Steward only reads the `description:` line.
+
+## 2. Declare tunables in `vars:` — they become fill-in fields
+
+Every **scalar** entry in a play's `vars:` block becomes an editable field in the
+run form, with the default shown as the input's placeholder.
+
+```yaml
+  vars:
+    prune_all_images: false      # → checkbox-ish text field, placeholder "default: false"
+    keep_last_days: 7            # → field, placeholder "default: 7"
+    registry_url: ""             # → field, placeholder "no default"
+```
+
+- **Blank field = use the default.** Steward only sends fields the operator
+  actually fills, so an untouched field falls through to the playbook/inventory
+  default rather than overriding it.
+- Only scalars (string/int/float/bool) surface as fields. Lists/dicts are
+  skipped — set those in the playbook or via inventory group/host vars.
+- Values are delivered as **extra-vars** (`-e`), which are the **highest**
+  precedence in Ansible — they override the `vars:` defaults. (This is why the
+  default can be empty and still be safely overridden at run time.)
+
+### `vars_prompt:` also works
+
+Steward reads `vars_prompt` too. Use it when you want an explicit prompt or a
+required value:
+
+```yaml
+  vars_prompt:
+    - name: release_tag
+      prompt: "Which release to deploy?"     # shown as the field label
+      # no default → Steward marks the field REQUIRED
+    - name: admin_password
+      prompt: "Admin password"
+      private: true                          # → masked field, never stored
+```
+
+## 3. Secrets — name them so they're masked and not persisted
+
+A field is treated as **secret** (rendered masked, and its value is **never
+written to the DB / run history**) when either:
+
+- the variable name contains `password`, `passwd`, `secret`, `token`,
+  `api_key` / `apikey`, `private_key`, or `credential` (case-insensitive), **or**
+- it's a `vars_prompt` entry with `private: true` (Ansible's default for
+  vars_prompt is private).
+
+So name sensitive variables accordingly (`db_password`, `api_token`,
+`vault_secret`) and they're handled safely with no extra config. Non-secret
+run-time vars are persisted (so scheduled runs can reuse them); secret ones are
+passed to the run only.
+
+## 4. Target with `hosts: all`
+
+Steward builds the inventory itself from the **target / group** the operator
+picks in the run form (or the single host on a host page). Your play should:
+
+```yaml
+  hosts: all          # run against whatever Steward scoped to
+```
+
+- Don't hardcode hostnames or rely on a checked-in inventory for Steward runs
+  (Steward generates a fresh inventory per run).
+- Per-host connection vars (`ansible_host`, plus anything you set on the target
+  in **Ansible → Inventory**) arrive as inventory host vars.
+- The run form's **Limit** / **Tags** map to `--limit` / `--tags`.
+
+## 5. Privileges & connection — don't put credentials in the playbook
+
+Steward supplies SSH and become for you:
+
+- Steady-state runs connect as the managed **`steward`** account using Steward's
+  managed key; that account has **passwordless sudo**. So just use
+  `become: true` where you need root.
+- First-contact provisioning uses a one-time bootstrap user/password the
+  operator enters (never stored).
+- Never embed SSH keys, passwords, or `ansible_user`/`ansible_ssh_pass` in the
+  playbook. Connection identity is global (Settings → Ansible) or per-target.
+
+## 6. Be idempotent
+
+Steward re-runs playbooks (updates, schedules, retries). Use modules that
+converge (state-based) rather than ad-hoc `command:`/`shell:` where possible, so
+re-runs are safe.
+
+---
+
+## What Steward reads from a playbook (summary)
+
+| Source in the playbook | What Steward does with it |
+|---|---|
+| `# description: <text>` comment | Description shown on selection (first match) |
+| first play `name:` | Description fallback |
+| `# steward:category: <text>` | Grouping badge in the browse list + run form |
+| `# steward:confirm: true` | Requires a confirmation tick before the run launches |
+| `vars:` scalar entries | Run-time fill-in fields (placeholder = default) |
+| `vars_prompt:` entries | Run-time fields (required if no default) |
+| secret-looking var name / `private: true` | Field masked + value not persisted |
+| `hosts:` | Expected to be `all`; Steward provides the inventory |
+
+Everything else (SSH user/key, become password, the inventory, `steward_token`
+etc. for the agent playbooks) is injected by Steward at run time.
+
+## Metadata comments
+
+Steward reads metadata from magic comments (Ansible rejects unknown play keys,
+so comments are the portable place). Two forms:
+
+- `# description: <text>` — the description (see §1).
+- `# steward:<key>: <value>` — the namespaced metadata block. First match per
+  key wins; keys are case-insensitive.
+
+**Implemented `# steward:` keys:**
+
+| Key | Example | Effect |
+|---|---|---|
+| `category` | `# steward:category: maintenance` | Free-text grouping label. Shown as a badge in the browse list and on the run form. Purely organizational. |
+| `confirm` | `# steward:confirm: true` | Marks the playbook as significant/destructive. The run form then requires an explicit confirmation tick before it can be launched. Use for data-loss-capable plays (prune with volumes, resets, etc.). Truthy values: `true`/`yes`/`1`/`on`. |
+| `description` | `# steward:description: ...` | Alias for `# description:` (the unprefixed form takes precedence if both exist). |
+
+```yaml
+---
+# description: Reclaim disk on Docker/Swarm nodes by pruning unused data.
+# steward:category: maintenance
+# steward:confirm: true
+- name: Docker system prune
+  hosts: all
+  ...
+```
+
+Other `# steward:<key>:` keys are simply ignored today — the namespace is
+reserved, so it's safe to add ones Steward doesn't yet understand without
+breaking anything, but only `category`, `confirm`, and `description` do something.
+
+## Minimal annotated example
+
+```yaml
+---
+# description: Restart a systemd service and confirm it came back up.
+- name: Restart a service
+  hosts: all
+  become: true
+  gather_facts: false
+  vars:
+    service_name: ""        # required-ish: operator fills it in the run form
+  tasks:
+    - name: Validate input

+"""Model-free builder for the swarm-aware container view.

+Merges two sources into one service-grouped, cluster-complete picture:
+  • docker_containers — real container rows, collected LOCAL-per-node, so each
+    carries the host (= node) it runs on plus its swarm service/node labels.
+  • DockerSwarmService.placement_json — the managers' cluster-wide task→node
+    counts, which include tasks on nodes that run no Steward agent (and so have
+    no container row of their own).
+
+For every swarm service we list the real replicas we have detail for, then add
+"ghost" replicas for the remaining placement count on each node (agent-less
+nodes). Non-swarm containers pass through grouped by host, unchanged.
+
+Kept model-free (no ORM imports) so it's unit-testable and safe to import in
+tests without the plugin-loader "table already defined" gotcha.

+# Steward playbook conventions (quick reference)
+
+What Steward reads from a playbook in this subsystem. Full guide:
+`docs/reference/playbook-authoring.md`. Parser:
+`steward/ansible/sources.py` — `discover_playbook_meta()` and
+`discover_playbook_variables()`.
+
+## Magic comments (metadata)
+
+```yaml
+---
+# description: One line on what this playbook does.   # shown on selection
+# steward:category: maintenance                       # grouping badge
+# steward:confirm: true                               # require confirm to run
+- name: …            # used as the description if no `# description:` comment
+  hosts: all         # Steward generates the inventory from the chosen target/group
+```
+
+- `# description:` — first match wins; case-insensitive; falls back to first
+  play `name:`.
+- `# steward:<key>: <value>` — namespaced metadata. Implemented keys:
+  - `category` — free-text grouping label (badge in browse + run form).
+  - `confirm` — `true`/`yes`/`1`/`on` → run form requires a confirmation tick.
+  - `description` — alias for `# description:` (unprefixed wins if both present).
+  - Unknown `# steward:*` keys are ignored (namespace reserved for future use).
+
+## Structural cues (no comments needed)
+
+- **`vars:` scalars** → editable run-time fields (default shown as placeholder;
+  blank = keep default; values sent as highest-precedence extra-vars).
+- **`vars_prompt:`** → run-time fields (required when no default; `private: true`
+  → masked).
+- **Secret naming** — a var whose name contains `password`/`passwd`/`secret`/
+  `token`/`api_key`/`private_key`/`credential` is masked **and not persisted**.
+- **`hosts: all`** — target via the run form's scope; don't hardcode hosts.
+- **Credentials** — never embed them. Steward connects as the managed `steward`
+  account (passwordless sudo; use `become: true`) or one-time bootstrap creds.
+
+Be idempotent — Steward re-runs playbooks (updates, schedules, retries).

+
+A capability is a named, permission-gated action that one part of the system
+(core module or plugin) publishes and another can discover + invoke WITHOUT a
+hard import. The publisher registers a callable under a string key; a consumer
+checks `has_capability(key)` (graceful degradation — the synergy is a bonus,
+never a requirement) and calls `invoke_capability(key, actor_role, ...)`.
+
+First consumer: the host_agent plugin invokes "ansible.run_playbook" to deploy
+its agent via Ansible instead of importing the Ansible runner directly.
+
+Security: every capability declares a required_role; invoke_capability enforces
+the caller's role meets it, so a low-privilege context can't drive a privileged
+action in another module.

+"""Self-monitoring: record Steward's own open file-descriptor usage.

+A leaked socket/file handle in a poll loop (see the SNMP and UniFi fd-leak
+issues) used to fail silently until the process hit its fd ceiling and

+taking the whole app down with no early warning.
+

+  • ``open_fds_pct``  — that count as a percentage of the soft RLIMIT_NOFILE
+
+Both flow through the normal alert pipeline, so the operator can attach an alert
+rule to either via the existing alert-rules UI. As a zero-config floor we also
